Hair Modeling and Unwrap
Using Blender 4.3 

Notes
I modeled a symmetrical hairstyle for Jake and then unwrapped all of the hairs onto the usual hair texture I use from https://cicieaaavr.gumroad.com/l/cicihairtex

Now I can go in and make it more asymmetrical and look into using a different hair color rather than all black.

Projection of Concept and Paint
Using Blender 4.3

Notes
The Concept has been projected onto a copy of the mesh and then properly baked on it's correct UV map with low-to-low.
To take less overall time in painting!

It did not end up fraying from the initial concept too much.
After some quick paint overs from friend and applications, I can either move onto the stripes or do some more work.
I may just do the stripes though and see how that feels.
