Papercraft Self Portraits

The Eric Testroete Halloween Costume is Prismatically Big-Headed

There is nothing scarier than wearing a mask of yourself for Halloween. Ok, the Eric Testroete Halloween Costume is not scary, but I was just contemplating the notion because I was inspired by this unique and highly creative papercraft self portrait.

As a 3D artist, it seems that the Eric Testroete Halloween costume was inspired by the big-head mode common in videogames. With the help of Bert Simons and Haywan Chiu, Eric Testroete probably had one of the best costume ideas this year.
