Would love to have this done if anyone would be so kind. Tried to get as many side view shots as I could.
Nicely done. My only criticism is that
you're supposed to upload your images offsite and link them, instead of attaching them directly to your post.

This image is a very good reference; it
fits nicely onto the head template. We've lost a tiny bit of the hairstyle to cropping, but it can easily be extrapolated. Please let me know how you'd like to proceed:
- dynamic version
- if you're willing to vector-trace the image then I'll animate it for you and publish a dynamic-hair SWF
- the hairstyle would include 7-8 independent hair strands, which would sway back and forth as the girl moves around
- the dynamic animation includes the bangs -- they would bounce slightly when she nods or ducks her head
- I can provide instructions and guidance on how to use the tracing software, and setup a bare-bones SVG file with the layers plotted out
- you'd still need to put in some work. I'd expect 20-60 minutes, depending on the level of fidelity that you're aiming for
- a few days later (when the animation work is mostly complete), I'd ask you to test the SWF and provide feedback: "it's too bouncy", "the bangs aren't long enough", "it looks bizarre when she's upside-down"
- static version
- if you're unwilling to trace the image, or if you don't want it to be animated, then just say so
- I can trace the hairstyle in Flash and publish a static SWF
- static hairstyles have better compatibility with animtools, but they're less interesting to look at -- and they sometimes feel "fake" because they're perfectly rigid
- hooded version???
- there's only one image showing the hood - and it's a poor reference (bad cropping, bad shading, too small)
- either the static of dynamic SWF could potentially include a hood. I'm not eager to do so (because it would hide the work we've done on the hair!) but I'm willing to consider it if the hood is vital to the character.
- if you want the hairstyle SWF to include a hood option, then you'll need to find additional reference images. If you don't care about the hood then we can proceed as-is.
