It's almost time for another live stream. Get ready for more exclusive leaks of our art, lore and PFPs!

When you watch the video below you will see exclusive leaks of the Majin companions. They are strategically designed to excite collectors in a similar way as Pudgy Penguins and Pokémon did. Once we release them as PFPs, the entire collection will be in strong demand across a broad audience, because the "cute factor" is an incredibly powerful marketing lever. You can see in the video that we specifically position our IP to cater to the biggest audience possible. That is exactly what made Pudgy Penguins so successful. But our approach is a bit closer to Pokémon, where we offer not only one shape or creature, but multiple different characters which have the potential of becoming as iconic as Pikachu or Charizard. If you look at the concept of our "Mushroom Dog" in the video below, or the companion of the "Goth Girl", you'll get the idea and understand that these characters are made to go viral and designed as very attractive digital collectibles. We have professional character designers and artists from legendary Japanese anime and video game IPs work on the Majin companions. We apply their experience and follow principles which already led to many world renowned characters. An incredible amount of precision go into our approach, and we pay close attention to not only develop new characters but to engineer iconic designs and traits for the entire collection. This is how I plan for Majin to go way beyond web3 and create serious hype and revenue in the traditional entertainment industry.

My favorite bluechips have been created in 2021. Let me show you with the example of @doodles why the passion of the creator is vital to the long-term success of the IP. You’ll see from these early sketched by @burnttoast that there’s an extraordinary amount of creativity flowing into the collection. The characters and traits were drawn with purpose and love for the craft. I believe the point was not to create a product but to create something unique and beautiful. And that intent can be felt so strongly by holders that their art remains relevant and in demand even 5 years later. Doodles, Azuki, BAYC, Cool Cats... it almost looks like we as an industry lost the ability to create evergreen art like this. It's just my personal opinion, but in recent months and years nothing really comes close to the artwork and IPs which were created during the 2021/2022 era. And I think the reason for that is the commercialization of something which primarily should be beautiful. Most new collections focus on selling themselves as a way to make money or as a product. I don’t feel the spirit of passionate artists anymore. As a collector and someone who appreciates beauty I think we lost our way and are headed in the wrong direction where we put the product above the purpose. And as a result most products fail, because they serve no purpose. Or in other words: how can you expect people to love your art if you didn’t love creating it? My work with Majin is focused on bringing that passion, creativity and love for the craft back to digital collectibles. The highest priority is creating something beautiful. Everything else comes second. Because I know if I succeed at that, if the IP truly is something people enjoy looking at, the success will come naturally. And I believe that’s how it happened for all bluechips. Someone put an incredible amount of love into their work, other people could feel and appreciate it, and as a result of that, passionate communities were formed. This is what I aim for and what I hope to achieve by giving our art all the creativity and love I have.
