SOOOOOOooooo! New wig for Eren has arrived and my Armin wig has been colored a shade darker!
Nothing was PARTICULARLY wrong with my other wig for Eren...yet getting it to appear as short as this new one from Arda-Wigs was tricky and it only seemed to work in a few shots. (it'll look better once i'm wearing the whole outfit and have on makeup).
My wig for Armin was too bright. I bought it off of ebay for 17$. The picture was misleading :( (really taken your chances ordering off of ebay). However, it was a great opportunity to try and dyeing a wig. I figured that if it didn't turn out right or got destroyed, i was content with buying a new one at the convention. YET! it came out quite nice! I tired a classic wig dying tutorial that calls for you to use sharpie ink (ONE dark brown colored sharpie), water and rubbing alcohol. You put all into a bottle. Shake it well and leave it somewhere to set for a few days (hours, one night, whatev). And since i've been a lazy bum, i just poured the mixture onto the wig. Little by little. Then i remembered some light brown leather shoe paint i had (from an old Black Butler get up) and thought, why not? So, i got that out and lightly sprayed the rest of the paint onto the wig (while flipping the wig inside out and upside down at times). Also, i was pouring the sharpie mixture onto it as well.
I started to get carried away, so quickly i put the wig under the hose and used some shampoo to rub out part of the wig that got too dark.
Then i let it drip dry over night and and wha-lah! Yet, we'll see once i'm in full gear and makeup.
BELTS ARE OUR TRIGGER!! Mikasa and I stayed up till 3:20 in the morning figuring this system (well, she did) out. we got most of the things sewed down for now. Next is the 3DMG boxes and blades.
