So Conflicted!

Thu Apr 3, 2008, 12:11 PM

Mood: Sadness

I'm so torn on this topic that my soul feels like it's DROWNING! O, the humanity! I'm spiraling into the black abyss of my life...

But, seriously, I'm having trouble making a decision on this one, and I've had the same problem for a long time now. Be prepared for this difficult question of epic proportions...

Should I give my old character Christian his long hair back, or should he keep his new short 'do? Long hair can be seen here: [link] and short here: [link]

They both match different facets of his personality; the longer hair was a reflection of his unkempt, irrational, and slightly emo nature, and the short was more for his modern, inquisitive side and his love of efficiency.

The short hair is more mature...but on the other hand, I have a harder time drawing it. Longer hair is easier to draw and allows for lots of expression beyond just the face.

OH, DECISIONS...HOW YOU ANTAGONIZE ME!

Hat?

He remains efficient, and there is ALWAYS the option of adjusting the hat to reflect a different attitude or feeling at the time.Could be exotic hat/baseball cap whatever's easiest or most fun to draw, and provides PLENTY of room for emotional expression... no?

FILE NOT FOUND!!! noooo...

Well I really love his long hair mostly cause I think shaggy unkept hair is awsome. But there are ways to make that look more sophisticated and modren by the way you have him wear it. And that opens a whole 'nother realm of ways to draw him.

Personally, I loved the long hair. But that, as I mentioned, is probably because he reminds me of Jared Leto that way. xD But it is totally up to you. I found that when I shorted my main OC's hair, it made him much less of a headache to draw.
