>>25988622The hair is fucked up too anon, in fact the whole piece has barely any indication of shading, because it's plainly clear the person who made this has no idea how to shade. Since they don't know what the fuck they're doing, they're afraid to commit to any visible value changes as it'd expose how nonsensical their dogshit shading is. So you get a drawing that looks flat shaded, with a couple barely noticeable higlights that make less sense the more you think about them.
Notice how the individual braids, despite being a simple row of tiny spherical volumes, barely have any indication of individual form. They're just a big halo around her head, with a little dark outline around the whole shape (it's fucking pillow shaded, for real). The rest of the shading is "UHH TOP OF THE TORSO IS LIGHT AND BOTTOM IS DARK, MAYBE???" with some random ass highlights (like those on the apron).
There's also zero anisotropic highlights on the new hair features because the artist probably doesn't understand what the fuck they are, they're used to just see people draw the same "ring" of highlights every anime girl has on her bangs, and went "uhh braids? idk what to do with that, that's a weird shape"
The values used for what little shading is present are *bad*, there's no hue, temperature or saturation change between the darks and the lights, it's literally the same color, with the brightness brought up or down. This is the kind of beginner shading/coloring mistake that KIDS ON DEVIANTART MAKE TUTORIALS TO TEACH PEOPLE ABOUT.
Fuck's sake, there ain't even any contact shadows/AO on ANYTHING! (Besides her boob crack, weirdly). Who picked this artist? How much did they charge?
The design is also terrible. It's a fucking schizo color palette, just look at how better integrated the colors and values in
>>25987936 are relative to each other compared to the ACTUAL OUTFIT. I don't have much criticism on the design of the dress, but the jacket is an affront to pretty much every design principle out there. A big unreadable blob of a single color, with three tiny white accents thrown in random places. There's no shape consistency, no 70/20/10 distribution, it doesn't even LOOK like anything, it jumps straight from "this is the vague and general shape of a jacket" to "super tiny isolated lace detail".
I don't know who drew this outfit, but it must be a completely new artist because I've never seen a Holo with an outfit this badly executed in terms of pure art fundamentals.
