Foamcraft. You'll need an EVA foam tile and a helmet template. Ontop of that for vision I'd get green tint face shield and perforated white window tint and use the eye to see out of. Green tint face shields tend to run a dark green/brown hue like titans eyes in most shots so that'd work for the iris color. Though the original suit had eyeholes under the monoeye, but that'd be limiting on the con floor. Besides that you need all the stuff to actually paint after the fact. So plastidip or other rubberizer sprays so the paint doesn't melt the foam. (accelorant from spraypaint cans melts foam) Any non enamel black spray paint should do, I'd use testors extreme laquor gold if you can find it. Then just a spray primer and semi-gloss clear coat for the very end. And a hot glue gun and x-acto knife if you don't have one already. Do some burner helmet templates first too so you get used to the craft since titans helmet shape is weird, the experience will help.
Hey uh people who make their own stuff for Cosplay, how would you make this guy's head

I got the rest of the suit on lockdown, I just need to do the head
#honestly titan would be a good first helmet to do for anyone#the only template i can find close to that shape is 4$ though#As much as I love my 3D printed helmets doing foamwork is SO much cheaper and is what I usually recommend to do#also you don't need contact cement like most other foamcrafters use hot glue works fine as long as you take it slow.#Usually this time of year I glue then hold under a fan or AC unit to let the hotglue expand while it cools to make sure it bonds well.
