Looks beautiful, though the lineart is a bit thick on it. I also do not care for the strands of hair floating out off the side.

I love the new wig!
Thankfully I had enough points already that I only had to do 4 quests to get it :)

What's with the stray hair things? They're so light and look like messy lineart errors more than stray hairs as I'm thinking they're supposed to?
The gradient is nice but the overall shape of the hair and the thickness of the lineart just don't seem like it will be easy to use.
It's not bad, it just... Could have been better?

I would actually wear this wig though. (Though, not now because I am saving up my BB points to go on a shopping spree one day lol... hard to save up points because the quests are ridic though) I have some really good ideas for it. Why so much hate? Why so rude? So what if it looks like the old style? It's not BAD, it's just different from recent artwork.

By the way, I can see why most people stopped playing BB quests. Did them last night and again just now and both times I could only complete 1 out of 5 quests because she kept asking for expensive items like 300K elixirs. Guess I won't bother with them any more.

I was excited when I first saw this news post and decided I needed to go back to doing BB quests. Until I saw what it looked like and it kind of reminds me of Medusa with the snake hair. Guess I'll be holding onto my BB points for now. Pretty color though.

The reason I used the Victorian wig as an example is that they both look really blocky and old in style. They don't match the current style. The new BB may not look plastic-like in style, but I was moreso going on blocky-ness. The 
could also be compared to the new BB wig. Another blocky style, which, although it flows, doesn't fit the current style (Luna Long Locks, Ramn Hair Coupon, Raver Glow Sticks, So Coy Luscious Locks, Temporary Brown Hair Tint, etc). It was late so I went with the first wig I could find (Victorian) that looked blocky in style. I think the Jazz-age forher is a better example.

Awww I think it very nice of you guys to bring out a new wig! :heart: But the feedback that is given here is meant with the best of hearts by the users...I am sure. New items would be just loved a whole lot more if the art is more subeta-style and not old-school, so it would fit better on a HA :blush:

I don't like it at all but I'll try to word in a some sort of nicer way what exactly I don't like. I hope it makes sense.
- The lines are way too thick.
- Something in the shading seems off, which adds to the really bulky feeling.
- Isn't there supposed to be a light source in the top left? It's hardly visible and it more looks like the source of light comes from the front/front-bottom. But if I recall right from cw guidelines, that's not where the source should be.
- The darker part in the back behind the bangs, I feel like there is something to see? more hair or pig tails or something like that but it's impossible to see because of the lack of shading.
- The shape somewhat confuses me. Are those pigtails on the back of the head that are placed on the shoulders? Shouldn't there be a darker part at the point where the hair bends a bit towards to shoulder? Hard to explain what I mean, but I just placed my hair from a ponytail all the way to my shoulder and it hung a bit back in some curve, and the point where it hangs back is darker.

I'm glad to see more lovely things in the Blue Building, which already has quite a nice selection! I've only recently started taking advantage of the place and wish I'd done so much sooner. I see what people mean about the thick lines, but love it anyway.

Loving the colors and the overall style. I don't think I can pull it off on an avatar though but instead I might use it for a TC. :)

Those two wigs look absolutely nothing alike, Wolf. The only similarities is that they are official Subeta items, and they have heavier lines. The old one looks like it's made of plastic, and the new ones only issue is the lines. It flows nicely.
This artist is great, but on occasion the lines are simply heavy. I don't want to sit here and point and compare, personally. It's something I would much rather do more privately.

I don't see it.The Victorian wig is from a 2008 trunk. This new wig from the BB looks almost identical to it.
Some real feedback though (and this might be mostly opinion), there have been several items released recently that do seem to have heavier lines than most items on-site. I'm not sure why that is, and I mean no disrespect to the artist(s) behind them, but these items do clash somewhat with the rest of Subeta's more recent art. Some notable examples that have stood out to me:
None of these are bad, it's just that -- stylistically -- they don't fit as well as they could.

I don't care for the wig much. I don't want to say "ugly" because it'd make the time taken to make this wig seem unappreciated. It looks like a really, really old style of art that's needing updating O_o
I compare this new wig to THIS:
Elegant Lady Victorian Wig

i like it but the lineart's a little too thick like everyone else's kinda pointed out, it makes the hair look more like it's a non wearable item or in some cases a few of the clothing rather than hair bc of how oddly thick the lines are for hair ig. the shading and colouring is beautiful, the lines are just a lil bit odd
i still rly like it tho.

While the gradient is nice the lines are WAY too thick. The artist really should try to keep more to Subeta's current style, with thin lines.

Oh, wow. That...looks like a much older Subetan art style. The color gradient is very nicely done, but the lineart (especially on the curls inside of the hairstyle) is much too thick for Subeta's current style, imo. The hairstyle itself would be a nice addition if the interior lineart wasn't thick/black, and if there was more detail/shading for individual strands within the curls -- if the overlay hair looked more like the item image.

I don't think the lines are too thick. People must be trippin'. It just looks like its a fluffier style hair. I like it, it reminds me of doll hair.

The idea is so awfully cute, the colors are fucking amazing, holy shit. The colors. I might have let out loud noises. The "look" reminds me of the costume wigs we get around Morostide that while I do like them, I don't particularly care for the "cartoony" feel.

I think this hairstyle is beautiful!! MUST HAVE IT!!
I do agree the lineart is a tad thick, but I also think it works for how dark the hair is near the top, so I'm not complaining.

The lines are a bit thick, but it's so cute. This particular artist just simply needs to work on thinning their lines a bit. Sometimes they are spot on, other times they are a bit too thick.
As for the comments... Wow, people. There is constructive criticism and there's being a cunt.

...I KNEW there was a reason I hadn't spent any of the 700 something points I had in there.
This is adorable...though I do kind of agree the art style looks a tad old compared to some of the ridiculously gorgeous wears we've been treated to lately.
But still...really freaking cute and I LOVE the colors so I'm buying it and using it. :heart:

BLESS U Speiro. I really love this concept. Would be cute to add some bows in the back to go along with the pigtails (not to the item itself, in the wardrobe). The art does look a bit dated, not sure what it is. Maybe the thick lines? For the record I don't think it is ugly at all. I think it is way cute. Users on this site... I swear... smh.

the colors are nice but the way it parts in the front makes it look horrible
and the outlines are blockier than some recent items but it could be worse

I like the concept of the hair, not too sure on the execution though as it does feel rather thick and blocky. I like gradient shading and the pigtails with the long bangs is super cute though.

I see this thing as something with serious potential but the line art and severely separated ends are making it seem dated. Normally I'm not a purchaser of wigs that aren't in natural colors.. but I would have made an exception if it wasn't for that. Lovely shading in lovely colors. Liked the just obvious pigtail sort of sense about it.

Well, I guess it's okay.
But before you add any more items to BB (especially ones worth 250 points) PLEASE update the quests, add them to the widget, and make BB worthwhile overall. :)

Wow. Some of the comments here are way harsh.
I'm not really a fan of the art either, but come on.

The item art was so lovely and I was really, really hoping the overlay would be nice. And again, I'm severly underwhelmed

Nice colors, but the style is rather odd.
Also, the quality of some of the items that have been released recently have had varying quality. Some of the items that seem to be released these days have thick lineart, while other items do not.
