I'm sure everyone saw this coming from a mile away. Hell, I saw him before Korra premiered in the preview and I went "Aw, shit, I'm gonna cosplay that." Masks masks masks masks masks
20 HOURS LATER....this. It's a bit too wide and I actually got the top marking really wrong, but well that's what the hood is for, to cover these mistakes.
Mask is made from my usual method, cast of my face in Rigid Wrap (plaster bandages), built and sculpted up with paper clay, sanded to hell and back, and then coated with 10000000 layers of gesso and then also sanded to hell and back.
Colors are acrylic. The mask shade is a combo of a lot of white, some spring green, some golden yellow, some dark tan, and a smidge of brown. I can't really remember the ratio, since it was pretty much mixing until the color looked right. The shade was then mixed with more white to make the base. That thin red line no joke, took me 5 hours to paint. No, I don't have a steady hand.
Hood is from my Phantasm costume, I haven't made the costume yet but I will for New York Comic Con. Hope to see some Equalists there!

EDIT: I finished the costume,
