First can you tell us a little about yourself, where you grew up and what attracted or inspired you to get into this art form?
Hey everyone, first i like to thank you for giving me this opportunity, my name is raja and i am 33, I live in India (South India)
You all know me as R SIX, I am a casual gamer, dog lover, small you tuber, video editor.

First i was looking ways to have more fun in cyberpunk 2077 and i visited nexus mods for some mods to download and i saw the community gallery page and i was amazed by their work, I was very curious to find out how they did this and it became my daily hobby.

How did you learn this form of digital art?
I really don’t know anything about virtual photography in the beginning, all i did was experiment with all things like lighting, mods, poses and worked on improving them, it was very fun to learn and i am still learning.

What drew you to cyberpunk 2077 or/and the cyberpunk genre as a whole?
Open world, futuristic city and people with cyber implants, what you want more in a game, Also i was a big fan of Witcher 3, I was very excited when i saw the 48 min game play of cp2077 and Pre ordered the game and never stopped playing it, In my opinion this game still has more potential, I wish CDPR never stop support for cp2077.

What message, to you, does the cyberpunk genre imply or relay as a viewer, fan of that aesthetic?
Never give up until you achieve what you are fighting for

What photo/GFX tools that are not in 2077 would you like to see in the sequel Project Orion?
More photo mode poses, V posing with npcs and photo mode filters

What drew you to the 2077 game specifically? What keeps driving you to keep making content for it?
Cyberpunk 2077 gave me unique experience while playing the game and making art, its fun to explore night city, I always find new things to do and new places to explore, mostly i got attached to the characters so quick. I was inspired by lot of artists, That drives me to learn new ways and experiment on things to make better art.

What tools do you use to make your art? How long does it take to go from idea to posting a pic? What's the process?
I use otis photo mode tools, AMM spotlights, Reshade, light room and Photoshop, I usually spend one to two hours to take 5 to 10 pictures with different light settings and poses and i choose one picture to edit and post, it's also depends on what mods i have.
First i choose clothing mods and i roam around the city until i find a good spot with nice background, The time of the day/night also helps me give a different look to my character and that’s it.

How long have you been doing this art form?
From past 7 months and it was fun

Do you think these are skills you like to make a career of on some level or you prefer it as a hobby?
I prefer as a hobby

And my most controversial question... Which of the following labels would you assign to whom (one each)? ;)
Marry, BFF, FWB (friend with benefits), Casual Friend, Indifferent, Hate, Kill

Evelyn: BFF  
Johnny: Hate
Judy:   FWB
Kerry:  CASUAL FRIEND
Panam:  MARRY
River:  INDIFFERENT

And finally what are the socials people can find you, and do you do commissions? Any final words to the readers? Thank you for your time!
