Using comics as blockchain narratives and storytelling!

in #comics4 years ago

Still surviving, and I’ll say thriving with a cautiously lowercase “t”, here in quarantine. I’m pretty much being consumed by art and creative energy from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep. Even more so than when all of this started. Thank you for all the love here lately. It’s continuing to fuel my output and reaffirm that this a worthy use of my time. Today, I’ve been finishing work on a big, big project. It’s comic related and most of you know, that’s where my heart truly is. I’m going to ask to temper any tribalism you may have, because I’m very proud of how this turned out.

As I’ve mentioned, I’m leading the art and marketing initiative at @eos.detroit. Really, the only project that turns my stomach is TRON, but there are a few I’m especially enamored with. HIVE, and EOS, at the top. @robrigo handed me the reigns of @eos.detroit’s visual art strategy and I’ve been running for it since. To his credit, the crazy idea of branding ourselves as the “graphic novel” block producer was a huge leap of faith, but he’s had complete trust in me, so I’m trying to deliver that this may work at getting up some attention, and votes.

This “clans” idea is something I came up with about two months ago. A lot has happened since then. We have a Q1 Proxy Prospectus release coming up at the end of this month, and this was the most ambitious of several pages of comic book art I’ve produced since signing on with @eos.detroit. The premise is, EOSIO, the overarching blockchain software, is the creator and giver of life to all these clans; a metaphor for the projects and sister chains running alongside EOS. The rest of the narrative is self explanatory, I think.

I made a VLOG a couple days ago about realizing what my role in all of this should be. I want to be an ambassador for the artists that exist in the blockchain space. We have HIVE, and a few other social blockchain networks, but I want to see our art reach farther and start telling the stories behind the technological feats that are often explained in white papers and medium posts. This was a really cool project. I’m so happy with how it turned out. Thanks for checking it out, and have a great night.

Dude.. this is amazing :D

Together we are much stronger. Awesome work on this Lars!

This is nice creativity. The way you used the clans to explained EOSIO project in the comic is awesome. I wish you all the best. You should have shared the link to the VLOG.

Very cool! I think the top no-no's on my list would be TRON and RIPPLE. I am not a fan of either of those for a variety of reasons. I really like what you did with the artwork. It makes a lot of sense the way you put it together. It is very fitting for EOSIO.

You know I am a huge fan!

I’ve playing a lot of sekiro and this art work made me feel enamored. Great concept and good luck

Oh my wow. Such amazing art! You're so talented. You being a great ambassador of art on the Blockchain. There still is room for many artist to grow around here. Any chance to see Trials by comics come back? I'd love to sponsor one of these to spread the word about my comic focused Hive interface @inkito. ;-)
