Much of the stigma around NFTs is warranted, I think. There are many scammy and sketchy "projects" out there that want nothing but to capitalize off hype.
I knew that if I was going to make any of these things and tell people to check them out, they'd need to at least try to have some purpose. And they need to look half-decent!
They are basically nothing but very fancy hyperlinks. However, each one will commemorate the release of a full chapter from my Scholar & Scribe serialized novel, The Childseeker's War.
The 1st Editions are minted with cent.co and initially collected on a custodial wallet that cent.co creates for its users. You need to be subscribed to my cent.co feed (with an email) to collect them. After you collect them, you can send them to any ERC-20 wallet (e.g. if you want to get them onto your Opensea profile).
Whenever a chapter's final part is posted on Hive, soon after I'll release its corresponding Regular Edition NFT Bookmark on Cent. All subscribers will get an email and a chance to collect it for free.
I've not yet determined if I'll put a print limit on them. My plan is always to offer at least as many as I have subscribers on Cent.
At the time of writing, I've already posted up three full chapters, so the first three will come out in fairly quick succession until I catch up to the serialization.
I use a combination of the editing tools GIMP and Canva for most of the design. The 'bloodlight pyre' artwork was originally illustrated by my good friend jmz_creative.
The 'hero' art at the top of each NFT Bookmark was developed with the help of the AI art generator Dream by Wombo. I sketch a significant object from the chapter, add word prompts to the generator, pick a skin, and shuffle the generative art until I arrive at something that I like.
Thank you for checking out this project. If I missed anything important or if things change I'll update this post (as each NFT will also link here!). I own the license for all images in this post. Cheers and happy reading!
