This is most of cobalt core and sunshine heavy industries, by pixel

so many times now, i've been struggling to figure out a character, and then a single funny drawing of them basically solves them for example, selene's "neutral" and "squint" faces turned out to be like... the entire tone of sunshine heavy industries

i think this article + chart are a really interesting idea, but i think the # of credits axis needs some refinement. the core team for cobalt core was 3 people, but for instance we also have like 50 people in the credits for the various localization teams (which we are happy to credit, of course!)
