Custom Faceset, need feedback

[LegACy]

Well, I recently got a scanner so I can start posting some art, anyway, I tried to do a faceset based on a hair, I got the outline's pretty fine:

But now I started coloring it, I can't give the hair a decent depth:

Anyway, I really need feedback on this, what should I improve? how to give the hair a nice look without ruining it?

And this is the charset's hair:

Well, it doesn't have the Michael Jackson effect after you color it. I can't find anything wrong with it.

 

[LegACy]

come on j, what's this michael jackson I keep hearing about?

Nuff sed. Well, what he means is the nose looked too fake and... yu-gi-oh like. It looked like a line, and I'm taking a wild guess he thinks that all anime characters are Micheal Jackson look-alikes. Though, the skinny nose(FAKE) is what that style entails, is it not? Looks good though, and as for the hair, it looks great, except the problem might be that overall he is too... Pointy. If you make the chin more rounded to go with the mouth, it might look better.

Hmm Well you need to make the back spikes darker and such. Adding shades like that always adds a little depth. You could also add in a little more spikes in the front because right now all there is in the front is just those in his face. There should be a little more than just front and back. maybe a little middle ground of spikes might do the trick.

 

[LegACy]

Hmm... adding another middle spikes via coloring... I dunno.. it's a nice idea, altho I dunno wether it would work on this kind of hair or not...

I personally figure the hair is fine. If you want to improve anything, you could work on the face. It's rather elvish/pixie-ish at the moment, moreso than I usually see in anime. Can't see anything else wrong with it.

i think that you should make his traps bigger...(between the neck and shoulders) kinda like dragonball z but not so big, other than that, i think its great

 

[LegACy]

I dunno, I don't want it to look to muscular, so I avoid using a big ones...

anyway, finished another one:

[NexS]

[LegACy]

just pick the one that looks more appealing to your eyes...

 

[NexS]

[LegACy]

[NexS]

[LegACy]

/swt

the one on the right have border between dark and lighter shades while the one on the left don't...

 

[NexS]

theres not a lot of difference, but use that one.... it kinda makes the hair look a titch darker
