This will be the place where I will share WIPs and ask for feedback.
Plan is to decide on the final mascot design by mid September and have a character sheet and 3D model ready by the end of September.
October will be all about illustrating the half/full body illustrations in different poses to use for graphics, guides etc. as well as the Discord sticker/emoji set (which will also serve as graphic assets to use).
November and December we’ll work on the mascot guide as well as the paperwork: terms of usage and the IP owner transfer.
You don’t know what I’m talking about?
No worries!
It’s about my approved AIP. I’m designing the ApeCoin mascot and bringing it to life.

Yep that’s the plan!
I’ll prepare sketches for 4 torsos, 4 heads, 4 leg designs, 4 arm designs…
And then there will be a vote across all platforms (X, Discord, forum).
So in the end the entire community influenced the final design. I think that’s beautiful… It shouldn’t be the product of just 1 community member

Beautiful art is always good. Where do you plan to use these mascots?

You can read all about it in the AIP.
It can be used for anything as long as it’s not against the terms of usage which will be defined later this year.

Looks great! Are there any accessories you are thinking of that Apekin might need? Like a backpack or a utility belt to hold any hardware wallets?

Oh yeh I think over the next few months he’ll have so much personality and with that comes accessories and such. Maybe he likes to dress up like his idols over at BAYC!
