Finally got my HT Wonder Woman for Christmas and just tried some poses. Unfortunately the more I futz the hair, the worse it looks
I remember seeing some tips on this thread months ago but don't really feel like rooting through the past few hundred pages! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also has anyone else had issues with the left knee? Mine seems to have less flexibility than the right one.
Here’s my tips
Now normally what I use for her hair is called Water Wax . Problem is it’s not always available , but it is fairly cheap..only around $5.00 plus shipping .
The trick is it’s all in the execution. As an artist I try to pay attention to the slightest detail possible. Researching in this case WW’s film hair. I’ve looked at high resolution stills from both B v S and WW now with the HD blu rays I can pause the video in certain spots and see how they did her hair in that moment. For ex: No Man’s land as I depicted in that previous shot that when she was deflecting the bullets off the shield , her hair was completely hanging over with just a hint of her face at first accenting her long fringes
1. First I completely washed her hair out with shampoo with conditioner , getting rid of any product that HT used
Good YouTube videos on this technique on YouTube..just search “ styling 1/6 rooted hair
2. Lightly took a toothbrush. Not hair, and gently combed her hair ever so slightly
3. While her hair was still wet, I took some wax, rubbed it between my fingers and applied it on her hair .
A. Starting from the top backside of her head. Rubbed very lightly and I do me lightly, the back of her head smoothing out any back tangles or loose hairs, water wax keeps the hair slick but at the same time, keeps the balance of the hair soft and not abrasive while still keeping it looking healthy and natural
B. my execution changes.
C. After applying some extremely small amount of water wax, still rubbing against her locks, but this time I use my fingers and proceed to twist or tangle the bottom fringes or locks that hit her back and shoulders, how little or lot will be your judgement call, this eliminates IMO the frilly and perm that people complain about.
D. Again this is strictly your judgement call, but what I do to the bottom locks is I try to tangle the edges into the Sharp curls with my fingers
E. Again using the same technique as the back with her front curls and fringes with the water wax and tangling method as before up to about the point of her forehead.
What I did again taking a small amount of wax in my fingers and rubbing it on her bangs but now in doing so, I also pull her bangs back so it looks like the wind is rubbing against the front bangs . What you will see happening is that this technique raises the bangs a little above her forehead ever slightly exposing her forehead above the tiara
Ex.. minus the wind blowing against her four head
You could see the bangs on both sides are slightly raised and curved , the wax creates this look. What you want to have is still keep the initial curl HT did on her sculpt but make it more raised and slicked so you get that side ways shape of a half U form that Gal has as WW IMO
Almost forgot, as for the side curls around her face , I just took two fingers , rubbed a bit of wax and just slightly smoothed the edges so you get a wave like shape. At the same time, tucking and gently pulling her side curls away from the face
I could just imagine Cavill in the Reeve suit
I think I might pick up a cheap doll to practise on before I try and restyle my WW.
