So why did her hair go from curly to straight?

Is there even an answer other than "the artist felt like it"?

I'm drawing lewds of her and I can't decide which hairstyle to go with...
>>
>>81183398
What's wrong with her foot?
>>
>>81183398
Big curly hair was in during the 80's and the 80's are over?
>>
Probably happened around the time that artists shrank her by a good 6 or so inches.
>>
>>81183461
Weird position with the heel and the asteroid?

Her feline-based Tamaranian physiology.

Artist oversight?

We may never know.

its turning towards us?

and we shouldn't need to answer OP question because of how obvious it is
>>
The 80s had to end sometime.
>>
>>81183672
Fuck, man, I miss the 80's-90's GLAMAZON era.
>>
>>81183398
Because trends die and comics have to stay modern. Same reason Superman doesn't have the mullet anymore. Though I personally feel the 80's hair should have stayed, kinda like how it's not the 50's anymore but Superman still wears the undies. Or at least he used to a few years ago.
>>
Go with poofy hair because there isn't enough of that for Kory lewds
>>
I think the redesign in general is meant to be closer to the cartoon version
>>
>>81183786
That doesn't really answer OP's question. They changed her hair long before this redesign.
>>
I'm just wondering if it was something incredibly stupid and mundane like.

"Ooooh, girl's day out! Let's all get our hair done!" and then they just never bothered to change it back.
>>
I can't answer your question but I can clear up a misconception.

>Is there even an answer other than "the artist felt like it"?
Whatever happened, it happened because the editor felt like it.

At Marvel and DC, no changes are allowed to happen to characters without the editors' permission, and most changes are the editors' ideas anyway.
>>
>>81183398
Perms are dead and buried, and it looks like they were inspired by the cartoon.
>>
>>81183960
Things like hair style, color, etc are not that strongly enforced. I don't think there's a specific reason.
>>
Because the far more popular cartoon did it.

No one will miss 80's hair Slutfire.
>>
>>81183398
Idk OP but a nice looking red head with curly hair is probably my fav look.
>>
>>81183398
Do wavy hair.
>>
>>81183398
Big hair like that isn't popular anymore. If you want a canon reason she changed it herself because she's conscious of her appearance.
If Star went around like that in 2016 she'd be laughed out of Hawaii.
>>
>>81183398

Same reason my sister's did. It wasn't the style anymore
>>
>>81183398
Because big hair is trash.

Rogue looks better without big hair too. FACT.
>>
Wow, people have strong opinions on this, huh?

This a skub/anti-skub topic?
>>
>>81184443
fag
>>
>>81183398
it started with the New 52, the hair was still a half head tall in Teen Titans volume 3 and when she slumming it with Animal Man

What the hell happened to her eyes? The large solid green orbs were so alien and sexy.
>>
>>81183398
Use straight
>>
>>81185235
>>81185330
It's a better outfit then what she had in her ongoing but... seriously... STOP TAKING AWAY THE FUCKING CLEAVAGE YOU STUPID COWARDLY FUCKS.
>>
>>81185387
Yeah, this always bothered me considering she's supposed to be a nudist.
>>
>>81185387

if it was because they where cowardly she wouldn't be even pantless. Quit being a bitch about cartoon boobie
>>
>>81183398
that curly hairl looks like a pain in the ass to draw over and over
>>
>>81185477
Good thing I only have to draw it once. Must be shit to animate, though. I can see why teen titans made it straight for the show.
>>
>>81185387
Poor you, cant jack all because of a line
>>
>>81185235
I like it.
>>
>>81183398
Yo match the Teen Titans cartoon?

Drawing became lazy and formulaic with heavy use of photoshop tools
>>
>>81183398
>So why did her hair go from curly to straight?
She broke up with Dick.

I generally prefer curly haired Kory too, but that part in New 52 when her hair is all wet and slicked back.
Oh jeeze, oh boy.
>>
>>81183478
But the floof lives on in our hearts.
>>
>>81186525
Not even me. Drawing is going fine, I barely even know how to use photoshop tools.

He is right about the formulaic, though.
>>
>>81186700
Yeah, she may have broken up with that Grayson guy, but she'll never truly break up with dick...

It's a shame they left one of Star's key personality features out of the Teen Titans cartoons.
>>
Because it stopped being the 80s.
>>
>>81183398
Not fashionable anymore, and in the cartoon she had straight hair.
>>
What direction are they taking her in after the current run ends? I like Teen Titans-meets-comics Starfire.
>>
>>81185387
Go watch some porn or something to calm down
>>
>>81190700
She's back in Titans, so going by past patterns with Dick and Jason... She's probably going to /ss/ Damian
>>
>>81185235
i like it. her boobs looks ridiculous though.
>>
>>81185330
pretty cool. Not loving raven and wally though.
>>
>>81183398
Why not a combination? Like curly hair that isn't super curly or super straight?
>>
>>81185387
Her character doesn't need it anymore.

Why do they keep adding bits to Damian's outfit?

First it was the scalloped cape, which was fine.
Then it was those yellow bits on his sides, and now more complicated guantlets and a retarded belt and some sort of skirt.

THEY GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

Raven at least looks better than she has been since the Reboot.

It wasn't actually a bad design, and I rather liked it. But it had so little in common with any of Raven's other costumes that it was hard to see her as the same character.
>>
Draw her with straight silky hair because it's easier to wrap around your dick
>>
>>81191606
Why would you want to wrap hair around your dick?

What is DC Rebirth? I dont keep up with everything. is it a reboot of things like nu52?
>>
>>81191854
oh racism!

its like, even though they are superheroes and save the day and shit, blacks still can't hang out with whitey at the malt shop.
>>
>>81191854
Because a new costume is getting to be so tired a justification for a new #1 that even editors realize it.

So "is a girl now/changed race" is yet another tired attempt to get a sales boost.
>>
>>81192551
But no one reads comics about blacks
See the fact no one gives a shit about Static or Cyborg
>>
>>81192699
Maybe it has something to do with static and cyborg being shit characters, being black has nothing to do with that
>>
>>81192801
Yeah, Cyborg is boring as fuck and Static only had one good series.

Luke Cage proves the above anon's statement wrong.
>>
>>81193360
And Black Manta
>>
>>81193360
The only people who like Luke Cage are cucks

>>81192801
That's because black characters are inherently unrelatable
>>
>>81183398
new starfire needs to show her feet more
>>
>>81191522
Too bad we can't really see her oufit in that picture. I'd like to see it in full but so far it seems to be a mixture of her old outfit and the one you posted.

>team
Hey wait wait, so is the Titans team with Dick here the Nu52's original Teen Titans and the one with Damian here is pretty much the next generation and they are basically recreating Teen Titans vs. Justice League here?
Have they de-aged Raven now too?
>>
>>81192141
Not an actual reboot, but there will probably be mass retconning since the goal is to make things more appealing to pre-Flashpoint readers..
>>
>>81192801
Static was a great character whose tv show was wasted. He could have easily made a comeback while that was still on, but instead they waited years and gave him a confusing piece of shit during their big reboot.
>>
>>81183398
modern comics a shit so to me it's just 'curly hair = comic' but it makes sense that alien hair might change texture as energy flows through it. yknow, like a super saiyajin. hell half the time star's hair looks like it IS energy
>>
I'm pretty surprised this thread survived for being so laser focused in scope.

Not that anybody has answered the OP question anyway.
>>
>>81183398
Flat irons exist, anon. That's not even a comic book thing. You can straighten hair in real life too.
>>
>>81200141
Because they wanted the cartoon audience.

There's your answer.
>>
>>81195133
Raven and Beast Boy are doomed to forever be teenagers
>>
>>81183398
>Fashion changes
>You gotta keep Starfire hot
>You change her hair to fit changing trends

That's how I see it.

A foreign concept, I know.
>>
>>81205611
Yet Star is still busty?

Mark my words, it's gonna be one of those retcones anon above mentioned and they change it to fit the new movie. I mean why else have Star be there at all?
>>
>>81183398
Who's the blonde with the boob envy?
>>
Because George Perez gave every character curly hair
i guess he liked drawing it
>>
>>81184443
>Rogue looks better
It's hard to imagine that being possible.
>>
>>81200178
It doesn't work well on cat hair. It just stinks and burns.
