We are so dang close to seeing a full set of Mandalorian armor decked out in Buffalo Bills colors, and believe me, it’s already looking next-level. The artist just dropped the final paint on the leg and shoulder pieces, and while the helmet got an early reveal thanks to the Bills themselves copying the design (can you believe that?!), there were still promises made along the way that had to be kept. One of those promises just got revealed, and it’s a total game-changer, an honest-to-goodness upgrade on what anyone expected!
The “Bills Nebula” Paint is Killer, But What’s Hidden?
Alright, so the paint design is finally out there. Yeah, it might be the “least intriguing” part of this reveal, but come on, it still looks pretty sweet! Most of the armor has that deep base coat of blue, and the artist stuck with it. But remember, this is a Sabine Wren helmet, and that means graffiti artist vibes. You know it couldn’t just be plain blue! It’s not as wild as the tassets and spaulders, but the ombre design from the blaster totally inspired this piece, and it just works. They’re calling it the “Bills Nebula” design, and it’s pure fire. The center decorative bit might not be as clean as they hoped, but honestly, it totally fits that “kinda beat up” look. Plus, they’re still holding back a full view, so we can’t even see the Batman elements integrated into the plates! What are they hiding, man?!
A Promise Kept, Then Blown Out of the Water!
Way back, the artist talked about the helmet design, and the vertical charge (way better than that thick horizontal one, just sayin’) was completed exactly as promised. But they also hinted at a design for the opposite side of the helmet, a “good version” of it. The initial concept was a cross between a bison skull and the mythosaur logo, tested with Frog Tape for stenciling. When that charge stripe went on the helmet, the artist felt it just looked…right. So, they decided *not* to paint the bison/mythosaur on the helmet at all. And you know what? That’s not abandoning a promise, that’s improving it!
This person might call themselves an “acceptable” or “not too shabby” spray painter, but they’re clearly underselling it. What they *don’t* hold back on is their wood carving skill, and holy moly, they showed off some insane wood and steel miniatures: the Great Scythe from Dark Souls, the Blade of Mercy from Bloodborne, Geralt’s twin swords from The Witcher, Squall’s gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII, and The Soul Reaver from the Legacy of Kain/Blood Omen series. The promise made wasn’t for paint, it was for *this*. If you can whittle wood like that, why not plastic? And yeah, they absolutely crushed it.
The full set of this Bills-Mandalorian armor is getting closer every day. You know we’ll be here, eyes glued, ready for the next drop from this incredible artist. What’s the next surprise they’ll pull out for us? Can’t wait to see the finished product!
