I love these public domain animal characters, I also have one as my avatar :) Great that you're also making programs/games with him, I am really loving your work.
Is that texture created from some photo or did you paint it?
You could improve this by optimizing topology, I can see there are non-quad polygons and much of the topology could be simplified and made smoother. Here is how: https://invidio.us/watch?v=CuQzPDs99yM. And eyes should definitely have much fewer tris (use subdivide modifier for smoothing) :) Just some tips to improve this even more. Thanks again!
I've added another texture, which is my original work and you don't have to worry about a 3rd party texture (which is still fine, but you may not wanna dig for it's licensing status). Enjoy :)
@FabinhoSC thanks :) I think the link makes this font legit PD because it provides a clear statement by the author himself and the PD dedication also has a fallback license in case PD can't be achieved, similarly to CC0. I personally still only use fonts under CC0, because that's the standard, most used PD waiver written by lawyers and recommended by such organizations as the FSF, other waivers have a higher probability of having a "bug". I'll try to message the author of Tuffy if he'd be willing to stick CC0 to it.
+1 for CC0, great description and sources of your art, and for using a libre font.
I only use PD fonts too now -- not many people care about using libre fonts, but I do think it's important -- even if laws now may allow you to use non-free fonts, they may change any time so it's better to take the safe way. I like to see you take this way.
Although Tuffy is libre, it seems to be unclear about what license it really uses, on font pages I found it marked as PD/GPL/OFL. True and safest PD art, even fonts, should come clearly marked as CC0 by the author. There are basically only a handful of such vector fonts I know of:
+1 to that

Very nice, thank you for contributing to the public domain :)
Hats off, this is a beautiful and completely professional work. I admire it. Thank you for enriching the public domain :)

Immediately favorited :) I knew this had to be your work, Cethiel, just from seeing the images.
Nice contribution, thank you :)

- dotcolon fonts: http://dotcolon.net/, I mostly use Aileron
- Mr Henry: https://github.com/nickdaze/mr-henry
Just a few tips. You made a really good first contribution, keep it up :)
