Everyone! Legend of Sabinenya has been selected to feature on Titles.xyz! (Landing page soon™!) So much good news to unpack but first for the tl;dr- How to create your character - Go to https://titles.xyz/ - Click Create - Go to Explore Models and select Legend of Sabinenya - Have fun! Connect your wallet to mint your work officially to titles.xyz o Mints are published on Base Mainnet (BASE) Background: What is Sabinenya? Sabinenya is a far-off distant world in a parallel dimension, where the apex lifeforms have a humanoid-like appearance but are visibly attuned to elements of their planet’s makeup from birth. Having the capacity to harness these gifts grants citizens special status, with a handful of individuals being born in an era capable of summoning the great elemental deities into their being without bodily harm due to the unique conduit nature of their biological makeup. This collection focuses on the development of your true likeness within this alternate reality. When I brought Legend of Sabinenya to web3 back in Jan of this year, I intended it to be an illustrative series depicting the people, places and events held in the world of Sabinenya. I was recently presented an opportunity to bring this series to Titles.xyz and I couldn’t be more excited. (HUGE Thank you to @lens/sorenwrenn💯✨ !) I wanted to solve for customization in a way that ‘traditional’ web3 pfp projects hold great opportunity, while preserving the IP of my concept built within the Retrofuturistic Impressionism aesthetic I have developed over the last 2 years. Legend of Sabinenya – Aesthetic and Design Intent The Aesthetic: Retrofuturistic Impressionism- this is the chosen aesthetic of this series. It is a merger of two major artistic aesthetics- Retrofuturism and Impressionism that speak to the nature of my work and greater aesthetic intent. Character Design Intent: Each design used to model Legend of Sabinenya uses a blend of science and fantasy. Using my known haplogroup, known ancestral lines traced back 1000’s of years and known modern day lineage locations, I use what I am down to my DNA to guide character design intent for a unique, authentic human fingerprint within each character design. The intent is to honor that which made it possible for me to be here today, known and unknown. Being a consumer of illustrative media in childhood , I would frequently look for alternative media that would readily depict people that look like me faithfully. The chosen illustrative aesthetic is homage to how I give back to my global community. So, yeah! I invite everyone to explore creating your vision of Sabinenya, and feel free to share your results! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting this vision and my work as we continue in this adventure, together!
We pass the word around; we ponder how the case is put by different people, we read the poetry; we meditate over the literature; we play the music; we change our minds; we reach an understanding. Society evolves this way, not by shouting each other down, but by the unique capacity of unique, individual human beings to comprehend each other.

Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.
Sweet Gms frens 🥰 Someone couldn’t wake up yet 😅
Try a thing you haven't tried before three times--once to get over the fear, once to find out how to do it, and a third time to find out whether you like it or not.

Gm frens! Time to enjoy spring with lots of grass and sun ☀️🌿 Happy Sunday to all 💚 My hat 🧢 @lens/shefi X @lens/ensocollective
Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.
Shello amazing beings, Today I am following @lens/stani and @lens/paris suggestions. I decided to share "THE RIDDLE" (Oil on Canvas 60x80 cm). This piece is a riddle itself. It has been selected among favourites at the Michelangelo prize (granting me a prize) in Rome couple years ago and has been published by the ART NOW art magazine. I decided to push the $BONSAI game by Selling the NFT AND THE PHYSICAL PIECE for 100 000 Bonsai.🌊 Some of you don't know that I have a long career as oil painter on my back that gave me a lot of satisfaction and some on my NfT are in the MOCA genesis collections (yes I started doing NFTs super early). As a neurodivergent girl few people really get the huge wall between what is inside and what someone manages to communicate. Painting and art has always been my escapism. The only place where I can be weird without fear of judgment. Being a mermaid is for me the easy way to approach society being free to ask simple emotions or response. Bubbly bye for now
Alright now that we can get back to business.. What are some BIG ideas for getting $bonsai into the hands of more people, and (maybe) driving demand 🙂 I have a few - l3 chain (degen playbook, but we can do better) - tipping in and outside of lens (requires creativity) - rewarding your attention (BAT 2.0) - ?? We want YOU to be part of the convo 🫡
It means a lot in my business and its a wonderful feeling to be recognized for what you have done over a lifetime, but I didn't go crazy. I still eat my cereal in the morning, have a sandwich in the afternoon, go to bed at night. You know, nothing really different.
