DIY Superhero Disguises

Make Your Own Real-Life Rorschach Mask That Actually Shifts

As a big fan of the graphic novel and movie Watchmen, I've always been fascinated with Rorschach's shifting mask, but now the mystery is somewhat dispelled with this real-life Rorschach mask. In the comic, the mask is made using a special fabric that actually doesn't exist in real life. However, this featured mask proves the concept false as apparently, only a t-shirt and some thermochromatic paint were needed to recreate it.

Created by YouTube user guinness0507, this real-life rorschach mask can actually shift just like the fictional one. The patterns change based on shifts in temperature. Watch the featured video to create your own.
