It's Reward the Builders szn and while the Nouns being awarded are fresh and clean, there isn't one that fits long-time Nounish builder CoralOrca. So far, we've honored prolific ecosystem devs with uniquely matching Nouns, but haven't yet gifted a Noun for important media and art contributions. I propose that CoralOrca be honored with Noun 175 in recognition of his significant achievements to media proliferation.
Why?
Nouns has an orca head because of CoralOrca. But being the inspiration for a trait isn't enough. CoralOrca has been building with Nouns since the beginning. The Nounders were amazed when he posted a 3D Noun in June 2021 ("Someone made box head noun into 3d, this is amazing ) and he was dubbed "the first Nouns DAO builder" by 4156. After launch, CoralOrca teamed up with 0xFloyd to create the first media proposal (Prop 2) which brought all 200+ Noun heads and traits to life in 3D as well as make them CC0, a non-obvious move in 2021. The open-source 3D avatars were used widely throughout the ecosystem and beyond.
As we know, that's just the start; 2.5 years later CoralOrca is still actively creating and proliferating. I can't keep track of every project, proposal, ideation, rendering, and experiment CoralOrca has worked on, so I asked him to highlight these achievements in his own words 👇
Hey there! It's Coralorca, dedicated to contributing to Nouns everyday, forever via my passion for 3D, design and code.
In June 2021 I became obsessed with those mischievious pixelated characters. By October 2021, I quit my normie job and fully immersed myself in Nouns. Since then, I've successfully proposed and passed four on-chain proposals. Noun 51 kindly delegated their noun last may, allowing me to become an active voter in the DAO.
Nouns is an extraordinary and unique project and I am committed to playing this game for as long as possible, and to the best of my ability. Got plenty of ideas that I want to build with Nouns in the future!
Owning my own Orca Noun would truly be a dream come true. (Nouns trivia: Eboy added it to the collection because I kept pestering the official account)
Thank you for your consideration in giving me noun 175 and a big thanks to 9999 for sponsoring this prop!
The DAO’s inaugural CC0 project, an online 3D nouns generator, built with 0xFloyd
Worked with the ubiquitous John Hamon on a nounish collab
50 AR animated filters x 3 social media platforms (IG/Tik Tok/Snapchat)
Community-sourced nounish traits at https://gallery.noundry.wtf/, built with Volky
Recently built this fresh proposal tracker prototype for fun.
Have a look at https://www.proptracker.wtf/
Using the AR Noggles I developed I made some Gifs that have become very popular within the community and beyond.
Built a game prototype with custom nounish environment game assets
Also collaborated with the Sandbox to develop Nouns avatars and metaverse land.
Designed a floating modular coworking space in the shape of Noggles. Currenty working towards making this a reality.
