I unironically hope they DO change Shiv’s face in the final version

The game is full of many different archetypes, but no character is impossibly handsome like Shiv is supposed to be. We have yet to see Valve to go all out for a man attractive wise like they can for the “bad boy” redemption archetype.
His model right now is a recolor from neon prime with a different art stlye thats why he looks terrible. Any actual person that knows Shiv lore knows that he has no relation with monkeys. This happened already with old ugly Ivy in the past to “contrast” her uglyness with her being nice and welcoming which is not good character design at all. This will be no different.
