OVERVIEW

I've often felt that emojis on mobiles lack a bit of vibrancy and can be a little dull. I aimed to put a touch of realism and cuteness into them, elevating the expression someone wants to convey. This idea led me to create "Furmojis."

"Furmojis" is a set of 15 realistic furry emojis crafted using Procreate, and it was available on WazirXNFT. I successfully sold 7 of them, marking my first sale of digital assets. These emojis can be utilized as stickers on various platforms, including WhatsApp.

Diving in the process

I designed a foundational template for Furmojis to streamline the process, I call it "furball". It serves as the background for all Furmojis, now I needed to add expressions to customize and create a variety of them.

Playing with Artifacts

Starting out with the simple smiley emoji, I progressed to crafting more intricate expressions such as "abuse" and "uncle." I explored a range of expressions and experimented with fur colors, incorporating additional elements like bandages, hands, masks, goggles, and more.

Layer Management

Juggling layers for each Furmoji posed its own set of challenges. As a creative, capturing every artifact and expression in a single attempt is not possible. To facilitate my progress, ensure version control, and allow room for iteration, I adhered to the layer structure outlined below for each Furmoji, ultimately saving a significant amount of time.

Retrospection

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process of designing the Furmojis. Despite having explored Procreate for some time, this project allowed me to delve even deeper, mastering the intricacies of layer management and recognizing its significance.

Simultaneously, being engaged in selling the Furmojis on the WazirX NFT Marketplace added an extra dimension to the experience. Connecting with people who appreciated the set and expressed interest in purchasing them was both enjoyable and challenging, particularly for someone not accustomed to interacting with strangers extensively.

In essence, the journey of creating, marketing, and ultimately successfully selling the Furmojis was a profound learning experience that I found immensely satisfying.
