# Plush Mascot Hero

> Studio hero with a knitted plush mascot raymarched in WebGL: a mint gumdrop creature hugging a puffy star, with V-stitch knit, fuzzy silhouette and glossy eyes that follow the cursor. It blinks, leans toward the pointer, lifts its brows as you get close and squishes when pressed. Script logo between two text columns.
