Vespian could back this up if ever the chance arises for possibility. While the goatees are nice as an item, to I, they look a bit stiff. As a tuft, they would probably become a bit smoother in appearance.
While I do not use goatees or the like myself, I have a couple of character designs in my noggin that would make use of them. Again, if ever a possibility arises for the chance of their incorporation into the models.
