The Client:

Aptos Knights / Earn bird DAO

Year:

2022 

The Task: 

The client approached us with their own concept to create a series of characters with a medieval fantasy theme. They requested us to refine the storytelling and simultaneously design the characters to transform them into a generative collection of NFTs. The client provided some rough sketches depicting characters in a Funko or kawaii-style, akin to a collectible series.

The Solution: 

Based on the client’s ideas, we embarked on redefining the existing backstory, fine-tuning key variables and narrative elements to ensure a more cohesive storyline. Simultaneously, we began crafting the characters, striving for the client’s approval and ultimately achieving a gratifying outcome. This led to contentment within our client’s community. The result was a blend of realism and caricature, infused with a touch of kawaii, while maintaining a collectible figure aesthetic.

The
NFT Collection:

Embodying the spirit of chivalry on the Aptos Blockchain, the Knights bestow entry into The Condor Shop2Earn Ecosystem.

This collection serves as the cornerstone for the earn bird series; possessing one grants access to a plethora of utilities. Essentially, it acts as a rewards extension for both web2 and web3 purchases, driven by affiliate revenue. This dynamic extension offers users an array of advantages, including, but not limited to, cash-back rewards for online purchases, ecosystem governance, revenue distribution pools, and sustainable DeFi products.

Crafted by Onem in collaboration with the talents of Creud and Onem Studio, they’ve fashioned a collection in 3D of unparalleled quality, boasting a myriad of customizable variables. This meticulous process has birthed truly one-of-a-kind characters.

 

Process:

In a central concept, our client tasked us with creating three distinct types of characters: human knights, extraterrestrial beings, and apes. We delved into the creative process, exploring various concepts and refining them until we achieved a final result.

This collaborative effort allowed us to breathe life into a diverse and captivating cast of characters, each with their own unique essence and visual identity.

3D Concepts:

We brought forth the initial 3D concepts, which would serve as the foundation for further refinement. This iterative process was integral in bringing our vision to fruition.

Covers:

The covers were primarily utilized for social media announcements and as headers on both Discord and Twitter platforms.

These visually striking designs served as powerful tools to captivate and engage our audience, effectively conveying the essence and appeal of our project across various digital spaces.
