Not very satisfied with the proportions (weight data problem) and colour scheme (lighting difference, especially bc the 2D sketch, interpreted into Substance Painter, then exported to Blender, and then imported to Helldivers 2 caused the end result to look sub optimal. The colour scheme is also too bright for Helldivers 2, which looks semi grounded.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
