Okay so I am struggling to come up with a hairstyle for this character. He's intended to have long wavy hair, but I am really fashion-retarded so I can't quite make up my mind on what style would look good for him.

Anyone that is doodle-fancy mind helping me out? I'd prefer something that doesn't cover up too much of his face, but remains elegant looking. Also, several small braids and whatnot incorporated into the style would be a big plus.

hmm, how's about a mixture of these two styles:

for a braided scalp and a couple loose braids, and

for long wavy sides, to match his tail?
Hi! Hair is one of my specialties, at least semi layered loose curls. Maybe we can do a screen share and see if it helps at all. I don't know if I can be of assistance but I am more than willing to try!!

Very nice! It absolutely fits. You have phenomenal skill.
You're so talented...I love the hair style. Will this remain a sketch or do you plan to color him? :)

Ahh it's so messy, but thank you. ><

I did color him in quickly. I'll be making a much more polished version, as well as a full reference sheet for him that will include his clothes (since he can't be naked foreverrr, lol)

Again, it's NSFW for nonsexual nudity.

Oooh, love the coloring. His tail is my favorite part <3 I suppose he can't be naked forever, but he sure is pretty to look at XD
