My Bio
I am a college graduate with a BFA in graphic design (interactive and illustration) and a Japanese minor, and am working as a web designer & programmer in downtown Philadelphia. I really love doing cosplay, started in 2004. I am pretty stubborn, have high-expectations, dream big, and often over-extend myself.... I'm not quite sure where my life is going, but for now, I'll just be having fun cosplaying... ^_^;

Sorry, I don't check dA often, so I don't know if this is useful anymore... but there's no real way to lighten wig fibers unfortunately. You can take a light wig and dye it darker with inks/etc-- and even that can only work so much. You can't successfully dye a white wig black, for example. At best you'll get gray.
Since it's plastic, you're basically coating it with a thin layer of dye, which will only tint the fibers. To cover it completely opaque, you'd have to paint them, which you can't really do with wig hair.
Anyway, I hope you found a solution for your wig! If you can't find the find color wig, it's best to start with a lighter color and work up from there.
Ah thank you! For your support, always! I really appreciate it! I'm definitely around more (though still not a ton) on tumblr, so I'm certainly more active there than here, hahah. I keep forgetting about dA even though I like the interface/functionality a lot still! I will catch you around on tumblr, it's good to see you're still doing art and everything! <3
Thank you. Thank you for sharing your story, I'm glad I stumbled upon it. It's one of those things that popped up at the right time, like, this is what I needed to hear.

I've been struggling with terrible depression for several months. I mean, maybe it was always there? That voice. But that voice found a wonderful opening to attack, and now I believe that voice more than my own. I don't know what my voice sounds like anymore. Did I ever have a voice?

I know I won't feel better today. Or tomorrow, or even the next day. But I have to keep fighting. Right now I'm fighting just to stay functional, in the most pathetic way. To do the dishes, to go to work, etc, like you said. Soon I hope I'll be strong enough to take depression head on. But right now I can't. I need to try harder, because, no, this is no way to live. I don't remember what it's like to be "me" anymore.

It's always comforting to know there are others who understand what it's like. Even if the specifics are different, the darkness is real, and it is very powerful. It's hard to see the light anymore. But it's there, you've proven it's there. I hope I can find my light soon, that will lead me out of the darkness...

I hope you had a lovely birthday~
Depression
Happy Birthday to you~~!
