**WTF are CREYNIUMS?**

Created by [Reylarsdam](https://twitter.com/reylarsdam), Creyniums is a generative Cryptoart collection featuring 6900 animated tokens designed from 1800 hand-drawn frames.

Crafted in the span of an entire year in the depths, pits and flames of the 2022-2023 bear market and risen from the ashes of the 2021 collective [Crypto Calavera project](https://opensea.io/collection/cryptocalaverasnft), Creyniums serve as a tzompantli of humanoid faces that reflect the tumult, joy, chaos and excitement of our present crypto-times.

Deriving inspiration from ancient mythologies, Mexican Day of the Dead, the NFT Community and collage & animation techniques, Creyniums aspire to push generative art into artistically uncharted territory.

8 CREYNIUMS

**Why CREYNIUMS**

The idea for Creyniums arose in mid 2022 after the Crypto Calavera roadmap was not completely fulfilled. To make things right by CC holders and build ahead on a fresh trajectory, Reylarsdam took the initiative to create a brand new project.

**CREYNIUM Stats**

Creyniums are designed out of 600 animated assets divided into 13 main traits, comprising a total of 1800 hand-drawn frames.

The traits are divided into 3 sections:

*   **Background** (Environment - Mandible - Maxilla - Zygomatic - Frontal)
    
*   **Creynium** (Dental - Visor - Nasal - Orbit 1 & 2)
    
*   **Extras** (Garment - Mask 1 & 2)
    

This collection doesn't emphasize a rarity scoring system, instead Creyniums put equal importance on every asset, making art the leading element within this project.

There are also 42 special 1/1s divided into 2 sections:

*   **Cryptoart Day**
    
*   **Cryptoart Night**
