Greetings to my fellow physicians,

I'd love to share my progress on a new redesign of my plague doctor mask I've been working on.
The new redesign features many electronic components and additions, including microphone and speaker for voice changer, multiple camera system for expanded field of vision which will feed into a microdisplay in the right lens.

AOne of the functional features I have currently is a custom made PCB LED ring and eye tracking for the effect of there being tiny white pupils staring at you and following you as you move, since they respond to where you physically look!

Ik its the generic costume mask from spirit halloween but yall gotta admit its kinda cool.

Idk why I'm even posting this lol

yes its a tf2 themed character, hes still in the works, i also have a female plague doctor character i should show off too

i am on a little adventure to acquire this mask mainly for cosplaying and everyday use. ever since i saw this mask from Splatoon 3 (refer to image 3) i fell in love with, but for the love of God i cannot find the perfect plague doctor mask for base, at this point i'd rather commission someone who specializes in leatherwork with decent quality. i am not expecting the highest quality, but that's why i am on a budget. it might take years to get my dream mask, and i'm willing to wait.

to explain my vision, here are the two photos i poorly edited using photoshop and csp (image 1). it has barely any buttons unlike most and has no holes or stitches at the bottom as explained in my notes (refer to image 2), or ugly seams. i also put two more extra to the top instead of the typical one in the middle which i dislike so much.

so... yeah, that's about it. if you know anybody with fairly a friendly budget (or if you're a craftsman yourself), let me know. thanks in advance.
