Melia Antiqua from xenoblade chronicles -filled (1 Viewer)

Is there any artists willing to make a Static Hair Mod for Melia Antiqua from Xenoblade Chronicles? I have yet to find one on here yet. Here is a reference image:
EDIT: Request filled. See linked post

(Link for it too)
I thank you for your effort in advance!

Only the first ref could be used (nothing can be done with the 2nd, the 4th isn't 90° side view and the 3rd has a too low resolution and a polygon/game style that will make an ugly mod).
The problem with this 1st ref is it has a too low resolution to make something good and also that the girl has her head tilted forward, so her hair doesn't flows vertically.
The consequence is that the strands have to be redrawn, something that "artists" do not do usually, because what we use to call "artists" here are barely "copiers" that just trace over references and do not redraw entire hairstyles.

In conclusion, if you want to improve your chances to get an hair mod for this character, find better refs.
Read the Reference Shot Guide carefully to help you in your search.
Good luck.

PS to old forum members : I am not back into business here, I was just bored and took a look at the forum...

Hm...Ok then. I found some more fanart from the side. Would any of these be acceptable as references?

PeriFucker : always get the highest resolution refs (search with Google images), this is very important for modders.
Here, only the 5th ref may be used, but a better version can be found here: https://78.media.tumblr.com/57377970de11449a2d6a8c208e044b5a/tumblr_o21fcjbEE81tf57rso1_1280.png

Ok then. Should I replace my other references with this one?

You should put this link in the first post at least, but the best is to show your refs using image tags, not just giving links.

All this is written in the Ref Shot Guide and Requesting Rules, so read them carefully, it will save time for you, but more importantly for modders that may spend hours making a mod, free of charge !

I did read both before, but I guess I didn't read it carefully enough.

I had some time, was also bored and the ref is good, so I made a cutout:

Melia's hair and custom data​

Here are the improved ref (using waifu2x) and the cutout if someone wants to really trace the hair and make something better:

Spoiler: Refs
