Inspired by SpaceX’s Falcon 9, a Tesla stock chart, the original Twitter bird logo, and an acanthus leaf (originally a cannabis leaf), this project began by blending these elements into a steampunk aesthetic. Using AI tools and Photoshop, the concept evolved into the foundation for a striking oil painting on canvas, merging technological motifs with organic design.

For the animation, I retained the painting’s 2D style instead of creating 3D assets, honouring my early NFT animations crafted entirely from 2D works. The Titanium Angel launch is witnessed by the little Page, Sialia, who perches in awe as the divine vessel roars to life, breaking free from the Clockwork Court’s precision to touch the infinite.
