I took some photo documentation of my Cloud wig while I was working on it, and I figured I'd share to show the process to those who were curious. It's not really a super detailed tutorial, but I added a bunch of information to fill in what I didn't capture with my camera.

Wig styled by me, using 2 Magnum (color 81) wig bases from Arda-wigs.com

Such an amazing wig *___*
I'm having a lot of trouble making the spikes stand up on my own wig. They just don't stay Dx I'm not loading with hairspray, but it feels like I have to. 3:

Is it easy to get the glue and hairspray out of the wig? I feel like experimentating on a wig :3

This is so helpful. I am absolutely stunned by how amazing that wig turned out. I know you put a ton of time into this thing--and it shows. Just incredible work!

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with your fellow cosplayers. :-D

Sooo question. I'm not exactly sure how you do the spikes. I see that you take sections of the wig and use them for spikes. Do you trim them into the shape and then add the glue? Also, how do you keep the spikes seperated?

yeah, I trim and thin down the tips first so that it comes to a more natural point. I separate the wig into sections with hair pins and clips, and those sections are made into spikes one-at-a-time.
