I received my deployment the other week, initially I was thinking of trying to obtain a higher tier but I've realized that I'm just really happy on how the costume turned out as is despite its grading.
It was a true pleasure to meet the man behind the artwork and seeing his reaction (and signing his approval on the armor lol) was enough for me.
Thank you for joining me on this journey everyone, if I make any additional updates I will certainly put them here.
