Meet the artist Zelifornia

So I tired to chat to this artist a week or two ago but she wanted to wait til she finished her set which finished this week so lets meet the artist . **Hey** hello hehe **how is it goin?** Good and you I'm alright. slept 12 hrs last night . lol **Good for some 5 hours straight is a good night sleep for me** I think it compensates for the nights that I slept 2-3hrs. **Of course I would guess a lot of late night get NFT's ready . What time is it there at the moment ?** its almost 11pm. what about your side ? Nearly 4 pm **Where you from ?** I'm from Asia. **What country lol ?** (lets keep that from the readers heheh) **Oh ok . How long you creating NFT's ?** I started creating NFT around May but they are not on Atomichub . They were on other BSC marketplaces. **Why did you start on BSC ?** When I first discovered NFT's, I was doing some research about it and mostly people sell on ETH marketplaces. Seemed like many was complaining about the gas fees. A friend told me BSC is more affordable to mint. So I gave it a try. I think at that point, there weren't many BSC marketplace around... hmm. or maybe I just didn't know much about them. **How did you discover WAX ?** One day I got a message on twitter. Someone commissioned me to create something special for him and he told me about Atomichub. I didn't know anything about Atomichub at that point but he guided me on how to setup and everything. That was pretty cool. **Is then when you thought you would use WAX ?** Yea . I think its a pretty good platform. lots of interesting stuff goin on. **How did you come up with the idea for your project ?** All these started when my ex boss asked me to create some mascot for his project beginning of this year. and it has to be in 3D. so I picked up Blender, watched a bunch of tutorials and started creating . after I finished his project, I thought it would be fun to create more stuff using my new found skills. so I keep doin it and setup an Instagram acc. one thing leads to another... and I thought it would be fun to make characters for NFT. Btw I also have other cute animal theme series which is running for a contest. Not sure how that goes **Oh cool what will the winner get from the contest ?** I think cash prize and minting rights on their platform. something like that. **Oh cool is there somewhere we can vote for you ?** I don't think public can vote for that. only selected members of their community. 😕 so fingers crossed. **That's a shame I would of asked for a link so you could get more votes .** thanks... I guess we just leave it to their community. haha preference is subjective. Of course

**So your first series just recently finished is the second season in the works ?** Not really. haha. I probably gotta think about it. but I did learned a lot from this series. like what I should have done instead. **As they say you learn from your mistakes so there will be a 2nd series ?** That's right... I need to plan it out better. **Can I ask what the RP stands for in the RP Kids ?** ohh... its role playing. so you see the characters are like those classic RPG class... Well... except for that guy with all the gold... I didn't name them based on their class... but that guy is a politician. which is not a RPG class that we usually have. haha imagine playing AD&D with your friends and one guy says he wants to be a magical politician that summons chest filled with gold. now that's gonna be fun. OH! I could have made a bard instead.. why didn't I think of that!! **Ha ha I play RPG's should of guessed that lol and you can always release a bard as a special edition** then I'd have 2 charisma character... and then gotta make another set of all the other stats. ohhhh.... series #2 **Exactly so you have your first character**? oh yeah!!! I'm gonna write that down.... probably gonna try something else first... before I get back to RP Kids. Do the other artists always stick to the same theme? **Do you have any ideas for a new set ? and to be honest its down to the artist .** I'd like to try out horror... or sci-fi ... gotta think about it. **Oh sci-fi !!!!! Are you a sci-fi fan ?** I do enjoy some of them but not the super popular ones like star wars. I like Aliens series though . Do u like Sci-Fi? **Love it all types** What's your favourite? **Firefly or stargate would be my favourite shows but way to many movies to mention !!!** ooo. I haven't seen those before. but I heard Firefly is pretty cool. **I love Nathan Fillion** heheh... he's cool **Well do you have other themes to work with at the moment ?** Not yet. but I do have some cute animal theme characters sitting around but they are not NFT yet. I could work on those... I love them very much.. hehe **Well maybe you should have a notepad any ideas write them and work on your animals and when you finish your animal series go through your notes and something might stand out .** yea... just listed down Bard for the next RP kid series. bard with an electric guitar.... hmmm... **What about a band for the next set so marching band rock band pop group and so on ?** hehehe... a fantasy rock band. Anything goes in the NFT world heheh **How about an archer as a drummer ?** I don't know how that works... hehehe.. but maybe . Which is your fav RP kid character? **Strength my favourite**

So what do you do in your free time? **Interview artist lol** LOL . Good answer **How you feel about Collab's have you done many ?** Collab's? ohh.... recently I have a Collab with Cryptopups. she's having a massive Collab with other NFT artists. so excited about it **Was that your first Collab ?** in NFT world... yea. that's the first Collab. **Are you now open to Collab's ?** yea... if its fun. I mean... I have to see if my style works with the others. **That's part of the fun . Is there an artist you would love to do one with ?** Cryptopups!!! 😊 heheh also Beast of Oni... I love his style. **You a dog lover ?** oh yea.. I love dogs... and cats... and rabbits... reptiles not so much... **How many NFT's you created ?** erm... in WAX I have like... er... 8 with different rarities... that doesn't count. 3 or 4 in other platforms. I did burn some... **Oh right what other platforms ?** I have some in Babylons. that's on BSC. **Never heard of it lol** Yea. its not as popular as Airnft. **Do you collect NFT's or just create ?** I do collect as well. especially in Atomichub. so many nice NFTs. its fun to collect. **What's your favourite NFT you have created ?** It has to be Luck.... both the RP Kid luck and the lucky clover luck. but I do like the ninja as well

**Why him ?** Something to do with the process of creating them.... **How do you create each NFT ?** Well... I have the base character. Then I have to figure out their equipment. so I need to so a bunch of research. then what props I need to build for each of them. Sometimes takes a day or 2 then I have to animate each of them differently. (which I shouldn't have... hahhaha) **I think animating NFT's looks great** Thanks... 😁 I tried to make them special. even the low rarity ones. **What programs you using to create your NFT's ?** I'm using Blender. its a free 3D software. its awesome. steep learning curve though thank god for YouTube tutorials. LOL **What advice do you have for new artists?** er... I'm a new artist. hehe I guess id say... try not to give up if its something that you like to do? **Well your not really a new artist you have NFT series out !!!** also study marketing...hahha **Tell us something random about yourself ?** I cracked a tooth eating bread last week. 😅 **Oh god how hard was the bread lol** Its just a toast with butter.... should have drink more milk when I was a kid **Yeap lol** lol make sure kids drink milk **Is creating NFT's a full time job for you now ?** I do some freelance work when they are available... but at this point of time focusing on NFT. its more fun... **When you are not creating NFTs what do you like to do for fun ?** I watch a lot of horror flicks. That's why I wanted to make some horror theme characters... but need to figure out how. **Where can we keep up to date with yourself and your work ?**
