ExtremeRed

ExtremeRed, also known as Yiğit (/jiːt/) in real life, is a self-taught 3D animator and showrunner. Born on July 26, 2006, and raised in Istanbul, Türkiye, his creative journey began at the age of 12 when he developed an interest in mapping content, which is the art of narrative storytelling using geopolitical shifts on a map.

He initially built an audience in his native language under the alias Marmaralı. After producing mapping content for roughly two years, he took a brief experimental detour to launch the channel RedStickman, creating kinetic "Stick Death Maze" animations before ultimately returning to his primary medium.

His mapping career spanned eight steady, foundational years. Genuinely passionate about grand-scale storytelling, he eventually pushed beyond historical Earth maps to construct entirely original planets, nations, and lore. However, growing within the community also exposed him to bitter online politics, broken friendships, and personal setbacks. Despite hitting his lowest points multiple times, he refused to stop creating, eventually releasing his final Turkish mapping project: Artifisiyum.
