The hair can be trickey. I guess you have to try placing those vertice(sp?) where it looks best. Btw before doing the hair I think you should change the face a bit. To be honest, it doesn't really look like vegeta's face so idk if the hair will fit.
Gj though if it's your 2nd.

 

[[Riced]JP]

change the face? maybe give me a drawover so i can see how to make it look more like vegeta. im gonna try to make this as good as i can possibly make it.

 

[Orbit]

It's SSJ but the face are the same imo.
And a normal Vegeta:

Now all you have to do is right click on the front view of your model and select 'Choose Background Image', then you choose one of these. Then you will see it in the back so you can replace some vertice according to it.

UPDATE:
ok this time using actual vegeta ref's from the show (and not ones i drew from mind) i have vegeta's face. im pretty happy with it for now. i still am having a lot of trouble with the hair.

woooott the new gen modlers is learning faster then us :| wtf :|:|:|

well... we DID write them a fresh batch of uber hawtness tutorials

 

[[Riced]JP]

well how about some uber hawtness hair tutorials?

 

[Mr. Phonso]

when i get more experience i might make a hair tutorial myself on how to make ssj hair, since thats one of my specialties :smile:

but i think you should try and go for the hair, see what comes out

btw did u use any tutorials or just make this head from the beginning?

 

[[Riced]JP]

nah i didnt use any tutorials for this.. i just kinda got a feel for milkshape with a couple basic tutorials then played around. this is my second model so im very happy with it so far.

as for the hair.. ive had a couple attempts and i keep throwing them away. ill get it eventually.

 

[|Overlord|]

look's alrite so far , keep modeling away , explore your full modeling knowlege , it's good for someone who just played around with milkshape

UPDATE:
so i got some hair on him... im not happy with it yet but its a start. crits and drawovers are always wonderful.

The hair doesn't really seem to come down into his forehead. The bottom two spikes on the side are different from the rest, and maybe you should bring it forward a bit (the hair).
Anyway nice job on it
