Our team of brilliant artists, designers, illustrators, and painters from major Hollywood animation studios (Disney, Dreamworks, & Warner Bros.) gave Bit Butts its distinctive art style and twisted sense of humor.
Dave Kupcyzk is a master animator and character designer whose incredible ink line and outrageous sense of humor set the tone for Bit Butts. His cartoony chaos reigns across the entire drop.
Dave’s line drawings were then brought to living color by veteran animation Color Stylist Tristin Cole, who created the unique color palette and painterly style for the collection, and Trish Burgio, who took an illustrator’s approach by pushing the finished artwork from the sublime to the ridiculous with her imagination and storytelling.
Lastly, every item in the collection was hand-painted, hand-selected, and hand-assembled by the team, not generated by an algorithm. Every Bit Butt is a unique 1 of 1, in a 6,666 piece collection full of weird and wonderful surprises.
Each Bit Butt minted results in a bonus to the artists, marking the first time in their careers they’ve actually received “back-end”.
Bit Butts marks the launch of META-X Studio’s audacious Cinematic Metaverse of Web3 Content!
Bit Butts NFT HODLers will become our FOREVER OGs! You’ll be massively rewarded as we launch our next two projects in summer and fall 2022.
Slackerverse™ (a metaverse of pointless, under-powered, superhero wannbees in a fantastic collectible card game), and Bit Pirates™ (arrrguably the most swashbuckling, puzzle-driven, crypto treasure hunt on NFT Worlds™).
Our mission is to drop so much value to META-X OGs that flippers of Bit Butts will be punished throughout Web3 lore for all eternity.
All the community action takes place in our Discord.
