Third time doing this style of hair detailing, still took way too long to warrant doing it for every poster. ~14 hours in total, probably 9 hours of which was spent on just the hair and tail.

I took more of an inspiration from PrinceOracle with his Gmod artworks done in a similar (but better) style to this. Go check his artworks out, they’re all amazing.
