Bulan is a recognition, a reminder that there is power in color. Bulan is a narrative, it’s a tale, that goes way back to our roots, it’s anything you deem fit, anything but a myth.
It is not a myth.
Bulan is an African-themed NFT project, creatively backed with a concrete idea of balancing community engagements through art and value that’s inherent in user-oriented utilities. The concept behind the unique gods of Bulan hopes to leverage the already established platform in the NFT space to change the narrative about and enlighten people on the history and culture surrounding African deities. Bulan will have 111 unique hand-drawn African gods for its primary collection on Aptos and a subsequent mint with a larger supply for its Gen1. Bulan is taking the uniqueness of Non-Fungible Tokens to a daring level. Get into Bulan. Discover your divinity.q
In Bulan, domains exist; different pantheons oversee each of these domains, ensuring the balance and the continued existence of mortals. The gods of Bulan were revered and worshipped; each god carried out their diverse responsibilities and did it perfectly, as they should.
Eons have passed and it would seem mortals have forgotten the beings who sustained them. Outlanders have infiltrated Bulan and have befuddled mortals who reside there. For eons, the gods of Bulan have been quiet, slowly being forgotten; now, no more. All the gods of Bulan have come together to remind the mortals of who they are; their kindness, their conquest, their valor, and their might! This is not a myth.
Difficult as it is, Bulan went the path of being a collection consisting of hand-drawn, African-themed gods, with unique traits as opposed to the common alternative of using generative art with a shared base model, in order to convey significance. All gods in the collection are grouped into four attributes(traits), which are their class, pantheon, sub-continent, and background.
The collection will consist of masculine, feminine and androgynous gods.
The gods of Bulan are drawn using techniques that make the categorization vast, and because of this will not be sorted using their physical attributes. All gods are grouped using their pantheon, class, and subcontinent in the African space.
The Drop down below shows the traits and their types in the collection.
Bulan adopted our custom typeface called ‘Odide’. The typeface was designed from scratch by UcheorJins and is our design font type for almost every design Bulan has published.
