Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[Yencat]

I hate that so very much. There is exactly one race that will use those hairstyles, you know where their ears connect to their heads; how did any of this get past the design stage? Nearly every hairstyle in their entire range parts sideways between-and-under the ears instead of going around them.

I really hope they approached it better for the male designs.

It doesn't look great zoomed in like that, but you really don't notice it that much when you play one.

I also don't think some of the hairstyles could be achieved if they had to go around the ear base. The ears are positioned vertically while the pigtails have a middle part that makes the hair go horizontally, with how high up the ears are there's very little room for the hair to give the appearance of going around them without messing up the entire look of pulled down ponytails or anything other than pulled back hair really.

I'd much rather they focus on the output of a larger number of hairstyles than being overly concerned with making sure we only get styles that could accommodate the ears in a realistic way.

EDIT: Male viera have a hairstyle with a similar parting and it looks about the same, with both ears on the same side of the parting even.
