That heron wig is gorgeous! Shame its such a funny colour. One day there will be gorgeous short wigs in natural colours! All the pretty ones are odd colours that i find hard to work with.
The longer wigs seem to be of lower quality than the shorter ones though. Inconsistent lineart, light source from all over and washy colours seem to make them look old and as though they need a revamp already. Shame as the item images are so nice!

Heron and Roadrunner are the best (but then again, I'm prone to wanting short, masculine hairstyles).

What in the blue blazes is going on with the shading on cash shop items lately? These are some of the worst offenders yet. The lineart on the macaw wig in particular is much too thick and dark, making the shading look even more bizarre and like a hair-hat instead of a wig. As for the bird of paradise wig, novel intentions! But the texture on the bang/main hair is entirely too smooth and shiny and the lines of the shading are going in the wrong direction, making it look like the HA is wearing a bad drawstring half wig.
I will say though that the Heron hair is nicely done (which is probably what's making the others look so bad). That heron. Such a show-off.

If only they were shaded and lined better, I'd rush to get them. I like the concept and styles, but the overlay art is rather disappointing.

Saw the items and read the bottom line wrong, thought it said they were new wings, hovered over and realised they were wigs, got disappointed. I like the heron one though.

Some of them do look a little...old, wearable art wise, but I do see maybe three that I love as is (that heron one is amazing, I require it and I don't even do male wigs that much).
Only one that really, really looks unusable (to me) is that macaw one although I do dig the style the artist was going for. c:

The item artwork looks great on all of them, but the wearables themselves seem old. They look like old art that needs revamped already.
ESPECIALLY for the Cash Shop. Weird. :(

Or at least I thought you were talking about the hairstyle. If you weren't, I'm sorry for misinterpreting your post.

@Wolf_Spirit - Ouch. I wasn't trying to be malicious with that post. Just joking, really. And I don't know who Jennifer is, but those "dumb gifs" were Beyonce.
But if you want a real example of how that hair could work, here's some Alicia Keys:
I think this is the style the artist was going for, and I appreciate that they're trying new things. I do think there's some issues with the shading (mainly that the lighting is inconsistent), but I don't have a problem with the style itself, which is the part you were complaining about.

Wow. I had some high hopes for these wigs. What is going on with the art department? How did these get approved?

No thanks. I would've liked them if they had been done with the thinner lines like most of the items on the site. The lineart is too thick which is a shame because they're otherwise nice.
Hopefully this time I won't get a lecture from the artist for saying so.

I like the raven and swallow! Though i agree with others about some of the lines being too thick, and some wigs look a little sticker-ish or painted. Other than that these are great :) it can't be too easy to make the wigs look like the birds!

I love them. I think they are imaginative and original, plus they really do represent the bird mentioned very well. :)
For once I am happy that not everything that is released looks exactly like all the other monotonous CW wigs.

ah these are so beautiful!! so upset i cant afford the road runner one. colors are gorgeous and i love the hair styles, especially roadrunner, heron, and raven! the artist did such a good job!!

These look like Subeta art 5 years ago, with the thick lines and weird shading. It's really unfortunate, especially when you compare these wigs to CW ones. Most CWs that I see look glossy, not shiny, and flowy and natural. These look like they've sprayed an entire bottle of hair spray on them and as such are very stiff and odd looking.

so my favourites have to be the pigeon, the heron, and the peka glade wigs! omg the bounciness of the pigeon wig's curls are just gorgeous!! and the peka glade wig is the prettiest in terms styling, not just because it reminds me of beyonce lol. but my fave is defs the heron; what a perfect hairstyle for a handsome drac or smth sinister like that.
plus, i also am in love with the bird theme: super cute!
ultimately though, a lot of the constructive criticism people have been throwing around is p valid imo. i think the macaw is the most concerning but really the only thing that is throwing me off so much about it is just the thickness of the lineart; otherwise it's actually quite a lovely wig and i don't even like rainbow hair all that much. the little curl on the right side of the HA's head is really cute. i guess maybe one other tiny issue with this wig is maybe just the flow of the hair at the bottom. otherwise good job!!

Lineart is a bit thick on some of these, and it's making them look a bit dated :c I like the variety of shapes and textures, though!

They look wonderful, however if you could thin out the outline they'd be perfect. You did a great job though artists. Thanks for all of your hard work. c:

I'm going to agree with the majority here and say that a lot of these look like old art. The lineart is just way too thick on some of these and everything is so shiny. Even the wig I like, Pigeon, is really shiny and I'm hesitant to buy it. The raven colors look really nice but the way it's styled looks a little odd to me, it just feels very heavy.

These are beautiful! The artists did a great job drawing inspiration from the birds these wigs are based on.

The only one I really like is the Raven. The others, not so much. I wish I could say I love the Macaw as well, but like many people have pointed out, it seems so off.

I like the drawings and some of the colors but not the wigs themselves. So won't need to use up any CSC for these. Especially with July collection coming out tomorrow. Need CSC for July (CWs in trades). These would be nice for TCs though.

Very disappointed with the wigs. None of them look that great. The item overlays are good, but that's about it (I have no interest in the male wigs)

Love the macaw colors but....i cant see spending cash for the quality. It looks plastic and...off.
0
Luck
And then I read they were wigs and combined with seeing the overlays and reading everyone else's critques, it's just disappointment all around. The Macaw one has a nice color scheme and style but I agree with others, it looks plastic or stickery. :(

Don't get me wrong, the majority look pretty solid. The Macaw, Bird of Paradise, and Vulture are the ones that really have issues.

The art quality is usually amazingly consistent around here but some of these really stand out in a bad way. Sorry it has to be said, but some of these look like first-round HA items that haven't been revamped yet.

Wow, the hairstyles really captured each bird they represent really well! I really like them! I'm a bit indifferent to some of the overlay art; they're similar to previous CS releases (recently retired ones too if I recall) so I'm not too bothered by it.

Wolf_Spirit
Even in that dumb gif you posted Jennifer's hair isn't so glued down that it looks unrelated to both parts of the hairstyle.
0
Wolf_Spirit
@Speiro did you even take the time to look at it? Apparently not. If you did, you would see that they don't flow. There needs to be some correlation between both parts. Either the back needs to be a little more sleek or the top a little more frizzy. The way it looks now is a cut and paste job of two completely different styles. But no, apparently you just don't see these kjnds of things. Or choose not to.

Kind of hit and miss with these hairs - I love the items though, they'd be great for a TC. :D

pandemonium
hate to say it cause the styles are interesting but the lack of inner lines and overly shiny almost dodgeburny shading makes a couple of these look extremely sticker effect-y.
It concerns me that these are cash shop items when I doubt some of these would come close to getting accepted as CWs

I agree the male hairs are awesome. The female...not so much? The shading is way too shiny with thick old lineart. I do like the pigeon and raven, but the others are just soooooooo shiny D; And not in a good way like the heron. The macaw especially is like plastic.

Oh dear what went wrong with those macaw and vulture wigs. I saw the ci's and had super high expectations, then I hovered....
Anyway i'll probably buy some of these on the long run for my bird tc and maybe they pidgeon for wearing because that's the only one where the shading seems to be really on point.

If they were CWs, some of them would have been denied for sticker-effect :/
Really would have loved some loose streaks especially on the female ones.

This. Quite honestly, I'd be hesitant on even buying these from subq let alone the cash shop :/I am not tempted to spend real money on these, I kind of expect a higher standard for cash shop items and I think these kinda miss the mark.

I also like the macaw and the pigeon wigs, and i consider getting the bird of paradise as well. that hair is really unique :)

I like all of these except the macaw.
What happened there? Looks like a sticker wig and the lineart appears thicker in some areas.
Heron and roadrunner though *____* will def be buying later this week

The guy ones are great, but I definitely think a bunch of the girl ones need more work, like the Macaw and Vulture. The Macaw one looks really pixelated, especially in the ponytail section, and I think the lines are too thick with the Vulture one.

the pages themselves look so nice, but I have to agree with others because I'm disappointed by the wigs. the first one just looks so stiff and plastic-y, as well as many of the others there. I love the inspiration behind them, but I won't be buying them :c

yeah i'm gonna be honest… these are pretty disappointing as far as quality goes. the artwork looks incredibly outdated - the hair looks like it's made of plastic and the lineart is way too thick. reminds me of those CWs where you can't help but wonder how on earth they got accepted. i do quite like the pigeon one, though.

flamboyantCuttlefish
I'm not an artist, so I have a poor eye for shading and such, but it definitely feels like there are some perspective issues in these. I really like the swallow one, but I'd like it much much better if the hair at the forehead didn't feel so...off.

The male and female wigs look like two completely different styles... the male wigs match up to recent art and are really wonderful (heron wow talk about sexy where can I get a dude with some hair like that unf), but I'm not so sure about the female wigs, which is sad because I would probably buy some of them otherwise.

I really want to like these due to concept, but they're so shiny with thick outlines... they look like puffy sticker hair in a lot of places :c I could still see myself messing with them, since they're ultimately novelty pieces anyways, but dang, Cash Shop.
CWs have already stretched quality and acceptableness in all kinds of directions, this just furthers that.

The items are absolutely beautiful and I'd collect them just for the item art, but the overlays confuse me. Some of the art looks a lot like older Subeta art-- it's a very distinct style change and I'm a bit confused as to what happened.

I love the item art, especially the Macaw and Bird of Paradise one, gorgeous!
As for the wigs, I wouldn´t wear them. I like hair which looks more realistic with finer line art and wisps much more.

These are... odd. And yeah, they're weirdly blurry in places, pixelated in others, oddly shaded, the Vulture one is especially chunky looking. I love the concept, but between the lower quality and the fact that they're CSC I def won't be buying. :(

These are pretty, def agree with the previous comments about the wig art, but can I add a few positives: 1) beautiful and much loved as tc items and more importantly 2) thanks so much for including a poofy/kinky hair style, nice to feel included! Never stop adding more lol

Psychedelia
I do like the idea of these, and see some with potential for greatness, but, not sure how I'd like using them overall with the odd way some of these are drawn. The macaw one is absolutely gorgeously colored, I adore it, and the swallowtail is a masterpiece of loveliness. The final product, however, doesn't seem as clear as it could be, like the dyed blue wig in the blue building, fucking gorgeous coloring and concept, slightly lacking actual finished product.

I like the colors in the female wigs but I wish they were as well executed as the male wigs so I would be tempted to buy them. I especially like the colors in the Delphi wig but I'll never own it as it looks too frumpy to me. (*sorry if this is rude it is just my honest opinion*).

This is such a fantastic idea! There needs to be about 1000 more bird-related items. When I first saw them, I thought for sure they'd be backgrounds for some reason. The item art is just stunning, wish I could have it almost without the attached wigs! What if... more bird books. c;

I mostly make male HAs so not dissapointed with the wigs. I do agree some of the female ones look a little off. (macaw and paradise bird specially)
Also are these readable? Since some scientific drawings may contain descriptions or details.

Interesting concept, but the art quality could use some improvement, in my opinion. Lineart is too thick, the shading is kind of blurry. Looks like the same artist that did the controversial dark blue and light blue wig from a few months ago. The art looks dated by subeta's standards.

The bird of paradise one looks...not great. It's like too entirely different wigs slapped into one. The art style doesn't even look the same :(
