Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if this has been discussed already or not, but I just feel pretty disappointed with the design of the female sylvari hairstyles lately. There are many beautiful amazing designs they can go with, but continuously do ones that kind of ugly in my opinion. I feel like they could have a bigger variety of styles, but always do these weird pixie cuts. I know this is a small petty thing but it bugs me. Does anyone else feel this way? Is there anyway we could submit ideas? :p

I don’t know about the rest but i really like the one that I have on my ranger, with a black color and a blue glow.
PS: It’s only available in Total Makeover Kits or Self-Style Hair Kits.

I really like the hairstyles of sylvari females actually. Using one of the shortcuts from the kits myself.
But I am always way for more styles and I guess it would be nice with more long leafy ones, as opposed to the short leaves and the branches.

I like the edgy thorn hairstyle on my male sylvari, but the sylvari female hair choices are simply stunning!

That one is at the top of my favorites list for females.

I do know of the self styling kits, I use the new long one also, and the bun type one. It’s nice to hear peoples opinions on this like I have said tho, I would be nice to have a wider variety of the longer type hair for the people who want something different then the ‘edgy thorn type’

These are a few of the ones I designed that I thought would look nice on a sylvari- I used my main as a model.

those designs all look like normal human hair, which is not fitting the overall design of the sylvari in my opinion. them being plant-people is what makes them cool after all…I wouldn’t like to see them turned in another boring fantasy-elvish race.
The face also doesn have much of the plant-like beautiful creepyness of the sylvari in them…I’m sorry but i actually like the standard designs that are thorny and spiky and leafy a lot. next to the charr (which actually have much more boring hair) they’re my favorite when it comes to the overall design.
the problem with longer hairstyles is also that a lot of them clip ugly through all kind of armor.

There is a tremendously long thread of suggested sylvari hairstyles somewhere, you should add yours to that. Though I do caution that your designs all have the hair falling down in front … I hope you like clipping.

Id say its worse for sylvari males

Ooooh, I would love that first long hairstyle on my necro. We need more longer hairstyles like that for sylvari that actually use leaves and grasses. Variety is nice and there is a lot they can do when it comes to sylvari. And who says they can’t have more “humanish” hairstyles considering they are based on humans.

Otherwise very nice concepts, I would draw some myself but I’m not the best when it comes to sylvari and actually making the hair look like leaves lol.

They are more based off of humans, a human help nurture the pale tree into existence and all. And I know they didn’t want the sylvari to be mistake for elves, but they are very elf like I’m sorry to say, it is going to happen when you have a race live in the forest and trees and all.
As for clipping, I hadn’t thought about it when I was drawing these, I dont really mind clipping and all, but I will be redesigning these. Also I will be adding more most likely, I was trying to go for a hippy-type styles, but I don’t feel I quite hit that.
And l’m just saying that they could add a little bit more of a variety to them then just mostly all just short edgy styles that are made of thorns and vines. There aren’t many made of just nice leaves or flower petals.

Really? I will be redesigning, but could you give me a link or something, I’d love to see it.

I believe this is the thread Donari mentioned.

Some fantastic drawings and concepts throughout the thread, so I recommend browsing each page thoroughly.

Here is the video I mentioned that showcases this hairstyle being designed with Kristen Perry. It is pretty informative.

I miss Kristen Perry talking on the forums about sylvari style and design. Ever since the race sub-forums were archived she has been absent. I also really miss the sylvari sub-forum.
