Glowing Eyes Help?

[MaxAlpine]

In time for a convention next year, Me and my friend are going to be starting soon on a costume for Nightmare from Soul Calibur 2, I've got a bunch of it planned out, with just a little left for experimenting to do with materials and surfaces, but one thing has stumped me from the beginning, and it's the character's glowing eyes inside the helmet, the problem is that it's his actual eyes that are glowing, and not just a light floating in a pitch black helmet.

For reference, here's some picture i found on google:


the first is rather small, but you should be able to see that his eyes are bright orange and glowing.
A few idea were making some sort of mask that covers my upper face under the helmet, or just getting some orange contacts and settling for those

Does anybody here have any ideas other than replacing my eyes with glowing orange ping pong balls, or should I just go with the contacts?


Once I start, I'll be posting a WIP Thread
Any comments, suggestions or advice on any other parts of the costume are always appreciated.

P.S. Yep, I plan on being able to control the arm

If you really want the actual eyes to be orange, maybe you should just go with contacts. If you don't mind attaching the eyes, to your helmet, then I guess you could make eyes with LEDs and use a "see through" black fabric arround them for you to see.

I just happened to have seen this video a few weeks ago and I suspect the particular helmet design of this character would lend itself incredibly well to the trick he uses. All you'd have to do is source the orange version of what he uses.

And, BTW, that looks awesome. I want a character with glowing eyes so I can do that.
