Naunet, that's a lot of hair styles. Haha.
I agree though. As mentioned my times on these forums my cheek bone, bridge of nose, curve of lips, ect. Is so minimal it is useless. But someone's hair style and color, that stands out much more.
I know it would be too much work, but I would like to see the ponytail under a helmet too. Just because I put a helmet on does not mean my mullet should go away!
Male hairstyles are hard, but...
And honestly people critique the "man bun", but I think it can look pretty delicious...
And I think it goes without saying, but there needs to be a plethora of facial hair options THAT ARE SEPARATE FROM HEAD HAIR. There are a number of great examples in the images above.
@Naunet I bet their character artist is going to cry when they get that stack of models placed in their inbox. Now I challenge you to go get a list of pictures of 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th century hair styles. That way we can really choose, the real hipsters were in 16th century france. (totally making that up)
*second edit*
Historical Middle Eastern and East Asian countries would also be very cool to draw from.
What about just plain bald? Is that considered a style? Could it be something that female characters could choose?
I prefer soft looks, long and flowing..feminine styles for females, braided, partially braided, love the flowers in the hair look in one of the pictures above. Those that like the shaved look well leave some of the choices for that for those that like that too. :) I'll be choosing something that appeals to me, long as VR's artists get it right. And then there's those helmets...again, option to toggle them off if they are too hard to look at. LOL

Challenge accepted!
And non-European styles:
I think the guys will take a bit more searching, so coming later...
Honestly, what I hope VR gets out of this is that they should not feel like they can be "lazy" when it comes to hair. The hair can really make the character, so give us LOTS of options.
Here are some "older" guy styles...
Oh, the famous "Titus" cut... (which was actually REALLY popular with women, too)
Sorry not as many... I'm just doing google image searches for the most part, and it seems to prefer the more modern guy styles haha. I have to say, I feel sorry for European dudes in the older centuries.
My goal here is to show VR the breadth of hairstyles available to them. I don't think their graphic artists are idiots, but I am almost always disappointed by hairstyle options in video games. So here's to hoping we get many good ones of a variety of styles.
definitelynotarobot said:Naunet I think the second hairstyle pic is called the "I'd like to speak with the manager" cut. Also yes to both variety of styles and helm hide option.
/agree. I always silently called it the d**k-head do, because, well, it made the head look like.. you know. X]

I actually really like that hairstyle and had it until my hair grew out several inches. :( Then again, my hair is pretty curly, so it has a slightly different effect (looks more like a loose 1920s style when I let it air dry at that length haha). xD
