So Taiyang's 3D model is revealed is finally revealed. So 4 major interesting difference from Taiyang that I'm sure everybody noticed and pointed out:

1 - His split dragon heart-shaped tattoos. People say that the symbol is similar to Cinder's symbol tattoo, but I feel that, as explained in Cinder's wiki page 'Trivia' section, "appears to be a pair of high-heel slippers placed sole to sole, making a (conviently) heart in the empty space between them," and I doubt She and Tai even knew each other.

I'm pretty sure others already pointed this out, but I also believe that each half of the symbol represents the loved ones that Tai has lost, specifically Raven Branwen and Summer Rose, since in the old 'Team STRQ' picture, Tai didn't have that Tattoo at that time.

2 - Lilac eyes in the picture, just like his 1st daughter, Yang, but blue-ish in present time. Intentional, or inoconsistency? I'll leave that for you guys to decide.

3 - A light orange bandana on his right arm in the old picture, but in the present, he's wearing a more reddish-orange bandana on the same arm. Intentional? Maybe, maybe not. Inconsistency or lighting effect playing tricks with our eyes? Mmmmmmmmmmmaybe or mmmmmmmmaybe not.

4 - Cargo pants in the old picture, but cargo shorts in the present. Now what caught my eye here is that the shorts is similar to the cargo pants that's commonly worn for '''safari. '''Combine that with Tai's blonde color-scheme, facial hair, and the tough build and the occasional tough expressions, but fearful aspect (mainly just the fear for losing more of the people close to him). Yeah, I know I'm late when it comes to pointing out that Taiyang might be alluding to the cowardly lion from the "Wizard of Oz" story.

The rest of Taiyang seem more or less the same. Thoughts? ^_^
