My custom 3D-artist, resin cast RE4 Leon S. Kennedy's new wig! I always wanted to make a wig for him that was more accurate and closer in color as well, to the OG-Resident Evil 4, Leon's hair. I was using a handmade soft cap wig I made for another Leon I was working on, many years ago, as a partial wig for him. I dissected the wig, and made it as thin I was able to, without losing hair. Sadly, due to the nature of (my crappy hand) sewn wefts, that was too thick for a 1:6 action figure head sculpt. However, I never lost hope that I would eventually make a better looking, not too thick of a wig. I am not a fan, and it doesn't look realistic, I feel like, having so much thick hair on a tiny head. So that was always a goal of mine, making a wig for him that wasn't too bulky.
I did attempt to make a few glued-hard-cap wigs in the past, but I wasn't happy with the bulk, nor the color of the hair. I did an amazing job on this one, the first time making it not too thick and making the part-line the cleanest I've ever done! Sadly, I f-ed it up really good already! I made the left side a bit too thin, in my attempts to keep him from having too much bulk. I stained the hair, because it's too light, but I didn't stain the part I added, so it kind of stands out like a sore thumb now. I'll have to stain that a bit further, as well as the rest of the hair, because now it is too light. Leon's hair in the OG RE4 game is a lot ashier in color, a lot less blond and learning toward "dirty-blond," which is my main goal for this wig's final coloring -- plus obvious darker roots, which don't really come through in these.
I am happy with how this hair is looking so far, however, so I will try to fix the things that need fixing, and hope it looks better next time. (:
