~lisu-c and I have been huge fans of *oh8 's work and skullgirls that when we met him at Fanime we worked our butts off to get Filia ready for Anime EXPO.

The wig was an interesting project. Rofltrain grabbed a craft foam helmet from Michael's and we poked wire through it to make the base for Samson. After that he used expanding foam to get the correct shape ontop of the wire. The spikes were carved out of expanding foam as well and attached later. Once dry he spray painted the entire thing black and I got to work.

I got 4 cheapo extension from Sally's and glued each bit on carefully with a mix of mostly elmer's glue and a bit of water. I destroyed an old bob cut wig and used the top for the head and the under part as the back of Samson's head. His teeth are craft foam and his eyes are lenses ~lisu-c popped out of his Simon glasses and painted yellow. Next time I want to find a better way to attach the wig fibers because it looked kinda icky and I want to make Samson's tentacles detachable for easy transport.
