Ok everyone!! The Force Awakens is finally here and it's time to get down to business!! I saw the movie premiere weekend and completely fell in love with out new villain. He has such an amazing beginning and we are only going to see him grow from here! I am attending my local con IN ONLY ONE AND A HALF MONTHS. I have decided to take it upon myself to work my freaking butt off and do my absolute best to get a well made, accurate cosplay of him done by that time. (I am a girl, but I'm not planning on making any changes to his look. I feel it is very gender neutral already and both a guy or a girl would look amazing in his original design.) The garment itself I've already begun planning, but I am completely lost at how to do his mask. I've yet to make a mask for any cosplay and I honestly don't know how to start. It's even harder because I have absolutely zero tutorials to start with or at least get inspiration from, because the movie has only been out for a grand total of 3 days. I know I can buy one, but I do not like buying completed pieces for my cosplays. It makes me feel like a fraud. Any help or guidance in at least the first step I should take would be GREATLY appreciated!!
