Xianghua from Soul Calibur IV
Completed July/August 2008


I'm honestly not a huge fan of fighting games but Xianghua's new outfit was just way too pretty. I loved the colors and really wanted to experiment with airbrushing. I did play around with her enough to get a feel of the character in the game.

All the white fabric is the wrong side of what I think I remember was a bridal jacquard with a floral weave. I did all the coloring myself then with an airbrush for her gradients. The purple lace edging also had to be dyed.

I love this wig! A lot of people ask if its my real hair :) The outfit is also incredibly comfortable. I wore it to the 2009 Cherry Blossom Festival in D.C. with no problems, and it fit in beautifully with the cherry blossoms!
