This was an early draft of the fallen angel.

When you click "Show more", you'll get to read part of my vision for this illustration. I believe it's valuable for minters to have context about the depth of the artwork, because it sets a different scale of expectations compared to what they might be used to.

"In this scene I would like to show an angel that is in the process of falling from heaven (metaphorically and literally). The main notable details would be that the halo of the angel is shattered and turning from gold to black. And that the wings of the angel are falling apart. In the world of Majin, the demons on earth are former angels that fell from heaven. When an angel falls from heaven, it loses its wings and the halo shatters and turns black (they still wear them above their head, but it’s now black and not intact anymore with particles floating around the black broken halo). When fallen angels reach earth, they hit the ground with loud thunder and lightning-type impact and explosion.
This moment of the angel falling would also foreshadow the transformation of the angel into a demon. That being said, I would still very much like for this scene to have a heavenly feeling to it and overall be bright / colorful. Maybe at the bottom there could be an indication of darkness. I would also like that the scene feels weightless. Like in zero gravity. It can also show almost an endless space of infinity.
The point of the illustration would be to show how beautiful heaven is but at the same time convey that the angel slowly realizes desperation / sadness from losing their position and being exiled from heaven — something which is a very dramatic moment."

My full vision combined with the character sheet, scene references and talent of the artist then allows us eventually create the final masterpiece.

In order for the collection and lore to be congruent it was important to build the world first and not just throw a bunch of PFPs onto the blockchain. I understand this is the way it has been done so far in the NFT space, but that creates a plethora of issues further down the road.
For example, right from the start you’re limited with the depth and authenticity of the lore. Because you have to come up with a story and meaning after the fact. That’s never going to be fully convincing and believable. And it’s one of the main weaknesses most on-chain IPs suffer from.
Another problem is that your future artwork, story, animations etc. is now dictated by randomly generated characters. None of them have an actual personality or justification for their existence. I believe most collectors and holders can feel that whenever a brand tries to go beyond being just a collection. Maybe it’s also the reason why even the biggest successes we have seen are primarily sold as gimmicks or toys, and not something that comes with the same charisma or weight as "real" IPs.

One interesting observation I made is that trait rarity not always dictates price.

Meaning certain traits might be more rare on paper but less valued by collectors. And other traits might be slightly more common but highly sought after because of their aesthetics.

That further means, especially early on, be very careful what you buy/sell. Because the market will reprice traits according to taste, and not solely based on rarity numbers.

On the other hand, if you have a good feeling for what people might value visually, you could be able to make some great buys before the prices increase.

In our pursuit of timeless aesthetics, we take inspiration from the Greek and Roman Empires.

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.
