Topic: >>JOIN<< The BITCOIN FORUM METAVERSE Art Project with BTC Artist 1Dq - page 9. (Read 5865 times)

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.

Cool idea! I love it. Some ideas, I don't know if they are helpful, but it means something to different parts of the forum.

Red flags: How users sometimes fight mini wars between themselves using trust system. Someone planting a red flag onto someone who's planting a red flag on someone else? Gang turf war?

Charities: I've always loved how this forum has helped charitable causes. (food banks or covid help I recall, even donations during sickness). Maybe just a QR code as a grafitti for these guys?

Other creators (not just collectibles): We've got logo makers, event organisers, the guys behind talkimg. Maybe a street seller selling image wares or as someone mentioned BSFL logos? The gambling section is one hugely underrated Bitcoin-transacting group!

The long-running circular economy of BTT -- signature campaigners, I still remember the biggest one, who used to buy the biggest ad spaces. And then hastily removing them for others. Maybe a tattoo artist erasing THAT logo from someone's arm?

These look fun, though it would make it the only fantasy element in a science fiction universe.
Let's see if anything else fantastic crops up and it becomes a thing!


I'm glad to hear this artwork will also help, not just entertain members!


1.) The puzzle that reads "spam" from an angle (which we can see) sounds like a fun idea, I'll try to implement it somehow!
Not sure if any naming spammers is worth it, it might seem like a victory to have made it into a painting...

2.) That's another new idea for Merit!

3.) I could try placing the article somewhere around Satoshi if space and context allow it in the end!
And Theymos to join Satoshi too.

something like a disorganized puzzle that when rearrange or looked from an angle spells the word spam while maybe, few names of some well known bitcointalk spammers could be written faintly underneath the area where the spam is to be represented.
a golden coin in form of a medal with a +1 inscribed on the top would go well to describe it. And if you have any intention of representing any sort of user rank in the art, multiple stars on the centre of the coin could be used for highly ranked users while +1 wil be for newbies to full members.

Satoshi could be painted holding the Bitcoin whitpaper and reading the [newspaper where BTC was first mentioned and other important collectibles could be placed on a book shelf by him and the names of those collections and possibly dates written on each of them while a representation of thymos and merit source drawn close to each having Big eyesand jointly watching over the forum.

I  am a newbie but the graphical representation will give me a clearer understanding of the forum's exciting features. I like your suggestion of Scammers behind bars, it gives the impression that the wrong people in digital space don't go unpunished it is not just peculiar to the forum. Sometimes a book requires graphics to entice a reader and I am glad @ 1Dq Artwork project will bring that uniqueness and insights of Pictorial representation as well.

Yes, hahaha. That's what I am thinking which is why I posted it. A robot dumping toxic fluid should be comparable to spam posts. It is kind of an additional to the names that every forum members know. As we all know, there's Satoshi, faketoshi and now wizardtoshi or wizardoshi (in your post quoted above). This is what I found searching the internet which is close to what I imagine about the wizard.

This is what I have in mind although the bitcoin logo is in a square shape instead of a circle.


It is not bad but the color that is used makes the logo not very clear.


This would have been right but for me, it lacks the glow like on the first image although the bitcoin logo is what I have in mind.

I like the idea of these important personalities somehow working together!
 


Will check out Finney and Laszlo a bit, thanks for the tip.

There are a couple of very different ideas for merit now, this might end up as contest in the end haha.

Making these characters dark is a interesting idea, the triangle one might be added somewhere for laughs too, we'll see!



I get where you're coming from however I have to agree with krogoth:


BTC Let's keep our heads high! BTC


Toxic fluid barrel carrying robots is an idea now.
Another very different idea for merit, great haha
Wizardoshi? 



Will check out @bitboy, thanks for the tip.

Oh and hats off to you, sir!

I believe @bitboy deserves to be in the painting, he created the orange Bitcoin logo that we all still use today after 14 years: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/more-bitcoin-logos-buttons-and-also-some-other-graphics-1631

It's a cool part of bitcoin/bitcointalk history.

It's the same guy who created those "btc accepted here" signs:

---

*hats off*

Robots would be fine. Robots that are carrying barrel and are pouring the contents into the ground or to sewer. Like dumping toxic waste which I think can be compared to spammers who only spam the forum.


For me, it would be respect where two people or robots shaking hands where other people or robots raising their hands to shake but no one shakes their hand. It could also mean that those who are shaking hands have done something good for the community or having contributed to the community and it is also mean achievements.


I am not sure if it's good or not but here's my idea, my main character would be a wizard casting spell where a hard disk/hard drive can be seen between the hands of the wizard or a Bitcoin logo in a circle between the hands. Like gathering a ball of energy between the hands.

  There are no Bitcoin accepted here signs cause it's the future and Bitcoin is accepted everywhere. That's like saying dollars accepted here today in stores.
 It is assumed that Bitcoin is the main currency and no need for signs since it's mainstream
  

There's something missing on these robots.


What kind of future is this if a BTC-machine robot doesn't accept payment in BITCOIN!

Your canvas needs improvement. In general, the entire city of the future should be strewn with similar signs: "BITCOIN accepted here".

3. The main character can be Satoshi because he is the founder but Hal Finney and Laszlo (the Pizza Dude) also deserve the place if you don't want to give this place to Satoshi. I know the first trade was not the trade of Laszlo but most people think he is the one to make the first trade which made BTC more famous among people. Hal Finney because he is one of those people who are gone and was with Satoshi. Theymos also deserves the place but you already kinda wrote his name in the back section.

2. To visualize the merit of this forum, you can simply make a coin like BTC mean in golden color, but if you will be making smaller-sized icons of it then people can mistake it with BTC so change the color for it, maybe like Green Merit coin (M+ written on it). + it would be great to add with the icon or symbol because it will clearly convey the idea.

1. If you want to indicate a spammer, scammer, or someone who doesn't act according to the rules of the form among the crowd of people in the front section, then I will say keep them dark if you are not planning to keep other characters dark, if not? Then, keep him/her dark for the whole person and use the error symbol in the middle. But if you will edit the error symbol (the triangle in red color, with a transparent background so it shows the person's colors as background or I should say, a simple triangle with red boundaries and scammers written in the middle. What you say.

Just shared my thoughts I hope you won't mind them, and I kinda enjoyed sharing these, I hope I will be of some help. Thanks.

I would say satoshi would like in a form of like a entity overseeing the towers from above with his hands in hugging the buildings or just looking down on it, while theymos will be like a game master below satoshi, while the spammers are like scavenger robots with ragged clothings, merits are like a charging station of energy to get power , visualizing rankings of members.
