Continuing with our behind-the-scenes mini-series on Stellars artwork!
In the previous thread, @catmeatparty shared the origin story and artistic inspiration behind the iconic back-facing pose & passions 👉🏻 https://t.co/IHNIOGbYeG
In this post, he spotlights the intricacies and challenges of 3D art, and his reflections on the entire journey!
(Also, spot the difference with our newly updated 'Avengers' team shot 😏)

Stellars, you came, you saw and quite possibly rerolled 🥹.
The Stellars artwork you're proudly repping as your PFP is the culmination of 10 months of intense collaboration. Most of the credit goes to @hiccupboy, @rachzhuang and our agency partner, The Other Lab—founded by our very own Stellar, @catmeatparty.
We're launching a behind-the-scenes mini-series to uncover the origin story, the artistic inspirations, and the sheer effort and dedication—yes, including the carpal tunnel—that went into this masterpiece.

T-1: Countdown to the ARC Customization Portal Launch
🟣 Heads Up! Spoiler Alert – Hold Off Watching If You're Not Curious
👇 Quick Tips Before You Dive into Stellar Customization
Crafting the Stellar Experience
In the world of Creativity and Events, it's all about the experience. It's not just about the looks or avatars, but the whole adventure into the ARC universe to claim your stellar identity. (That's why our avatar strikes that pose.)
In the world of Stellars, our identities aren't bound by who we are, but what we're passionate about - @arcthecommunity
My advice?
Grab a seat, set up your desktop. Bigger screen is better. Turn on the audio. Get ready to enjoy this journey of self-discovery.
Amazing Artwork Already? It's Just the Preview
The customization site's artwork is seriously impressive. As you pick different traits or move the mouse around, the colors and shadows play along.
And guess what? This is just a sneak peek of the full 3D version of the stellars. Why? Because most of our computers, mine included, can't handle it. Not even my trusty Macbook.
Here's the twist (what makes our 3D art cool): ARC renders the entire stellar as a whole, not just bit by bit. That's why you get those subtle reflections on sunglasses, layers of light and shadow. All the traits interact, changing with the light source.
Yes, we have to wait a bit longer. But trust me, it's double the excitement. Even if you have a rough idea of how your stellars will look, the fully rendered version will blow you away.
Cheers to ARC Diamond Squad & Early Contributors
Being part of the ARC Diamond Squad with early contributors is an honor.
We're the ones testing concepts, giving feedback, and supporting the community. Over the past months, we've had so many talks, all pointing to one thing from the ARC team — they want to give the best to the stellars. They've really taken the community's needs to heart, especially this identity customization thing.
It's a privilege to get a head start on customization. We're glad we did it with limited info so all the stellars can have more reference of the traits, "rarity" & "relatability". So every stellar out there can get the best first-stage customizations.
Hats off to the Early Contributors:
