    It confused me at first, but I like how the Pesterquest sprites are in a bunch of subtly different artstyles, with John, Karkat and Roxy both being on the far 'cartoony' end. It suits their personalities, as opposed to Dave, Rose, Aradia etc who have thinner outlines and a more 'flat' look.

      roxy’s sprite has an interesting depth to it’s artstyle. outlines of greatly varying thickness, tending toward the thicker side, with more lines in general. it’s not quite “cartoony,” per say.

    Roxy's talksprite hair controversy aside, all of the writers and artists who worked on PESTERQUEST, FRIENDSIM, and all other stories that tread/alternate between canon, non-canon, and outside canon all have their own fingerprint inputs unto the plot, character info, and background designs. It's alright to disregard or accept an official staff's interpretation of a character for this reason.

    looking back no clue why people were losing their minds over her hair like compared to other sprites her halr here is one of the more accurate ones. literally all they did was make it curlier which. Okay? jades hair is actually floor length in her sprites. theres room for artist interpretations

    when I was first making head canons for homestuck I always assumed roxy had curly hair. It fits her zany personality and not to mention the fact that there is a literal swirl in her hair, possible indicating the matter. I don't really see why people are hating on it, it's really cute and adds flavor to the roster of sleek hair.

  • @justiceross8511
    @justiceross8511 Před 4 lety +486

    A lot of hate here about her hair here for some reason, so I just want to say that I actually really, really love it? I love her curls. There were two ways to go here, and gelled straight hair that was just propped up for the aesthetic would have been really easy, but I adore her curls here. There's really not any other character we get with hair like that in all of homestuck, and it's adorable on her.

    • @jjjx32
      @jjjx32 Před 4 lety +24

      the problem in this case is largely the style. if done in a more bouncy style, the curls would be great. in vfs, it doesn't work as well at all.

      i feel like her hair is good on a lot of ways, but it was done sloppy, the linework on the hair even seems messier than all of roxy, the shadows seem off too
      its a bruh moment, all it could take is a bit of minor tweaks here and there to make it look fine, for me tho, i personally think the artist had sum migraine while sleep deprived when finishing it

    I just realized she's supposed to have curls! Its cool as curly girl but maybe if the tips were so pointy and more rounded and sharp? Curly hair is so full and fluffy it could have been more soft around the edges. But I guess that's why it's been throwing people off. Roxy's still a cutie though ❤️

    Honestly, I don't get why people dislike her hair. She's a person who grew up alone 400 years in the future with nothing but hairless carapacians for company, and she's both an alcoholic and also isn't exactly a person who cares as much about how she comes across compared to Dirk (Because they're in similar situations). Why would her hair NOT be the mess that it is here? Her hair being neatly, perfectly made and straight would make no sense for her character at this point in the story.

      @palladianaltruist8047 Před 4 lety +18

      The problem is not that it is a mess. The problem is the amount of corners and otherwise jagged edges that could not possibly exist in hair unless made purposefully that way. Being a mess most certainly does not do to your hair what it did to Roxy's.

      @palladianaltruist8047 Před 4 lety +34

      @@meemaw-lao0wk I've never understood why people headcanon them as any natural human race. Kanaya first described Rose upon seeing her for the first time as having "Skin as white as a ghost! (sic)", meaning not they are Caucasian (or any race at all) and are instead an actual pitch-white tone, and Dave's rap at olive garden literally contains a line calling himself "racially ambiguous (sic)".
