Can't wait till tomorrow morning to post this. So I'm posting it now.
RWBY 3.0 wig and headpiece progress. Kinda hard to see but the wig is long and in a low ponytail. Spent 2 hours trying to get it styled to look like a mature Ruby. Think I finally got it.
For those curious I used an Arda Luthien in Onyx with Vermillion wefts.
The cross piece is foam w/foam clay for shape. Then covered in black worbla. Currently priming it with modge podge before I paint it silver and attach more details to it. *hype*
