i haven't posted anything here in awhile, but I'll probably be posting more considering i want to move away from sprites for awhile and focus more on bigger pieces.

anyways, I'd like some help with this since i haven't done anything like this in awhile.

I think the volume of hair is too small for this head.

hair is all pillow rendered instead of having a clear light source. makes it looks wrong.

To make it more anime, are you going to add that lighter shine that wobbles through the hair?

Also, maybe tweak the hair just a bit. Not sure on what, but I know it needs something.  :P

The hairs do not seem pillow shaded to me.

You might want to get rid of that horizontal line on the right which is separating the two back spikes from the other hairs. I think it ruins the haircut.

The hair looks a lot cooler and refined now, methinks.

About volume, i mean this:

And on back, more small curl.
If you highlights from left-middle (or left-top) than opposite side of hair must have be more shadow, now light on head just from top (I don't fix that).
