A collection of intergalactic space voyagers lost in the cosmos.

This collection was inspired by the artist’s (Tank) book ‘The archipelago of the five citadels’. Her book was the story accompanying the artistic duo’s Tank & Popek live exhibition in Paris, London & New York.

After searching for the perfect artist for the project, Beast stumbled upon this book and thought it had all the elements to become a great NFT collection. This is Tank’s first stint in NFTs, so together with Beast they spent weeks researching different collections, and their traits, to see how a non-digital artist could make this happen using traditional illustration techniques.

The result is a labour of love and detail. All the different traits work together seamlessly to give the impression that each character was created individually. A unique colour palette that allows for great diversification and at the same time keeps every character connected to the collection.
