Topic: >>JOIN<< The BITCOIN FORUM METAVERSE Art Project with BTC Artist 1Dq - page 5. (Read 5863 times)

Thank you all for these and other positive comments!
Keep following the development of this project as soon the first photos of painting on the canvas will arrive!



I've considered setting up a webpage for a while now, but for the moment dismissed it.

Reason is, I'm currently focusing all my Bitcoin art on this forum and it fits the concept to have a thread as my gallery.

I'll let you know in case I need your service in the future, thanks for the offer!

I have used X (and before Twitter) for some of my promotion, but I think it never got very far.

The most interesting aspect of your design is that it is clear and anyone can easily read the storyline just by looking at the painting. You have done excellently well. I figured out that you have your social media accounts active but am not certain about you having your own personal/portfolio website. Dont you think you need one? Apart from your art work on the forum at least you can reach out to more persons who are outside the forum and more interested in your work

If you are interested we could make a good team, ill assist with the website development.

This is the point where I have to say well-done for  the good work you've done.. It's amazing to know that we're part of this journey and seeing the little contributions we've made that has birthed this virtual makes a lot of sense to me. Weldone for using your talent to help the forum.

We're surely on track and maybe as we get into the next phase thier will be areas we will have to make our contributions to and we won't fail to do that but for now everything looks perfect.

The lighting definitely made the whole painting more interesting. Congratulations on the excellent work so far! I can't wait to see the digital version on screen! I'm waiting for the first images!

Once again, excellent work.

This is the final update of the conceptual phase of The Bitcoin Metaverse project.


VISUAL UPDATE #8


I went a bit further with the style enhancing the colors and lighting.






LIGHTING AND COLOR ENHANCEMENT

By adding light and dark to certain areas I gained more depth and made the scene more dramatical.

Enhancing color made it more obvious how different areas work symbolically.

It also helps me define values for the canvas.

They are right now too exaggerated and I'll tone them down in the final version.

But I left it shining for this stage because it also looks fun. 


Again, I'd like to state that this is still concept art and the final version on canvas will take a different, more painterly and finished look.

Take Bitcollector as example for the difference between the digital concept art and the canvas version:




.....


This was the final step of PHASE 2.


At this point I want to give my gratitude to everybody that contributed in this and other threads, connected to this project!

You are great and helped with a lot of detailed information and links to other interesting content on BTCtalk.

You also answered my questions here and via DMs and hyped this project around - Thank you all very much!

I'd also like to thank Theymos for getting this project on the news and got us the next level of exposure! 



This is where we enter PHASE 3 of the project.

It's where I start painting the actual artwork, updating you regularly.

We continue promoting the project to all interested, especially on Btctalk.

Suggestions for improvements are still welcome, though it's the less and less possible to change things over progress of painting .


I start my work with acrylic colors on canvas in the upcoming week.

I will photo document each step of the way continuing regular updates in this thread.

This process will hopefully take two months (I'll do my best to give it all of my spare time).

This means we are 100% on track and I am super hyped for this phase, as this is what I love doing most - PAINTING! 



I will ask you to continue following my progress and contributing with comments.

Every productive idea is welcome and I'll try to reply to all of them.


I'd also like to remind everyone that at the end, the artwork will get its own unique code.

In it the first three symbols of members that have been most active and useful will be included and become part of Bitcoin art history !



Now I need to go pick the right canvas and select the best brushes for the job. 

Cheers!

Combined. When you release the final version of the digital painting, I will take some time to observe and analyze the work.

Can you please remind me which update that is?

I'll probably go with the cycling bike fox, thanks!



Please decide yourself if you wish to do it now for the digital version and again for the canvas version.

I'd be happy to hear it right now though as it might help me with painting on the canvas!



Thank you sir, art is indeed powerful.


Thank you and a big Happy birthday to you and sorry for the late reply!


.....


I will be back later today with the FINAL VISUAL UPDATE for the conceptual part of our project!

Honestly speaking @1Dq you are a beast when it comes to art work once more to this lovely art project cheers to it, I must say again this art really made me become a art lover till today

I no the art is still under construction can't wait to see the real work.....

Cheers to me because it my birthday today sir.......

You have done an excellent job, I didn't believe it will look this beautiful and here you are saying you still want to polish it more and I know it will wow everyone, like I said before you have a good sense of creativity and you good at what you do.
This art right here is wonderful, can't wait to see the final version of this art work, you have already kept me on suspense  .
This art work right here only looking at it, it tells you want it represent.
Art is powerful.

For me, it's very good! I'm looking forward to the real painting. 

I've already noticed some very interesting details, but I'll leave it for my "official analysis". 

Just tell me when everything is ready, so I can start. But, maybe the best thing is to wait for the painting, or do you want me to do the digital version?

Wow am excited about the amazing result. I just want to ask how my update left to the final update?

At the same time, I noticed you added the fox in two places.

1. The fox on a cycling bike
2. The fox logo on its own

Since they both signify the fox why not it be in one place and replace it with another logo in the forum, so that we can show more. It's just part of making good use of your real estate.

This is of course the awaited BTC update.


VISUAL UPDATE #7


I included the orange color that strongly symbolizes Bitcoin.
 




>> Again - this is still concept art and the final version on canvas will take a different, more painterly and finished look. <<



REWORKED BITCOIN SIGN

I polished some details and added the orange color.
The big BTC now feels more integrated in space between the symbolic and part of the painted mechanical tower.

I'll try to also use the orange color symbolically on some other parts of the painting where it might be needed.


.....


I'm mostly still working on the overall style of the upcoming painting.

Expect at least one more visual update with a suggestion or two for the finished art style.

And then we are slowly finishing PHASE 2 of our project!


After that, I'm setting up my studio again and going to do some real painting work! 

I will keep updating you as I paint of course.


I have no questions or requests today.

Which means you can just comment anything you want!

Cheers!

It turns out that this little prank turned out really well too. It's amazing how the elements of the image fit in well with the rest of the image. If you work a little more on the B image, it will be something incredible.

I know you will deliver, I trust your sense of creativity so much, you have been the one doing this on your own I love art so much and if there's any way I can assist you please don't hesitate to let me know.
Now that there are a lot of contention on how to make it look more beautiful, I think you should use your experience as an artist to give us something that will accommodate everyone, and pass the message we all so much desire.

Hey everybody!

I didn't mean to cause an alarm with above fun post.

It was merely a fun accident that happened and will not be part of the artwork, no worries! 

Will be back with the proper update in a day or two.

Cheers!

nah! This color combination isn't matured at all compared to the the last update you made. It's a bit too shouty and isn't creating that sort of maturity the previous one you've design gave.

Maybe if you can give a touch to the Bitcoin sign and the background so it wouldn't be entirely plane like this it will be okay. I still prefere the last design than this.

Happy Sunday to you sir
Frist of all the new edition you just made is really a great one but remember the 15th anniversary most be added in art project sir i hope you didn't forget that to, because it is also important and also for the BTC sizes it is to large also you need to work on that to sir.
The color is very bright color and to my own eyes it looks very much better having it the art project.

The artwork is really coming together, a d very close to finality I suspect. I think
there are endless suggestions and tweaks that can be made but in the end it
has to be finalised.

With this edition I also like the addition of the added contrast in the upper sky area,
that Green hue really adds to the colour scheme. I like that.


Yes that could work as another "edition" or a limited version, I think I prefer the
original but the bright shining BTC in the background is very nice too.

Well, just make the BTC a little more similar to the rest of the composition and you have another excellent work here! 

Good Sunday everyone.

I was fooling around a bit (part of the work process) and accidentally created a fun image.

Just thought I'd drop it below and wish you all a nice BTC Sunday!
