This is a quick insight into how DeGods created their character for the y00t collection.
The big takeaway is that a lot of experimenting is necessary and sufficient time needs to be spent in exploring the art direction. Because collectors and holders historically have shown to appreciate originality, attention to detail, and passion.
Which means: the more you put into getting the style and characters right, the greater the chances for the collection to moon.
This early concept visualizes the relationship of a character with her companion.
These little friends are part of the collection and play a vital role in Majin. But be careful: they are not just rare and cute. They protect their owners and may at times display unexpected capabilities.
We create the universe first, and then place our NFTs, traits, grails, etc. in it.
The old recipe of launching a 10k collection into a void, and then coming up with lore and meaning after the fact won't work anymore. It's not convincing enough to compete with bluechips.
That's why we have to take it further. Yes, the metaverse might not become a reality, but just like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars built their own worlds, we aim to do the same, because it's a proven way to make an IP mainstream compatible and attractive to an audience beyond web3.
My ambitions for the artwork of Majin is that it excites an audience beyond the crypto and NFT space. I want to achieve mainstream virality and give the world something beautiful that's universally appreciated.
LISTEN CAREFULLY
PFPS ARE THE ONLY THESIS THAT MAKE SENSE
EVEN IN THE WORST BEAR, EVERYONE STILL ROCKED APES, MILADY, PUNKS, R**ARDIOS ETC.

THE TECH — VAPOR
THE TEAMS — SCAMSTERS
THE VCS — CROOKS
THE CEX — CRIMINALS
BUT THE COMMUNITIES
THE ART
THE LOVE
THE PASSION
THAT SHIT IS REAL
AND THAT'S WHY NFTS WILL NEVER GO AWAY
THAT'S WHY THEY WILL REBOUND LIKE YOUR FAT MAMA AFTER HER LATEST DIET
WE ARE BACK
NO MATTER THE DIPS AND VOLATILITY IN THE NEXT MONTHS — WE ARE F**KING BACK
