Made for an art-jam on Itch
The goal was to design a non-existing, handheld console so I wanted to make something that looks like an early 80’s handheld (coiled cord and all baby!). My goal wasn’t to make something pretty but rather something that a product designer at a company akin to Tiger Electronics could potentially have dreamt up after a weekend coke-bender in the 80’s/early 90’s
Besides the video game being displayed on the console screen, all the other shaders are procedural
I decided to go for a ultra-worn look despite changing my mind while setting up the shots to do something more like a product/ad render. So here are 4 full-page magazine spreads!
The X-STATION is on sale now, just not in this universe! And always read the fine-print before making a purchase no matter how good of a deal it seems to be
I also made the little game screen using a froggo from my other projects!
I ended up running the image through a colorramp and multiplied the colors with a non-random Voronoi texture to get something that I think looks way more interesting
