>>8501961
That was the best they could come up with?

>>8501961

what even?

>>8501942
I like how they incorporated the hair into the hat design.
>>8501943
That's pretty damn amazing but nitpicking that hairline. Something seems off about it.
>>8501946
loving the colors and styling, the hairline looks really nice imo
>>8501949
Very elegant. Love the color. only nitpick would be how the gold crown part looks on the bun portion. It looks a little sloppy to me unless it's just the photo/angle
>>8501951
I really like this. I love how they emulated the feathers as well as the construction. She could have done away with the tendrils hanging down in front and back but overall, it's pretty awesome
>>8501955
this is super cute!
>>8501959
This is actually neat in a costruction aspect.
>>8501960
Kek at the middle face.
>>8501961
most lackluster imo

>>8501943
>>8501951
Artflower had nice construction throughout Iron Wig, but I think CBC actually kept trying to test their limits and experiment with things. A lot of Artflower's nice pieces came down to "make something out of wig fibers and pop it onto a styled wig" which is nice (like the tiny hat wig in OP is gorgeous and must have taken so much precision to assemble), but CBC presented something different in "feel" each time.
>and I'll be honest, they did keep finding/making great outfits to photograph their wigs with, which helps a lot in presentation

On their wigs this round:
>The fashion wig is my favourite, possibly in the entire competition. I'm a sucker for the retro-futuristic scifi feel, and it's executed really well here, with the lights and fins and *beautiful* blue blending along the hairline (which does look weird, but maybe they were going for a bulbous alien look?)
>Pidgeot wig is fucking incredible, and the sculpting on the feathers looks insane
>And ...Sokka is Sokka


Congratulations on the win, CBC (since I know at least one of you lurks this board) - it's well-deserved.

>>8501951
I think this is one of my favorite things to come out of IronWigs. Really, really love the feathers and overall design.

>>8501951

>>8501946
Impressed by the hairline and cleanliness but this is just the default style every visual kei kid does everyday.

Can confirm because I was a vk kid, kek.

>>8501961
What the.... I'm still learning how to spike wigs and even I can probably do something like this without a tutorial.

It's a shame. Artflower is definitely the most talented, but Cowbutt had an army of tumblr followers behind her for votes. Oh well. All of these things are popularity contests anyway.

>>8502981
The contest is judged by Arda staff. There's a popular vote but it's just for an extra gift certificate, not winning the whole contest.

>>8501942
Thank you OP for this thread
I don't cosplay or do anything related to wig styling, but the Arda wig contest threads and updates are my favourite thing about cgl.

>>8502981
>being this salty
Like the other anon mentioned, the popular vote doesn't determine who stays or goes. Besides, Misch.Axel has been the one who's been winning them so your comment makes no sense.

>>8501949
Am I the only one who doesn't think this looks like the pokemon at all?

>>8501959
I've thought I'll never see a good JunJun wig in my life.

>>8508258
no. this wig is so poorly made concerning the pokemon it is based on. one wouldn't guess it would be this pokemon so I would give it zero points

>>8508269
you think this one is great? I think the hairline looks sloopy and unrealistic and the construction is way too high and all of the proportion look so off

>>8508633
she coupd have done better but she had not enough time. just be fair

Not going to be that anon that calls selfpost, but some of these replies reek of Artflower...

>>8501973
Seriously? Ugh

>>8511085
Jealous much?

>>8501951
CBC certainly deserved to win. Those feathers are amazing! I really enjoy the dreads at the sides too. Lots of cool textures in this.

>>8501946
>>8501955
>>8501961
Such a disappointment. I got hyped seeing their fashion wig (i think it's the best one in the fashion category imo), but it got worse the more I scrolled. The pumpkaboo wig is just a styled orange wig with a black hat thing on it that just so happens to be made of wig fibers. It just looks weird and not very elegant. That Naruto wig is just...a lazy entry. Not a bad wig, but bad for a contest, especially when they're going up against the other two. They could have done a tutorial on how they did the braids in their fashion wig or something else.

>>8509504
Probably not Artflower (she's very nice IRL) but she has a lot of whiteknights. She's currently winning the audience poll right now by a landslide.

>>8501946
def. my favourite for the fashion wigs.

>>8502024
if the hairline looks off it is probablyl just because they didn't bother making it a lace front, which I understand because shit is time consuming.

>>8511239
It's also a weird choice for a "spiking" tutorial since it's not really spiked?

>>8501961
WTF is this lame shit?

Before this thread falls off, I figured I should ask here. How do you enter in this contest? I'm not the greatest at wigmaking, but I think I could beat out something like >>8501961 no problem.

>>8518478
Everybody who knows how to use his hands could beat out this.

But to answer I think there is simply an application time.

>>8518548
>>8518478
Yes, they take applications at the end of the year and then pick the contestants based on what wig photos you submit. Based on who stayed in the contest this year, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of Europeans again.

>>8508258
Nope. It's a nice wig, but I would never guess it was supposed to be Azelf.
Color is off, the crown/bump needed to be higher on the head, and they needed something more on the sides to emulate the shape. The braids also don't look like the tails.

It's a nice wig, but it looks more like something from fire emblem.

>>8501961
>Easily the worst wig in the entire competition
>Winning the audience poll
What.

>>8522599

>worst wig in the entire competition
>clearly third place loser
>gained 21 votes today alone all in the span of a couple hours

dude's trying to get a consolation prize out of that gift certificate.

some people have enough friends and relatives without shame to fuck things up for everyone else.

>>8522795

some people also have enough extra email accounts
