FINAL: Tried to spend a decent amount of time on thumbnails, found and made a bunch of references and took screenshots of the ingame model to help me. these were the final 4 thumbs. In hindsight, I should have spent more time on these as they're not as dynamic or interesting as they could have been. I asked for feedback…
more or less finished linework with light tests in grayscale, made 3 of these with different lighting situations From here it's str8 rendering all the way, making a few changes in the process.
