NOTE--- I've hidden all the content of this , just because there's a SC5 art contest until the end of August, and any work for it, can't be revealed before that ----- I've started this project around 3 years ago, thinking of the celebration the 20th Anniversary of Space Channel 5 . SC5 is a game from SEGA and it was one of the last game that I've really played before stopping gaming for a few years, also I really enjoy it's art style. Link to Wikipedia about SC5 I wanted to explore some 3D techniques that I didn't had enough experience with , by half way it turned into a social experiment , where I started to use only Instagram as my only platform of communication and look development . During the development, I was supported and got constructive critique from the community that didn't care about the tech side of the work, they were into the fandom of the franchise and all they wanted was to get something out of me that aligned with the core values of the original video game. Besides using traditional CG tools ,I was doing the editing, the audio and video edits, all inside a phone. Only at the end, to create full resolution results, Affinity photo and Nuke where used . This website exists for me to share the love and give back to the community some of the development I did.
