Custom hair advice please
« on: June 12, 2022, 03:53:45 PM »
I recently bought two boy blanks to create my next two customs (just my 3rd and 4th custom ever :biggrin:).
One will be my persona, seen below.  I had a hard time picking his hair.  I would call it bright green, but looking at available colors online, I went with Surprise yellow, described as a neon yellow.  Do you guys think Surprise is a good match, though I wouldn’t call Surprise’s hair green?

Yes, I think it's a good match :) Even in your sig image, his hair is more yellow than his body, so I think it should match just fine.

Btw, where did you buy your blanks from? I was looking around and couldn't find any at the sites that usually sell them.

Yeah, I'd say that the Surprise yellow/green is probably a good color for him! There's not a lot of green options it seems when it comes to the nylon hair scene, unfortunately! It may take some comparison/testing until you find one you like! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Blackcurtains, I got a couple blanks that had orange hair a few weeks ago from Clipper's Sail.  One I will rehair for Gator.  My other custom I will attempt is my big brother Claude, who has red hair with an orange stripe.  So the orange the blank has is a perfect shade, and I wil "attempt" to dye the rest of his hair red.

I would say Surprise's hair is chartreuse, which is yellow-green, so I think that will be perfect for your persona as depicted in your siggy pic!
Thanks to Shimmlight for the new avatar image  :biggrin:
