Jokes aside, I still can’t believe the disaster in that image. I’m pretty sure I could have done a better job with that painting, and I’m far from qualified for that job.

It was also a work in progress. This was just meant to be colour blocking before details were added.
Ohh that makes a lot more sense
Of course they’d say that.
