Self-portrait as a sphero pirate
In 1994, an adventure game initially designed for PC called Little Big Adventure (Relentless: Twinsen’s Adventure or simply LBA for the close ones) came into the world where Twinsen, the main character, faces a dictator who wants to exploit the strength of the goddess of his planet.
With a captivating story, I was absorbed by the game and it became one of my favorites of all time.
Almost ten years later, the original developers of this game decided to remaster the game, and called on fans to develop a self-portrait as a pirate from one of the four races on the planet where Twinsen lives.
I decided to take on the challenge and, taking inspiration from engravings of real pirates, I portrayed myself as a Sphero, a race that has a united body with a spherical head and long limbs.

I confess that the game's visuals have aged a little badly.
But it was 1994 and 1997, the year of the LBA sequence.
