OnePlus 8 Year Anniversary NFT Giveaway Project

I had the great opportunity to work with the phone company OnePlus in collaboration with Ekah (Elis Ekdahl) (https://www.instagram.com/ek4h/ for his work) to create 15 unique rendered images for their 8 year anniversary NFT giveaway! Ekah and I worked together with the marketing team from OnePlus to design 15 renders depicting all of the different generations of phones they have released up until now, and they gave away these as NFTs to Oneplus fans in a promotional event. We had an extremely tight deadline, and the project was successful in generating engagement for the company.

Ekah and I took care to implement details from each phone into the design of each render. I mainly was in charge of the character design + modeling, and overall art direction of the project between the both of us. Ekah took more of a role in designing the backgrounds and creating great materials for the render scene. We both did a lot of deliberating on the design of each image, both between Ekah and I, and with the OnePlus marketing team. Overall it was great working together on this project and I am very thankful to have been asked to be a part of it.

The background mimics a USB-C port, and this phone uses Android Lollipop, so we thought it would be cute to add a lollipop!
