[DAY 12] [DEVELOPMENT] Huppel Hairstyle Choices and Facial Features

With hairstyles, I wanted to give each character a look which really stood out. One, because that way, the character is easily remembered and more easy to gain a relationship between a person and a character. Two, it has to suit the characters personal features, such as their face and figure. Complimenting hair is the key to successful characters.
With Huppel, I had a real struggle coming up with hair that she would suit. Being German, I didn't want to make her stereotypical. Instead, I went with a punk look, with her hair being blonde with very dark and dyed brown raccoon tails. I felt this gave Huppel more of a colour selection to her design, and was to be kept as her main hair colour design.


I then drew out 8 separate heads on Photoshop and did a few sketches of different types of hair styles. By this time, I also decided on Huppels facial features and eye colour. I then printed the copy out and went around asking people what hair cut style they preferred out of the 8 on the page. I also put the image on Facebook for people online to look at too.
