Overview

Creature World NFT is a collection of 10,000 creatures inspired by Danny Cole’s physical Creature World paintings that have unique traits including varying backgrounds, creature designs, decorations, eyes, foreground, mouth, outfit, and overlay.

Cole mentioned in The Creature NFT Discord group that,

"I was very intentional about the included traits and allowed combinations of traits in order to maintain each output to look like a window into a fully composed world”.

As of September 14, there are more than 4,900 owners in the project and nearly 15,000 members in its Discord group. The Twitter account for the project also has more than 16,300 followers^[2].

According to Danny Cole, the project was minted (pre-sold) and no assets were reserved for the team members as this would give followers a fair chance at getting them^[3].

Creature World is the first Nifty Gateway "verified" project officially listed on the platform. Being a “verified” project means that it has been created by the person or team who claimed to create it, is not curated by the Nifty team, met Nifty Gateway legal standards, and their smart contract standards^[4].

NFT Drop

This NFT collection was originally scheduled to drop on August 27, 2021, but it was moved to August 29, 2021, to avoid gas wars because there were too many drops scheduled to be released on that day.

The entire collection was sold out in 13 minutes. As of September 14, 2021, the total traded volume of the collection on OpenSea is more than 14.4k ETH.
