The creation of the Crypto Cartel’s artwork involved a computer script generating various permutations and combinations. Through numerous iterations, the team ensured that each character possessed both similarity and distinctiveness, making every member of the cartel feel unique. From cigars to bottles of champagne, each character boasts props in both hands, while showcasing diverse fashion styles ranging from tropical attire to winter gear.

The promotional artwork for this project drew inspiration from the distinctive traits of classic mafia movies, capturing the essence of the Crypto Cartel’s theme.

During my involvement in this project, I contributed to the character illustration and artwork used on the website, while also taking a leading role in designing and developing the project website itself, utilizing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

The Crypto Cartel members are categorized into two collections: the Classic Collection and the Legacy Collection. The Legacy Collection offers animated versions of the Crypto Cartel characters, characterized by opulent designs with gold gradients that exude a regal aura. Hyperactive background effects add an eye-catching quality to these unique NFTs.

The project’s logo was meticulously designed to evoke a sense of luxury. A golden gradient overlays a rose drawing, symbolizing the grand lifestyle enjoyed by the members of the Metavilla within the metaverse.

Speaking of the metaverse, Crypto Cartel members live their digital lives in their own Metavilla. Inspired by world maps in classic video games, the Metavilla serves as a graphical representation of various aspects of the Crypto Cartel, providing a captivating virtual environment for members to explore and interact.
