I had just rewatched Kung Fu Panda 1 and the hat idea was definitely inspired by it and the presence of the mandatory badass cape.
Strongly recommend the first 2 movies if you haven't seen them yet.
Very cheesy but very sweet message to them and amazing action-comedy sequences comparable to Jackie Chan's work.
Looking forward to watch 2nd one with friends too, though I forget if 3 was any good or too heavy on introducing marketable babies.

Always like doing DND OCs still. I'm gonna try DMing a new campaign, most likely will end up sharing art I get/make for it too if we can keep the game going, so obliterate the spamication bell for that


Also, went back for fun and compared how I used to draw capes years ago

I think it's a good reminder that skill takes time not talent and keep in mind I started drawing in 2012 but very irregularly so even now, it's definitely possible to catch up and go beyond much quicker than I learned to draw :)
