InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

[Chopper Face]

I definitely want a range of colours variance in his hair.
Depending on how damp or greasy it is, or how much light is hitting his hair changes the tone.

This is one of the greatest benefits of rooted hair for me. Sculpted has to have sophisticated paint apps to capture what real hair will do naturally.

This is a subtle example in quite flat lighting where his hair is cleaner than usual, after the fellowship's stint in Lothlorien, that shows the range of tonality.

We've got all sorts of references for Aragorn's hair being light brown all the way to almost black.

Brown to borderline blonde

Black

Beautiful bastard

Plus ... don't forget he spends a good chunk of the movies wet. And hair always looks darker when wet. (Trust me. I have really long hair and I go from Fat Aragorn straight out of the shower to Fat Gandalf about an hour later!)

You guys all blonde haired or something? This is pretty common trait of human hair... I have "black" hair but it looks more dark brown in sunlight.

 

[Mr.Tanker]

Yup. It's a photo white balance issue.
The new convention pic features multiple different colors lights, and a (warmer) top light that is adding highlights to the hair, while the promotional pic features a very even colored studio lighting setup.

Good points all around people. I think it’s mostly a matter of hair product and lighting. I just thought it odd that the rooted color matches to the sculpted version more in the protos than here. I know difference in materials matter but regardless, they should match decently well.

It's so funny to read people's posts about minute changes in hair and skin color ... it's called lighting folks.

After a successful 2 figures I trust inart.
Gandalf inhand speaks for itself and I believe when this comes out it will either be on Parr if not better.

How are people just learning that hair colour varies with the way light hits it?

That hair will look great on Thorin. Thorin, Thranduil, Galadriel. The best hair in Middle Earth.

For the price this had better be epic - tho I never thought that much about Aragorn's hair. I AM hoping they fixed the jacket length and adding the lacing on sleeves and back would be good too. Is this fig imminent this quarter? I need to budget with holidays coming up.

What about the Cage Superman in your avatar?...

No quasi-Medieval kind of European fantasy characters should look like they stepped out of a man-spa like in Rings of Power, with complex layer cuts.

Only two successes?! So you must deem one of the Jokers and Pennywise a fail?!

Oh no, InArt only have a 50% success rate!

Ha out of the 3 I only have Joker and Gandalf I'd actually forgotten Pennywise was out aswell so make that 3.

I felt if I was to get any Aragorn the rooted would be the one. I've seen dozens of custom Aragorns with Rooted hair, this is worth it. Same goes with Gandalf. Ironically the whole fellowship will probably have rooted hair.

 

[TheBatman]

Why is it ironic? They all make sense to have rooted hair.. Nobody in the fellowship is bald...

And they're all white. And male. Hmmmmm.......

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

That's what makes it a fantasy story. All the hair.

My cousin genuinely refuses to give LOTR a chance for that exact reason.

Yes, she’s a Gen Z vegan with they/them friends. How could you tell?!!

As a person of color, cancelling my PO!!
