So I’m re-doing some of my Do Not Press The Button (Or You’ll Delete The Multiverse) character models and I have this duck that is kind of inspired by the Companion Cube in Portal. I want to make it as appealing as possible so the players will attach to it and carry it around with them. Which looks better! I’m more partial to the neck tie (because I like wearing them) but what do you guys think?

Bow >> necktie
Thanks, guess I have to change it now
Bow tie looks better.
Bow tie for sure. I suggest raise the hat a little bit so you can see the eyes a bit better.
Bow tie fits better.
necktie. bowtie is the goose’s thing.
Flip a coin and choose the one you secretly wished for during the flip
Paired with the top hat, the bow tie is better.
But I’d like to see other options, such as a cowboy hat and bolo tie, a scarf, a “dixie cup” sailor hat and neckerchief, a casual ascot, etc.
The bow tie looks like a duck I would carry around and love, the neck tue looks like a duck you punch in the face. That might also have to do with the angle and eye, but the bow tie makes it look better and more loving.
Neck tie. Bowties are for chippendales.
Neck tie, if it were a bit bigger.
Personally the necktie
I’m on the fence. Visually the bowtie seems more flattering because it draws attention to the head, but I also get the argument about the necktie filling empty space and being able to flap around. Opinions in this post seem somewhat polarized too, so depending on the effort required to implement it I might suggest giving the player the option to choose either.
Necktie
Fills out the model more
My issue is the disparity of the pictures, with the bowtie picture having the duck’s entire neck almost completely in shadow, while the shadow is comparatively minimized on the necktie image. It’d be nice to see both options under both light and dark conditions.
That said, I currently prefer the necktie; it provides an element to the rest of the body. I’m the bowtie picture, everything is happening around the head - beak, eyes, hat, bowtie - leaving the rest of the body comparatively empty.
