As I said from the upload of the Taiki 2015, I'll show what I meant by how his new design look sorta like a mix and a reference from his old ones.

From the left is his first design, on the right is his second design, and from the middle is his current one if you don't count the hoodie's design.

NOTE: These sketches were actually done a while ago, in fact the middle sketch was the first accidental design change I've done.

Long story short I wanted to just draw the dog again since it's been a while and then I was looking at an artwork of a cute dog then my mind felt as if Taiki should look different and...you've seen what happened from the last upload.

From how he's a mix or referenced, just have a look at the fur pattern for one.

There's white that goes around his right eye like how his first design has white around his eyes.

Then the side spikes came from the second design but gotten more straightened like his first design.

Those three tiny spikes returned on top of his forehead looking closer to the first design.

Then the hoodie where I took the general shape of with a bit of modifying to look more like the second design's hoodie if I'm making sense.

The ears were actually just an addition to the new look from the shape.

He may have gotten changes, but he's still adorable-looking. Wouldn't you agree?
