High Guardian Spice - Tumblr: The CalArt Anime

The hair makes it look like they have giant, outward foreheads.
They're trying to replicate the '80s hair but there's literally no volume to the hair because there's no signs there's actual strands of hair. It's just flat coloring reminiscent of the 2000s tween years, but even the 2000s had some concept of what hair should look like.

It's like the first picture is trying to imitate Rumiko Takahashi and the second one is trying to imitate Leiji Matsumoto.
I thought of Ranma 1/2 in the first image, yeah, and that's what I'm thinking of in terms of the hair.

oh goody we're back on this spice shit.
Those images Raye posted look like they were drawn by two different people.

Blonde girl(?) looks like she has a brown tiara. Missed it on the first view but look at the blue girl's fucking hand! :story:

It's pointless now but I think the girls could've benefited from having the eybrows cartoonishly over their hair and not realistically underneath it. Eyebrows provide 50%-80% of facial expressions. With bangs overtaking that much of their faces and not cheating on the eyebrows, I believe we'll see some interesting facial expressions when if this thing comes out.

I'll bet the artist did that because of the "eyebrows under the hair" rule. The bangs had to look higher to show the pink girl's sad expression. Bitches have more hair than a fucking Jem character.
 
Oh yeah, the Rumiko Takahashi influence is definitely there with the puni-chibi style she's famous for (even though that was mostly thanks to the anime adaptations, but whatever). Too bad that the poses are uninspired and boring to look at. You're supposed to be able to see their personalities no matter what style they're in, but there's no substance to be had, just "uwu".

Guess I'll stick to Maison Ikkoku, at least you know what you're getting.
