Here's what I've been up to recently.
A WIP of Lina's hair for the unofficial Dota 2 competition - September.

Here's the highpoly, sculpted in zbrush.

Then to lowpoly and bake + base color.

And finally, rigged. Here's a shot in-game.

Can barely see the cavity details in game, sad max. Will try to enhance it when I get the texture done.
Hope you guys liked it!
That's it for now. Stay tuned for the next update

I'm not familiar with Lina's rig, but is there a bone or something for the hair on her left side? Otherwise, I think it looks kinda awkward just sticking out from the side. I think the idea of the hair is good, but it feels like you started detailing too early before getting the shape of the hair correct. It's just not flowing into the braids correctly. Maybe look at Chemical Alia's work with Mirana and classical sculpture to really see what sort of forms and shapes can be pulled off.

Hair examples:

I liked your Tusk set a lot! I hope these will help you out

That sled should probably have the blades facing outwards instead of cutting into his back.

@Drywall - thanks for the critics and also references. Yes, there are 2 extra rig for the 2 strands of hair so it'll be floating and waving in game. It's not exactly a braid, hmm, I'll try to post an image for your reference soon! Anyway, will keep those points in mind for the next one! Nice portfolio btw

@Thnk - to be honest a lot of ppl commented that way and i have tried to put it the other way round. Doesn't really fit well though. It'll look even weird cos the handle will be intersecting with the head and shoulders.
