Introducing Krysa (and what I've learned wigging a head)

I've been working on Krysa for a while now, and still feel like I have a ways to go before she's really finished. She's a big part of the House of Seasons story line, and I'll do a more detailed write up on her when she's done and I make a full gallery for her.  But a little background.  She's Violet Rose's Roommate and oldest friend, not a witch or magic user of any sort, but possibly one of the most dangerous and deadly characters in the House of Seasons story line.  

​Even though there's a ways to go on the figure, I couldn't help but include her in the Christmas photo shoot, and immediately after, she was the first figure I tried my hand at wigging her head from scratch. Which I learned is kind of a pain in the ass.

Actually wigging the head isn't the worst part. I used lines of contact glue to basically make glue wefts on the hair, that I could cut into thin strands. The hard part was taming the hair once I finished. I used a decent synthetic, not just the cheapest garbage I could find, so I thought it'd behave more like real hair. But getting it to hold a shape and lay reasonably flat took a ton of hairspray, watered down elmers glue, and heat. After finally getting it to reasonably do what I wanted, I gave it a cut with a pair of cuticle scissors. 

I learned a lot doing it, and I definitely plan to use a different hair next time, but I'm still really happy with the result. And since I really like how the figure is coming along, I thought I'd share a few pics.

I'd let you do my hair anytime sir :-)

She looks amazing, and if this is unfinished then I can only imagine how awesome she will be when done!

Trust me, you so don't want that. Super slow, and every once in a while I'd just pull out chunks where it was too thick. And I felt good knowing I could glue in new chunks if I screwed up. Yeah, I'm the last one you want cutting real hair.

And thank you! I have lots of details and accessories I'm working on, but I feel like I have a solid base now. Only gets cooler from here.
