you know for a fact valve will make em split the torso and pants into two different cosmetics

I really like the armor pattern and how well it sticks out from the rest of the set, awesome work!

it was one little thing leading to another. at first i felt like a single square slat of chest armor would look too bland, so i raised both sides to create a neckline, then i figured since i left the texture unmirrored to avoid looking too symmetrical, that i may as well let the model itself be asymmetric as well. it was originally higher on the opposite side and i meant for a solid metal piece to protect the heart, which ended up not fitting the rest of the armor stylistically. finally i reduced it to another leather-lined piece or armor, but to reach below the mandated 1400 triangles for the whole suit made it look too low-poly up close so i removed that piece altogether and heightened the torso armor. the unused metal piece ended up being reused as the sinoblade's blade collar.

Not quite sure why you didnt keep it symmetrical, but I like it nonetheless. I wonder how it behaves in action?

Looks like a new genji skin in Overwatch. Really cool!
