Whats the brown on Gnar?!?

Been doodling a lot recently. I've also recently got a Wacom Tablet so been practicing on that. Been recently drawing a bunch of Gnar stuff, but theres one part about him that I'm unfamiliar with. I've seen all different kinds of Gnar fan art and there's always a split. Is the brown stuff around Gnar's upper chest/neck brown fur or a bunch of leaves/vegetation? With all the art I see, its either one or the other. The texturing on the 3D model kind of looks like fur, but I'm not too sure... I'd like to know what it really is.

Riot or anyone who knows... halp?

I have that plush, and the brown thing around his neck appears to be ornamental. He lacks it on his non-classic skins, so I reckon that it's some kind of fur shawl. After all, Gnar is a hunter in his own right.

Right! I totally disregarded the possibility of it being a Fur Shawl. Nice Catch!

As for it being absent on his other skins, I would argue that his whole upper body and neck is covered with clothing (Snow Day -> Scarf || Dino -> The Dino Onesie). When thinking about it, the scarf on Snow Day might even be the Fur Shawl Equivalent on his normal skin. I think a fur shawl is on the right track.

One more thing. The plush has a bit of rope that ties behind Gnar's neck, which I think further reinforce the idea that it's an ornament. Whatever the brown thing is, it's definitely something he puts on.
