Patron Update & Yoshitaka Amano Portrait

Added 2020-04-30 14:37:37 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone,

As the isolation days keep on going, first we hope that you and your close ones are all staying healthy. On our end, we've been exploring project ideas and how to adapt to the current situation (which is probably what many of you are also going through).

We have a new project that we will be launching soon, it won't be pop culture related but will remain human-focused, taking on a new approach. Some of our others projects (this time including pop culture) are unfortunately still on hold, while others are slowly unfolding, either after the situation settles down or by finding alternate ways to make them. Needless to say, we will be looking forward to your support.

One more update is that we just added a "new" video on the channel, a short portrait of the Final Fantasy series character designer & illustrator legend Yoshitaka Amano. We are using quotation marks here as this is a short documentary we made a couple of years back, as part of a collaboration with a French publishing company, where we take a look at Amano's career beginnings, his involvement with the Final Fantasy series and his more recent shift to the fine art scene. We are finally bringing this piece to the channel today.

We hope you'll enjoy and as always, feel free to share your reactions, questions or comments either here or on Discord.

Thank you for your support!
