Peter Dennelis: From Dinosaurs to Majestic Bears

All artists possess their own unique stories to share with the world through their work, and Peter Dennelis is no exception. He’s worked alongside some of the big players in the production design industry, such as Andy Nicholson, Kate Hawley, and Adam Stockhausen. He’s created 3D designs for world-famous studios such as Disney, Warner Bros, Universal Pictures, and a number of other established companies. It goes without saying that Peter has sharpened his artistic skillset to become a true expert in his field. If you’ve seen Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), or Suicide Squad (2016), then you’ve no doubt gotten a taste for the extraordinary quality of creativity and design that Peter brings to every project he touches.

After having sat down with 3D designer now-turned NFT artist Peter Dennelis, and doing a deep dive into his artistic background, we were absolutely certain he’d be the perfect choice for an artist to help bring the Majestic Bears NFT project to the public.

Aided by our team of investors, entrepreneurs, Blockchain experts, and marketing professionals, there’s no obstacle that can possibly stop The Majestic Bears. Each Majestic Bear NFT boasts its own unique design and story - and even a few secrets you get access to after buying one.

Leading up to the launch of Majestic Bears, we’ll be putting everyone on our team of designers in the spotlight, and sharing their story with you. All of them possess a high level of expertise in their chosen style. Moreover, they’ve been exclusively hand-picked directly from a select number of household names in the production industry, such as Universal, Warner Bros, and Disney - just to name a few.

We got together with Peter Dennelis to interview him about the Majestic Bears NFT project, and what excited him the most about it. We also talked about what the transition into the world of NFTs has been like for him.

Q: What aspect of the Majestic Bear project appealed to you the most?

Peter Dennelis: I’d have to say it was the idea of seeing my creations come to life in the Metaverse. I mean, it’s one thing to see your designs moving around on a screen, but once the Metaverse becomes more widely adopted, it’s just going to be so cool to actually interact with something that was just a figment of my imagination at one point.

Q: What did you know about NFTs before getting in on Majestic Bears?

Peter Dennelis: Not that much, honestly. I mean, I’d definitely been hearing about NFTs since around summer 2021 from various sources - TV, YouTube, you name it. Thing is, I still didn’t know exactly what an NFT was… Now, every week, we’re hearing about a celebrity buying a Bored Ape and changing their profile picture. 

A few months ago, I flew over to Miami Beach to attend the Art Basel - a contemporary art exhibition that they have every year. That’s where I met Julien, the co-founder of Majestic Bears. He’s been in the NFT space since its inception, and had been traveling around to different countries giving talks about it. There was just something about his personality that resonated with me. Plus, he was looking for an artist for his collection… So, after meeting up and chatting a few times, we decided to link up and work on Majestic Bears together.

Q: What kinds of opportunities can artists get by venturing into the NFT space?

Peter Dennelis: Honestly, there’s still so much to learn about this space, I can’t even begin to tell you what’s possible, and what will be possible in the near future. All I have to say, is that if you’re looking to make a living from your art, get in now. If you missed out on buying Amazon or Apple stock back in 2000, then get in now. NFTs are still relatively new, and are only going to continue to get more sophisticated.
