    I loved the other hair style you had on her from the first post ^_^

    Though I can see the anime feel with this hair! I'm so jealous of her bangs. xD

    This is amazing though! I hope to see more of her! <3

      I'm jealous of her bangs too! xD

      I loved that hairstyle too but I had a small problem with it. There were some white spots in the line were the hair is parted. I played with her a little bit and it annoyed me very much. I couldn't remove it even with hair colours that paint the whole scalp. That is why I tweaked her to find something that didn't have this problem. >.<

      You will certainly see more of her when I have the time to play. Thank you. <3

      awww. Yes I know what you mean. Did you by any chance have the white hair fix?

      Some hair tints will still show white scalp.

      Still love the hair you picked. ^_^

    It looks great. However, I would like to see both of her eyes. Maybe you will still find another third hair style? Maybe something historical? If modern, personally, I could imagine something shorter, what seems to be more practically for fighting, maybe with feathery contures? By the way, did you already try a kind of nude look for her lips? I could imagine, that this would still emphasise her beautiful eyes. Just a suggestion, of course.

    Edit: I guess, there are already feathery contures. Didn't see it immediately due to the shadows. I am sorry.

      Thank you for the suggestions Rosvita! I really appreciate it. ^_^

      I would love to use a more traditional Asian haircut for her but unfortunately I couldn't find something like that. And since I don't have the required knowledge to create something like this I searched the available mods. The reason I choose this hairstyle was because it has these "anime feel" to it. I will tweak her again at some point I'm sure and I might find something more suitable for her. ^_^

      The complexion I'm using for her eyes make-up had a peach colour for the lips. I wanted to make it look more natural so I tweaked it until I got the result you see on the pictures. I completely agree with you a more natural colour would suit her better or no colour at all in this case. But unfortunately there are many limitations to what I can do without the Toolset.

      Oh no worries. ^_^ Yes it is a fluffy hairstyle but you can't see it very well in the images. xD

      Oh, yes, I see. There are some limitations, of course.

      Nevertheless, I've been thinking again about the hairstyle. And I have got another idea for you: Do you already know the mod: A Helmet, A Hairstyle?

      s.http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/4208/?

      There are three models I could imagine for her:

      - 04 (Two stepping fringes with long ponytail)
      - 05 (Kind of paigeboy haircut but a little bit feathery cut)
      - 12 (Pony combined with more then shoulder-lenght hair)

      (Maybe still 01, 03 or 09)

      Maybe you could take a look at... Just an idea.

      I don't know how but I missed this mod! Probably because it is located in the armour category. xD I never though that I would find a mod with hairstyles there, but here it is. ^_^

      Thank you for the link Rosvita! There are some hairstyles there the I don't remember seeing in other mods that I used. From what I remember at least. The ones that you suggested me look really great! I might find something that suits her better. I will have to give it a try when I have a little more time to play with her. ^_^

      It's really nice that the hairstyles are actually helmets it makes it easier to change them in game. Thank you again Rosvita. <3

    She looks simply amazing!
    I like both hairs on her, she is so cute. But, yeah, I think with this hair she looks more Asian too.

      Yeah that are my thoughts exactly. She reminds me of Anime characters with this hairstyle. ^_^ Thank for your kind comment Lauren! I really appreciate it.

    I think both hairs were great on her.
    But since the first one had the white spot that was annoying you, I think this new one is a great option for her too. And yes, I really believe that she looks even more like an Asian character. She was already like that with the old hair, but with the new one even more. I don't know if it is because I already saw too many animes and too many Asian artist that had fringes that covered their eyes, but I really think this hair suits an Asian character as well.
    For me, she looks awesome either way. She is so cute! <3

      Oh, I didn't see any white spots with the other hair. Do you mean you see through the hair on the scalp which is sometimes white which depends on the hair colour you use?

      I think it's a matter of taste. I personally don't like it when the hair covers too much of the face and it depends on the class. As a mage it's for me okay but for a warrior I imagine that she needs a good sight without having any strands of hair cover one of the eyes

      I like both versions!

      No, I didn't see white spot on the other or at least I don’t remember when I tried it, but I think I don’t have a character that used that hair other hair much, so I probably used it only on toolset. But Orchid said that in her game she is having it. I think I know why. In toolset we can change the color of the scalp (I guess it is the scalp like in this tutorial https://whuffie.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/dragon_age_origins_tip_fix_white_lines_in_hair/ I always do it, so all the hairs work without white lines in my game when I use custom colors), so we can avoid such things. But since she created her character in Cc, I don’t know if it is possible. And I don't know if I explained it well and I maybe wrong, I can't say, since I don't understand it much...

      As for the new hair, I agree with Risi! I don’t usually like hair that cover too much the eyes, but it looks nice on her and I think Shigure looks really amazing in both versions! <3

      Thank you both Kerri and Risi!

      I agree with you Risi about the hairstyles that cover the eyes. But in this particular case it reminds me a lot of Anime characters or Asian artists as Kerri said. ^_^ And yes if she wasn't a mage I wouldn't be using it because it is not practical at all. xD

      As for the white spot that Kerri mentioned you couldn't see it in my previous picture because I covered it using the Photoshop (if this is what you meant Risi). I believe that Kerri is right. Some hairstyles have some white spots in the line when the hair is parted. Even if I use a hair colour that paints the scalp I can still see them. I don't know how the Toolset works exactly since I'm not able to use it but what Kerri said makes sense. You guys certainly have more options than I do.
