Alright, first and foremost, YES, I am already planning out my cosplay for next year's Anime Banzai xD
So, for all you cosplayers and crafters out there, I have a question [or two] for you!
For this upcoming cosplay, I will be wearing a helmet. I know how to make the helmet and am in fact already working on the prototype.
However, I do need a little help with the 'visor' part. This visor needs to act somewhat like a two-way mirror/car window tinting.
I need to be able to see out of it, but I don't want others to be able to see my face. So it needs to be opaque [and even reflective] on the convex side, but transparent on the concave side.
This visor is somewhat half-dome shaped, so car tinting probably won't do the trick without wrinkling. Perhaps some sort of paint? Even if you just give me a link to a tutorial it would be very helpful!
Secondly, so I don't pass out from heat exhaustion as a result of wearing my helmet all day, I've been given a little word of advice: to add a small fan inside of the helmet to circulate air. [much like the little fans you find inside of computers] This is only a suggestion, and something I'm not completely set on yet, but if I find a good way to do this, I may end up doing it.
Oh, and if you want to know who I will be cosplaying as...
Are there really no Zero plz icons????
