Fun Fact: Kettle hats, like the one our armored gobbo wears, were used in WWI because it was vital to protect soldiers from raining debris and explosion shrapnel.

That said, I love this design. He(?) looks ready to be shipped to a Fantasy Expy of the WWI Trenches...

...ah fuck, he's gonna need a hug in a few days, isn't he? :I

Kettle helmets have been used since long before WWI, there are known historical examples from the 12th century onward, and art depicting them earlier than that.
