Thanks for all the great feedback! ;)

What's best for the environment is to not use this overcomplicated, underproductive system to do what commissioning has been doing for years without having to serialize a PNG.

i'm not sure if people are objecting to your idea of selling nft's, or if this is just the general sentiment towards nft's right now. they're being memed on real hard right now, with people on twitter who have spent tens of thousands of dollars for a objectively bad image of a monkey getting furious with people who are right clicking and saving their nft. to be honest, when i saw this post i literally lol'd because that is exactly what came to mind, and this might be most people's gut reaction. getting past the initial reaction, i wouldn't know if this is a good idea. there's a very real possibility of nft's just being a fad, and that their perceived value will go out with it. even if nft's are here to stay, there's no saying that yours will be seen as valuable, (even if they pass the unbelievably low bar for quality that some nft's have set,) so i guess it's a matter of if you are willing to risk the amount of time and effort into this for the chance of financial gain.

Which is what I was trying tunderstand. If you still have rights to edit and patreons still can see the art - what benefit does the purchaser of the NFT even have? Basically I'm asking what's the incentive for me to spend money to purchase the NFT? Thanks

Honestly I would not really invest in it personally nor would I do it as an artist. NFT's , from what I read, are just certificate of ownership but not the actual product itself. I understand the reasoning though, but I personally don't see the value of it.

LustGard

Can also add, the art would still be available as it always has been, but after being published, we would then have an auction for it on an crypto market.

This nft sure took the market by storm, it has the community very divided too. I cannot see how it could damage anything really, epic games, twitter and various other larger ones seem to get on board with avatar verification to the nfts the owner has bought. But again, discord received tons of hate for trying to do some sort of link to nfts recently. Im trying to learn about it as well I can, by reading, friends and videos, but they are equally split in opinions.

LustGard

Thanks, really appriciated. Yeah, Maybe comissions would be something. 🤔

LustGard

No rush Brian, hold your horses, only trying to make sense of it all 🙂 the poll will help me make a decision about it further down the road, and as it is looking right now, Lustgard is not going forward with it.

nope, bye

Please do not. NFTs are far too volatile. If you seek funding by creating one-of-a-kind items, then I would recommend high-price commissions, not items using cryptocurrency. I love your work, but NFTs are not the way I would support this.

I lack understanding as to the mechanics of NFTs. However, if you believe that this is a worthwhile investment for your brand and future projects that won't harm what you're trying to build, then go for it.

LustGard

Thanks for the good insightful reasoning behind the vote. Helps me make a decision. This all is going fast, and I received some dms on disc with warnings and encouragement from other artist friends in the cgi art scene. Some did minting only to counter the scammers.

LustGard

Not selling rights directly, me as an artist and creator of the said artwork still have the rights to make edits etc. Future art would still be released on patreon as usual too.

Aspyr

I think the vast majority have voted no because it's hard to see how an NFT is better than just pledging actual money? I know very little about NFTs so correct me if I am missing something here, but would you effectively be selling the rights to pieces of your art as an NFT?

I'd much rather fund you through a commission than NFTs. That is unless your NFTs stand for "Noice Fu*kin* Tits", then I support it 100%

H-Jack-Rabbit

I think you should look into other markets like Solana and Kadena.

Ewerion

I voted no, mainly because the whole NFT thing didn't have the time to legally establish itself yet. We don't really know what it would look like if someone claims ownership of one. To be clear, I support you because I want to see more of your art. NFTs might help you to provide even more, which would be great. Yet, if I dont get to see that art I have no reason to fund. This could easily happen if patreon or other sites make policy changes to forbid NFTs on their site, because of legal risks. Given that NFTs are 'trendy' the market is also quite unreliable, which adds a gambling note to the mix, which I also don't like.

LustGard

That is correct, had a typo there. Thanks for feedback, need to hear this, it really has the art community divided.

William

I really just don't care either way, but sorry to say I can almost guarentee I won't buy any.

Mendari

I think you have a typo, where you refer to ADA, or "Cardano" as "Cordana" Also I wouldn't recommend Cardano personally as a reliable crptocurreny right now because they are dealing with some legal troubles and their coin might lose a lot of value soon, but I wouldn't call myself an expert on this topic
