InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Legolas 1:6

Thin isn't what I would call the inart. His head looks like it's covered in spaghetti noodles.

Too much product perhaps

I think the issue that’s the ‘hard to capture’ is the brown base of the hair instead of the platinum blonde that gives him the gold pasta look. The backlighting photo may just be a trick of the light but it tones him down - otherwise, the beholder thinks the portrait is great.

I also notice with my Aragorn that he is absolutely phenomenal in natural light. Other lighting plays strange tricks. Gandalf rocks in any light.

Yeah, but with the amount of product in the Aragorns I have - well, until I washed one of them - unless the hair is actually punched in, not glued, dunno how else they could keep that style without plastering it with product.

Legolas shows up with a bristled hair line or hair coming loose collectors aren't gonna be happy.

Yeah I'm not familiar with the rooting process. I guess Inart glues their hair and doesn't punch it in?

Hopefully this comes in at InArt's new level of Paul and Phoenix Joker.

Far as I can tell with Aragon, there's a gap at the top of the scalp where hair was glued in (probably) with additional hair glued in. Legolas is a *problem* as he has no part to insert fiber.

Then there's more "doll" figures where hair is stitched in. Can't think what punching in would be like at that scale for several thousand? figures however many they plan to make.

Yeah, probably trying to prevent the material from getting "fluffy". I'm sure you could brush it out, but i honestly don't think it looks bad and anyway, when you are looking at in on a shelf and not zoomed in times a million with a camera it will most likely be fine.
