I don't know why some animation people think the Ratchet & Clank Series have bad designs. The more recent games have struggled to coalesce stylization with PBR/hyper real textures, but the 2d visdev artwork has always been really strong graphically/silhouette wise.

No!! That in and of itself is so helpful bc as someone who is BAD at colours I just always assume y'all painters and visdev and bg ppl just know what you want and put it down.

So even if it doesn't help in a technical sense, it helps morale to know y'all strugglin too lol it ain't just me
