It's an original design that's not based off of anything. No references, just what I've seen in my mind. :D Thx for the honest opinion, constructive criticism, and tips!
The mesh is part of the sleeves added into the overlayer to give a 3D, loose, thin mesh feel, so that you can see the skin underneath.
I'm curious on what you mean by the hair in the helm layer not being to your taste.
For me, the extra overlayer of purple bangs is supposed to add a semi-fluffy 3D effect.
