Description

Benefits to Decentraland: 1. Building the Statue of Love can make the spot (where it will be located) more unique and notable. It can turn into an interesting meeting spot that attracts more people to Decentraland. 2. It can create a buzz in the media :) like "Decentraland has got its own statue of love! What's next??" or something like that. 3. This statue has a good story behind it. This will be a statue of Mikasa Ackerman (from the Attack on Titan anime TV series). Please read the story down below. 4. Due to the fact that the statue is related to the Attack on Titan anime series, and I believe, has an impactful and emotional story behind it, it can attract the audience of the Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) TV series, which currently is THE most popular anime in the world with millions of people in its fandom. Also, the timing is just right, because for the time being the long-anticipated season 4 of AoT is finally on air. THE SHORT STORY BEHIND THE STATUE (spoiler alert) Mikasa Ackerman is sitting next to Eren's grave while wearing the precious red scarf that Eren once gave her. This is the final scene of Attack on Titan manga, Chapter 139, where Eren after his death came in the incarnation of a bird and wrapped the scarf around Mikasa as he promised. "I will wrap that scarf around you as many times as you want, now and forever". - Eren to Mikasa. HOW I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA This statue was my first personal project that I never finished till the end. I had an idea of making a 3d printable miniature for sale out of it and I even placed some work-in-progress images of it on my IG back in late May of 2021. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPIuFxDD3aF/ But since June 2021 I was very busy with my freelancing projects so I never had a chance to actually finish the statue and offer it for sale. So in this regard, it's a unique piece of work and was never sold to anyone. Thus, here I am with my model of Statue of Love and I'd like it to be my dent in the universe of Decentraland.
