Hi! This might sound weird but I'm planning to cosplay xiao xingchen and I saw you make screen caps so I was wondering if you have any references for the back of his hair in the yi city arc?? I can only find good photos of his hair from the first eps he and SL appears
Hello!
No worries, it’s not weird at all! I also have MDZS + CQL projects with my friends, so of course, I’m very happy to help you with this! <3
And hopefully you don’t mind that I publish this answer in case there are others who needs similar reference.
Disclaimer:
MDZS and The Untamed do not allow cosplay. They do, however, allow us to post our photos as long as we do not mention the word “cosplay” both in the caption and tags.
We are also not allowed to place their official logos in our photos.
We are allowed to say that we’re “wearing MDZS/CQL costumes”.
This is also why they release their own official MDZS and CQL costumes in their official Taobao stores (although this still does not stop the Chinese folks to sell their own self-made costumes, especially for characters whose costumes are not released by the official stores).
This rule, as far as I know, applies to other MXTX works, as well (SVSSS and TGCF).
For XXC hair in Yi City, I regret to tell you that I don’t have any clear shots of this (at least not at close range). BUT I know where you can find the wig for this because coincidentally, one of my friends is also going to cosplay XXC.
You can use these photos as reference if you prefer styling it on your own.
Note: Just in case the pictures I’m going to post below isn’t clear enough, here is the GDrive link for the original pictures and screenshots. I will also include the store link at the end of this post in case you need it.
Okay, so I just noticed that in the Yi City Arc, Xiao Xingchen have 2 hairstyles (at least that’s what I noticed). The first one is in the beginning, where he just met A-Qing and found the dying Xue Yang.
The other one is nearing the end of the arc before his death.
The difference is the buns(?) on top of his hair.
So me and my friends found this shop in Taobao that specializes in selling all sorts of front-lace wigs for cosplay. Not only MDZS and CQL characters, they also have front-lace wigs for other Chinese/Japanese series and dramas.
Their wigs are in good quality, and the most important is, their styling is (IMO) 80-90% accurate. That’s why you can also use their product photos as reference.
I found their Xiao Xingchen wig and they have 4 different hairstyles you can choose.
I believe the one you’re looking for is the 3rd and 4th styles. The 1st and 2nd ones look like they are for the past XXC when he was still traveling with Song Lan (because they included a plain white hair tie bonus).
This is the 3rd style.
And this one is the 4th.
I uploaded all of their product photos in the above GDrive folder if you need to zoom/take a closer look from different angles.
Hopefully you’ll find them useful. Sorry that these are the best reference that I can provide. ^^
The links to the Taobao store is under the cut.
