/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

yo, seagulls. i'm trying to put together a nyx cosplay from fire emblem: fates and i'm having a really hard time getting a wig together.

first of all, i'm not quite sure what i should do about the color. her in-game portrait is a somewhat saturated purple, but her battle sprite is more of a black. i'm considering getting a black with purple undertones, but they're super hard to find.

second is the texture. i'm really not sure how to go at those .. spikes? curls? and, if i'm being perfectly honest, i'd reeeeallly rather not bankrupt myself with a 200$ wig here.

any tips?

how the shit do I get a wig to be spiked all over like this??
