Customizing mecha pilot

As the title may of tipped you off I'm doing an updated Red Laser custom. I wanted to stick with original characters but I really got a kick out of the Red Shadow designs and thought that the Red Laser character, obscure as he is, needed a 25th Anniv overhaul. His obscurity is the whole reason I'm doing him.
However... it's my opinion that the black stripe with two little eyes is pretty outdated if not downright silly. The rest of the Red Shadow agents have full-shield facemasks like Cobra Commander. But that's usually what distinquishes RL from the rest of his troops, he has eyes. So... eyes or no eyes? If eyes, what style? Here's a pic of the finished figure. Feel free to photoshop different styles of eye designs on his facemask. Personally I like the plain metallic red gloss faceplate. But I can paint just about anything on there for eyes. Go wild! And yes I know someone is going to do a 'charging mah lazers!' meme-face on him because he's begging for that pun, heh. |

ME? Photoshop... I can barely use a camera or paintbrush. The look that MS gave you over @ JC, but swap the red mask for black with red (glowing or reflective paint) eyes.

how about leaving the faceplate completely red and adding pair of black goggles with white lenses. that is a cool updated look that maintains the original feature.
