I hope this is the proper place for this thread. Anyway, tell me how I did on this I guess? lol



Edit: Ok I think I improved the side burn issue?
Edit2: Ok, so the third one here I've brightened up the color on the edges and made the transparency more subtle, the fourth one here I've change the colors a bit, brightened the edges, more subtle transparency, although the lines are still 100% opaque... I'm terrible at making decisions lol... Do you think these could count as recolored items?
After putting it on a base with face parts I think maybe I should have added hair to the other side of the face. Maybe I took the transparency too far in? Or maybeeeee... I probably did something wrong? It's just terrible all the way around? lol ¯(?)/¯
Obv the facial details are not included in the item.

I actually really like it! I think it's really pretty.
I think it is gorgeous too.
It is a gorgeous item! I love the deep purples and blues. The additional sideburn looks great too! My only crit would be I'm not sure what the dealie is with the trailing tendrils -- they make the avatar silhouette look a little off-balance and chaotic (which might be what you're looking for tbh, so if so disregard this! haha.)
If you're super attached to having the tendrils, maybe having them all pointing in a similar direction would streamline the silhouette a little more, or you could go more minimalistic and have the wig bits more like a bob, similar to the . Like I said, though, it looks awesome as-is -- great item and lovely use of color!
Thank you! :3
Thank you for commenting, I appreciate it! The "tendrils" are actually supposed to be tight, ringletish style curls, but all floaty and stuff! I was going for kind of a supernatural look I guess? It's probably kind of hard to tell with the dark colors and transparency. I think I'm going to mess with that a bit more. :)

- This is really neat! I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it on Subeta. I do not use feminine avatar pieces, but I will give my feedback anyway. ^_^
I really love the colours and the mystical look of it. I like the tight braids A LOT! You don't see that hair type very often on Subeta!
I feel like the tendril/bangs on the forehead might be a slight bit too chunky? Compared to the other ends of the tendrils, that one looks wider to me.
I like the sideburn part best in the version on the far left, but I think maybe it would look better if it was a lighter shade? It looks very dark and it distracts a bit, I think.
Final suggestion: It looks slightly unbalanced in the way that there are more tendrils out to the right. Maybe one more light/floaty tendril on the left side would help make it more balanced?
And a parting comment: You are a great artist! Don't be too hard on yourself. ^_^ Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the input, I'll really appreciate it a lot! I did make this because all of the "galaxy" hair available didn't seem to have quite the type of curls I was looking for, and seemed to have all roughly the same bang style... I guess thats what people like! It was kind of funny to see that, as I wear mine differently. :)
Yes, the bangs are a little peculiar looking.. The shading I did on it to try to give it more dimension doesn't show up too well.. I have thought of that but I didn't want too much forehead I guess? lol I haven't mentioned in this thread, but perhaps I should, that this is a tribute item! :3 It looks as such because I was trying to keep an association to the characters hair while of course making enough changes.
I could probably try to adjust the sideburns again, maybe make them wispier? I supposed it might look more balanced if I just removed the smallest strand at the top-right?
Thank you again for your comment! xP
