Hello to anyone reading. I hope this Sunday morning is treating super well. We are currently seeing a very bear but “builders are made in a bear market.” I believe this quote personally because the bear market doesn’t involve much excitement so people spend time thinking and coming up with ways to take over. Any big project was created during the bear and released during bull or start of bull. Today, I want to speak a little about art of projects and the layout following. Continue below.
ART
Throughout the realm of twitter, there are currently projects creating there foundation while this bear market continues. Some are Ether, Azurbala, Friday Beers, Iron Paw Gang, and tons more. All of these have shown interesting and divergent styles of art. Azurbala hasn’t shown much but have created separate twitter counts to show different parts of the project. The one thing I want to focus on is the style. View below.
Here is a sneak peak at the art from Ether. Hand drawn, colorful, and appealing the eye.
Here is Iron Paw Gang art. This machine moves with all sorts of features. Super eye catching and a different size. A different perspective.
The thing about art is that it will never die. Some people enjoy it but some don’t even bat an eye at it. The people that do enjoy can appreciate the most weird and interesting pieces of work. That brings me to my next thing. Storytelling NFTs. They have been here for too long but people only are talking about them now. The picture of a jpeg having a narrative behind the curton. Behind the biggest blue-chips, anyone in this space can realize the story behind it. Looking at Mfers, they see the rug from the founder but still support it . Behind a picture of BAYC are the story of one of the first utility NFTs with the face of goner/gargamel staring back as “Big Brother” (little 1984 reference for you). My point is the storytelling NFTs will start to have the narrative behind them and people want a face to a jpeg.
Layouts/Roadmaps
Throughout this past year and a half, the world has provided many different types of roadmaps with some showing the sense of real thinking in them. The thing about roadmaps is that it is a fake waver saying “I will do all of this when I say I will.” The problem with that is the chance of a soft rug/rug is too high. A few ways to view this to not get rugged.
Check for a doxxed team/creator that doesn’t do the usual engagement farm/pump
Look for a different vibe in the roadmap, something you have not seen or even heard of
Art that is so good that you think it is fake
An active discord with active mods or even the owner speaking
Twitter Spaces. A see loads of creators who I believe in as with many others using twitter spaces to give small leaks, show support, and show they are a real person with real thoughts
