One of the most important aspects for me is that our collection has meaning. Because I'm convinced that holders and collectors can sense when you create with purpose.
And I believe the way your art is valued on the market goes along with that too.
I think using the Robinhood domain created some issues on the web, so we decided to move to a new domain.

The level of activity in Discord is a direct reflection of the community's morale. As a founder it's your job to encourage and nurture it, because it's the lifeblood of your project. Newton called it the Law of Inertia: an object in motion stays in motion.
Mind you, not a single person was able to join our server the past 7 months. We're a tiny circle and completely private. Still, I drop announcements on a regular basis and ensure everyone is up to date and can be hyper bullish. That is the environment you need to create before you open your doors up to the public.
Be sure to turn on your notifications on Twitter and join our group chat. We will soon share invites with which you can finally join and claim the OG role (special perks).
Good question. Simply put, instead of creating a cookie cutter collection with templates, we establish a whole universe first — which is pretty much how every web2 manga / anime IP was created.
You can check the image below and zoom around a bit. A lot of those characters look vastly different. But it's clear they all belong to the same IP / brand. So it's mainly about style, colors, artistic aesthetic etc. and much less about the shape of the template. I think we've been dumbed down by what digital collectibles look liked like over the years and set our expectations of what a great collection can look like too low.
The approach for traits which I describe in this clip is risky and has never been done before. But I also believe it's necessary.
Especially with respect to your holder's personalities, I don't think it's wise to expect everyone to identify with the exact same base template.
The next logical step after the groundwork laid by the current bluechips is to introduce more uniqueness, diversity, stronger identities, different body types etc.
We cannot continue to repeat the same recipe over and over and over again. It's time for something new to push digital collectibles further.
The reason people value hand drawn art over AI content is emotional satisfaction. If something was created by hand it contains: TIME.
And time equals effort. The artist had to learn the craft, hone it, and then put it to work with intent and passion.
AI on the other hand produces everything in seconds by recycling things which already exist. There's no effort behind it. It doesn't actually --create--.
Let me give you an example. Let's say you'd hand your mother a letter that expresses your gratitude and love for her. How do you think she'd react if you told her AI wrote it. She'd be disappointed, right?
Because even if you gave AI the input and even if AI maybe wrote the letter better than you could have yourself, it lacks the effort. It's simply not real.
And no matter how good AI will get, this void can never be filled. Anyone bullish on AI art or AI movies is completely out of touch with human nature. We do not value things which contain zero effort. Naturally we understand that they are hollow copies of the real thing and hence worthless.
Traditional art has proven the same point a long time ago. You can buy almost perfect replicas of famous paintings. But why are they worth so much less? Because, again, the artist can only give his soul to the artwork once. It cannot be copy pasted by plagiarizing the original.
Humans value time, effort, passion, and a love for the craft. That will never change. Never. In fact, that appreciation will only grow stronger as the world is flooded with slop.
That's why Majin builds on the foundation which Azuki laid. We honor the craft, we respect artistic integrity, and we make sure you can feel the soul in everything we create.
For our character concepts I focus on creating unique and memorable personalities. Not only with regard to their look, but posture, angles, and expressions are crucial to explore too.
Your PFP is your online identity. That makes creative diversity one of the most important aspects. From my perspective we had enough of the "Stormtrooper collections", where it's pretty much just 10,000 clones with different hairstyles and colors. At this point, the space has matured enough where we can do more and create a much deeper IP.
