GN-011 Gundam Harute Ori.V - head

Again, i simplified the head design, by turning the faceplate into the glass-face you might find on GN Archer (or GM grunts, if you might), since i thought Harute's normal eyes was a waste anyway with it being covered by a blue-glass panel, so made them eyeless instead.

I had a struggle with redesigning Marute Mode's face. I always wanted all of the 6 eyes to be placed on the face (unlike how it was originally, where 4 eyes are on the face, and the rest is on the forehead, right beneath the V-fins - which i find odd since the separate placement of the forehead-eye made me forgot it had eyes on it), but couldn't imagine how to make the face looked good. I originally intended to make Marute had a mouth much like Evangelions, with 2 eyes glows inside it between the teeth. Turned out didn't like the proportion at all (and on second thought, too cannibalistic for Hallelujah). Then i realized Eva's cheekbones that went along to the bridgenose, which got me through it and made the face proportion that just felt exactly right!

The glass-faceplate splits to the sides and the forehead slides up to reveal the 6-eyed Marute mode's face.
