    I suppose befor I do something like that again I should probably warn people or something. Maybe something like...

    That's a comic I'd read. :D I hope the black and white girl is a ghost - that would be cool. I see these characters and I want to know what their story is.

    Just a word of critique - the spikey blonde anime hairstyle doesn't seem to fit quite as well with the group's style, imo - the hair seems a bit more "toon" than the other girls' hair. Stylistically it doesn't seem to go as well - just IMO, Feel free to disagree, of course. :)

    Ghost, Pluto Chan, avatar of a black hole, there's some options.

    Honestly that hair is jaust a place holder, I wanted something spiky and messy, that was the closest I had. Back in September when she was born her name was Corona{cringe}, at the start of mach I worked on her some more, messed up her hair and changed her name to Solara{'cause reasons}. It seemed to me the best way to fight off darkness was to turn up the sun, so silly over done hair.cheekylaugh

    Yeh, I've found myself watching anime recently; I'm fairly new to the genre (can thank netflix for that), and I would agree with Diva on the hairstyle - and that I might read the comic/watch the anime.

    The issue is that that particular hair is a mismatch to all the others.If the rest of the cast were wearing plastic wigs too (which that one looks like) then it would just look like the style that you're working in. But the rest of the wigs look like hair. Maybe not natural hair, but hair. That one doesn't.

    @Ethin, what Hair does Luna have, if you don't mind me asking?

    It's an important point; consider just one image; you're telling a story with that one image, anything that chances breaking the effect you're trying to have on the viewer will prevent your story getting across. One of the reasons I have had issues with the hair and clothes in studio - certainly before dforce and strand hair came along. It was much easier for those to spoil the effect prior to that.
