The Client:
Onem & Creud Colaboration project.
The Year:
2021 – ongoing
The Idea:
For several years now, Onem has been captivated by the idea of the Olmec civilization, particularly by its colossal heads, which continue to be unearthed in Mexico after hundreds of years. The concept revolves around repurposing the Olmec head as an icon, but bringing it into the present day and contextualizing it by incorporating elements from both cultural and modern pop culture.
The Collab:
Onem proposed to Creud that they collaborate on this collection, leveraging Creud’s outstanding hard surface modeling skills to complement Onem’s expertise in character design and organic modeling. This partnership holds the potential for producing high-quality pieces through an efficient production process.
This endeavor served as an opportunity for both artists to elevate their skills to a new pinnacle. Remarkably, all 15 of the initial, one-of-a-kind pieces were swiftly snapped up at auction within a single day.
Stay tuned for the upcoming release of their second batch.
We came from the stars, we thrived on them, and our legacy will transcend forever on Jade.
Olmeks
“The Olmeks Collection” offers a truly unique and carefully curated assortment of artistry. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, meticulously crafted with an unwavering attention to detail.
The creative journey begins with initial sketches, which then evolve into intricate 3D models, meticulously painted to perfection. The process culminates in a professional-grade studio render, capturing every nuance and intricacy.
These pieces are meticulously designed to be printed at the utmost quality, guaranteeing that they not only exist in the digital realm as NFTs, but also manifest as tangible works of art. This fusion of the virtual and physical realms creates a truly exceptional and immersive experience for art enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The genesis of the concept originates from an initial sketch, serving as the foundational blueprint. From there, it undergoes a seamless transition into the three-dimensional realm, a process that unfolds in tandem with the emergence of fresh and innovative ideas.
This dynamic interplay between traditional drafting and modern digital sculpting allows for a continuous evolution of the concept, resulting in a refined and well-rounded creative vision.
We aimed for the logo to be truly iconic, simultaneously embodying a font that speaks to modern Mexico. Our aspiration was to craft a symbol that would resonate profoundly, encapsulating the essence of contemporary Mexican identity.
The chosen font, meticulously selected, serves as a visual testament to the vibrancy and dynamism of present-day Mexico, adding an extra layer of significance to the overall design.
