There’s always the possibility that the massively overblown lighting at this show has impacted the appearance of the hair.
If the material is anything like my own hair then it can appear anywhere from blonde to black depending on the light and degree of damp/grease. And we shall not speak of the pair of grey hairs emerging from my sideburns.
Thorin should have blondish grey highlights at the front of his hair while the top, back and braids are darker brown.
I only found one online reference that looks anywhere near as bright as InArt have done the hair though
Yep. Far as I know - bein' my fav ME character, very dark brunette with silver/blonde streaks. Most of the time looks black on camera with silver streaks. I figure the outdoor/sunlight shots aren't too color graded so they are accurate.
All this time never knew Thorin had some sort of man purse for a while, strapped to the shield. I'd have to go digging at cosplayer sights to get a better look. It must get ditched at some point along with the hair clips/beads that were in back.
Finally InArt seems to be right about the cloak color, which all this time I thought was a dark gray or blue - but I was thinking of the DOS opening. Huh. Learn something when you start picking at costume details.
So I assume with the axe and all, InArt is using AUJ as the reference. And possibly hair color and other details got changed up as filming went along.
Sure looks olive green here. Huh. That's awfully ELVISH
. Man, these shots remind me of how fascinated I was by Thorin's armor. Still give ASMUS major kudos for that, I was actually tapping my first Thorin to see if they had used metal and it still looks pristine - no chips or peeling.
Anyway tho hope this gets produced, maybe the hair thing IS accurate with really strong lighting, there's plenty of reference material even from behind the scenes. I'll get two, budget be *&^%.
The fur is growing on me, tho I think InArt can do better - not real fur, but there's all kinds of grades of fake fur.
With ASMUS' Thranduil coming up, thankfully there's always ramen noodles and sponging on the fam for leftovers. Holidays are a great time to buy figs.
