https://i.redd.it/w17agt010jje1.gif $HEGE isn’t just a memecoin, it’s a content machine. From hand-drawn sketches to full-blown animations, the evolution of Hege’s artwork has been nothing short of remarkable. Over the past 10 months, Hege has gone from a simple doodle to a highly refined character, appearing across NFTs, GIFs, TikToks, and more. Whats even more remarkable is that every piece of artwork has been hand-created and commissioned, directly supporting artists’ livelihoods. While many projects rely on AI-generated art, Hege has stayed true to an organic, handcrafted approach. This post is a tribute to every artist that ever has worked on Hege content, and the incredible quality of the artwork and animations that have defined Hege’s journey. The Beginnings of Hege: Late 2023Before $HEGE was a memecoin, it was just a doodle. One day, Hege Dev sat down and started sketching a cartoon hedgehog. His girlfriend, Han, remembers the moment well. She snapped a pic of him drawing and asked what it was. “A hedgehog,” he said. She just smiled and nodded, not realizing that this simple drawing would one day capture the imaginations of memecoin investors worldwide. Hege Gen 1: The Website LaunchBy March 2024, Hege had evolved into a full-fledged character, marking the launch of the official website. Looking back now, it’s like seeing an early Simpsons comic, where the lines are wavy, the colors slightly off, and the style is still finding its footing. But that raw charm set the foundation for what was to come. Hege is RefinedBy Chapter 4 release, Hege’s art had taken a leap forward in quality. The outlines became thicker and the design more polished. This is a step closer to the Hege we know and love today. Hegends LaunchFor many, the Hegends collection represents the definitive version of Hege. The NFT collection was commissioned to a professional design agency and brought Hege to life in an entirely new way. With 2,222 NFTs minted eternally to the blockchain, they had to get it right, and I think it’s fair to say they hit a home run. The Hege Meme LibraryOver the past 10.5 months, Hege’s content creation has been prolific. Type /memes in the Hege Telegram, and you’ll find a Google Drive folder packed with artwork, GIFs, animations, and even real-life Hege events (such as the billboards and plane banner). In fact the collection spans 278 images, videos and gifs totalling 1.5gb of content that can be used by the community in raids, reddit posts and social media. https://i.redd.it/b06unbgzhfje1.gif TikTok, Instagram and YouTube ShortsThe Hege content machine doesn’t stop at static images. Head over to the Hege TikTok, Instagram or YouTube profiles, and you’ll find longer-form shorts that are popping up on crypto investors reels worldwide. Many of these have over 500k views with one short approaching 1 million. https://reddit.com/link/1iqwwlc/video/cufx12xz4jje1/player 15M+ Views on GIPHYHege has also uploaded 122 GIFs to GIPHY, racking up an insane 15 million views and counting! It wasn’t an easy job formatting, resizing and tagging the gifs. Thanks for all your work on this u/UncleFred-, it hasn’t gone unnoticed.
