2 things.
1: Why do you use Rupture rather than OrigHD? Personally, I think origHD's natural elements will look better for the map, And it will better suit the more modern buildings in the city and shore areas.
2: If you would like, I'm sure I could make the 4 main characters in DI as custom avatars for you.

I guess I like the gritty aspect of Rupture, it sort of gives the world an overall apocalyptic atmosphere plus there are some neat textures that adds some realism, which I appeal to. I used to use Original HD, but sometimes it's just too clean or some texture combinations don't really work out well.
Yeah, that would be great ! I feel like including some other characters too and I also felt like including new survivors; plus I also felt like designing the infected placeholders . I'll probably sketch out these character's/ enemies later on to give an idea.
