Merry Modz is a feature-length all-ages holiday tale about SnoBo, a terrified snowman who learns to fight his fears and be brave by banding together with some fellow oddball friends to save Santa. It began as a sold-out festive Christmas-themed NFT character collection in November 2021, and is expanding into more media as a family franchise.
You might think you know the story of Santa and his elves...but you don't. The big man in red is known for his love for cookies and his yearly mission of gifting to all of the good boys and girls, but MANY mysteries remain...
How does Santa know who has been naughty or nice? What exactly do the elves do? What is the purpose of a snowman? Why does Santa trouble himself to bring children coal or toys?
Merry Modz is a feature-length story told over multiple platforms and made its debut as an NFT generative art product in November 2021.

The NFT drop featured 10,000 3D full-body characters imbued with holiday cheer, based on the hand-drawn works of the legendary artist Herrera Box. You can grab yours on OpenSea now.

How was the art created? Who created it?
All characters (including the properties and props) were designed by hand by the legendary artist Francisco "HerreraBox" Herrera. That totals well over 500 hand-drawn pieces. After the drawings were complete, the characters were scanned into a computer, where the 2D designs were translated into 3D figures. Movie-grade software was used for rendering, lighting, and rigging the 3D characters. A creative team of over 50 people were involved in bringing the Merry Modz story to life!
