What made you get into NFT design in the first place ?
I started to collect them when you introduced them to me 😉. I love to draw always have and decided to turn the drawing I created with our daughter into NFTs. They're a little different from what I'm used to seeing so was unsure if people would enjoy them.
And how have you found the response from the community?
I have found the community in the NFT world amazing everyone is so helpful and supportive. No bad words to say.
Have you always been artistic ?
Yes always, I was that kid always sketching at the back of the class room. Had a graffiti stage when I was about 12 for a few years. 😝
How long have you been designing NFT?
All together about 4 months, including planning and figuring out what way I would do them etc.
Why do you design NFT's the way you do ?
I like the cute cartoon look, then I based them on our 2 kids and dog, fitting they're personalities into the characters. As you no Lexi is sassy, cheeky with a mix of sporty and girls... all dresses, make up but then loves to play sport
Darragh is sweet, sensitive but also extremely cheeky and funny, only 6 months old so lots of personality to develop, Ted is cuddly, energetic and a grumpy shite 🤣
Are they all hand drawn first ?
Hand drawn on my tablet
What your favorite software for designing NFT's ?
I'm working on testing new ones our but at the moment I use auto desk to draw them, then after effects to animate them.
How long does it take to design each NFT?
Each NFT takes about a week to make I try work on it for about 2 hours each night
What's your favorite NFT you have designed ? Can I have a pic of it ?
So far I think its my latest Darasuaras he is fancy AF... and as my animation skills are improving the NFTs are getting better.
Who is your favorite NFT designer ? Why ?
I have loads tbh but if I and to pick one Cryptomonkeys, Well soggyapplepie I love the concept and they're really well designed.
How many collections or cards have you made ?
I have 3 collections, each collection is one for each character. So far I have 6 already released and have a further 3 prepared to go. I work on them a little each night and takes around 1 week to perfect one.
What advice do you have for people trying to get into NFT world?
To just go for it, not over think your designs, it took me ages to release my first NFT because I didn't think people would like them. Do it for fun not for money 😉
