Artist's Comments

***I AM NO LONGER TAKING WIG COMMISSIONS, SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE***

Please see the info in this comment section about the wig. The threads I link to and other info should answer most of the questions you might have.


Until they get a "wig" category, this is going in costumes


Uhhhh. Commission. Did the entire thing in 4.5 days, spiked the whole thing in 2. Wanted to cry. The end.

Started out as two Black-root Red-tipped Punky XLs from Cosworx.com, one was ripped apart and sewn into the other, then spiked. There's more wig fiber in this thing than I want to admit. Augh. Death. Styled with lots of Got2B:Glued Blasting Freezing spray and hair glue.


Personally I like the brighter red wigs and hand coloring the roots, because Axel has BRIGHT RED HAIR and I feel that this color is too dark, but I give my customers a choice of what they prefer.

Edit: Since I get A LOT of questions about how to make a wig and what not, here are some links:

The Base Wig: [link];page=1

The New Look PUNKY (a PUNKY XL works well too, just chop the excess). In either RED, or 1B/RED TL (black roots with red tips, which is what I used in this particular commission).

If you get just plain RED, you'll want to color the roots with black sharpie.



Axel Compilation thread on cosplay.com: [link]

This thread has compiled the most helpful threads about how to style an Axel wig (with lots of input from me).

Unfortunately I won't be answering many questions about how to style an Axel wig because I'm going to be very busy with graduate school, so I hope this helps!

This is amazing, one of the best Axel wigs I've seen, despite the color being a tad dark.

Wow, this is super-good. I love that it isn't a super solid red, because the different tones make it look so much more natural/realistic.

Your effort was not in vain. Had I been an Axel cosplayer with this wig, I would be a very proud one.

Wow, this is 'effing amazing! You got the shape right and everything. The red could be brought down a little farther on the roots, especially in the front, but overall, this is some excellent work!

I didn't really have control over the gradient, as that was how the wig came originally. The base wig was longer than what I had originally wanted, but the website was out of the shorter length wigs and gave me the longer ones with no extra charge and I NEEDED them right away @_@ I'm not sure if the shorter one would have had a shorter gradient, though. So yeah, personally I wish there was a little more bright red on it, but :\ Work with what you got.
:iconmagneticjade:
Yeah, the different tones are nice, but as I've mentioned to others, wish there was a little more brighter red in it x.x;; Mostly because Axel does have pretty vibrant hair.

Thanks ^_^ I appreciate it~
:iconmagneticjade:
LoL thank you! ^____^
:iconmagneticjade:
Thanks~

Yeah, I wish the color was brighter :\ But hopefully in good light it will be fine ^_^
:iconmagneticjade:
Thanks for your comment, by the way XD;;
