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.
Happy weekend legends

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.
Here's what oneBanking includes:

I want you to carry the spirit of Majin throughout your day. So every now and then I'll drop bangers from our playlist. Dark, badass, underground remixes which you never heard before.

The key to exciting a big audience is simplicity. Because no matter how great your product might be, if it's not attractive on a surface level and easy to understand, you'll have a tough timing scaling.
This is why we put a tremendous amount of work into the visuals of Majin. What we want to achieve is that it only takes one short glance to evoke the curiosity of the viewer. And any closer look immediately sparks the thought: "Damn, this looks good!"
If you manage to achieve that, then there's a very good chance for attention and growth to accelerate. It's also the straight path to mass adoption. Not explanations, but visual appeal, and fundamentals + utility to back it up.
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.
