SLARPG: Faith hairstyle tests (Patreon)

Some more material from Faith's development. If you have no idea who Faith is, check out my previous post!

It took me a while to figure out her hairstyle. I original envisioned her with long, straight hair--I wanted her to be a very graceful, sort of mysterious looking character to highlight her magical nature. But when Anthony took a shot at her design, he thought a bun would fit her hard working personality.

In the end, I did give her a large bun, but not after a lot of experiments. The first one is a more direct translation of Anthony's original drawing, but in my art style it looks, uh. Kind of awful. Making the hairstyle more complex in my second attempt didn't help. After giving up on my original idea of her having straight hair, I also tried going in a direction that I'll admit is blatantly inspired by Princess Allura from Voltron: Legendary Defender. Because I love Allura. But then I gave her a bun again, and moved it higher on her head to make her look less passive
