Ersatz | Gas mask (Patreon)

Needed a gas mask model before I moved onto other scenes, so...

Flavour text:
The 'Lotus Root' is a new model of gas mask integrated with an artificial symbiotic eukaryote that, when exposed to exhaled CO2, is capable of metabolising all manner of pulmonary irritants: bertholite, phosgene, sulfur mustard, just to name a few. Drawbacks include molding of unused masks and, rarely, the fusing of skin.

Initial render:

I thought this was promising, but presently uninteresting, so I did a drawover:
This is when I came up with the lore of this mask type. Masks fusing to skin was always a thing in Ersatz, but now there's a clearer demonstration of how exactly that happens.
