I modified my OG Resident Evil 4, 1:6 Leon S. Kennedy 3D artist, resin cast head sculpt. I had already modified his face throughout his time with me (2020). I did a lot of subtractive mods, but they were really minimal considering how small this head sculpt is (takin into consideration he is on the larger side of 1:6 action figure head sculps. More so Japanese character-based heads, that tend to be proportionately a lot more idealized than "average/realistic" head proportions, for any other reference material).

Long story longer, I modified his eyes once again. I had done so last year, and earlier this year once again. I feel I could have soften the mods a bit further, but I wanted to see if I was going in the right direction. I feel like I am. So, I am happy and will leave him like this for a while. There's a lot of room for improvement for sure. I am not a traditional sculptor, I did take 3D courses while getting one of my majors, but I haven't done anything with it since I graduated back in 2008. DX

I'm done with my current 1:6 Leon S. Kennedy's repaint. It's not as clean as I would have liked. But my old-lady-hands are certainly shakier than ever before. Lol! DX

I will be trying to make him a new partial wig, like the lighter version here. I got a lot of blonde shades of doll-wig-hair specifically for my Leons' wigs (the two head sculpts that can wear a wig). So, I can try to get a closer coloring, based on OG Residen Evil 4 Leon's hair. I feel like the lighter wig is a better shape and style, than the darker brown one. Which has been his default, and I handmade the wefts on. So, it's darker bulkier than I would like. I made that for another version of him, that was a modded HT head sculpt, I was gifted. I don't recall where it is now (somewhere in my stash of floating 1:6 head sculpts!), but I was grateful I was gifted anything ever, by a stranger on the internet. Lol! Sounds weird, but I was really grateful...>__>;;

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.

More WIP photos of my DIM MNM OG-RE4 Leon (Scott Kennedy), head sculpt. I was able to bevel his eyes a little bit further, not as close of a shave, as I would have liked, but good enough for now.

I also fixed his brows oncea again, as I always get those so wrong. I fixed his upper lip shape a bit as well. I also got that so off, but I feel that's the beauty of being able to paint your own dolls. You get to decide when to stop, and when to continue working on them. (:

I need to darken the wig as well and shorten the bangs. I also always leave those too long. Most of the time on purpose, because I feel it's easier to shorten them if they are too long, than the other way around. More so with a wig/doll-hair, that won't grow longer over time. That's pretty much it, once you've cut it. Unless of course, you redo the whole thing.
