Interesting idea, though not very visual.
Still, as we can't include everything and everyone, some shortcuts must be made and IDs seem cool and feel cryptic.



It might be hard to get everyone's opinion on how they'd want to be represented, especially those not that active any more.
We're talking mostly OG personas here as others will be generic characters doing stereotypical things.
We could ask those active (like Theymos) for opinion!



I absolutely noted above suggestion and hardworking OG's will be celebrated in this artwork.
In fact, I'm just working on a visual update that will already have some of this incorporated and I can't wait to share (in a couple of days)! 

Bots will have some sort of system integrated into them showing their status.
The final version can be discussed of course.

Your designs are indeed splendid i must commend you for the good works. The robots used to represent the legendary characters are great but i prefer the first art there. Where the robot shows a legendary character with a strong, smart, and knowledgeable character. It's easy to differentiate a newbie and a legendary with the first robot based on hierarchy the robot looks more upgraded like the newest version of its technology.

However, there was a suggestion by Iamgoat to celebrate hardworking OGs who have kept the forum going on both by merit circulating and removing spammers and shitposter. I dont know if the idea was seconded by anyone or you adopted it. Meanwhile, i was think if using a badge, crested on each of the robots because, most of all the names he pointed out are legendries, and you need to differentiate them from the other legendries and show what makes them special and award they have won in the bitcoin forum.

edit - because of repeated sentence.

I believe that if you are going to add people's names here on the forum, it would be interesting to ask them directly about how they would like to be represented. Or, create a sample drawing and ask them to improve something that represents each one. For example, a robot chosen by each user and in the image they would appear with their username above their head and below their username a medal for more merit, a handshake icon for trust, an eye for more recognition, something along those lines. But, the ideal, in my view, would be to have a robot or humanoid according to their choice.

Edit:

I made this example of more or less what the idea I told you would be like.

user id number?

Interesting play on perspectives here, it's a fun task to imagine how different levels of members perceive each other and how to visualize that.



Great, I'll keep this project in mind (and my planner) and will contact you, when the time is right!  
Glitch face Satoshi sounds very cool, but I'm afraid we probably won't see him from the front.
If we do however, I might paint him a bit cryptic!




I will try to do justice both to Satoshi and Pizza day, thank you both for your input!



Great, thanks for your ideas, wizartoshi seems surprisingly popular!  
I love the green/red eyes for the trust system!
And also thank you for the four links - will check all of them out.



Certain names keep cropping up and we need to do them justice.
I'm open to any ideas, besides writing the actual nickname, on how to incorporate them so its obvious who is represented!



Can you please expand more on what you mean by "the block robot", as it sounds very interesting.


......


Otherwise, I'm super busy with a new visual update, that will hopefully already have many of your ideas integrated.

But to keep it fun, here's a couple of legendary character ideas for you...





...and a gif made from a couple of scene sketches.

no

one can only fear the unknown. but btc is exactly the opposite, its mechanism is public and open to inspection. you know exactly how it functions.

perhaps visualize the btc block robot with open inspection hatches or clear panels or something to show its inner workings as open source.

Your opinions are good based on the fact that you would prefer Satoshi to be someone with a friendly facial personality but dont forget that we're trying to be futuristic here. The idea of using robotics is meant to show the future of technology. Satoshi made a technology that no one could mimic or do the same thing. Is it not worth frightening? However, I agree with the part about blurring his face as it relates to Satoshi's choice to remain anonymous.

When doing an artwork, it is important to show the key idea and personality. So that one looking at the artwork would understand and feel the artwork after some gaze. The bitcoin pizza day is a celebration day that shows the historical aspect of Bitcoin not futuristic aspect of Bitcoin. Robots dont eat pizza, so why choose pizza?

I share same thoughts. Since we are celebrating Bitcointalk, I think this is an avenue to celebrate hardworking OGs who have kept forum alive today by mentioning listing their names. Big Thanks to them. I would suggest we also tap from the Bitcointalk Public Information Project and look at some of the most recognized members of this forum from the beginning. In selecting and celebrating the efforts of those hardworking members (present or absent), it will help us recollect the great memory and efforts marked by those and give us the morale and motivation to work hard and contribute immensely to the development of the forum.

For instance, you can crawl the BPIP and select top 2 names from each section of the lists/rankings in the homepage. We have four categories of lists/rankings, Most Merit, Most Activity, Most Trust and Most Recognized.
• Top 2 in Most Merit:
1. o_e_l_e_o ✅
2. LoyceV ✅

• Top 2 in Most Activity:
1. theymos ✅
2. OgNasty ✅

• Top 2 in Most Trusted:
1. minerjones ✅
2. Hhampuz ✅

• Top 2.in Most Recognized:
1. theymos ✅
2. Philipma1957 ✅

A big shout out to these big names again and much appreciations to their immense contribution to this forum!

There are many visualizations from Newbies, but only 1 suits me, the image below is my choice:



Look how cute it is, small body, round head & hands on the head which conveys complete confusion. Then for the second image sample, i don't like the depiction of the whale, no problem for the moderator, but the big robot with the whale logo is not very good in my opinion. Maybe it would be better if you could make a robot that looks like a whale & has a bitcoin logo.

We have whales in forum, we also have moderators, but do whales represent wisdom or intelligence? not at all, we should have other robot representations for the wise & the smart, look at how:

Bitmover makes Bitcoindata.science ^[1]
TryNinja makes Ninjastic ^[2] & Bitcointalk Notification Bot ^[3]
LoyceV makes Loyce.club ^[4]

Those above should have their own representation, right? it could be a robot with depictions of owls or other wise or smart entities, who tries to build Bitcointalk better over time.



For the representation of Satoshi i like the model above, it is very synonymous with a wizard, Satoshi is a wizard (we have to admit that) who does his magic in the finance field & how money should work these days.

1 Additional Thing
A few days ago you asked things about Bitcointalk such as how to visualize spammers & merit, are we forgetting "The Trust" here? it is part of the forum. If you also want to apply the idea to a trust system, i have an idea, you can make a depiction of it in the robot's eyes. A red-eyed robot is a robot that has more negative trust than neutral & positive, a yellow/black-eyed robot has more neutral trust, and a green-eyed robot has more positive trust.

A representation as this will tend to paint Satoshi as a frightening figure. Since Satoshi is the brain behind Bitcoin whose face and personality we can't really tell, it's best to put an image that represents him at the background of the art while Bitcoin sits at the centre of his heart. You can blure it such that you can't see him visibly but paint it such that  a portion of him touches on every part of the art.


What could be added to the design may be that somewhere close to the spot where newbies will be represented is  Bitcoin pizza 🍕. Since from your art on newbies, you've already design something that shows how uninformed and scattered some of them are, placing a pizza around them could also tell the story behind the whole Bitcoin pizza day celebration.

I am very interested in a project like this, and I will be here to help if I can! But if you want to continue with this image format, that would be great too. About Satoshi, I think a being with a blurred face would be cool, as if it were a glitch on his face.

Exactly. I think the lower level members look at the Legendaries, not as someone superior, but as "heroes".
At least that's how "I saw it", before I was one of them. 

I think one big BTC in the painting will suffice for the obvious symbolic reasons.
Putting more could be fun, but rather in a more comical context, like in the suggestion at the bottom of this post.



In the case of the legendary character I visualized it how it might be perceived from the eyes of some lower status members, not as how they would be in reality.
The idea is debatable of course, as is most other things at this point so thank you for your comment!



As it's planned so far, Satoshi's face won't really be seen, except its side.
I'm not sure what kind of face or expression Satoshi would have, his thoughts feel deep and a bit mysterious so I'd rather keep it (mostly) hidden.



These ideas are very cool and also in line with what's already setup, great!



This is an important point to address.
There is only so much space in this artwork and the concept can't extend too far from where we are.
We can still add many elements and modify them, but the overall composition has been verified by now and I believe should remain (close to) what it is.
And in this case it is a old fashioned painting about one the edgiest places on the planet .

However, I'd be more than happy to talk about starting a new project after this one with a very different approach.
A "Where's Wally?" type or something similarly crazy, detail packed, humorous sounds like a lot of fun.
In it we could put a lot of fun details and, if it was digital, it could be upgradable/modified into different versions.

Let me know if there's interest for such a project and maybe we attack it after November's anniversary!

Hello, in my opinion the work so far is very good. However, there will be many things to be added, there are several tabs, several representations of members, ratings, tabs, spammers, satoshi etc. etc. There are many things, and for me the image view is too closed for something that will need many elements. For me, the ideal would be to have a "top-down" view like the "where's wally?" drawing for example. I think that way we will be able to add more elements and show much more things.

for satoshi why not have have a shadowy figure off to the side with an architectural drawing board with the BTC tower taking shape on it. as in satoshi the designer/architect.  maybe theymos kinda looking on and tweaking something that looks like the basic bitcointalk.org forum layout on something. simplified of course to keep that style you have going.

since technically its math that solves the blocks maybe have some super vaguely "numberery" kinda robot that verifies the blocks as it goes and throws the orphaned blocks off to the side or something while organizing the good ones into the blockchain.

All the concepts are magnificent. However, there can be improvement on the personality you would want to refer Satoshi to. Since you already started using robots or cyborgs why not refer Satoshi whose facial expression is not afraid to break rules and his holding a mother box in his hands having a Bitcoin logo on it which signifies his creation of Bitcoin.





Note: this is not my artwork, it was gotten online just to show my point.

All the rest are okay. Am only suggesting in the place of Satoshi. The mystic wizard does not show much hierarchy in the world of robotics.

I liked all the newbies. They can spread them around the scene.

The role of moderator seems fine to me. But, the legendary character seems a little strange. I don't think these "barries" look that good. He seems more like a bossy fat man who is more of a villain than a respected character. I think the legendary character should seem more like a warrior hero, someone everyone admires.

In the case of the character Satoshi, the 3rd figure seems very interesting and the most appropriate. I would just change the bat... I don't know how, but I think it could be a little different.

The whole scene is hidden between these three artwork images, I really like the third image the best. 
The first artwork that bots have is interesting, which is a bot that is important to every person. 
But it would look good and attractive if they included the Bitcoin logo.

VISUAL UPDATE #3

I played around with designing our bots.

First are the newbies.
Very basic in form as they have yet to become full members and to show what they're worth.
They might already try though...



Then there are two big ones.
On the left is a legendary character (could be "whale") with barrels of merit and bitcoin with which to do what he pleases.
On the right is a admin/moderator character doing important work (notice the energized axe)



Finally are four designs for Satoshi himself.
Very different from others, more futuristic, better shaped and he seems like the main character.
On the third from left I deliberately made him look like a wizard, trying to tie some strings together...




Which one is your favorite?

This artwork of yours is really admirable, containing all kinds of content. Bitcoin Tower really matches the content of the forum, and the Bitcoin logo is more attractive. Looking at it will surely impress any person and make you go further with your art preferences.

I was particularly intrigued by each image, which featured the Bitcoin logo.
