I need some assistance with the eye socket of this cosplay. But first, some photos of anti-sora

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

This is the mask I bought to alter a bit:

Mask

I was researching yellow see-through fabrics that might work to bring out the eyes. But with no luck. So I thought i ask for help with some fabric suggestions. I really don't want to be led by the hand wearing the mask so it would be great if someone could lead me in the right direction as to what I should use for the eyes.

Thanks.

I'd say paint the mask black, then find a pair of sunglasses with gold shades, then pop out the lenses for it : o
You can either try and cut them to fit to the eye holes if you have the resources to do so, or you can tape them together, and then tape or glue them to the inside of your mask. I'd try and fit them to the eye holes, but not everyone has the patience, or is able to do that. Or time.

When I cosplayed Zacharie from Off, I made the mask and used some black fabric, but stretched it out so i could still see around, but others couldn't see my eyes. No matter how stretched out I got the fabric however, it was still very hard to see, and I had to have my friend help me. Case in point, fabric looks great, but doesn't alwawys work : o . Just something to keep in mind whenever you make another mask where the eyes are covered. Not to say it doesn't work, but just saying it's not always the best option!
I hope this helps you. Have fun making the rest of your cosplay, and remember to post a picture when you're done! I'd love to see it : 3c

hey!

That's an awesome idea that Quinn came up with!

If you can't get your hands on a pair of yellow-lensed shades, then I know they sell those Spandex see-through masks online. You could cut out the fabric to size and see if that works? I found a link to one on Amazon. V

SecondSkinSpandex

Also, I heard of people using Tulle or Scrim fabrics. Both are thin fabrics. Aesthetically, I would choose the lenses or if the Spandex mask.

Hope you figure it out! I would love to see the finished product!

Oh btw, maybe it's just for me, but I can't click on the mask you bought. The IMGlink doesn't work.

I looked up some Jawa tutorials and even though its a different character I think they could head you in the right direction

Oh my god thank you so much for this idea. I wouldn't have thought of using the lens of glasses. I'm going to try and fit it perfectly into the eye holes. i was thinking of using a dremel or just sand it down by hand. Never did that before so hopefully it goes well. I'll be order cheap glasses on ebay to do some testing

I feel like I'll be having my friends guide me with this cosplay xD But thanks for the suggestion of black material. I'm such a perfectionist that i know I'll be so irritated if I can see my eyes through the lenses lol

And I'll be sure to post pictures when I'm done <3 hopefully it goes well.
I would love to see your pictures of Zacharie if you have any. It's such an interesting mask.

Thanks for telling me about the link. I had to go fix it lol

I just ordered the second skin spandex on ebay. One black and one yellow. it seems I have to experiment with them and see what works. I was thinking of using the lenses that quinn suggested and use the second skin spandex to cover my eyes. It seems logical but only experimenting will tell xD

I'll be sure to post up the finish product if/when I complete it ^_^

i don't think I'll have time to figure out lighting them up since I'm really bad with wiring things, but the last link seems doable. Thank you for this. It would be so cool if I could make this mask light up. x3 After the convention I'm sure I'll be upgrading this mask.

Thanks for the links. They helped a lot.

Good idea! I'd suggest definitely experiment with it and get the feel for it. Be careful so you dont end up cracking the lenses too! : o

Once I update my Zacharie cosplay, I'll be sure to post a picture here >u< I only had one picture (which was a mirror selfie before the con I went to orz). I have to fix my mask still and buy black facepaint vuv

Not a problem! It was the first thing I thought of when I read that you were cosplaying anti-sora. I'm not very good with wiring either and I agree that the last link looks the easiest but I wasn't sure what you were able to do so I thought I would give you some variety. And it helps me a little bit since I plan on making a Jawa cosplay ;P
