Digital characters can be visually familiar on a screen and still require a new set of decisions when they become physical objects. WhiteClouds handled that translation for three distinct projects: a Crypto Unicorns character for an XAI Games booth, Axelar's robot mascot, and a large CyberKongz figure. Each character retained its original visual identity for real-world event display.
Three characters with three different display roles
The Crypto Unicorns project centered on Ambiguous Automaton, a character fabricated for the XAI Games booth at the 2024 Game Developers Conference. The physical figure carried the character's bold colors and game-art silhouette into a full booth environment.
Axelar's project used a robot mascot with a different scale and presentation. The completed model was approximately 2 feet tall and 15 inches wide, and the display was designed to levitate and rotate above its base.
From booth-scale mascot to large character statue
The third project brought a CyberKongz character into a much larger physical format for NFT and trade show events. Together, the three examples span a booth character, a levitating mascot model, and a large freestanding statue.
The common thread is the move from digital art into an object that can occupy space beside people, displays, and brand graphics. WhiteClouds' work centered on the physical characters and their event presentation; the related cryptocurrency and NFT context remained separate from the fabrication deliverables.
