Feedback on Commander's Helm skins + Battle Rond suggestions

Hopefully it's not too late to give feedback on these skins for the Commander's Helm. The core difference between them and their regular counterpart is that the wings are bigger + more plentiful. That's cool I guess, but at a glance it's hard to differentiate them from regular battle helms. Personally, I think they would do well with a unifying trait that is a giveaway to the fact that it's an upgrade, such as a unicorn horn (or similar adornment) in protrudes out from the front of the helmet, similar to the default sprite. Incorporating the beefalo fur elsewhere would also be a nice touch as it helps sell the more "luxurious, high class" appeal of the Helm compared to the standard battle helm, although I wouldn't mind if that detail was missing.

As a side note, if it's still on the table I would personally LOVE if there was a helmet that actually covered the face like a legitimate helmet - probably not completely but moreso than what we have current in-game. Most helmets wouldn't work because they're thrown-together and such (insert "muh survival scenario" here) but Wigfrid's Commander Helm gives the perfect excuse to circumvent that. I have given one of my own modded sprites as an example of what I'm talking about here.

Also to tack on to this topic a little bit, the Battle Rond is a really nice addition to Wigfrid's arsenal, but doesn't really visually mix well with the rest of her kit if she is using a skin set for her equipment. Perhaps we could get a skin for each variant of Battle Spear/Helm set? Hell, you could get VERY creative with shield designs, such as a shield of my own design I attached here as an example (I dabbled in modded shields for a bit.)

PS: To readers, these sprites aren't free, please don't use them unless I give you explicit permission. I posted these to back up my visual ideas so they aren't just words on a screen but rather tangible examples. In regards to if I will ever use these.... Eh...? I've pretty much dropped DST modding as a whole a few months back.

I felt this immediately after the skins were released, but it really only takes a bit of gameplay before your brain starts recognizing the different shape as a different helmet. It's just something new to get used to!

Sure you can get used to it, but I... don't want to? I feel like the Commander's Helm would benefit thematically from being visually distinct from regular Battle Helms.
