Jhair 13 - preview

- anyway, if you've been reading my ramblings in the WIP posts for the previous hair, you might've caught the fact that I mentioned something about a variation to it coming soon. This is it. As I was modelling the braid, I noticed that there was decent space leftover in the lower back of the head, so decided to go for a variation that had some loose hair there.
- now, this is far from perfect since the model wasn't exactly built for it. The amount of hair is just unrealistic imo, especially considering the volume and position of the braid. I tried and originally planned to have less, but it just wasn't looking right or in line with how I envisioned it, so I was forced to add more. I also didn't modify the original model in any way (other than deleting some existing hairs that were in the way), I only added to it, so length and shape of the loose hair were dictated by it. There's some clipping there because of that, the overall shape is a bit different than how I'd have like it and the hair is a bit too close to the body, because of the existing braid position. Using anything thicker than a thin tank top or similar clothing will probably clip badly.
- that being said, it really felt like a missed opportunity not doing it, having a large part of the asset there to begin with. Making this from scratch, while better, would've been a considerable endeavour, but modifying an existing style was a lot more manageable and timely. It looks pretty good, all things considering, and I'm sure some will like and find a use for it.
