Known Associates is a GTA V roleplay server I am building for Black Dingo Network. This is its key art, every frame staged and lit in game.

These are server concepts for production development. Each frame was staged and lit in game, then run through Nano Banana 2 for resolution and image enhancement. The server is in development, the same as High Country. More at blackdingostudios.com.

The server build, staging, lighting and camera are mine. The upscale and enhancement pass is Nano Banana 2.
