I'm pretty sure that the first words that jump into mind are usually "cute" and "sweet" and "gosh, is he nice"... and I agree!
BUT furthermore, I like how practical, efficient and believable the clothing is.
Designing clothing (especially for fantasy creatures) is really, really difficult... I can tell.
And being some kind of "medieval nerd" myself... I can say you did some great research or you've got some great knowledge here when it comes to attire and clothing.
The different layers of cloth work pretty well together and add up perfectly.
AND I love the two little details: Hot chocolate and the little "Santa cap" on the tip of his tail... that's really cool!
All in all: A splendid design!

Thank you, that is a mighty compliment!
I think drawings are just a snapshot of what we find fascinating so it's always nice to hear when it also resonates with other people. Besides learning about history and how culture can be found in even the most mundane places like attire, I love seeing designs being propped up by cohesion! It hints at a utility other than just looking cool for the viewer, like there's a world that's spinning even after we look away from the page. Some see just a pair of old hose, we see a portal to another world, haha.
Plus, I love figuring out ergonomics for fantastical creatures :D
Thank you for your kind words!
