Do you have a specific image in your brain that you finagle the options to match, or do you form your image by looking at the options? If that makes any sense.
Some real neat Ow Ree up in this place, I almost feel bad for posting my horned dingus here.
I usually go in with some idea but more often than not they turn out quite differently.
In the case of my Au Ra, I had a plot in mind for him and I had formed an image around a character that fit that concept... and yet I couldn't picture him in my head. Having said that, I knew I wanted a large(therefore tall) and dark character whom looked intimidating but not demonic. I was trying to find a balance between a character I could personally find aesthetically appealing(because I don't tend to like making ugly - by my standards - characters) and yet still threatening.
Hairstyles posed a problem because I wanted something longer but the creator lacks in variety generally speaking, so that was the main issue.... otherwise I was pretty content with the results and they came as close as I can say possible to my not-really-existant mental image, haha.
Edit:
By the way, your character is pretty! Personally I prefer the second hairstyle *nods* ^^
