I'm considering my design choices for Daichi's scales. I don't really know if I like the look he has already of if it's too stereotypically anime. I tried some new cuts while practicing some expressions and I wand some feedback. These are the descriptions:

1: The original cut. Big, bushy, and he has the lil pieces that hang over his shoulders.
2: A shorter cut, which shows off the shape of his head a little more.
3: His scales are long on the top of his head in three broad rows while the sides of his head are bare.
4: Bald and sleek.
5: Same as 3, but with his scales still hanging over his shoulders.
6: Bald but he has the scales over shoulders.
7: He retains his usual look, but he gained a tuft of long scales over his forehead
8: His scales are slick and they are only sticking out on the back along with his shoulder scales
9: Same as 8, but without shoulder scales
