This one is great, right? Considering the circumstances under which it was created and the short time frame, I am more than happy with this week's cover. We had discussed another concept, but I found out the chosen medium (VR art) won't work on Sunday midday. Also felt sick all day – probably from sunstroke.

So we jumped on a call with Red for swift talk about how we could design a kick-ass cover in half of a day. We planned on showing pickles among other references in the original concept, but the idea of Pickled NFTs in a jar came like a miracle at the very last moment.

Let's fkn do it! I fired up Cinema4D staged a 2 hour test sprint to ensure the execution was heading the right direction. After the first sample render we knew something good was brewing! The old desktop computer is an homage to Sir Tim's www source code (on the screen) NFT auction.

Apes are quite frequent inhabitants of our covers the last couple of weeks, but Bored Apes has undeniably became a phenomenon we needed to record for the future. Same for the Shiba Inu, in this case, SuperShiba coming to accompany his chim-pal. 

Sunken DOg Kennel at the bottom of the jar and NO-TO-DMCA sign are both quite self-explanatory. Jeez. I almost forgot to mention, the pickled cucumber that sparkled it all as a symbol of the week!

Last but not least, our friendly hypeman Mark Cuban, woven into the rug with Titan yarn. Congratulations Mark, you've finally made it onto the RLEG cover!

The final touch made was the tiny shiny happy people. This trick never gets old, and it emphasizes the jars epic proportion.

CGI artwork is super fun to create, but you are hostage to the rendering process that takes a lot of time and leaves little room for errors. Meeting our strictly scheduled meant a bit of drama and pressure, but we made it once again! 💪 See you next time.
