#HelloWorld. “My work is simply to be enjoyed. I considered it escapism, something to indulge in and forget about the bullsh*t.” Alec West’s (@alec.fbx) colorful lo-fi renderings throw back to gaming’s early years. “I make animations that mainly just capture a moment in an ever-growing world, each video being another piece in the puzzle. All my life I have been creating art. In middle school, I would go on websites and watch pivot stick fighter animations all day. I would attempt my own crude versions at home downloading pre-made assets.” Alec developed his pixelated world and original character Tri-Tails using free open-source software. “The work that took a team of 40-plus people 20 years ago, I can do in my room alone today. I am excited to see where these tools will take us and what will be made. I am in a server with extremely talented artists, ranging across many different forms of digital art and software. I don’t know what I would do without this community. Having people to reach out to for help and just general questions is something I won’t ever take for granted. This is something anyone should be able to do if they want. It’s our goal to not only inspire but help them achieve that goal.” Video by @alec.fbx Music by @goreshit.sucks
