Welcome to another meet the artist as always I was hunting across twitter for you guys to bring you another great artist and I can say I have another really talented artist his NFT's are amazing but don't just take my word check out what he has to say and his work .....
Hey how you
I'm fine 🤠
Great . Any big plans for today ?
I'm doing the 2nd edition of my wax project called the 'Battle Ready Warriors' and other arts for foundation and opensea
Oh wow you are on three different markets wow you must be busy creating NFT's ?
Yes I draw most of the time even at my personal job, I'm the manager here so they can't tell me what to do, but I always get the job done so nobody ever bothers me when I'm drawing something.
Oh what is your full time job ?
I'm an operation manager for a storage , warehousing and packaging services.
Where you from ?
Philippines
I keep meeting so many great artists from there . Oh cool how you come cross NFT's ?
I did play alienworlds and stumble upon a twitter giveaway with NFT prize, with Racoon Brand and Tidbyts and I won , so I searched about NFT and it's also in crypto.
How long you been involved in NFT's ?
About 6months already. I got a bunch of my old drawings and try to upload on different NFT platforms, that's when I met these group called NFTArtist United, and they helped me set up.
That's good and where did you launch your first NFT ?
On opensea,
Oh wow that's dark ! What made you come to wax ?
And then at atomichub for Wax platform
https://wax.atomichub.io/creator/collection/penartdborjs/schema/penartsseq1
Wax is a perfect place for me to share my artworks . And people there like to support incoming and new artist
Where did you come up with your idea for your project ?
Since I was a kid whenever I dream about something I always try to remember that dream and put it in my drawings, I did my first great art and sold to my dad's friend when I was 7 years old, it's about the boogyman who cases you until you fall on the cliff.
Haven't got a copy of it but I have this dream which is always the same so the drawings came out vivid to exactly what was the dream about.
The idea of BRW was about heroes and universal evil, which is like a fantasy art from heavy metal magazines and oh I dreamt about them and just like a kid
Looking at your NFT's I get what you mean it is great art work and some would make fabulous rock tattoos and the BRW is amazing do you had draw all of that?
Yes all of the characters, manually drawn, I got help from my son who inherited my talent 😂 for rendering and inking.
They are amazing and its great that your son has picked up your talent as well . How long would take to draw and create them into NFT's ?
In one day I make about 2 characters, but rather time consuming so I make about 6 sketches for a days ink and rendering with my son for a day and then adding the background and effects for about 2hours , so I'd say 2 days for 6 characters in NFT
That's a good few what programs you using to create them ?
It's an app on mobile most are old school editing on PowerPoint and the old photo software called ACDsee
So all your NFT's are created on a phone?
Not actually I'm using the mobile apps for the effects only the background and set ups are all done on PC
Ah how many NFT's have you think you have made ?
Don't know for sure, I got more NFT's on Wax, other than BRW, I have also a bunch of sketches and pen arts on Wax . For the 1st edition of BRW I'd say 16 characters , 4 promo NFT's , 2packs, 12 upgraded characters
And when was that dropped ? How did the community react to that ?
I'm new to these drop that time so community was taken by surprise but the packs drop was done last May, and all other drops was made April, the upgraded version was this June, the 2nd edition is scheduled to launch this 1st week of July
Oh cool any sneaks peaks of the 2nd edition ?
The NFT that sold out are the BHZRD card pass in which the holder gets free NFT from my collection . Yes 2nd edition characters are only sketches right now but I love to show it to you.
Of course so they are being rewarded.
They are amazing and have you everything worked out for season 2 yet as in all the characters
Not yet, there will be 15 BR warriors and 10 Dark legion, and a monster upgrade versions of some of the characters and I try to contact other NFT artist on Wax which have a character based NFT, like Tidbyts ducks, to show on the BRW
There will be a few Collab's thrown in ?
Yes I hope so. So far Tidbyts ducks is the only one accepted my invite for a Collab
Is there an artists you would love to work with ?
Yes I might say all of them haha, I love to work with other artist that would also like to be in a Collab, I have a Collab art for Parrotfish Journey and I think it's not finished yet, there are 25 artist involve in that Collab and I'm one of them
Ah the cryptopups Collab !!!!!
I just saw your retweet the other day with the dark country and I would participate on that contest
I was invited also by other artist but not in wax , but on Rarible and other platforms
Yea dark country looking for artists for there competition . What's your favourite NFT you have created ?
I don't have a favourite if I was the one who created the NFT but to say, I love the BRW which is like a dream come true for me to build a story about what I dreamt about, and adding the character Jane she reminds me of my wife how she was a badass back when we are in high school, lol
That's lovely thing to say that you have created a character that reminds of your wife.
She had 5 kids for me and that's one thing I would say that she's a badass mother and lovely wife.
So you have a character based on your wife ?
This is the 1st edition full set characters yes I based my wife as Jane of planet earth this the upgrade set of characters
She must love having a character based on her .
All of those NFT characters have a story to tell
And will some of there stories feature in season 2
Yes their stories continues except for the new characters that'll be new story for them
I am guessing your next drop is in July ?
Yes BRW 2nd edition Drop for those who have a complete set of the Upgraded characters, and a free drop for the essentials and the major drop, that will be on July 1st and 2nd week.
So collectors still have time to finish there upgrades .Tell us something random about yourself ?
I started drawings when I was 3 and develop as I grew, for me Art is appreciation of one's work, art is everywhere, I do most of my drawings by pens and putting a little twist on it, most of my art are from my dreams and everyday experiences, I'm a family man and everyday I have to ask question to my kids what have they experienced today. before college I started my own business printing t-shirts and some of them are hand painted, me and my friends called my shop 'Homeboyz Shop'
When your not working or creating NFT's what can we finding you doing ?
I do gunsmithing for gun collectors and motor paintjobs aside from my day job and mostly hanging out with my family at home.
Class
What advice do you have for new artists getting into NFT's ?
There's a lot of talented artist out there, and never underrate yourself, each art is different, so patience is your friend. and have fun doing your art and sharing them.
Any chance of a drop or competition for the readers ?
Yes, if you don't mind I want you to give your followers giveaways if that's cool with you.
Perfect
I will send you the BRW 1st edition Full set pack, how about 20NFTs?
