Topic: BECOME PART OF AN EXCLUSIVE BITCOINTALK ART PROJECT - page 2. (Read 1335 times)

Man, id really like to contribute to this however i seriously lack any real imagination.....
Il give it a shot though 👍

Something i think that would maybe a cool addition..... In the background would be a historical price chart. This could maybe take the form of a line of scenery for example a mountain range.

Something else that iv toyed with the idea of is, a house of cards with the £ ¥ $ symbols on them toppling over. Possibly reflecting how things could turn out in the future...

One other thing. A long line of gravestones bearing the bitcoin logo, all with disturbed earth as if something has risen from the graves, over and over and over.

I understand my ideas are all a bit cliché but as i said, imagination is NOT my strong suit

Happy to contribute and i wont be offended at all if you reject them.

Cheers!

I wanted to draw some generic scribble, but yea I see it too. Don't worry, we'll pick what is added together!


I made them older because I imagine a lot of individuals here have been working hard on producing and collecting for a while now, and have become veterans of some sort. But I could easily make them younger! And maaaybe in 10 years we do this again and we age them a bit then!  


The visualisation progress of money/payment systems should be pushed if possible.

Man, there's so much content that could be integrated, I'm pretty hyped about this branch of the project now.

I'll give you guys some more time for additional ideas and then do another sketch, or just an advanced version of this one. I might make it on a smaller canvas just to make it more presentable and start the collectible part of the project.

Looks great, love the idea!

First thing that caught me was time, it has an 18th century feel to it
even though there are robotics/cyborg parts, maybe that could be
something to develop,

How advanced money/payment systems have become and how
discussion and interaction has changed, representing BCT forum.

I'm really happy to see some more movement on the thread

That looks really cool 1Dq, you're definitely talented to bring that picture out of the responses here.

I wouldn't get too caught up in signifying "old men".. the old boys club aka the fed/govt is what bitcoin stands against.

Wow - very nice 
It’s amazing how different minds perceive and develop  the same idea. Not what I was thinking at all , but very, very nice.
Only negative - top area of illustration in the middle - looks like an Ethereum logo ? What do you think ?

I've been thinking about figurative ways of presenting collectibles of Bitcoin/Bitcoin talk.

I used a couple of suggested ideas, played around with them and connected them in a world of my own. Here's what I came up with.





It's set in cyberspace, that represents the internet as the world where crypto and Bitcointalk comes from and lives. In the center however (and in control) are two senior characters, a bit steam/cyberpunk-ish, with cyborg gadgets being part of them. They are very much into their passion. The left one is extracting data of a soon-to-become-physical coin from the grid. He transforms this data with his contraptions. The other one is inspecting the product and admiring it.

A lot of detail could be intergrated into this version of the artwork - the table already has the BTC sign, but could have more and both characters could have meaningful attires. There could be many different symbols manifest throughout the composition, especially in the grid.

If I forgot something, it'll come up eventually and I'll add it later.  

Let me know what you think and don't hold back with additional ideas!

Sounds good.

By what you are saying there may be an incentive for people to get
involved. And as a part time artist it is a good excersize to follow
which could open up our own ideas and seperate projects going forward.

Any ideas i put into this thread are solely for this project!

Thank you for some neat ideas.

As far as creating the physical artwork, I imagine that'll be my job. Getting there will open many opportunities to contribute though. There might also be a cooperation option afterwards to print/distribute/auction the results. We'll see!

I like the idea of raffling a lot as it levels the playing field. However, I would like to reward those that will add more to the project if that's possible.

Let's give it a couple more days here, then I'll gather ideas again and make another set of sketches.

So keep those ideas coming, everybody!

Thanks!
would be nice to see your interpretation also.

For products to include I can make a few suggestions like the big names in crypto

Satoshi
Trezor
Coinmarketcap
Blockchain

It will be difficult to have collaboration in creating the physical art piece but this thread
will hopefully fuel a collaborative group for ideas where people can submit ideas.

As regards funding and rewards, that is going to be tricky, needs some more thought

For the finished artwork it could be raffled, create a series of tickets for a nominal fee
so that everyone has a chance to win and the proceeds go to the Forum to help with the
upkeep and day to day running.

Woa, nice!

I love how grandeous it feels and I definitely want to think about working on this myself. I'll probably come up with a sketch with my take on it soon enough!

How do we figure out which products we will include and how? Is there a way to get anyone in on this so they can participate? I would like to imagine a fair system that will reward participation in much the same way Bitcoin did from the start - the more you support it the more it gave to you.
So here there will be a lot of work ahead, could we make some sort of a game plan, so that there are various ways of supporting the project (with time, ideas and bitcoin) and as reward, individual products/collectibles/things/ideas will be pushed and visualized? And maybe individual pieces might be given for free, or at least prints.

I want this to both be fun and prosperous for all included!

I have been thinking about this and have put together a digital 3D of what
I had envisaged.

Me to gonna read it a bit better this evening, but amazing art works ..... I do love that roller coaster piece

Would also like to see your version of the "this is fine" cartoon

keep creating those ART-pieces

I really like the sketch, i like the (kind of) 3d nature of it,
I cant visualise the PS one though.

Combining the two ideas you mentioned previously could be done i recon

The symbols could be incorporated into the floor of my scene or have them
but into the mining racks ?

Would it be ok if i try a pen and paper sketch and pist it? It will take me a few
days, but you obviously are free to try also

I'm a big fan of art and i'm a new follower of this topic.

I was playing around with the more abstract approach and produces some rough sketches. I deliberately made one on paper and one in Photoshop, because I like to diversify techniques as it both helps me think creatively and it might encourage broader ideas.

I explored how to visualize BTC in such a way, that it is both obsolute and discreet. This is why the entire piece looks like an urban landscape, assembled from pieces of different sizes.
Those pieces would work as separate artworks, but would always also be part of the one big piece. I was also thinking about a 3d effect, that would make it feel more organic and might add to the narrative of various Collectibles racing to be Bitcoin's favorite 
 
Both bigger and smaller pieces would hold unique information about selected products/trademarks/jokes/ideas we would want to incorporate. This sketch mostly just shows one way of how the composition might work.




These two are sort of an upgrade of the first sketch, showing how color might be used and you can also distinguish known shapes. I also scattered individual pieces here to show how they might feel on their own. Which doesn't work very well right now, as they (so far) severely lack visual information; texture, details, hues would all be on a completely next level on canvases!

We could also use some other visual elements, to add to the complexity. But these are a start.




Please don't hold back on the comments!

Sounds like a great idea
Will be watching.

Interesting this is definitely going on the blackboard.


I was thinking about three things, that I want to discuss with you.

* We could set a timeline to conclude this project by November, which will be just right for the 10th Anniversary of this board! This will give us, especially me and/or anyone else working on production and distribution, sufficient time to finish it properly.

* Secondly, since this might go into becoming a set of artworks, we could pick from among the founders/big supporters of Bitcoin and Bitcointalk and reward them with an art piece. All this is possible because of the great effort of people that were active, expecially in the beginning, right? It might be that there are too many or they might not be in reach, but let's discuss the possibilities!

* And lastly, we could make it two very different pieces. I will have just enough time to work on both. One could be a very realistic painting, illustrating what has already been discussed above - maybe visualizing a Bitcoin collector and his various trophies. And the other a more abstract and structurally complex piece, that could be multiple piece initially assembled into a big one and then divided/sold/raffled to interested individuals.

BTW (edit): Would it be possible to combine these two ideas:


and


Let me know what you think, and expect early studies very soon!

Great idea by the OP, and great response and input by many.

My understanding is that the artwork is to be about bitcoin and this forum,
So to me that shod represent bitcoin the technology and people,
How we interact with it,
What the main goals of people are towards bitcoin.

I am picturing a circular table surrounded by racks of mining equipment
and around this table are seated people holding hands as in a seance.
In the centre of the table and risen up is a golden BTC symbol

Just an idea...

>* We want it publicly displayed somehow.

Some other thoughts:

 - your work with gold has been superb previously so you might want to factor that in somehow.

 - really like the idea of making it where multiple smaller pieces build to one large macro image.  That would be a good way to incorporate all the themes you're looking for, from btc being "gold" to the comraderie on this board to the technological side to the way btc is a revolution against central fiat/inflation.

 - Props for taking this on, I'm sure it will eat up a ton of time.  Hopefully it's a love and not just work!
