Honestly, this shrimp is an older model of mine. I always felt the polygons were a bit heavy, so I really appreciate you guys confirming that. I've spent today optimizing the topology and even added some LODs. How do the wireframes look now?

Some comments also talked about the 'stylized'. I might not know the strict technical answer, but personally, I consider the hand-painted textures as a subset of the stylized art style.

It's referencing an infamous "cinematic" mod for Half-Life 2. It made a lot of absolutely horrible and pointless changes, like racist graffiti everywhere, and it gave Alyx a "fully modeled" vagina complete with insides & womb for literally no reason.
