    The sketch doesn't really have anything to do with bitcoin except for the title.
    Looking for a signature campaign.

    guess I should have released the finalized version first, then the original sketch.  the  final version will have Bitcoin logos on his armor and his armor will be a beautiful gold.  it will be subtle, though.

    the final version will be fully detailed with coloring added and several other details.  this is the preliminary sketch, basically the "beginning" of what the design will be.  should have released the other first, would have made more sense.

    This one is indeed the original 1 of 1.  the final version is not going to look like this at all, as it will be heavily detailed, fine-tuned, and tons of colors added with other background pieces.

    I agree releasing the Bitcoin themed one first would've been a good idea.  Is the final version complete or still in brainstorming?

    I don't  understand selling an original "1 of 1" but later have other copies released ..   making the original not a

     1 of 1...    Are there multiple copies of all your 1 of 1 work....

    your work is no longer becoming a collectible. its something new every other day and there is no collectible quality to it because you are oversaturating your own market. putting a bullshit limit of 21 on these things doesnt mean anything. now im not trying to chase you away but maybe try and time your releases together and offer a series or something. people have nicely suggested you post these in the Goods section because they feel the same way.

    slapping a reused print on a desk pen holder and limiting it to 21 and overcharging for it... thats the one that really got to me and sparked this rant.

    I hate to say it but I have to agree.
    Don’t get me wrong, I really like your work and think you’re super talented, but releasing new prints every other day reduces the collectible factor. You could still sell them as crypto merch but they’re not suited to the collector’s sub.
    I think you either need to go easy on the releases or just change the angle of your sales model (more crypto art than crypto collectibles).

    I see what you mean.  I never did end up selling that, was just gauging interest.

    I still feel they are collectible; regardless of if there's a new design, how could the Bitcoin Knight be any less collectible because the To the Moon was released?  They are completely different designs and of their own uniqueness.  I do agree with spreading things out.  And I will do that from now on.

    I suppose the excitement of the Bitcoin space hit me like a train, honestly.  I personally got into Bitcoin just barely in July and the excitement for me keeps growing.  So it only made sense for me to work on what I am truly passionate about, rather than focus on pop culture pieces which, honestly, the passion for that was fading. 

    I don't have any new designs in the que except for this one and then one original, hand painted oil on canvas that's now taken 4 weeks so far.  Other than that, you won't see anything new from me until next year.
