The omnipresent pen

This montage was created with my friends as a farewell gift for my former colleague, Jacky, who immigrated to a new city. We put this piece on OpenSea and gave it to him as an NFT. He has always been known for losing his Wacom Pen. The concept of this NFT is to put the Wacom pen on the blockchain so that he would never have to find it again.

Scuba diving is a common interest of both Jacky and me. We also love Japanese culture, so I illustrated the pen in an underwater Jinja with a diver diving towards it.

It was illustrated in Procreate and Photoshop. The diver was animated in Procreate, and the scene was animated in After Effects.

Here is the montage that combined all my friend’s pieces together.
