The NFTs consist of 8 animated pieces set in the Polymorphism Universe, an environment in which the intricate beings that inhabit it have unconventional methods of locomotion. The visual style blurs the line between traditional, hand-drawn techniques and modern CGI tools. The art direction is informed by themes of psychedelia, retro-futurism, and pop surrealism.

Each piece is crafted with original music and sound design by media artist and music producer Drasko V.

The visuals for POLYMORPHIC almost always begin with the creatures, often in a very iterative fashion. I don’t go into the designs with a sketch or idea of how the creature should look — somewhere along the way I tend to regurgitate forms and anatomical features from existing animals into the designs. 

Every iteration of the creature is informed by imagining how I think that being would exist in its environment: How does it move? What sensory features does it use to make sense of its environment? Does it travel by itself or in a group? I like to think that every visible feature is informed and serves a purpose.

All of the separate designs are married together with a visual treatment, creating a consistent look and feel for the universe. Black outlines of every object give the feeling that the creatures are hand-drawn. Limited and saturated color palettes, often with two dominant colors, give it a duo-tone look. The pieces are textured and colored after the design and animation phase in 2D — this helps dial in a 2D / 3D hybrid aesthetic.
