Attention Photoshop Artists -- In need of Avatar Designer of Multiple Layers
A PAID project has been presented where one or more artists will be needed to generate Layered Avatars via Photshop or similar software. Details are provided along with the possibility of growing this into a much larger art collection in one of the most popular and expanding markets that is hungry for new works.
Hello again amazing artists of SoFurry!
A close friend of mine will be producing UNIQUE Non-Fungilbe Tokens (NFTs) based upon an Avatar body with a variety of Layers to create them.
In other words, imagine most Avatar creation engines that allow you to choose a body type, hair style, skin tone, eyes, nose, mouth, facial hair, eye wear, shirt, background, props, etc.
This project is similar, however, each NFT will be generated through coding to select one element from each layer (i.e. say there are 10 hairstyles, 10 eyes, etc.) for a total image formed from each piece.
These projects are becoming more and more common, however, much of the art out there is amateur at best. When I see the amazing work created by so many talented individuals here, I can't help but think what such projects could really evolve with professional artists behind them.
I know pricing will be fair, but I don't know the number of Layers and Elements in each Layer that he intends to offer. All of this will be made available upfront, in order for both parties to agree on deliverables and fees.
Most importantly, each Layer Element must fit with each of the other Layer elements. Due to the order of layers, some may cover up a prior element (i.e. eyewear covering up eyes, facial hair covering up mouths, headwear props covering up hair, etc.).
If this sounds like a project that interests you please PM me directly and I'll put you in touch with him.
As soon as I have more information, I'll happily make it available as well.
For the longest time, I've wanted to find ways for this community to benefit from their work outside of self-publishing and commission artwork only. I believe we may have an answer to that with NFTs, given that some have sold for ridiculous sums for art that appears to be the musings of a 5-year-old with a crayon.
That said, marketing plays a key role in any project, so this is a bit of a proving ground, though many concepts have taken off. Suffice it to say, the artist or artists that engage with him will most definitely be paid, and there may be opportunities for royalties with subsequent projects.
Here are some sample NFT collections based upon this concept:

This is just one NFT distribution network ... If you're not familiar with Cryptocurrency, don't worry, that's where he excels ... Though his initial project has specific goals, we can certainly see about expanding and providing an outlet for "Adoptable Characters", Stories, even perhaps Videos. It's a bold new world, and the opportunities are boundless, so first let's see who might be interested in this project or subsequent NFT projects yet to come.
I look forward to hearing from you!
