Reference:
Old zelolee image

It's a very old reference and zelolee has put his Twitter on protected mode so I can't get a direct link.

Besides the fact that this project is based off that reference (though not exactly a literal interpretation), it's also an unexpected "bad ending" sequel to #92 - the evil eye. Look closely and you'll see what I mean. I didn't plan that but it just felt organic.

Maintaining consistency between four different permutations of the same image (presence of the crystal, hairy/hairless goat) was actually much more tedious than I expected. You have to keep in mind that's basically four different runs through post-production for one particular shot, and while I can reuse certain visual effects, it's still a lot of work. Just making a note of how complicated that was.

Mr. Hornyfang's hairy textures are doing god's work though. At first I had to adapt them to a brown Orc, and now that I've managed to get them working on this goat, I'm pretty sure I can slap them on whichever race that needs a bit of extra hair here and there. I still prefer a smoothly chested goat, though let's just say, I've had my "fun" playing with his hairy chest too.
