y'know I think the only valid version of a design for a faceless character (ones that aren't people's OC's, you can do whatever you want) removing their helmet or mask etc. is to have something real fucked up going on in a cool way under there.
like, there's no head, it's grotesque in a monster-y way, or something. I can forgive it so long as it's not just some guy under there tbh
had a real life "and everybody clapped" moment and im still reeling. spent the rest of the ride comparing butterfly pics with the old lady next to me trying to identify it
