0N1 Force: A Creative Powerhouse in Web3 Storytelling
Creative Excellence: Collaborating with Industry Titans
At the heart of 0N1 Force's success lies its commitment to creative excellence through strategic partnerships with some of the most accomplished artists and storytellers in the entertainment industry1. The project has established itself as a creative powerhouse by recruiting top-tier talent from major global franchises, bringing unparalleled quality and expertise to Web3 storytelling2.
Industry-Leading Creative Direction
0N1 Force has strategically positioned itself as a home for elite creative talent, most notably with the appointment of Hicham Habchi as Creative Director and Advisor1. Habchi brings an extraordinary pedigree to the project with his extensive background in concept art and comic artistry, having worked on renowned IPs such as:
Valorant and League of Legends: As Principal Character Concept Artist and Creative Lead at Riot Games for five years, Habchi helped shape the visual identity of these globally successful franchises3.
DC Comics and Marvel Entertainment: Habchi's ongoing work as a Cover/Comic Artist for both publishing giants demonstrates his versatility and respected position in the comic book industry3.
This strategic appointment represents just one example of 0N1 Force's commitment to bringing AAA creative talent into the Web3 space2. Habchi's role is described as "an important first step in establishing ourselves as a Triple-A storytelling brand," highlighting the project's ambitious vision for high-quality narrative experiences1.
Comic Book Industry Veterans
0N1 Force has further strengthened its creative credentials through an exclusive partnership with Devil's Due Studios to develop multiple comic book series featuring the 0N1 Force characters4. This collaboration brings together an impressive roster of comic industry veterans:
Von Randal: The artist behind Spawn: Gunslinger is bringing his distinctive visual style to the 0N1 Force universe5.
Josh Blaylock: The creator of Mercy Sparx and G.I. Joe is serving as Senior Editor for the comic line while also writing a companion series5.
This partnership demonstrates 0N1 Force's commitment to authentic storytelling by engaging creators with proven track records in developing compelling narratives for established franchises45.
Film and Entertainment Industry Connections
The project has further expanded its creative network by bringing on David Uslan, whose family owns the film rights to Batman2. As the son of Michael Uslan, the Originator and Executive Producer of the Batman movie franchise, David brings invaluable experience in IP development and entertainment industry connections78. His background includes:
Working alongside his father on developing films including Batman Begins and Constantine7.
Producing the Emmy award-winning animated series Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch9.
This strategic relationship positions 0N1 Force to potentially expand its storytelling universe beyond digital assets and comics into film and television, following the successful model of other comic-based franchises27.
A Home for Artistic Excellence
0N1 Force has deliberately positioned itself as a destination for top creative talent, leveraging its reputation for artistic quality to attract the best in the industry11. The project's artist residency program is designed to "bring together the most talented individuals in the industry to work on 0N1 FORCE and partner projects"11.
The foundation of this artistic excellence begins with the project's original creator, artist Brian Lie (IMCMPLX), whose distinctive hand-drawn style combining anime and Transformer-inspired robotic features helps the collection stand out1213. His meticulous attention to detail and unique aesthetic has been described as "the Tarantino of PFP artists" for his ability to combine different aesthetic elements into a cohesive and distinctive style2.
CEO Henry Finn (Starlordy) emphasizes this commitment to artistic excellence: "We want to continue that and turn ourselves into a home for artists because of that"2. This philosophy has resulted in 0N1 Force naturally attracting top-level talent across various creative disciplines in the Web3 space211.
Bringing AAA Storytelling to Web3
0N1 Force's mission is clearly defined: "to be the greatest cross-platform storytelling experience birthed out of Web3"2. This ambitious vision encompasses comics, anime, manga, gaming, and live events, with the team establishing key partnerships in each area to position the project as an "S Tier" brand2.
The project's approach to storytelling is deeply integrated into its identity, with an extensive backstory giving each NFT a unique place within an imagined world12. This narrative foundation provides a rich canvas for creative expansion across multiple media formats, distinguishing 0N1 Force from many other NFT projects that lack narrative depth122.
By bringing together creators from major franchises like League of Legends, Valorant, Overwatch, Marvel, and DC Comics, 0N1 Force is elevating the standard for storytelling in the Web3 space123. This convergence of talent from traditional entertainment industries with blockchain technology represents a significant evolution in how digital ownership can be combined with compelling narrative experiences122.
Conclusion: Setting New Standards for Web3 Creativity
0N1 Force has established itself as a creative powerhouse by assembling an impressive roster of talent from some of the world's most successful entertainment franchises12. Through strategic partnerships and a commitment to artistic excellence, the project is bridging the gap between traditional media and Web3, bringing AAA storytelling expertise to the blockchain space122.
As the project continues to expand its creative initiatives through comics, potential animation, and other media formats, 0N1 Force is positioned to set new standards for narrative quality and artistic excellence in the Web3 ecosystem245. By leveraging the expertise of creators who have shaped beloved global franchises, 0N1 Force is demonstrating that Web3 projects can deliver storytelling experiences that rival those of established entertainment brands1122.
