I am changing my skin a little, seeing as it was basically a straight rip of Thaumaturge Robes. Getting to the hair and face, had a little shave, not sure how I feel about that yet though.

but my problem is the hair. I want to make the hair look more like the swept back look like in Blue’s wonderful drawings, but this is VERY hard to do on a Minecraft skin..

If anyone that is actually good at this has any tips that would be great!

you can probably raise the hairline/add more forehead to make it seem like there’s not much stray hair (since it’s all been swept back, y’know?)

and maybe a few lines of different tones of hair running backward on the top of the head, so it looks like there are different strands of hair– and it might give some depth or something.
