If I'm going to build a mallet to run around with...

I should at least provide a way to hide your identity in the way old cartoons and comics do, with a simple eye mask that renders any witnesses absolutely 100% incapable of recognizing or identifying you in any way.

With some crude face measurements, and alot of scribbling, I got a paper template going.

You see where I am going with this. Basically an infinity or sideways eight to go over the eyes.

That thinner one you see was the first one, after trying it against a real face I felt the eye coverings could be thicker to cover the roundy part of the cheek and the eye brows.

When I was happy with the shape, I traced to EVA foam and assembled the bones from four parts.

This shape seemed to be working. Now to reinforce with a second layer of foam...

and bound with a hair tie after applying a little heat. I wanted it to curve in this direction.

With the second layer dried and stuck to the other, I cut the edges just slightly bigger.

I was able to apply some rubber cement and pinch the edges down to make an even more curved and more smooth edge.

What about the eye holes?

With a bit of rubber cement and some manual persuasion, I made some smooth edges in the eye holes. This you see is the back of the mask.

An assist from a clothespin for the drying process.

More clothespin action to help work on a nose shape.

After a few applications of light heat, clothespins, ties and tape I get this.

Then another face test. I spent some time further shaping and making it flexible enough to lay against a face more properly.

After a few days of shaping, it was time for paint.

I laid it down thick on the first coat. I went back and brushed down the amount of paint.

After drying I went over with another (thinner) layer.

I took a Dremel to the raised edges on the back side of the mask in the hopes that it will improve the fit on the nose and improve comfort around the eyes.

I cut parts from this face mask to use with this eye mask.

I pretty much have this mask done. What I am doing now is some minor shaping to make the fit more comfortable. Then I will do some touch up painting and a final seal.

My first shot at a very cartoony mask in real life.
