If we want to make our own NFT avatar series, how should we do it?

How to make NFT avatar?

1. Determine the characteristics of the avatar character

No matter which NFT avatar series it is, it is necessary to determine the "characteristics" of its avatar through some basic concepts. For example, the Cryptopunks Founders series, in addition to each avatar being unique, also clearly adopts a nostalgic pixel style, presenting a nostalgic style similar to the 80s and 90s.

Another example is the celebrity-favorite Bored Ape Yacht Club, which is based on a decadent monkey pattern. Before creating your own avatar series, you first need to determine the characteristics of the avatar and whether to choose an animal as a base.

2. Choose "NFT automatic creation software"

It is difficult to find a reliable, practical and free NFT avatar generator on the market. Some NFTs claim to be free. The avatar generator may require an upfront fee or buy back the avatars one by one after generation.

Even if there is free automatic avatar creation software, you still need to pay attention to information security to prevent Trojans from stealing the avatar.

Therefore, generally professional NFT producers will choose to make generators with their own coding instead of relying on the NFT automatic generators in the market. For example, Benyamin Ahmed, a 12-year-old boy from the United Kingdom, has been learning programming since he was a child, so he can create software that combines NFT avatars.

Of course, the most classic way is to assemble or draw by yourself through the most basic drawing software such as Photoshop/AI. However, starting from Cryptopunks, 10,000 avatars are needed to become a "series". Even if only 1,000 avatars are needed, the efficiency of production by this "manpower" alone is very limited.

3. Determine the required automatic avatar generation components

Although it is not inevitable, the current general avatar series is usually composed of 4 or more different parts.

For example, take "Bored Ape Yacht Club" as an example, which includes different designs of "body", "mouth", "eyes", "clothing/hair style", and "background". There is a certain quantity limit for the different accessories corresponding to each part, which can be used to combine multiple rare accessories to create a rare avatar.

Of course, there are also NFT avatar series that are simply designed with different avatars to form an avatar series, but this requires more design accessories and may take more effort from the NFT designer.

4. Setting the story/idea behind the NFT avatar series

Most of the currently popular NFT series have a specific design concept behind them to express the entire avatar series. background story. No matter how wild and imaginative the story is, it is necessary to give the entire avatar series artistic value beyond visuals.

A more special example is "Ghozali Everyday". A teenager from Indonesia has been taking selfies every day since 2017, with the same expression and angle, without interruption, and then uploads the photos The NFT was made and put on OpenSea, and the series description stated that "it's really a picture of me standing in front of the computer day by day."

Whether you think this is a "valuable" background story or not, at least the content of the NFT avatar does correspond to its description. This weirdness has made "Ghozali Everyday" an NFT series that has actually been purchased by people. So far, its market value has reached 384 ETH, or more than 1 million US dollars.
