Very cool man, is there any way you can do it in this same style throughout the game?.Or with the armor, because there are few textures in Badrock in this style.

I don’t think I’ll have the mental capacity to overhaul all of the textures for the game but I will do packs like this for parts of it.

Armor is definitely up there as one of my future projects though.
