Some players didn't welcome Canonneer at the release because she was too "Sailormoon and doesn't fit Legion TD 2". But that's exactly why I made her bc I felt the unit roster back then was too monster-heavy. Now she is very popular, and her voice is mine.

Sneak peek at my process. As I make the model, I like to take a screenshot and check if silhouette/shapes are going as planned. Giving myself a paintover feedback helps me get a fresh eye on the model.
Seedling and Chloropixie is sharing rig and animation, so here is an example of explaining that to the animator. Sakura has its own rig and animation because he looked different enough.
The idea of having a lady sculpture on a casket was a bit inspired by the crying angels from Dr.Who episode...
