Description
I really wanted an Amon mask, and being the cheapskate that I am, decided to make one that would cost me nothing, so I looked at an old soda bottle and a pasta box that were sitting in the recycling and thought, "Hey, that could work!"And it did.

Hey! Absolutely amazing work, especially considering some of these are going online for $100 or more.
I'm actually strongly considering cosplaying as Amon for this year's NYCC, since my college's contemporary science fiction/anime club is going there for a group cosplaying outing. I kind of don't feel like burning my wallet for this kind of thing (at least the mask), plus I think it'll be kind of fun to try making the mask on my own and see where it goes.
So I was reading up on some instructions online at work. Some used styrofoam heads and apoxie sculpt and high-grade sanders and heat guns and....yeah. But when I saw yours, I got more encouraged. Yeah! This was actually doable!
So thanks for inspiring me to keep on trying~ I'm gonna see if I can gather some things around the house to make this work, sort of in the same vein as yours. My only question is: Can you gimme a teensy tiny hint on what you used as a base for the nose? Specifically the plastic thingy. It looks like a clothes line thing? I can't really be sure haha.
Either way, great work! And pretty badass final product.

Wow, I'm so glad I could inspire you! I believe that part in particular was made from the curvy divets at the base of the soda bottle. The brown parts around the nostrils and next to the bridge of the nose are simply more pasta box cardboard. In fact, the entire mask's structure is just one soda bottle, one cereal box, and scotch tape. Here are more pictures if you haven't seen them yet:Β imgur.com/a/xxJEE
Let me know if you have any more questions!

Hey! Sorry for the lateness in this, Comic Con was on the 11th of October but I've been so insanely busy, this is like my first weekend free since then.
I ended up making the mask, though, thanks to you! It wasn't perfect, but I'm pretty damn proud of it for my first attempt at ... well, anything artsy-and-craftsy, really. I wanna try and see if I can make more masks in the future, just for fun in my spare time.
I'll post pics of the progress I made in my gallery so you can check 'em out!
Thanks so much again

This deviation deserves more love. Brilliant to repurpose easy-to-use materials into a complex shape like amon's mask. Fave++;
