Jet Set Radio Evolution Visual Demo Art Dump

We made this Visual Proof of Concept after Sony expressed interest in seeing the characters in motion at GDC 2017. We spent a week animating and building the city for this presentation which was ultimately turned down by Sega.
This was the first step towards a gameplay demo. If Sega was interested we were going to invest in making a functioning prototype.

Awesome stuff!  I was actually surprised at how dense the meshes were.  I assume it was because instead of relying on normal maps, you were using the mesh geo to get the cell shaded look from the shaders to achieve a specific desired look.
