Orca2Orca

Foreward It's Reward the Builders szn and while the Nouns being awarded are fresh and clean, there isn't one that fits long-time Nounish builder CoralOrca. So far, we've honored prolific ecosystem devs with uniquely matching Nouns, but haven't yet gifted a Noun for important media and art contributions. I propose that CoralOrca be honored with Noun 175 in recognition of his significant achievements to media proliferation.

Gift this orca to CoralOrca 👆

Why? Nouns has an orca head because of CoralOrca. But being the inspiration for a trait isn't enough. CoralOrca has been building with Nouns since the beginning. The Nounders were amazed when he posted a 3D Noun in June 2021 ("Someone made box head noun into 3d, this is amazing ) and he was dubbed "the first Nouns DAO builder" by 4156. After launch, CoralOrca teamed up with 0xFloyd to create the first media proposal (Prop 2) which brought all 200+ Noun heads and traits to life in 3D as well as make them CC0, a non-obvious move in 2021. The open-source 3D avatars were used widely throughout the ecosystem and beyond.

As we know, that's just the start; 2.5 years later CoralOrca is still actively creating and proliferating. I can't keep track of every project, proposal, ideation, rendering, and experiment CoralOrca has worked on, so I asked him to highlight these achievements in his own words 👇

Hey there! It's Coralorca, dedicated to contributing to Nouns everyday, forever via my passion for 3D, design and code.

In June 2021 I became obsessed with those mischievious pixelated characters. By October 2021, I quit my normie job and fully immersed myself in Nouns. Since then, I've successfully proposed and passed four on-chain proposals. Noun 51 kindly delegated their noun last may, allowing me to become an active voter in the DAO.

Nouns is an extraordinary and unique project and I am committed to playing this game for as long as possible, and to the best of my ability. Got plenty of ideas that I want to build with Nouns in the future!

Owning my own Orca Noun would truly be a dream come true. (Nouns trivia: Eboy added it to the collection because I kept pestering the official account)

Thank you for your consideration in giving me noun 175 and a big thanks to 9999 for sponsoring this prop!
