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.

More of my 3D-Artist resin cast 1:6 scale Leon Scott Kennedy head sculpt. I decided to "enhance" the eye area a bit further. I have extremely shaky hands, even with all the techniques that are helpful to keep hands steady when painting miniatures. My hands still shake. I can't do cleaner, sharper lines, as much as I am frustated. There's pretty much sh1t I can do about it. However, I am happier with him now. I am always complaining that his facial featuers are not as accurate, and one of the main reasons for that is because I suck at painting miniatures, but also because I am very picky when it's about accuracy of characters I love. HT version of OG RE4 Leon was so off, i didn't even considered ever owning him. Later, once he was completely sold out everywhere, I did regret it a bit. Now, I kind of don't. He's not accurate, doesn't even seem like they tried it to be.

This head is a beautiful sculpt, but not accurate and a lot of the featues are simplified so much, that it makes me wonder which original sources the aritst was referencing when 3D modeling the head.

Regardless, I am much happier with him now, that I added more detail to his eyes, and made the shape more OG RE4 Leon-esque. He has a very unique eye shape that just wasn't sculpted right. So, me, with my crappy old-person hands, have to try a thousand times harder, just to get the lines around the eye and the shading in tiny places in the eye, to look not as sloppy as I can manage, due to my shaky hands.

The last repetitive extreme close ups were taken with my older-than-dust cellphone's camera, because it takes photos that look more accurate lighting and color wise. My newer cell's makes things look extremely pixelated and "glam" as my bff calls, them, like it makes him seem like he's wearing mascara, which is not what he looks like IRL, nor do I want him to look that way. Simply because it's not accurate, and accuracy is more important to me than anything and everything else. When it comes to characters I love and want to own figures of.
