Borderlands 3 Loot Box - NMG Challenge Finalist - Fan Art

This initial two-week challenge was a complete blast! The challenge was just the exterior of a lootable chest that would fit in the Borderlands art style however the interior and a diorama were added to this project after the competition ended. I was awarded 3rd place and learned so much! Big shout out to the NMG discord and Romain Lambert for judging and helping along the way!
The concept is from Anton Grandert and his infamous Loot Box from Star Wars Battlefront 2. I've always loved the design of it and proud of how it turned out! Any critiques are more than welcome! Thanks!
