Art Revamp and Animation Unlock
##OVERVIEW Work will be split into 2 phases.
The goal is to elevate the art, make cleaner PFPs, add more diversity, and create more masculine variants. The original PFP artists will be hand-coloring and doing the lineart.
Phase I will visually remove ALL traits temporarily except MYTHIC, Yokai earrings and Posthuman dimension traits from Capsule PFPs. We will explore keeping other traits that may work well for certain variants but no promises, as it may just be easier to deal with them when they are redrawn later on. We will also unlock full animation and music for everyone. This will be the default form. We will also be removing several background items to create a cleaner PFP and to show more of the Seerlight background.
Phase II will have Kaejunni redraw 20 variants. See our linked Figma for details.
-
Holders will be able to OPT OUT and revert back to the original artwork and have it reflected in the metadata on our new website being built.
-
Traits will be redrawn and re-added to PFPs. The trait rework will be done in a seperate proposal. The plan is to show around 1-2 traits and make them look thematically uniform and subtle. Traits that do not fit will not be added back in (donuts, horns, etc).
-
Capsules that were originally animated or burned Zodiacs to change backgrounds will be marked with special trait. OG animators and anyone who wishes to burn a full set of Zodiacs will be airdropped a Seerlight background as a standalone NFT. Edition size will be capped at 250 and animators must claim the airdrop. Those who do not claim the Posthuman background airdrop will remain eligible for future airdrops. Zodiacs will also be considered for future drops.
A new website will be built to support our new changes and consolidate our other sites into one.
