Chadwick Boseman will make an appearance at the Oscars 2021 but not in his physical form, rather, as a being of modern digital art called a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), which would be auctioned after the event. A render was created by a 3D artist known to create three-dimensional renders of digital art forms.
Gone but not forgotten, Chadwick Boseman lives in the heart of everyone in the world, who were saddened by the actor's sudden passing after years of battling colon cancer at age 43. A lot of tributes were observed in the wake of the actor's death, including the recreation of "Avengers: Endgame" by a youngster, featuring the Black Panther.
The only other digital tribute for the late Chadwick Boseman was "Fortnite's" Season 4 Marvel crossover, which featured Wakanda's Black Panther statue in the game. This place provided a safe haven, away from deaths and violence, to pay tribute to the fallen actor, giving birth to an on-screen adaptation of King T'Challa from Marvel Comics.
Chadwick Boseman NFT
According to an NFT auction website called "Rarible," a 3D render artist known as Andre O'Shea has submitted a piece of digital art to the platform and aims to sell it during at the Oscars 2021. O'Shea explained that the best way to commemorate an artist is by creating a piece of art that is dedicated to him, and immortalizing this actor with it.
The NFT shows the visual rendering of the head of Chadwick Boseman, which was reimagined in a gold statue image placed in an arch that captures his likeness, and then surrounded by a field. The artist has also included a violet transition in this, which pays homage to his Black Panther costume, which absorbs purple kinetic energy.
The field also reimagines the Marvel astral world of fallen Black Panther and Wakandan kings that have been staying in a field, that replicates an infinite world, resembling the afterlife. Here, the NFT animates from being a rendering image of Boseman to a gold face statue and being brought to an arch that captures the field behind it.
Chadwick Boseman at Oscars 2021
The bid would be done after the events of Oscars 2021, which is also known as one of the most prestigious awards events for actors, artists, filmmakers, and other media entities. Here, Chadwick Boseman has frequented his nominations for the Oscars and other events for his roles portraying Black historical figures, and the most recent, as Marvel's Black Panther.
The organizers would let the awards event take place initially, but also let a bidding session take place afterward, for the showcase and sale of the Chadwick Boseman NFT. The NFT starts at $1.2 million, and increments of the bid to grow will further as the auction takes place, and 50 percent of the proceeds will go to the Colon Cancer Foundation.
