I don't know why I had so much trouble getting a tail braid to look good, but I've finally done it. A tail that doesn't look like crap has finally been achived, but might require a it more work.
More detail on the legs, as well as a full body profile shot. Most of my time has been dedicated to the tail, tail wrap and legs. I still need to figure out feathers and fur, but with geonodes it might not be horrible.
