Look let's just get this out of the way first and foremost. I am not a artist by any stretch of the imagination. However I do have a passion for NFT's and cryptocurrency. I have made a few NFT's in the past 2 years but I wanted to broaden my spectrum on the fundamentals of NFT's and how to create them and how to market them and how to create something more then just an image uploaded as a NFT.
Here are just a few of my past NFT's.
To that end I wanted to create a set of guides on how to create NFT's from start to finish but then I thought, hey wait a minute why don't I create my own new collection of sorts and have fun with it and share it with all of you? So that is what I started out to do. It's been about a 5 month journey up until this moment of brainstorming ideas and getting some sketches down on paper. The tweaking that design and overall feel of the collection and this is what I came up with.
For too long I have hated some Cryptocurrency logo designs. I thought a lot of them are just cheap boring designs that don't bring anything to the token. So I set out to design my own logo's for various tokens and currencies. Sure I have dabbled in this before but I wanted to take it a step further. This time there would be packs and blends and drops oh my!
Are these designs really that cool or innovative or even original?
This was my first stab at a design and it was for Litecoin. When I hear Litecoin I think of either light as in a source of light emission like a light bulb. Or the other thing I think of is "light as a feather". The beauty and confusingness of the English language is the same word can have multiple meanings but it's fun for me.
What I didn't want to do is do all this work and lose a bunch of WAX from minting, and blending and the drops and packs. However as those of you who have followed me here for a while know, I am not here to sell you over priced NFT's mainly because they are made and created for fun and for you guys to have fun as well.
To that end before we go any further my packs will be sold on NeftyBlocks for either 2 WAX each or 10 NEFTY. I wanted them to be cheap enough that almost anyone could buy a couple packs but also cost enough to cover the cost of minting, blending and the RAM that will need.
Each pack contains 3 letters from the English Alphabet. The packs are minted on demand so the sooner you purchase the packs the lower the Mint #'s you will get. Once you unpack these the actual alphabet letters are minted on demand as well so the sooner you unpack them the lower the Mint 3's you will get as well.
I will admit most of the alphabet letters where created haphazardly but I took my time with the Blends because that is where I really wanted this collection to shine. You can't see it in this article but all the blends are gif's and not static images. While the letters are static images
Believe me I already have over 30 Blends either ready to go or almost ready to go. I am always on the lookout for other things to make new logos of so I am always open to suggestions.
All my Blends when they are live will be located here: https://neftyblocks.com/c/trocproclock/Blends
Onto the second part of this article the Discord Server!
We could just end it there but I won't. And I know I know not another Discord server to keep track of. But here me out guys. I promise to not ping you as much as the Wombat Discord Server (which is saying a LOT)!
I needed a way to group people together. I needed a way to basically give away NFT's to people. I tried in the past to do it on Publish0x and this is just not the place designed to hold giveaways and such. So why not create a Discord server where I could just have a place to hang out with friends and discuss Crypto or that weird Real life thing everyone keeps talking about.
I am constantly trying to find new crypto related projects to get into. I have a million bookmarks in Brave Browser and no real easy way to share it with all of you. So a dedicated place where we all could share new projects, or complain about existing projects.
But why should you join my server? Well you don't have to :) I am just looking for a place to send people NFT's and maybe small airdrops of satoshi's from time to time. We have a few cool bots as well
- Catch & Battle Poke'mon
- Free Stuff, will update anytime there are free PC games from GOG or Epic Games or Steam
- Tipcc bot for sending tips
- Crypto Display so you can keep track of the market and prices of a few coins
That is pretty much the end of my self promotion article. I have spent a ton of time on the overall NFT space on this collection. Some of you might hate them and hey "to each his own". It won't bother me. To those of you who want to just hang out and talk crypto then come on over. If you drop me your WAX address below I will send you a free pack ;)
Also full disclosure as this is a learning curve for me as well... The Discord link I included on my NFT's expires in 7 days lol soooo that was a fail on my part. But the link included in this article will always work. Oops.
Also I cannot understate how much of a help Cryptozeug has been in helping me with all of the above. So shoutout to you my friend!
