Fantasy Hair Costume Peices


Ad Astra

 

Posted

I know there's a lot of anime buffs out there, that play this game and have wanted that crazy hair that fits your character. This is just an idea. Would it be possible? Seeing as people are really hoping for new costume pieces for going rogue. I'm just wondering what everyone else thinks.

If not with going rogue it would be cool to have an Anime booster pack. With costume pieces and some emotes.

JLove does have a special thread for costume suggestions, and that's the only place on the forum he looks for costume suggestions.

Really? Sometimes I have my doubts.

That is the place he looks for ideas when he has no specific taskings or desires. That doesn't mean he attempts to fill them he just uses it as an idea pool when he has none.

For those of us who are not Anime buffs, can you give us some examples?

This isn't really a criticism of you individually, but too many people assume that everyone has the exact same background and will immediately understand what is meant by a phhrase that is pretty self-evident to them - like "Fantasy Hair Costume Pieces". When I think of Fantasy, I do not immediately think of Anime, probably because I don't watch anime and don't particularly care for its style or some of the more typical story plots.

And, BTW, some of us have been campaigning for animated hair (a la Ghost Widow) since CoV came out - there are apparently some technical reasons why we don't involving multiple moving pieces being a "bad" thing.

Generally it's self supporting hair that looks like it should be full of holding gel but isn't.

Sometimes spiky sometimes raised.

In that case, that's not strictly fantasy. Fantastical, yes, but it's not something I'd expect the heroes of most fantasy works that I'm aware of to be sporting, nor are such haircuts exclusive to Japanese fantasy either. That's not to say I'm against the idea of anime/manga-based hair disasters, mind.

Now, for hairstyles -linked- to the Fantasy genre... I, erm... I've got nothing. Other than that of Jareth. Maybe.

Don't we have some spiky hairstyles already, then? I know I have short spikes for my frosty corruptor, the Gamine and most of the "Long" styles seem to look very similar to what's in this picture. At least for females, it seems to me we already have a bunch of anime-esque styles (many of which were added quite some time ago). I don't make male characters, so I'm not as familiar with those styles - perhaps that's where OP is looking for more styles?

I'm not trying to be snarky, just genuine puzzled since we have some already. What more is being requested? (Other than animated hair, which I tend to associate with Anime as well).

I want some decent male long hair! I'm constantly irked by the fact that it's impossible to get a male character with an appropriately long coif (similar to my own), not to mention that male long and female long are comically different (male long is only roughly equal to female medium, if even that).

Maybe someone should mention this thread or something of that sort

When the OP started talking about Fantasy Hair, I didn't think Anime.

As far as I'm concerned, Jay really dropped the ball on the new hairstyles back in the day. There were a good bit of opportunities for new, normal hair, like longer hair for men and a few more decent hairstyles for women. Instead we got Spock hair and hairstyles from a bunch of different cartoons and movies, and males STILL didn't get a proper long hairstyle. Sometimes I think it's best to stop adding esoteric pieces that are better for laughs than serious characters and add in a few generic, normal-looking hairstyles to fit in the gaps the costume creator leaves.

Of course, I wouldn't mind a more proper Vegeta hairstyle, too

"Anime hair" doesn't really mean anything in particular to anime fans, either. "Self-supporting hair" is only one small subset of a much larger spectrum of hairstyles, and it isn't actually all that common. Most widely seen on Goku, Vegeta and Squall Lionheart, that's by far not the norm. Even if we go by "weird" hair, it's not as common, with just a few men with it and just a few women with impossibly huge bows, ponytails that are thicker than their legs or corkscrew locks thick enough to drill through concrete.

On the flip side, anime has a lot more regular hairstyles, and a look at the less "wacky" anime will show a full list of those. Ghost in the Shell, for instance, tends to have either buzz cut, regular short or medium long. Hair colours aren't always human, but that's another point entirely.

On the other hand, what anime tends to have that Western animation does not is the kind of really long, really straight hair that tends to typify stereotypical Eastern women in Western shows. Owners of such hair tend to have a short, even fringe with the hair extending down to the waist behind the ears. We DO have something like that, but it's actually parted with no fringe and it's parted asymmetrically, hiding one eye. It's a pretty decent style, by the way, but it'd be nice to see a few more like it.

And it'd be nice to see longer hair on men. We already have something kind of like Sephiroth hair, but where ours is shoulder length, his is waist-length.

This is kinda what I meant in my earlier post about the title of the thread not matching my definitions of "fantasy hair". I think these long flowing locks for guys, with the addition of long spiky (a la the Goblin King from Labyrinth - DumpleBerry's old avatar) and for females, some elaborate braided styles put up on the head and more long hair down the back with different textures (curly, etc.).

Getting them would be great (even if I can't bring myself to make a Male or Huge character because I can't stand watching them run from behind).

Animated hair on top of it would be bonus!

(as an aside - Yay! a picture of Sean Bean/Boromir!)

In general what I meant was just longer male hair is all. We really do have a sucky set.

I like the examples here. And yeah, long male hair is kinda...lacking.
Some of those Final Fantasy examples are good, too.

Being a huge Arnold fan the fact that I can't make a toon with hair that long is exactly why I've not made a broadsword toon.

But I agree that we need more male hair types/lengths.

Actually, having looked through Aion, I think we also lack any decent curly hair. And, no, the Afros don't count.

In general. Male costumes are lacking. Pieces and all. It seems like no matter what, Females have an extreme amount of good pieces that can be mixed and matched. Males are just to plain..they aren't out there like some of the female costumes I've seen
