Handover - Happy Chinese New Year!

Description

A shout-out and gift to my buddy streetdragon95, who I'm sure welcomed in the new Chinese New Year in not just his fluffy and adorable style but also the traditional Chinese manner.

4 Reasons I thought this was clever but am most likely incredibly wrong about:
> Traditionally, red envelopes containing money are gifted to the younger generation on Chinese new year
> Last year's spirit animal was the Dragon (Latios).
> This year it is the the Tree Goat. Gogoat is literally a goat with a tree on it.
> The envelope is being handed over from one to the other.
> streetdragon95s persona/OC is a Latios (Dragon)...
> but his middle name is Wei... and (Wei)t for it guys because guess what Wei means in Chinese? Tree Goat!

The scene was originally a lot more detailed... But I'd made a scene based off references of feudal japan so I started from scratch as of last night, hence the lack of stuff. I'll fit the Japanese one in later now *sighing*.

Modeled in blender with the Cycles engine, and apart from that one Chinese letter and the pokémon, the rest are done entirely with procedural textures (which also makes me feel smart even though it shouldn't). Modelling time, about 2 hours, render time about 30 minutes. Deliberately left it grainy so that the small errors I made don't show up as much.

Happy new year everyone, and gong xi fa cai to you all! May this year and all the commencing years not just be prosperous, but also fun-filled and action packed!
