Recently finished commission for Doni of his Magpie Dragon for VRChat, the pose being based on https://furrylife.online/media/stra.....on.181460/full .
When hashing out the details for this commission, there was only one thing I was insistent on, I was making the hat. And it really transforms the feel of the character, supposedly, from something a little scary to something a little goofy. I never saw it as 'scary' myself, or goofy for that matter, but hey, positive result either way.
(A raytraced render with a subdiv smooth modifier applied to the geometry, this is not a accurate representation of what this mesh looks like in game as far as poly count or lighting are concerned. It is not too far away from this as far as the character looks however.)
