I never claimed to be much of a hair-stylist. I see little people. Top Quote |

@raistware: You're right about the contrast (or lack thereof) of the female's headband thingie. I was attempting a gold tiara of sorts. It worked better against black hair. I see little people. Top Quote |

Here are some shots of the female. Images are all from screenshots. (I realize the hotspot is off.) Personally, to my eyes there is enough contrast between the colors of the skin and hair. Lightening the hair much further would yield white I would think. I admit the shading for the hair suggests cloth and the headband does result in a strong resemblance to Arab headgear. A different styling may mitigate that. Plus I think there is a surprisingly good definition from most angles between the gold headband and this shade of blond. What do you all think? I see little people. Top Quote |

I'd say: Very good work, chuckw! No, really, they look excellent. Looking at the models, I think that the green eyes work surprisingly well with the blond hair (which is however a detail of little importance in the game itself). I also like the females to be more slim. Looks even better. And they look good in-game as well. Even the head band is visible and you can recognize them on all grounds you made shots of. I certainly hope that there will be a use for these female models.

For me looks very arabic, I prefer hair stile like first post (only style, not color). With yours, chuck, hair seems a cloth instead of hair. But headband jewlery shows very good, really. Top Quote |

I also think the female hair looks a lot like cloth. How about a pony tail (with knots in it or so?). I'd also like the green of the skin a little more pronounced, but I leave the style decision to you. And I also agree: very good work. Top Quote |

Thanks for the comments. Rest assured that I have them foremost in mind and am not done with the hair. I see little people. Top Quote |

Here is another set of screenshots focusing on the female model. For this model, I used a different technique (particle generation) to make the hair. It takes longer to render and a lot of the detail is lost, but the result doesn't look like cloth. This model does not sport any head jewelry, not even a ponytail band, but it does have playercolor. I'll take another try with the original technique and play with the hair styling and textures a bit more. I welcome all comments. I see little people. Top Quote |
