WIP - concept characters page (spoilers ??)
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 1:30 am
I was looking at the characters here, admiring the effort and beauty of these stock working artwork characters.

I have wondered at how long hair can work as a visual device in SFF, and I wonder at the effort required to maintain the hairstyles. I can think of many very elaborate hair displays that have been prepared and shown on TV, Film and as photographs. However I was wondering at the aged lady with great status shown below - and the hair being on the ground.
On the one hand, we have great status based on the elabourate hair and the length of the hair, but the hair is on the ground siniously placed behind the character.
I was wondering if a static electricity charged anti-gravity or hair hovering aspect could be placed into the hair style. So it does not hang heavy like it does here (and if it were to be like this, it would be several kilos of hair, quite a strain on a neck)
Real hair hangs heavy, and not at aesthetically IMO.
I'd love some kind of technical solution so that respected elders can have long long hair, it's controlled, it follows the person like a gently waving airborne beautiful display of technical subtleness. Not as a twisted knot or a tightly bound platt than hangs to the bottom. Dont like platts. No idea how to consider the idea but I just thought I'd put it out to the forum to see what people thought.
