GOOGLEY EYES!
Genius!
And much cheaper than what I was going to do...
I was thinking of buying hammer rivets and just using the one side.

lol... I'll paint them before they go on the mask. It's easier to work the clear coat without having to pilot around rivets. :lol

That last shot with the robe looks great. You're eyes aren't fully showing. Just the bottom half of them show. That's perfect. Still looks odd with the mouth showing. I'm looking at the Bowen statue again and I think the difference with yours is that the mouth goes straight across. His mouth is curved downward, like a frown. That gives it that evil look.

Yeah; I didn't deviate from the pep file much. The mouth is pretty straight in it.

Re: First intro; first build! Dr. Doom Pepakura
It doesn't curve up. It's all based on the angle of the photo. If I take a lower, more dramatic shot, it looks curved down. That's the nature of a curve!
I am making armor next. My cape and tunic are in progress by a friend, who took over last minute after my original seamstress experienced sewing machine failure. The armor will be most likely basic template armor; nothing super fancy. I want it to look old-world, not modern tech. Plus, I only have two weeks til NYCC, so I gotta get crackin!

You love the Bowen stuff, huh?
I looked at the Bowen statues, and yes; he does exaggerate the curvature of the mouth more than the pep. As for the armor, I would like to emulate his work if I can with my time constraints. We'll see how that works out over the next few days...

I do like the Bowen statue and with it sitting on a shelf right behind my monitor, I'm constantly seeing it. :lol I also like the version that Bob Layton did in Iron Man 150. Those are the definitive, classic Doom. I just don't think people need to get all fancy with the armor. The Bowen one is simple and it works.

Googley eyes :lol
They worked perfectly, and they were 99 cents for 20!

I taped them to a sheet of paper, then gave them a light sanding for better paint adhesion. (just in case)
Then, I sprayed them with the Stainless steel paint (two coats) and washed them with grey.
I wiped off the tops, and them let them dry.
Then, I just superglued them on. Quick and painless!
