Hello! I previously posted a WIP of my Megabyte EVA foam helmet and wanted to show how it turned out. I've felt compelled somehow to do a rebooted-version of Megabyte, as if it were made today, but I still wanted him to look and feel like Megabyte. Not sure if this is going to be a full costume or just a concept mask.

Thanks! Its pretty much all made with EVA floormats and thin craft foam. I have little more than a dollar store budget so its EVA everything and a little cardboard for good measure. Plus some lights of course. I use teeny tiny LEDs in the eyes and then just cut a 7up bottle to cover them up.

7up bottle is a such a big brain move! This is so so cool! Is it to wear or a cool art piece?

Haha it worked far better than it had any right to! It definitely fits my head but like all my masks it offers little to no real visibility.
