But I'm asking why that is. What makes it so appealing? Just jumps out at me. Otherwise love it. As a writer, I get stylistic choice. I just wouldn't ever go for this one. So I'm trying to understand.

There's nothing to understand. It's just a style of drawing, to show the face while behind hair. Whether you think that looks good or not, that's just personal preference.

Like I said, was curious if one could explain. Like, the attempted symmetry? A need/inability to visualize whole face? Fair that you can't or won't explain. The fact you like facial shapes colored mostly like the hair (seeming to float on/be attached to it) that is covering them from our angle may even be un-explainable. And as you said, don't need to be. Your char/pic, go for it.

What turns me on so much about creampies and impreg? I suppose it could be hard to quantify certain aspects, and easily do so for others. What makes feet so inspiring for Siroc? Who knows? Maybe Siroc, maybe not.

The eyes and eyebrows are the key to expressive features. They can make a smile feel sincere, reveal a sadness otherwise hidden, or drive home the fear that strikes a character. To hide them can be such a shame, so why not show them off when it improves, rather than distracts from, the emotional impact of a piece?

Fair nough. The problem for me is I get those from the eye/brow shown. The bits in the hair distract, for me. It is just an eyebrow, floating in hair. Like...what?

Love that the debate was about an eye + eyebrow behind hair and not the whole... yanno. Black person as a monkey thing
