Even more repetitive photos of my Leon S. Kennedy (DIM MNM, OG-RE4) head sculpt, with his newly restyled wig. I also stained it a bit, to be a closer match to his hair color in the game. Which, I always believed to be (or aiming to be) a dirty blond (dyed, probably, since Leon is supposed to have auburn or dark brown hair, from what I read and based on OG-RE2 game). I want it to be closer to the Hi-res promo or key art from the OG-RE4 game, rather than the in-game-model, because I feel that's what Capcom wanted his hair color to be, and not the actual in game model(s) hair color. I might be wrong, but that's what I want for my own customized Leon doll (and action figures) regardless.
I trimmed and styled the bangs a little, but I feel they are still a bit too full/bulky, to fully sit/fall as they are supposed to. They might still be a bit too long as well, but I rather err on the side of caution. Because I suck at wig-making and even more at styling doll hair/wigs! DX
I am happy with the way the wig is turning out. I wasn't able to darken the air as much as I would have wanted, nor the roots. I wanted those to be a touch darker. I used heavily watered-down acrylic paint for the staining. When I made his stretchy-cap-wig, I stained the hair with acrylic paint and isopropyl alcohol, but I am scared of using alcohol on a glued-together wig. Not only is the cap all glue, the hair is also glued together. I don't want to end up with a mess. Sadly, it seems the heat resisting hair I got to add wefts to this, and to make his new wig (eventually!), doesn't take color well. It's probably not obvious, because most of the front hair/bangs is made from wefts left from the hair my bff gifted me to make my 1:6 Leon's partial wig.
I feel the proportions of his face and wig look more accurate on the 1st photo, that's why I am sharing that, despite how terribly pixelated and out of focus it is. The others are a bunch of repetitive ones; I just couldn't pick which ones I liked best. They all have lens distortion, but some are more color accurate, since I didn't have too many neon-colored gloves and was pointing the desk lamp straight at his face! So, I'm sharing all! lol!
