When you scroll through these images, you will see the different development stages of the Fallen Angel.
The foundation remained the same since I came up with this concept, but the realization of the visuals was heavily influenced by our Japanese artist. Especially the Spine Katana owes its intricate placement within the spine to his incredible talent and creativity.

Some of the things which changed from the initial stage are:
• the color of the shirt (changed to Majin red)
• the state of the wings (more powerful and legendary)
• scar in the face was added for more personality
• more defined jaw and contour to highlight the strength and will of the Fallen Angel

A few minor aspects which we'll refine additionally:
• removing the headphones (the character has already enough unique traits which make this added complexity unnecessary — but the headphones remain as a trait in the collection)
• potentially replacing the cross pendant with an "M" accessory

But generally speaking the Fallen Angel is close to finalized. It's going to be one of the rarest NFTs in our collection, and definitely one of the coolest PFPs with incredible aesthetics and status.

When you zoom in you will notice that he has two different eyes. You might also see the necklace or the rings on the fingers. There's a lot of detail which is going to be added to the final version (which is lore relevant and related to his powers). I look forward to revealing the full character soon!

Get the first look at the 1/1 Fallen Angel PFP and several upcoming characters. I also share more about our creative process and why we pour so much passion into our art.

[Majin 魔人 @majinbysoto]

We decided to put our 1/1 pieces on-chain via @manifoldxyz because it's one of the best platforms for artists.
Their contracts have powered work by Beeple and Refik Anadol, and Manifold-minted art has sold at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. That's the credibility which got Majin on board.
Another advantage they offer is that work minted through Manifold can also be sold on other marketplaces. So the contract is not tied to Manifold’s storefront. Which also means you will soon see the first Majin NFTs on OpenSea and other platforms.

If you scroll through the attached images you will see the progress of our current auction on Manifold. The bids started at 0.15 ETH and now made their way up to 1.5 ETH.
It's going to be very interesting to see what kind of price we can achieve for the first artwork that we release. Our OGs know of course that the utility of this masterpiece is very special too. The holder of this NFT receives the matching grail in our PFP collection as well as a physical edition of the artwork.
It was important to us to not only promote our brand but to provide collectors a genuine part of our IP.

I also have to credit the founders of Manifold @ediep @richerd for enabling artists to share their work with the world in a permissionless way while retaining ownership of the contracts and tokens.
They play an important part in bringing collectors and digital art together. I feel that Manifold was meant for fine-art and I hope that by bringing our 1/1s on-chain we can contribute to the beauty of web3.

If you're interested in our auction of THE FALL｜堕天 then I linked the listing below. You still have 4 days left.
But even if the bids eventually go outside of your budget; remember that this is just the beginning. You're still early and there will be plenty of opportunities to get whitelisted and secure your spot.

雷鳴｜THUNDER

When heaven casts out an angel, lightning crashes into earth and thunder roars far beyond the point of impact. No one can predict what the fallen angel will become, but for many this is where the path toward becoming a Majin begins.

In this clip I reveal multiple Majin characters and special traits. You'll see the Albino Goth with the Diamond Curse and Twin Swords, and you'll get a preview of the Holographic Halo, Spine Katana and Chainsword.

It's almost time for another live stream. Get ready for more exclusive leaks of our art, lore and PFPs!

[Majin 魔人 @majinbysoto]

When you watch the video below you will see exclusive leaks of the Majin companions. They are strategically designed to excite collectors in a similar way as Pudgy Penguins and Pokémon did.
Once we release them as PFPs, the entire collection will be in strong demand across a broad audience, because the "cute factor" is an incredibly powerful marketing lever.

You can see in the video that we specifically position our IP to cater to the biggest audience possible. That is exactly what made Pudgy Penguins so successful.
But our approach is a bit closer to Pokémon, where we offer not only one shape or creature, but multiple different characters which have the potential of becoming as iconic as Pikachu or Charizard.
If you look at the concept of our "Mushroom Dog" in the video below, or the companion of the "Goth Girl", you'll get the idea and understand that these characters are made to go viral and designed as very attractive digital collectibles.

We have professional character designers and artists from legendary Japanese anime and video game IPs work on the Majin companions. We apply their experience and follow principles which already led to many world renowned characters.
An incredible amount of precision go into our approach, and we pay close attention to not only develop new characters but to engineer iconic designs and traits for the entire collection.

This is how I plan for Majin to go way beyond web3 and create serious hype and revenue in the traditional entertainment industry.

[Majin 魔人 @majinbysoto]

My favorite bluechips have been created in 2021. Let me show you with the example of @doodles why the passion of the creator is vital to the long-term success of the IP.
You’ll see from these early sketched by @burnttoast that there’s an extraordinary amount of creativity flowing into the collection. The characters and traits were drawn with purpose and love for the craft.

I believe the point was not to create a product but to create something unique and beautiful. And that intent can be felt so strongly by holders that their art remains relevant and in demand even 5 years later.
Doodles, Azuki, BAYC, Cool Cats... it almost looks like we as an industry lost the ability to create evergreen art like this. It's just my personal opinion, but in recent months and years nothing really comes close to the artwork and IPs which were created during the 2021/2022 era.

And I think the reason for that is the commercialization of something which primarily should be beautiful.
Most new collections focus on selling themselves as a way to make money or as a product. I don’t feel the spirit of passionate artists anymore.
As a collector and someone who appreciates beauty I think we lost our way and are headed in the wrong direction where we put the product above the purpose. And as a result most products fail, because they serve no purpose.
Or in other words: how can you expect people to love your art if you didn’t love creating it?

My work with Majin is focused on bringing that passion, creativity and love for the craft back to digital collectibles. The highest priority is creating something beautiful. Everything else comes second. Because I know if I succeed at that, if the IP truly is something people enjoy looking at, the success will come naturally. And I believe that’s how it happened for all bluechips. Someone put an incredible amount of love into their work, other people could feel and appreciate it, and as a result of that, passionate communities were formed. This is what I aim for and what I hope to achieve by giving our art all the creativity and love I have.
