NFT competition - Help me pick some "art" to NFT and win one for yourself!

in Proof of Brain3 years ago (edited)

Hi All, I like to learn by doing so I have decided to try to turn a piece of my work into art and see how it goes. I am hoping to take my learnings and create a helpful guide for those who want to follow. With that in mind I thought I would start talking about the steps I have done so far in case it's helpful for someone else and then I will move onto the competition I promise!

So to date, I have:

  1. Gone to nftshowroom.com
  2. Registered my profile including a portfolio link and social media link to verify. In this case, it was the same, Instagram
  3. Joined their discord channel and learnt it's going to take a few days and wait for a verification message on my social media link
  4. Wait 5 days, realises I don't know how to check Instagram for messages and discover it's been sitting there all along
  5. Check, send a message back and am now verified ready to go.

Ok so now to the prize! I don't which piece of work to NFT so I want to throw it out to the community! Anyone who drops a comment below with a vote can go into the draw and I will randomly choose a winning comment to get a free NFT of the winning piece. Now I don't know what it's worth but it costs 5 HIVE to make the first and 1 HIVE for every one made after that, so it's got to be worth... well I don't know but hey free NFT!

Ok quick rules I guess:

  1. Only one comment per person lets play nice
  2. However you can vote for multiple pieces in the comment, however, still only counts are one entry
  3. Not sure how long I will run this for as I want to get on and creating but once I get a good feel I'll let everyone know it's closed. Won't be more than 7 days!
  4. Only 1 NFT prize at the moment but I'll also look to invest the rewards from this post into it as well so potentially I might be able to hand out more (but you don't need to upvote to win!)

Ok hopefully everyone else finds this fun too and it also turns into a learning experience as I move through the process. Please use the numbers below in your voting!

Also big thank you to everyone who encouraged me to go for it :)

Thank you so much! 😃

More then welcome!

Thank you and thanks for joining in! Glad you liked some and good luck! Thanks for the names as well!

All your works seem perfect to me, I don't have to buy any NFT but I hope to win one, that would make me very happy. By the way, I still haven't received the confirmation message on twitter from nftshowroom, I have to check that. I choose nº 5, nº 18 and nº 23, for me nº 23 is an angel talking to a human being.

The ideal would be that you upload all these works to NFT because they are very good. You have my support in this project.

Thanks!!! The discord channel is really helpful for follow ups, maybe give them a buzz?

Talk to Julia in discord. She will help you. You can also write to her directly on Twitter.

Thank you very much and I wish you the best of luck. You are very talented.

Up until now, I had only seen the 'fox reflection' pic (#27). When I saw that, I felt compelled to encourage you to explore NFTs. After seeing your other work, I am doubling down on that initial encouragement.

I am impressed with the diversity of styles. You have the ability to appeal to multiple, wide and diverse audiences.

My 8yo son's fav was #27.

Mine is probably #10.

I am no art critic, but something tells me that many in the NFT world will prefer something that stretches the boundaries a bit, such as #24 or #11.

There's something about #18 that is really appealing to me.

I also like the simplicity of #12.

And, I like #27 & #28, too -- those two would make a good combo NFT.

Quite honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any of these.

Thanks so much for you and your sons feedback(say thank you from me). I didn't want to tag you and seem to pander but your comments helped give me a nudge to go after this, so also thanks for that! I like making art for people so thats why I would much rather yours and other hivers feedback then an art crtics.

Many thanks!

Looking forward to tracking (and encouraging) your future success in this space!

Your welcome and thanks!!

I’m hooked!

I will definitely be buying more of your artwork.

My favs; the own, the fox, and the bee!

Good luck with them and I have decided to upvote this for the one I love the most - the fox close-up and I'll reblog it right now so maybe others will engage.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

Thanks for the upvote you didn't have to do that and glad you liked the art!

I know I didn't have to but I appreciate Art in all of its forms.
I liked those 3 pieces so much, the fox is exquisite!

It's reblogged now, I hope this will raise the engagement.
Hugs!

Thank you so much!

I love it!

Is the competition tweeped? That could help others engage also.

Now, I am enjoying my NFT!

I am so happy! Yeah! Just before I go to sleep!

!LUV

I mglad you like it! tweeped?

BTW...I love the fox face. That's my fav!

...as in if it is tweeted? No worries. I've published an article about and it's on Twitter now. Maybe this will get you more traction.

Sorry, you're out of LUV tokens to be sent today. Try tomorrow. (Having at least 5 LUV in your wallet allows you to freely give 3 per day.)

Doing what I can to boost awareness of your artwork:

Thanks! you didn't have to do that but appreciate it!

That's the beauty of decentralization. No one has to do anything.

Everyone is free to choose to act or to choose to not act -- although there are 'rules' (as set by the community), there are no rulers here -- no one telling me (or you) what to do.

I love your artwork and appreciate your approach to life, art, community, etc.

tough call. I am torn between 6) and 11). Let's go with 11), I love the Umbrella Academy.

Oh and to not be rude, I can also totally see the other picture in it. Where sometimes it feels like you are a fish in a bowl that is your own head. That head is filled with the tears of the world.

Congrats on making your first NFT, I wish you viel Erfolg!

Cool! Thanks, mate! Since this only looks similar, I have to ask: Is this meant to be Carmichael from Umbrella Academy? It looks like him either in his younger years or just for once wearing not his suit but some casual wear instead.

Is it cool with you if I gift a printout to a friend? He recommended Umbrella Academy to me and is as much of a fan as I am.

It was totally unintentionally (I have not watched it but want to!) but I can see it now. Of course you can print it for them, are they on here? If so let me know their hive name and I'll send one to them

no, its an IRL firend. I tried to on-board him, but you know how people are...

And Umbrella pretty fast became one of my favorite series, really great characters. Highly recommend the watch.

Glad you liked some! And thanks for joining the competition!

Hehe, if ever i'm allowed to give my opinion again, 😉 , i would suggest number 23... though there are many excellent work of art here. 16 - 12 - 10 - 4 ...

Your opinion is always welcome!

Omg you are so talented, I love the fact you are a terminal-proofofbrainer-showroomer blogger now

  1. The eye on hive
  2. Stayten when he didn’t get a cookie
  3. Is that from the movie the girl with the dragon fly tattoo or the tv serie with the special agent I don’t know the name of the serie
    12 the hart can be a hive logo
    21 the Feathered friends community will love this
    28 the fox loves me
    29 the future dream and I am on my way
    40 in the end we are all 🐝 bees in this incredible hive

Love the art and you see it inspired me tremendously good work I am gonna try the ntf registration too

See ya

I love that I am able to guess most of these, maybe I'll need to a have a title comp soon! Especially stayten gets no cookie 🤣😂😄 and thanks for joining the comp!

You should for sure start the process, would love to see some of your nfts!

If you are an artist (a fact that stands out!), It is a good step that you have started in the NFTs. I have read great content about them and how they rebound to a technology that allows the rising artist to consolidate and not wait the terrible posthumous way. I think, the moment is here and it is now.

For my part, I liked number # 11 more. I don't know exactly what inspiration you've done it with. However, it makes me remember the moments when my mind wanders in so many thoughts ... Moments of silence for me ... Greetings and many successes in your new steps!

I must say you have a good hand of art, impressive art work 💕

Really hard to pick, they are all soooooo good!!!!

I'd be happy with any of them, but my favorite is #2 and if I won #30 I'd give to my wife (She's a beelover!)

Great art mate!!! Keep on sharing!
And good luck on your NFT journey!

Picking one is absolutely impossible! Wow, so many wonderful pieces here. Really, I like them all because there's such diversity. Beautifully rendered. Some of my favourites are:
#2, #4, #10, #11, #18, #26, #28
But....I'm picking #30 as my favourite. Bees have personal significance to me, in addition to this being very well done. 😁

Thanks so much for the kind words and for joining in! If only @stayten would join us!

@failingforwards - I would, only if you make my tracks go up to 1K streams, fractions of cents baby!

I'm listening as hard as I can!

@stayten is making you work far too hard for it, imo

@failingforwards Yo, don't listen to her, you're doin' fine!

Stop distracting from the point of the matter ;)

Hey now, hey now

You're most welcome, it's fun and a delight. I think @stayten needs to be NUDGED and WINKED in.

Right @stayten? 😜😉

@nineclaws, I mean, some winks won't hurt you know? No smirks please, uh-uh!

Gentle Winks IN😉

You also said all winks were okay on another post. Why the sudden change?
