After I put Tech Rats š on @opensea last week, I got a lot of questions/DMs asking how I did it.
I taught myself/Googled everything but hereās my guide:

Step by step instructions on what I did as a non-technical beginner
Disclaimer: Iām not an expert. Thereās probably an easier way to do this, but this is what I could find online and do with my limited skill set :)
STEP 1: Decide on what kind of project you want to work on. I was inspired by Pudgy Penguins but you donāt have to stick to animals.
STEP 2: Start creating all the layers for your pieces.
I used Adobe Illustrator for this. You can use other programs as well, but Illustrator worked the best for my concept.
What do I mean by layers? Hereās an example breakdown:
Layer 1: Background
-10 colors
Layer 2: Animal Body
-5 colors
Layer 3: Head accessory
-10 items
Layer 4: Face accessory
-10 items
The random combination of these layers results in thousands of unique images.
In this case youād need to create:
- 10 images of 10 background colors
- 5 images of your animal in 5 different colors (transparent background)
-10 images of head accessories (just accessories nothing else)
-10 images of face accessories (just accessories nothing else)
