Hello, I'm new to this site and I want to show my first model I made.

So basically, I did box-modelling first, and then I tried to figured out on the technique I don't know the name of where you connect two meshes together to make a new mesh, kind of like how they did in Pokemon, Digimon, etc.
I got troubled figuring out topology on making the hole for the decorated-ear pattern and kind of screwed up on the connected mesh between the ears and the hat.

Here's another picture without Subdivision Modification. I would like a feedback on making the connections of the ear and the hat, thank you.
