New Hairstyle Suggestions

Here are my suggestions, ignoring the fact that they might have been suggested already. may contain incoherent rambling.
Floran: pitcher cans, venus flytrap, giant raffalesia (worlds largest flower, think vileplume from pokemon). generally all sorts of carnivorous plants. there is that one plant that has long hairs with globs of sticky "dew" that entices prey and then it wraps them up, could be the floran version of "spiky" hair. we also need giant mushrooms, like Toad from Mario. possibly two smaller mushrooms with long stems for pigtails? long hair could be like lichen (that long moss-like thing that dangles from the branches of old trees) and they could even have a moss afro!

Hyl- the fishy race: long jellyfish dreadlocks. like, the "clock" of the jellyfish sits on top of their head, and the tendrils/tentacles dangle from the clock. hopefully with colorful tips. lionfish fins. we need lionfish fins. maybe some Argonian (Elder Scrolls) style spike things? for the males there could be catfish beard/mustache, or "frills" like on the monkfish/other bottom-lurking fishies that use said frills to camuflage themselves or sense for prey. Axlotl type "ear"/cheek beard. slightly elongated head with dumbo octopus type wings. anglerfish dangle. jellyfish clock could double as afro.

Robot: long dangly antenna with a light on the end. one would be able to change the color of the end bit. add more for "twin-tails". monitor type face that displays different smilies depending on the personality thing that changes how your character stands. wire beard/long dangly mustache.

cant think of anything for the other races. I might whip together some basic scetches of my ideas once I get home.

 

I was thinking of a hairstyle for a robot that look like two tiny tesla coils on the left and right side of the robots head and like a little spark appears between them maybe? Also thinking of daft punk style heads with a full on visor as well as a deadmau5 head except more robotic like?
examples:

 

Here are my rough sketchy ideas for floran hair. quality of art is questionable.

 

That flytrap is so badass, good job on the art.

 

I support this idea.

How about some long, shoulder length male hair for the guys who like longer hair. (if it hasn't already been suggested)

 

I also don't think that not using it is the only solution.

First of all, just because I don't use it for my characters, doesn't mean that other characters won't use it.
Second of all, just because you don't have to use something, does not mean you can just throw it into a game.
And finally, I'm just trying to explain the problems with having long hair in a game like this. I don't have a vendetta against long hair in the least. For me personally, you are correct. I DON'T care if long hair is in the game or not, because I won't use it.

But others will. They very much will.

I can't tell if those are ideas, or hairstyles already in the game.
Also, as much as I love the spirally avian one, I can imagine that won't be so easy to pixalate properly.

 

the second one looks like cthulhu xD

 

Or Davy Jones

 

Or Davey Jones?

 

thank you I had some initial problems with it, as i wanted it to be more like a real flytrap. As you can see, realism lost the struggle against imagination and drew it like that instead.

 

No need to quote yourself. I read the rest of the thread. I responded to your post as I did, because I couldn't tell what you wanted. Perhaps you wanted the devs to animate the hair, but I felt like you were saying that long hair should be removed altogether, hence

I was responding to what you appeared to be saying.

Then, if the hair does remain stone hair, let those who are bothered, mod the game appropriately.

 

True, that is a possibility, but could you also not say the same for those who want long hair?
"Then, if the hair does not reach past the waist, let those who are bothered, mod the game appropriately."

I was saying, the longer/larger the hair, the stranger it looks.

 

That's technically true, I guess. However if someone has long hair and wants the character to have the same, removing long hair form the game entirely is favouring one person's preference for physics (for hair they won't use anyway) over another's to identify with their character. That's how it seems to me anyhow.

Fair enough.

 

there are many many kinds of hairstyles! all of them. so many. i want to have all of them.

but that's impossible...

so! if we can choose to use predetermined hairstyles -or- make our own, i think i won't mind spending -hours- just to sprite my character's hair! have the files savable, so for multiplayer purposes the server can just download the costum file, it'd be like... 4 kb...

kind of like in... APB reloaded, for an example, where we can layer the clothings and make our own tattoos and symbols and decals, no matter how tedious (i spent... three hours just making tattoos for the face and neck, haha)

ooo, i like the flower variation idea! venus flytrap, eeee. also, those are excellent hylotl fins.

 

They are ideas, and I will take your confusion as a compliment; thank you!

You are correct. It was neither as easy as I had thought nor as proper as I had hoped.

 

Some butcher/cooker wearable suit will be AWESOME!!

 

I really like these, especially the fins that remind me of Cell from DBZ (just always thought that was a cool head design, and would fit the Hylotl race)

Also Cthulu/Zoidberg esq face tentacles could be a cool beard type option for the race.

 

I have a suggestion for Apex female hairs. I've never done pixel art before but I really hope something like this makes it into the game.

 

Here are some sketches of ideas for hair for the Hy-fishy people. (I need to learn how to spell that name...) my favourite is the jellyfish hat, axlotl gills and lionfish fins
