[CARDANO GENISIS BLOCK ID]

GENISIS BLOCK CONCEPT

"BIG BANG" GRAPHIC

When discussing this project with the CF team, we decided to use Cardano’s Genesis Block as an influence for the design.

The genesis block held 14,505 transactions, the original voucher transactions on the chain. These are represented as a 3D animated cloud of 14,505 slips that vary in size based on the amount in the transaction.

Cardano is generally known for it’s technical-conscious audience, I believe it’s what attracts people to the ecosystem. This abstract graphic is intended to appeal to that crypto-punk vibe in a cool and subtle manner — a nerdy conversation starter but it doesn’t scream “Crypto-Bro.”

To vary the size of the slips based amount of ADA in each transaction, the blocks metadata was used to create a ~120×120 pixel PNG with the value of each pixel corresponding to the amount.

This PNG was then mapped onto the emission object and set with a constraint that adjusts the size of each particle.

The Design

I wanted to give a sense of scale to the block, showcasing the amount of transactions eternalized within it, a visual representation of the blocks metadata.

The small emblem on the back contains the Cardano logo and “Est.” with the genesis block ID, a nerdy-joke since the ID can be quired to find the exact start of the chain, down to the second.

PROOF-OF-PURCHASE

DIGITAL ASSET NFTs

Hopefully the start of a tradition with CF merch, these t-shirts are accompanied with NFTs to serve as a digital proof-of-purchase. Whether lost, or faded after years of wash cycles, this token was created to live on past a shirt’s natural/finite lifespan — a digital memento.

The media included inside the token is the animation used to create the graphic.

Fragile Thoughts

Fragile, handle with care.

We go through life accompanied by our fragile thoughts. They’re the ideas we dream up, but, for one reason or another they are difficult to peruse. Its important to remember to handle your fragile thoughts with care.

The Shrine

Inside “Fragile Thoughts” is a small shrine of Snoo that is revealed when equipping a blank head, eyes and body trait.

This concept of hidden shrines is something I plan to continue with and build upon with future RCA releases.

Fragile Thoughts [SIGNED]

Signed Avatars are sort of a tradition in the RCA community. When I was first asked to do one I thought it would be cool to mint them, so this piece was created to be like a paint swatch of the avatar to give as a thank you.

Each edition is signed and numbered by hand, and many of them also include a small message.

Fragile Thoughts holders are welcome to reach out to me for one of these (as long as the number you’re holding does not already have a signed version).

The Shards

The Shards is a collection of nine 1/1 pieces created from single shards that made up the Fragile Thoughts character. This collection was created to celebrate the RCA collection, and to have some pieces of Fragile Thoughts on my home blockchain, Cardano.

Five of the Nine shards will be raffled in the Kreate Mega Drop 2 (an event celebrating artists on Cardano). The four remaining pieces are listed on Kreate.

Jesus 2 — Parallax Cards

The Animation

Jesse Moynihan and Jono (leading the Jesus 2 project) reached out about creating special Parallax cards for the final character release series.

With the animation, my aim was to bring the cards themselves to life, make them feel alive, as if they’re excited to show themselves off. Luckily, the stunning graphics created by Jesse gave a lot to show off.

Clay Nation | Environmental Design

Study Environments

My tasks while work working with Clay Labs was creating 6 concept environments inside Unreal Engine, two for each of the main regions; Sonic Village, Baked Nation and The Underworld.

Concept sketches were initially drawn up by illustrators on the team, then with those sketches, I modeled, textured and constructed the scenes within Unreal Engine.

UE5 Environments

All 6 scenes were constructed as interactive environments within the engine. These scenes served a hand full of uses, including conceptualizing the wider environment as well as producing a wide variety of landscaping assets and materials.

Excluding the character models, all of the landscapes, models and materials were created by me for these concept scenes.

Parametric Clay Material

Since my task required so many different types of materials, I spent much of my free time developing a parametric clay material that I used to texture everything from ground materials to road signs.

With all the assets being clay styled, this also assured that materials were consistent throughout the scenes, and any major changes to the base material (PBSAR algorytm) could be updated across all assets fairly seamlessly.

Clay Material SBSAR

General 3D Modeling

All models and vegetation in these scenes were modeled by me as well. A majority of the assets were sculpted, retopologies and were material painted.

A handful of the objects were created moduly or non-destructive, giving us the ability to quickly create variations.

$EARTH — Token Design

The Design

For this commission, the Unbounded Earth team reached out to me with the idea of creating an animated token. We ultimately went with a gyroscope design, a play on their name.

This design naturally broke the coins faces into 4 separate sections. We took advantage of this by incorporating creative and useful elements into the design, notably the two Policy IDs, one used to verify the projects metaverse assets, and the other to authenticate the coin itself.

The Preserve Renderings

The Preserve

The Preserve is a 3500 acre luxury outdoor sporting club & private residence located in Richmond, Rhode Island. I had the opportunity of working at the facility’s in-house architecture and engineering office. There, I created graphics, plans & renderings that were used for proposals and promotional material. Many of the buildings in the renders are a mix of BIM models created in Revit for The Preserve and models created by myself while working there. Some building models were created by others in the office or outsourced architects.

The most ambitious project I took on while at The Preserve was a birds eye view render of the 3500 acre property in it’s current state. I used the work from this project later on to create these detailed renderings for proposals.
