I really like the idea behind new scientific drawings but there is one that seems a bit off to me.

The line art seems to be darker than it should be and rather jagged and thick in some places - especially when compared to the others. This wig just needs some love.

The art for the others seems a bit weak in comparison with many of the fabulous CW wigs that we have on site. I think the subeta artists are highly talented, I just wish they would show as much love in their wigs as they do in other clothing items. These items seem rather dated.

IMO the best ones are:

I totally agree with you. In fact I didn't even look hard at that one because I instantly knew I would never wear it.

I'd never wear any of them, but then again I am always a bald skeleton behind a mask.

I think some of the criticisms in the news comments are fair though.

Yes, I agree that what they were going for is awesome and I wish the execution was more precise so I would be tempted to buy them! lol :)

I really love the Heron one! ❤

However, I feel like some of the other ones need some touching up. The Macaw one has so little definition. And the Bird of Paradise is just...confusing. It literally looks like too different wigs layered over each other. It doesn't look nearly up to par in my opinion.

Basically I think these were great and creative ideas but they look unfinished. I'm a little disappointed because I feel like if users submitted some of these as CWs they'd get denied for being incomplete. They really are great. There's just something off about some of them.

I agree some of the line art is thick and some shading looks plastic. The Ci art is amazing though. I do love the theme but yeah some of the wigs need a tweak.

They don't look terrible or anything, but compared to most of the other recent releases (Vesnali, anyone? Or how 'bout those Delish lines?) these seem really clunky and low quality.

These ones seem to be the most-- completed?-- overlays to me out of the entire batch. They're at least useable, if not a little thick in some places.

The others-- I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit disappointed. :c I did literally gasp when I saw the item art was bird related and went to hover on the first one, the Macaw-- and then I had to reread the post to make sure they weren't rereleasing something from like 5 years ago. They lack the careful and dainty refinement that we've been seeing from wigs lately. I'm a little surprised these were approved for the Cash Shop.

I wish they'd held onto them for a little longer and refined them. I absolutely love the concept, and am pumped for wigs that aren't bland, but I can see myself using very few of these in their current state. I do appreciate the concept and the bright colours and the natural-textured one though, so thank you for that! I just hope these get some touchups!

I'd love to see a revamp of Macaw and Bird of Paradise. Especially that last one since I'm most likely to use it. Agree that the heron, raven and roadrunner look good. Swallow could maybe use some touchup too.

I feel bad criticizing these so much. I just wish they looked as nice as their item images (stunning), and I think they should be held to that standard if they're expected to be cash shop items. I'd love to buy several if they get a bit of an upgrade. They're gorgeous colors and styles, and I'd take all of them for the item art itself.

(Is this supposed to be in revamp feedback if they're new items? Just curious)

I like some of them a lot (Raven and Pigeon... I'd love the Quail one if the hairline wasn't so high; and I like the idea behind the Bird of Paradise a great deal but something seems off there).

I do agree that the Macaw's lines seem to be off, and the Vulture as well perhaps (honestly just looks like the style for that wig).

But I personally like the coloring for them. I really, really don't want the site artists to go the same way CW artists have been lately. While CW artists are doing amazing things, so many of the wigs recently look like stickers with no (or nearly no) or colored internal line art. They're still so pretty, I just sit here wondering 'is it a sticker on the head ?'

I would have preferred these to be released for the art museum shop in Delphi instead. Nothing's been added there for like 2 years now.

I'm not sure if I'll use many/any of them but I do like them in a way. They're different, which, given the plethora of wigs on site already, is never a bad thing. They remind me of the Sheet Music hairs released for the 2014 Masquerade with the unique colouring. I do think some of the quality could be tightened up in the lines and the vulture hair, in particular, is missed potential, but eh.

I'm going to echo others in saying a lot of these lack inner lineart (specifically most of the more feminine ones) and look kind of dodge burned. As it stands they look stickery and plasticy, and while the item images are pretty I wont probably buy one of these.

While making changes for future items is good, some of those items wont be bought for anything beside their item. They are already at a standard of art that feels as though it requires revamping. Like we now have new art that already is in need of an upgrade.

Some shiny ones that still look quality and arent in need of fixing (not based on how much I like the actual hairstyle)

Even the looks immensely plastic to me.

It looks like molded vinyl hair on a doll, even in the sense of it sitting higher on the head. If that's the look that was intended, it is not implied strongly enough. That being said, as a novelty piece it would have been acceptable even being rather hard/shiny anywhere but the Cash Shop.

Disagree on CW wigs though... I still see wigs come out every day that are glaringly different than site style, and share many issues with these and other sub-par wigs lately.

I agree with the previous comments. Didn't notice the thicker line art before, but when I went back and looked... yeah, it's especially obvious on the macaw.

BUT I love the colors/patterns used, and the heron and roadrunner are AMAZING. I love the hairstyle for the swallow too, although the lines look a little clunky on it. And the CIs are fabulous. Getting the vulture one for Tak's TC; he always needs more vultures to control :D

I think these could be fixed with a little refining/tweaking, but it sounds like they won't be... 'tis a shame :(
