All those thinner lines, that was Zone of the Enders: the 2nd Runner inspired. I really like the Z.O.E look and felt it make it more digitally. So yeah....

Got my wig in today, but it was a lot short than the picture so I have no room for styling. So gonna have to order a new one and yeah. Big bummer. :(
 
that is looking VERY well done! Are you gonna make urself an Index too?
I was thinking about it, but then I realized I'm kind of too busy with having to make two full Reach suits for PAX, which is like a month and a half away.... D: fml
 
Very nice! I love the shades of colors and shadows yours has, it gives it so much more depth. And the glitter is a really nice touch!

Haha, I bought the same exact shoes for my Cortana 3.0 a few months back, 'cept mine have ankle straps, and blue LEDs inside, so they'll light up when I walk! :D I had the same idea of the floating illusion as well. ;)
 
Replacement wig came in!! It's so silky soft and long!! Doesn't even tangle at this length!!
(Ignore me wearing half of my undersuit... I was in the middle of figuring out where to put the thigh pieces' strapping when the DHL man came to the door... lol That was awkward trying to explain to him why I was wearing this as well as a respirator mask lol. Then I just invited him in to see my armor build and stuff. He was impressed lololol. And cause I was too lazy to take off my undersuit but too excited to style my wig, yeah... lol)

omg it PAINED me to cut that long wig!! TT^TT I seriously cried and died a little on the inside.... Out of ALL the long wigs I have ever owned or worn, this is the ONLY one to not tangle in any way and brushed out soooo easily and nicely without tearing or knotting. TT^TT

I totally want to buy another one just cause, just cause it was SO awesome before.

And thanks!
 
Thanks guys!


Also when I say I'm done the wig, I really meant I was done cutting and styling it... lol. I took it outside to spray paint it a bit so it would match the body suit a bit more. Yeah... lol

You spray painted it?! Isn't the paint going to make the wig's hair stick together?
 
That wig looks perfect! You styled it really nice. I really like how you actually got the back, especially the lower back. I don't think I've seen too many people include that area of the hair style. I do prefer the H:CE Cortana hair over the H2/3 style. I have actually thought about getting my hair cut like that, but I would miss my long hair. :(

Whenever I get around to making my Cortana costume, the wig is going to be my biggest issue. Halloween is the only time where I know I will be able to find a wig around me unless I order one. On top of that, I have NO experience with working with wigs. I'm afraid I'll screw it up! D: Maybe I'll just send it to you and you can cut it for me. XD I'll do all the artsy stuff to it afterwards. :p haha
 
lol the back was actually a bit of a fluke... but sure, we'll go with "I totally meant to do it that way cause I'm f***ing pro like that". XD lololol Overall, I'm quite happy with it. :3

I've been styling wigs for quite a while, and I also do wig commissions.... So yeah... lol Could do that, send it to me and I can style it. Though I only work with high quailty wigs so if we did go that route, might be best if I ordered it (or at least send you a link to one I suggest).
 
Hyo, you have definitely raised the bar for Cortana builds. Suits like this really show off your costuming experience. Thanks for sharing your skills.
