# muerteart REUSING OLD BOARDS AGAIN WOO. So, before I bother recoloring the CI, would this style even be desired ? Here's an example of some color combos I was thinking, and the plain version (which I don't think will be submitted but who knows). Also, two more special colors that take more time but I want to do some more "fun" coloration's from time to time. But like... Are people even interested in more rockabilly hair ?

Old bangs/tail board, feel free to comment on this as well if desired These items are located in my CW Shop. I've gone through all Delish and coupon wigs, as well as my entire wardrobe and select words in the "all items" option... But not the whole wardrobe because wow that's a lot. If you play around with these and find a wig not listed that works with either (or both) the bangs and tail, please feel free to let me know ! This is to see if there is interest in a particular recolor (as well as letting you know what these go with currently). Once a specific item has enough people interested (say, eight ?) in a specific color, I will color match the item and ping you to see if you're still interested (interest does not mean slot, it just means I will ping you first once a recolor is done). You're free to specify an item or just say "interested in all" and I'll ping you for every recolor. In the future I hope to widen the extensions and bangs (a couple previewed here and here, and need to touch up a couple of extensions). Please also give examples of something you are hoping for (item examples or reference images are A+++ good). First up is the rockabilly bangs. I've provided the base ginger color as an example of how it looks like in a lighter tone:

Redeemable wigs that it may layer with:
Currently looks nice:
Might potentially work: [item=Torn Hair Magazine Page: Jules]
And then there's the tail, also provided in the base orange. This was a redo of an old wig idea that I figured would be fun to play with (thanks for planting that seed, ). Some of the possible colors might not layer the best once it's recolored, this is due to the tail being black and masking over some details. Some of these actually go over the tail, not under, for some added fun. You can also layer this behind the HA to widen usage.
Redeemable wigs that it may layer with: [item=Hazed (beardless) Hair Coupon]
Currently looks nice:
Might potentially work:
Just because I want to color match these because they are pretty: Note: I want to match them individually, not as ombre's... Well, possibly as ombres or similar to how the swallow charm is as well. The pearl color scheme looks like this by itself.
I can also match: Note: Ribbon OR cincher. This also goes for any previewed ribbon not on site.
Items that layer well with the tail and may hide an odd cutoff at the top: *Comes in other colors.

- I like the wig and of the bangs I like the 4th one best the way they are now. I would like the second best if they were a little longer and wispy (or uneven) instead of so blunt (straight) cut. <3

I looooves. Also I think you should show the ponytail with no hair and the bangs with no hair in spoilers maybe so folks can see them separate? :)

I think it's a good idea, bangs and extentions would be of interest to me. Sorry I don't have any ideas though, I'm sorry. Good luck and I'll wait to hear.

Cries forever I need those bangs( my fav) in a bunch of colors. I have a lot of trouble with bang-less/fringe-less hair.

Hi!! I think it would be useful to see the black recolor of the bangs (personally I always use black hair haha) and perhaps layer it on too of a common or popular wig or hairstyle? Personally it would give me a better idea of the versatility of the item ^_^

I REALLY like this idea; these would be super nice to layer with wigs as well as hair salon hair, too! black and dark colours are the easiest to do for sure-- depending on the wig, lighter colours might be alright, too! it's hard to say but darker wigs are always a bundle easier to layer. yadda yadda stuff u probs already know iowhguihwg

ANYHOW! 3 & 4 are my favourites, i'm not big on straight across bangs personally, but i also think the 2nd one might be just a little straight-on, perspective wise. like to nudge the pulled back/back part to the right (HA's left). ...i can diagram that if needed i'm SUPER BAD at wording this kind of thing.

EITHER WAY this is genius i hella want bangs now

@ Eleandra Understandable ! I really love the straighter, but not bluntly straight (this has a slight curve to them and has small chips); but you know I want to do more ! Please feel free to give me an example of what you desire ❤️

@ Reaper @ Angelic Oh my goodness I worded myself wrong ! The ponytail isn't an extension (though that is a wonderful idea, Cathii had done at least one before !); the ponytail is a full wig. Sorry for that confusion ! (But there is a preview of the back colors + just the bangs).

@ Sleeb I hope I can make them all ! :p I really like bangless hairs personally, but when I want them... They're not there or ones I don't want too much. o-o

@ tania I was hoping someone would tell me a wig to try ! XD But I threw some together in the first post (and I was going to wait to do the black recolors to see if interest was even there, but since you asked for it ❤️)

@ Varsna Even this is hard ! Black on here is anything from almost gray to 'I can barely see shape' AHAHAHA BUT I want to see if I can work it, and there is always the salon (I meant to save some of those wigs in black and ginger to play with, oops !) As for bangs; you are so right. I sat there staring at them thinking 'I know they look a bit off, but if I nudge that over it looks too rounded' so I just went with it hoping it wouldn't be too off. But maybe if I extend the other side it will even it out ? I will try to figure out how to make it better before I call it finished !

Old first board being hoarded here for some odd reason I am strange k Both interest + critiquing is perfectly fine ! So before I continue this idea, I was just wondering if people would even be interested in them ? I want to do a ponytail wig + stand-alone bangs. These are just the first ones I've finished. They are for layering purposes for any and all wigs, and if they ever get on site I will be willing to try my damnedest to match specific wigs (if interest is there). Zero CI's are done right now, names are not chosen, and I have no time frame on when they will be done, and chances are black will be the most dominant color done (SAAAD, I want ginger everything; but the black will most likely match ) What do you all think ? Any specific wigs that come to mind that might work well ? Bang ideas you'd love ? Give me all the details and don't be shy ! Also keep in mind that the lines may have to be altered and appear a bit thicker on lighter bangs, as they are by themselves (sadly can't do lineless !) For reference: Ponytail Rockabilly bangs

Ooooh that makes so much more sense to me then haha. I was like...I just don't know how this is gonna layer but its damned cute haha.

The examples in black definitely help a lot to see layering with on-site wigs too! I am very excited for all of these.

My fault for wording it wrong. It could work with a few wigs, but not what I had intended XD

I needa do some with some default/redeemed wigs, too. But not at this very moment, ahaha

I like the idea for sure. It's so hard to color match, so I feel ya! I know people love bangs and there are def some off the face hairs that could be cute with bangs. One thing I will say, that has nothing to do with the cw... lol. Sometimes I find the lips you use for your HA example to be a bit distracting because they're so big and red. (Mostly I think it's teh red color) since the HA is just plain white it stands out. Just a side note tat in the end, doesn't really mean much, just thought I'd say it. xD; But yes, good idear for sure!

Yes ! Except Subeta needs to work for me and let me play with the wig colors =|

I'm sorry :( I just really like the lips, and that HA is always clicked on (lazily never changes them). Glad you like the idea though !

RIGHT there are so many different 'shades' (tones??) of black floating around, it's hard/impossible to match 'em all. ___ the preview you've added works pretty dang well, though! (plus with the hair salon anything is possible) YEAH! it wasn't until i didn't look at the overall hair and just at the bangs that i saw it-- it's really, really subtle and i totally didn't realize it at first.

You'd think of all of them, black would be the easiest to work with and it barely is. Hopefully the wardrobe works with me soon so I can get previews with them up. Well no staring at it too close next time ;)

No worries hun, it's just me being picky. lol. Just one thing I noticed about the first hair, is that it seems like it's not lined up properly, like it's too high on one side and then the center of the hair isn't lined up with the center of the head. It's like a tiny change, but it's enough to be just slightly off. Here's a little edit to let you see what I mean:

Otherwise, still liking the idea- and I agree about the black hair thing. It's amazing how diverse black can be. 8I

(That image isn't working, imageshack is a failing site that hardly ever works; try imgur !) I think I see what you mean about the part being too high and will fix that, but I see it at the 3/4th view. o-o (It is 100% possible that I am seeing it wrong though and not doubting the critique !)

DX it never works for me! Oh yes! I thought you had meant the ponytail for some reason, ahaha. But yeah I was going to try to fix that one up (Varsna also brough it up) by filling out the right (our left) side a touch. Rotating might help some, I'll have to see! I'mma goof.

It's biased I guess. ^.~ No worries! I wasn't sure which one Varsna was talking about lol! But yeah, the top part seems not quite centered to the center of the HAs head (not the center of the circle, but the 3/4 turn center of the head) and since the bangs are the type that would be parted to be centered- might as well make sure they are! lol. I'm sure it'll look great when you're done. =)
