>>6997623I wish they styled the hair as feathers rather than using actual feathers. Also, I know it's easier said than done, but the long black "tail feathers" are so lifeless and lacking that "umph!" that the phoenix has.
>>6997625The colors kinda bug me but nice concept, the ears, spikes and tail looks great.
>>6997627Wow I really like this, first thought would be a wonderful interpretation for the rams on Animal Crossing (minus the hair parts past the jawline). I don't think the flowers were necessary, but the braids does it for the horns. I like how fluffy and wavy it looks in the back though it's inconsistent with the front bangs. Just my preference though. I like the whole volume of it.
>>6997629I remember seeing this in the progress thread, had to ask to see if it was for this contest! Just beautiful, the construction of the ears and antlers is so clean. It was a good idea to have parts of the blue hair is mixed with the purple antlers. Also, I like how the soft pigtails juxtapose the stiff antlers.
Easy to say who should be eliminated, kind of harder to pick out a winner here...
