yes I'm planning to do a helmet as well. One step at a time.
The view is actually supposed to be a 45 degree angle looking down from the sky, so you get bits of the top view and bits of the front view. This is suggested by the shield, the spear and strongly by the head, as you can see the top of his hair. I also tried to give this perspective to the body and the armor, but as I said It needs more work.
Lets see those edits !!!
