NFTs FFRC PROJECT EVOLUTION 2022 TO 2023
The Origins of the Fennix Fox Royal Club
Explore in youtube the Movies from this project.
In the vast heat of the Dubai desert, a unique idea began to take form in 2022: the birth of the Fennix Fox Royal Club (FFRC) — a collection of 10,000 NFTs designed entirely by human hands, with no AI involved.
Inspired by the symbolism of the desert fox — elegant, sharp, and resilient — FFRC began as a pencil sketch. The concept was to create a visual identity that would stand as a cultural bridge: luxury characters with desert roots, global ambition, and urban elegance.
Building the Ecosystem
By 2024, the renders were ready. 10,000 unique NFTs had been generated — a monumental effort that required not only artistry, but technical precision.
To manage this massive dataset, a custom NFT Manager v6 was developed entirely in Python. This software included:
-
NFT batch viewing & editing
-
Layer-based JSON trait generator
-
Automated rarity classification
-
Export functionality for C4D and blockchain compatibility
A special C4D Python script was also written to handle layer exports and batch rendering inside Cinema 4D, streamlining an otherwise unmanageable pipeline.
The Process Behind the Art
Every aspect of FFRC was meticulously crafted using a suite of professional tools:
-
🖌 ZBrush, Maya, and Cinema 4D for character modeling and posing
-
🎨 Photoshop, Illustrator, and Substance Painter for textures and looks
-
👕 Marvelous Designer to simulate realistic clothing and garments
Working alongside talented designers Thisara and Darwin, traits were hand-designed to include chains, tattoos, headwear, suits, masks, and more — with cultural influence ranging from urban hip-hop to cyberpunk elite.
One of the biggest challenges? The fur simulation. This alone went through multiple redesigns until the final look was locked in during 2023.
Vision Meets Visuals
While the launch has yet to occur, the content and community were being prepared simultaneously:
First Model 2022
Second Model 2022-2023
Final Model 2023
The Noble Fox
A minimalist icon of pure design. This version of the Fennix fox stands without traits — no jewelry, no masks — just form, posture, and expression. It represents the base essence of the collection: elegance, clarity, and purpose before transformation.
The Warrior Elite
Fully equipped and battle-ready, this version pushes the limits of visual customization. Featuring metallic gear, cyberpunk mask, and detailed textures, it blends futuristic fantasy with cultural power. A symbol of strength and artistic precision.
A Word From the Creator
“This project is the most ambitious I’ve ever done — spanning years of development, thousands of variations, and a vision of identity that blends culture, tech, and elegance. It’s more than art — it’s a symbol of what we can build when we push ourselves beyond trends.”
— Hendric Eduardo Charris Mercado
Why It Was Needed
To manage and organize over 10,000 unique NFTs, manual work was simply not viable. The traits, rarities, and combinations were too complex to track by hand. We needed a custom software solution that could automate the generation, structure the JSON metadata, and allow visual validation — all while keeping full control over each piece.
This led to the creation of a tailored desktop app, fully developed in Python, designed exclusively for FFRC.
What It Does
The software allows you to:
-
✅ Visually preview each NFT
-
🧩 Organize traits and subtraits (headgear, clothing, accessories)
-
📊 Assign rarity levels (Legendary, Epic, etc.)
-
🧬 Generate JSON metadata automatically for blockchain use
-
🖼 Format and rename NFTs in batch
-
🔁 Export assets for final render & deploy
This internal tool became the backbone of FFRC’s production workflow — making it possible to scale creativity with precision.
Vision Meets Visuals
While the launch has yet to occur, the content and community were being prepared simultaneously:
-
🎬 Animated promotional movies were created
-
📲 Posts were shared across social media to tease the characters
-
💎 Each NFT represents a visionary identity: confident, dressed to lead, and made to last
Unlike the flood of generative art that dominates the space, FFRC remains a 100% human-made effort — not only in design but also in technical infrastructure and storytelling.
