Unfortunately Mike Horowitz will not be able to join the Ace pilot team this episode due to some scheduling problems. However, my good friend Carlos Ubillos told me he would be up for providing the backgrounds.
Carlos is an Awesome artist who has relatively recently graduated and were college buddies back when I was studying at Ex'pression College of Digital Arts. Not only has Carlos been up for providing the backgrounds, last night he even modeled Ace Pilot's ship "The Vast Mentula" in 3D to facilitate having different angles of the ship for the cutscenes! You can check it out here:
Yes, Carlos has in a way saved the project. It was by chance that he needed to stay at my place for a while cause he's performing in a theatre show near my house. Thats when I asked if he could take Mike's roll in Ace, shortly after Mike was unable to continue.
There's been lots of ups downs and a little turbulence in the making of this project, but thankfully, its still moving forward, and fast! light speed even! alright. Enough puns for now.
Also, i made Ace in skincraft! check it out below!
