You're the man, man!

Looking forward to your PMs.

Yes, let's move on. I'm already making the first preparations for this.
I'm at the stage of planning which path to take. 




I happen to have an idea/challenge for you. 
Let me just organize the idea a little better and then send me a PM.

Dear members of the Bitcoin Forum Metaverse project.

We have crossed the finish line and are now proudly here:



And what a finish line it was!

The thread I created for the finished artwork became the pivotal thread for this year's anniversary.

There was a multitude of positive comments and people seemed very much satisfied with all the detail and work that went into the artwork.

As far as the commercial success, it was also amazing - I so far sold the original canvas + almost 40 our of the hundred prints!


It has been five wonderfully creative, intense and educational months for me and I'm very grateful for them to all of you!

I hope you can share the same sentiment, at least to a degree. 


Here are some thoughts I gathered for this evaluation:

* Projects like this, where an artist cooperates with the community are great for everybody.
They are engaging, they are a learning opportunity and they connect members in new ways.

* This project honestly kept pushing me to the limit of what I was capable.
Artistically it was already complex and took A LOT of my time and energy, but the organizing part was also challenging.
I don't remember ever doing that much writing, responding, documenting and researching in such a short time (ok maybe in school, but that was long ago haha).

* I love how well the subject matter of a online forum, centered around a cryptocurrency translated into a physical object of a painting on canvas.
This forum is involved with the most abstract, hard to grasp concepts and ideas, but we managed to imagine it in a alternate dimension.
It is centered around its members and their activity and that fact helps a lot of course...

* Theymos helped a lot by putting the project on the news (2 times!) which brought it onto everybody's attention.
That was awesome, it showed that he cares a lot for what's going on and I hope we earn the spotlight again in the future.

* There is an incentive to make a online zoomable version of the artwork with explanations guiding the observer.
I hope we really do do it!

* I think it would be great (and necessary, because I kinda promised it) to repeat this experience with the forum universe, for its 20th anniversary if not sooner!

* There's probably a ton more I could share, but the whole thing is still very much alive inside...

This is where I once again leave room for your comments.

A lot has been already debated and mentioned in the presentational thread, but this is an opportunity to add just any thing.


So here's my final (probably... ) question:

Where do we go from here?

Any ideas for our next community art project?

Cheers.

You just finished a beautiful art work which is this Bitcoin art work you just did and that is the art work I'm talking about.

Interesting question, I never thought of that.

Did you have the prints, canvas or both in mind or maybe just any artwork on sale in general?

1Dq do you permit people marketing this your beautiful art work in and outside this forum and do you give commission for any sell made through someone's marketing effort.
A lot of people may be interested in being your market if there's a commission attached to it.
If there is a room for these it will interest me and other of your followers to know and you stating it out with it's rules and regulations.

Your work has blown my mind really you are a wonderful artist your painting is amazing which has taken place inside my mind. In short I am fascinated by your printing and in love with your painting. I hope in the future you will present more excellent printings. Best wishes to you.❤️

Thanks for great artist & great painting.💝

I really love what am seeing congrat dear for such great work , it is really worth it.

The print is on some weird fancy paper I never saw before.

It feels pretty neat up close and the colors are perfect.

Also, glad to hear good news about our Talkimg, joker!

I just got the print sales thread online:

Cheers!

Congratulations on the excellent work. You are an incredible artist!

Is the print on canvas or laminated?




Fortunately the problem will be overcome. It would be wise to use other resources, so as not to delay any longer.

Then he sent the MP.

Dear fellow Bitcoin Forum Metaverse art project members and guests!

This is the big moment, the project has reached PHASE #4, where the artwork and the prints are properly presented and put on sale and auction.

I'm still preparing the three carrying posts, but felt it was proper to show the images here first.

You're probably aware by now that Talkimg (that I used for all images before) has been under attack recently and that also delayed this post a bit.

I used ImgBB for images below.


This is the original canvas with a couple of close ups:











And the print all set for sales and (soon) travel around the world!






I'll setup the three threads (presentation, canvas auction and print limited hand signed sale) today or tomorrow latest.

Cheers.

Well I also think we should go with the Gold it looks more beautiful and matured with the Gold color.
Keep up with the good works and I really can't wait to see the next work you upload.
Art is power.

And the winner is...

GOLD!


I'll make first 10/100 prints today!

Then it's time to take some photos and we're off to the races.

I liked the Gold, it was more elegant and the blue colors don't give the necessary balance, it seems like everything is the same. In my opinion, the Gold looks better.

light blue 1st choice, 2nd gold

i think the light blue flows better.. its like a continuation of the theme color in the bottom middle of the painting. the other two color seem more jarring. but maybe its my monitor.

Blue followed by Light Blue gets my vote!

---

The finished artwork is fantastic, so much detail, so much to see, and you see something else
with every new visit!

The metaverse scene looks unbelievably chaotic - just like certain boards on the forum!

I love that the "collectibles" bazaar or shop front is very prominent - proper order!

For me, I think the ones that look best are golden or light-blue.

To create greater balance in the print, perhaps going for gold might be better so that everything isn't blue at the bottom.

Now, the light-blue is also good.

This is the freshly prepared print layout.

I think the font type, position and size work, but I like all three colors - please help! 

Which color one do you like best?


GOLD




LIGHT BLUE




BLUE






Golden, light-blue or blue?
