Fire Nation Suki Wig.

Published:

Description

A current progress picture, for once! I am in the process of working on Fire Nation Suki [and Fire Nation Sokka, for CaptainMiles] to be worn at Otakon next month. This is not the finished Suki wig, although it is fairly close: All that remains to be done is stabilizing the topknot with some wiring and adding the flame detailing to the cuff. I chose a gorgeous waist-length blend of mahogany, auburn, and deep red for my base wig [I didn't need the length so much as it was the only wig I could find in the hue I was gunning for], and I couldn't be happier! Most people do Suki with plain brown hair, but it really does have a reddish tint to it, especially obvious when she's in the same frame as Sokka, who has rather generic dark brown hair. At any rate, looking forward to sharing more progress pictures as I prepare for Otakon!

Please no critique/criticism. I'd like to keep this gallery happy! <3

I just asked you about this wig on your C.c photo before I read to 'look here for progress notes' lol *stupid*

But I completely agree with the reddish tint to the wig. I've been pulling my hair out trying to find the perfect wig for Suki because I was looking for something with that reddish tint as well, and I am all too lost lol.

I do have a question however, was this one two-tone wig that you worked with? Or two different tones that you blended together?

I have such little experience with styling wigs so I am impressed with this beautiful job you did :D
