Should I keep the white line? I added it to make the transition between black and grey more interesting, but it kinda takes away from the vulture aesthetic. The actual tassel details will be changed, but the overall shape will remain, is it excessive tho? The main problem I'm having is the palette, specifically the values, I want to keep the earthy color tones, but they always look too dark/bright, main issue is the scarf. Maybe I should add a pattern to it to make it a little brighter, like with the aforementioned white line.
