Hello! Work on MR2 has been going smoothly (and a certain event has happened since LR4 ended but that's a whole other story). I've mentioned on the TSCOTY server that if AMA beat Quinton, they'd be getting a fairly major rework and I've thrown around a few ideas. Obviously that didn't happen but here's a mashup based on an idea I never did back in LR2.

Merry Christmas Eve! This isn’t for a specific tourney, I just liked the character concept and didn’t know what to do with it. I really tried to lean into the “early 2010’s pop” vibe for them, as I think it represents the older Minecraft era pretty well. Also, mixing isn’t my strong suit, so sorry if it sounds a little weird.
