A Well Renowned Artist About To Launch NFT Collection With Astar Network
The well-known artist Yoshitaka Amano has revealed a collaboration with the multichain smart contract platform Astar Network for his first NFT collection.
Amano will hand-draw 108 angels for the “Candy Girl” NFT collection, which will be made available on the Astar blockchain.
Yoshitaka Amano is without a doubt a legendary artist of the twenty-first century, according to Sota Watanabe, founder and CEO of Astar Network. I consider it a great honor to collaborate with him and serve as the host of his debut NFT on Astar Network.
In addition, Astar revealed plans to create a Web3 entertainment website for the “Candy Girl” collection that will act as a branch to new galleries, entertainment, and designers.
The “Candy Girl” NFT collection is the first instance of Amano’s well-known art to appear on a blockchain.
A Renowned Artist
World-renowned Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano is responsible for the enduring visuals in the video games “Speedracer,” “Sandman: The Dream Hunters,” and, most notably, “Final Fantasy.”
Amano is a pioneer in creating impossibly fantastic worlds that are inspired by his interests in Western culture. His distinctive brand of Japanese art is renowned throughout the world.
For people to see and appreciate my work is a bonus, Yoshitaka Amano said. It increases my desire to draw. That was the situation when I was a child, and it hasn’t altered since then.
Additionally, Amano’s potent artwork has inspired him to work with more than 20 authors, resulting in illustrated books that have sold millions of copies.
Astar’s Mission
Astar is achieving its goal of bringing the East to the West, fine art to blockchain technology, and world leaders to the Web3 world through this exclusive NFT collection.
Astar Network claims itself as the blockchain of choice for professional artists to produce, sell, and display their work.
All of the major exchanges and tier 1 VCs have already backed Astar’s ecosystem, which has already overtaken Polkadot as the leading Parachain globally.
The platform’s Build2Earn model enables developers to receive payment for the code they write and the dApps they create via a dApp staking mechanism.
Twin Planet
Additionally, the ‘Candy Girl’ NFT collection heralds the beginning of Astar Network’s collaboration with Twin Planet, the talent agency that manages Yoshitaka Amano and other well-known performers.
The real world will be directly accessible to NFT ownership of fine art through a Web3 entertainment site that will be run by Astar.
Because of this, “Candy Girl” aspires to pave the way for Japanese content producers to truly own and disseminate their art worldwide.
This partnership aims to assist artists in creating their digital assets and distributing them to the public over a reliable and secure network.
In fact, Amano’s exquisite collection of angels has already influenced high fashion at the Mitsukoshi Ginza’s “Discover Tokyo” event and clothing design at the “Tokyo Girls Collection 2017.”
