10 293

So this Meet the Artist is a special one as its not just one artist is both artist from Tachitachi13 if you dnt know them they are specialists in Japanese NFT universe so let introduce them Dali and Maxi so let jump in

Dali :We re super excited to get featured ❀ And also thanks for considering us

Its my pleasure

Dali : We re a pretty small and unknown presence 😁😁😁😁

Maxi: hello there

Dali :Meet maxi, the other half of tachi^^

Maxi: hello, how are you I am Maximillian, nice to meet you 😜

Hi and welcome thank you both for your time how are you both today ?

Dali : Struggling in the rat race ahajahah

Aren't we all lol

Maxi : Got some work today, and after I want to make an illustration for our puzzle we make a puzzle for our community, and if they resolve it, they will win a 1/1 red oni's hologram the first one who resolve it :)) ***

And how long does it normally take for the community to solve the puzzle ?

Dali : This is gonna be a longer one😊😊😊

Maxi : we hope at least, I think I make it pretty easy

And red oni's reminds me of samurai jack

Dali : We usually make all sorts of puzzles and riddles in our group Of aku?😜😜😜😜😜

Maxi : samurai jack was and it is my favorite cartoon and got an aku tattoo on my hand😊😊😊😊

Maxi : https://wax.atomichub.io/drops/19289

If someone want the key, they need to beat the puzzle first

On 18th we will give our first clue and after that we don't give anymore clues

So can I ask how you guess meet and decide to work together ?

Dali : Met through a common friend . And it kind of just happened 😊

Maxi : like Dali is an art director, and i am just a graphic designer, and i was into a project and need a feedback for a person with more experience and that common friend recommended Dali . And after i show my work , we start to chat and bee friends so after some time I discover the NFT and tell Dali about that

So how long do you know each other ?

Maxi :1 year I think

Dali :I think it might be less than a year ahahah . But there are some people you just click with

Total agree

And when did you's decide to jump into NFT design ?

Dali : A major + point for me was the anonymity . I've always loved drawing, but kind of kept it to myself and some close friends . And this kind of offered the opportunity to put my art out without any fear and yes, it shouldn't make sense, it s a very emotional based decision

And I also never collaborated with anyone on my drawings and that seemed like a lot of fun. You never know what you re gonna end up from a clash of different artistic approaches 😊😊😊 Oh, saw it now, you asked when, not why, ahahaha

Ha ha

Dali : Guess it was about a month and a half ago?

I think Collab is a great think in this NFT community you open your work up to people who mightn't have seen in the first place and the great think is the community will always give proper feedback and support one the reason I love it

Dali : Same here ❀

So where you's based ?

Dali : Romina but different cities

So what the Tachitachi13 twitter account?

https://twitter.com/Tachitachi131?s=20

Check there twitter page out and show them some love by giving them a follow

What's the telegram channel ?

@tachitachi13

So have you's done any Collab's outside of your team ?

Dali : Our first Collab was with thederpycats ❀

Maxi : Yea, and after the Collab we manage to donate all the money to people who don't have what to eat . I was very happy when i see that our art can change the world somehow, for that 55 people, we make their day better and somehow that feeling make me to draw more and more haha

Dali : ❀

Thederpycat is brilliant

And we re working on two more but we re keeping them as a surprise 😊😊😊

Maxi : 😁😁😁

Any hints at all ?

Dali : One of them is very close to our theme n style The other is completely different 😁😁😁

In terms of aesthetic, theme, approach, everything . We re super excited about both of them

Oh interesting

Dali can I ask how do you feel being female in the NFT world as a few artist who are female hide that fact and some are very proud ?

Dali :Tbh, I don t feel like much being a female in the NFT world 😊😊😊 I feel like an artist, just like other artists. I respect others gender identity but to me, we re all people and should be proud of who we are, irregardless of gender, nationality and so on

Totally agree I dnt think NFT fans see gender they see artists I do know some artist hide there gender

Maxi :My opinion about this is that the female are more creative than us, I have moments when I get stuck and Dali unstuck me in like 1 minute 😜

Dali : Comes with experience mostly and it s easier to see things if you re not involved with them

Maxi : You right

That's what is great about working in a team when u get stuck you can bring in fresh eyes to give there opinion

Dali : Yeah

So what do you's do for a day job ?

Dali :I m an art director . Work in advertising

Any ads I might know ?

Dali : You might, but I have a very very strict NDA

That's fair enough

Maxi : I quit my job to make NFT's, and I give it all to my art 😁😁😁😁😁

So what's your inspiration for your NFT's ?

Dali :We both like japan and we know that everyone loves anime . We also do:)))) But we kind of wanted to show something else too so we dug a lil bit deeper into the art and folklore

Maxi : We try to make mythological base art

I have to say japan culture is quite interesting and I do like some anime I think the first anime I seen was ghost in the shell

Maxi : And we read a lot about it, about creatures and gods . Mine was dragon ball z

Dali : Anime s on a completely different level

Maxi :or how my mother calls it "son goku"

Dali : 😁😁😁😁😁

Ha ha . I think gods and creatures are very interesting and is such a big area

Dali : Yeah, we re a small niche, buuuut there are so many things we could showcase and that's what we re planning on doing

I don't think its a niche you would be surprised how many people who enjoy japan and its culture I also think your work is brilliant so even if people dnt like anime I think your work stands out for its self

Dali : Aww, thanks. We've put a lot of work in it and a lot of soul, also And it s really fun to work in a team . Besides the mix of style and taste, it s also about knowing that there s always someone who s gonna have your back and that s a great feeling

Can I ask how long for thought to finished NFT does it take ?

Dali : Depends to me, the line art takes the most time, until you get it just right, you know and then there s coloring and shading and backgrounds and animation But it's good we split the process between the two of us . So that it fits our skills in the best way possible I d say overall about a week per piece . Like a finished piece with animation and all

Wow that long and who normally has the final say lol

Maxi : The Red oni NFT's took us 2 week to made

It was worth it

Maxi :❀️

Dali : Well, you also have to take into consideration the fact that I get to work on them just at nights I am not doing good on the free time spectrum ahahahah We both have the final say . We've yet to experience a situation where we can t decide on smth we both like . Guess it s bound to happen at some point, but I m confident we ll figure it out:)))

What's free time I have 2 kids work shift and try do meet the artists articles as much as I can lol

Dali : Yeah . Free time= time you re supposed to spend sleeping at this point Ahahahah

Sleep what's that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dali : Sleep is a lie

You sleep enough when you die

So Maxi is this your main job ?

Maxi : Yea, something like that somehow tachi works almost 24h per day cuz I work on it by morning to night and in night Dali is on them

Wow so you have 24 hour interaction with fans

Maxi : Almost

Dali : We try to at least

Maxi : I think is a gap of 4 of 5 hours

Dali :😁😁😁 And that's when we sleep ahahahaha . The group has people from all over the world, it s really fun to get a good morning message when here s like 4am

Ah the random 4am message lol

So do you's have website for all your work ?

Dali : In progress . We re working on the website and the Instagram page

Maxi : So I think it will take some times cuz we don't know how to do it exactly so I need to learn first

Well at least you can reach out to the community ask for help .

Oh really I find a lot of artist prefer telegram and twitter for chatting to fans and some are slowly making sites as well

Dali :Well, telegram is super direct . If anyone has any sorts of questions, they can just write there one of us will surely answer.

So much easier

Dali : But so far people have been chatting to us on twitter too . It s a great way to discover your peers . Was very scared of it in the beginning

That's how I discover most of the NFT artist through other artist

Dali : Twitters the least used social media platform in our country

In Romania twitter isn't that big ?

Dali : Oh yes, we have no doubts. People have taught us a lot of things in just a month and a half .The amount of support feels surreal

Its great I love asking the community for artist to chat to and I will always get a new artist I haven't seen before

Dali : I was expecting some sort of every man for himself approach and felt extremely delighted to find a community that would help, no questions asked

I know I think everyone helping each other helps the community grow

Dali : It feels like were in this together and tbh I haven't found this kind of support anywhere else so far . It's just amazing and still feels unbelievable Yeah, and to the root of it . Art is something so very subjective . So when someone lifts you up it feels like you're on top on the world . We re trying to do the same for others and hope we re doing at least at it decent job

So are you's artist or do you collect as well ?

Maxi : We all so collect and show support to other artist one of our favorite Stocci studio, he is a great artist, and a very nice man . We're artists, but we want to collect in the near future too because we've seen a lot of things we like and we also want to support other artists

Dali : Right now we just have a few pieces from other artists

Stocci is a great artist I chatted to him a few weeks ago

Dali : Yes, love that minimalist style and his brushwork is top

Maxi : Yep, another artist that we like is koncepton he makes anime style art and I really like their puzzle

So what would be favorite NFT you own at the moment ?

Maxi : I like this very much

I meant one you didnt create lol

Dali : Hmmm, I like stocci s "be patient"

Dali : And japanstamp22 s ghost . But if were asking about favourites, stocci s for sure . I love the simplicity that can tell a whole story

Oxo production is the artist I love his Donny one

Maxi : wow sorry hahaha japanstam22 ghost too

Dali : And it's the story you make in your head, based on your experience and what that piece resonates with from your experience Gonna look it up, thanks for that

No problem I was chatting to him last week he is a French artist

Dali : I m making some coffee, do any of you guys want some, ahahahah

Thanks but IL take tea if its going lol

Dali : Sure, I have black, white, coconut, jasmine, Indian, you name it. I love tea

Maxi : Never drink coconut tea

Oh god coconut tea that's just just wrong . I live on tea

Dali : It s lavender and coconut and it s blue and smells SO GOOD

So can I ask have you guys meet face to face yet ?

Maxi : No but Dali is one of my best friend

Dali : Ahaha, same here As I was saying you just happen to click with some people We've been talking non stop since we me and I don't really feel the age gap

Maxi : We live in diferent cityes for the moment, but I will move to her city soon

Dali : There s like a 7 year age gap between us

Maxi : And after that we will spend much time together

Dali : Ahahaha, that sounds like a threat, bring it on

Ah that's cool you will have to meet up to celebrate your creations ?

Maxi : To celebrate our team and friendship . I think Dali is my first "online" friend

I have gaming friends that I know over 10 years that live in my country and still have never meet up with lol

Maxi : Hope we meet soon, we play a lot of games too

So what games you play ?

Maxi : We play apex legend, dead by daylight, Minecraft, rocket league, Overwatch and more

I use to play rocket league alot on my ps4

Maxi : I am not so good at it

Dali :Neither am I

Just kind of play a lot of cod on ps5 nowadays

Maxi : I play cod too, but Dali doesn't play

Must join up in a lobby sometime !!!!!!!

So what programs do you's like to use to create ?

Maxi : illustrator, procreate, photoshop, after effects, blender 3d

Dali : Same stuff, sometime also krita, very FREE to use, very nice brushes and now I am also trying my luck with adobe fresco . Seems pretty cool . Maxi does all the 3d part though

Maxi : And Dali most of the animated part

Really so is everything hand drawn first

Dali : Tablet drawn . Yeah, we start from a sketch and then whoever has time does the inking and then we just figure it out who does what depends on time and preference . It s a pretty chill process I d say

So what are you's working on at the moment ?

Dali :Another piece for our mythology badge collection . The two collabs . The puzzle we re about to release .The website we have some things to take care of

So you have 4 NFT projects and the website so your busy lol

Dali : Yeah, kind of . Just wanted to show u guys my pretty pretty cup

Ha ha that is a pretty cup

Maxi : yes it is

Dali :Done by a friend of mine who does lettering trying to get her to join the NFT gang too she has a lot of pretty stuff

So would ever get her to do some of your NFT's on clothing or cups ?

Dali : Dunno yet .But it would be so cool if she signed up

Maxi : I was thinking like making card for real maybe

Dali : Would def collect her stuff

So at the moment how many sets or collections have you made and how many would you like to create ?

Maxi : We have just 1 collection for now but we will do many more

What advice did you have new artists coming into NFT market ?

Maxi : To be constant and persevering, not to look for money and to always give back whoever helps them

Dali : And that they should always follow their intuition with their art . Yeah, trends are fun but the whole point of this . Is that can do literally whatever you want ?

So is your cards only available on Atomichub ?

Maxi : Yes, and we will continue publish just on atomic hub

https://wax.atomichub.io/explorer/collection/tachitachi13

Have you looked on other sites ?

Maxi : Yes but for us wax is just perfect

That's fair enough are you whitelisted ?

Maxi : Yep, we got whitelisted pretty fast

And how about token head ?

Maxi : We know about it, and already got some info, but now is not the moment, we are focusing on our community

Of course

Maxi : But in the future we will get listed on token head too

So its in the pipeline ?

Maxi : Yup, sure it is and maybe we will get there pretty soon . The admins know about us already

So what do for fun when you aren't creating ?

Maxi : For me creating is fun

Dali : I make illustrations for kids Or video games . In the good times before corona, used to hang out with friends too

Maxi : and playing with my animals πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
