My first 3 NFT at Rarible.com/gunn4r
The Crypto news is full of Stories of artists selling NFT's. Even common and traditional news write about this new way of handling digital art. I wanted to find out what it means and how it works. Here it is: My Profile at Rarible
My conclusion after one day in the space. I did not sell anything (that I did not expect) but I do know at least how it works. I managed to upload and register on the chain 3 digital art pieces. Along the way, I made some mistakes, and the way I entered the items I forgot to actually link the high resolution *.tiffs. But I guess if someone purchases it, I hope I can attach a link then.
Does anyone know how to edit the entries? I could really use that help.
Anyhow, the profile is created and there are 3 Light-Art-pieces up that I really like and that is worth being out there. The entire adventure cost me approximately 100€ in gas fees. That is f-ing insane. For a 'simple' experiment it feels much more like a very expensive lottery ticket. Are there other ways? Does anyone know a better way?
On top of that, the strange feeling remains: if no one sees or values your work then this will not pay off. There is so much good artwork out there it's hard to stand out. It will always remain taste and that is in the eye of the beholder.
What's the price tag of your artwork?
How do you determine a price tag that suits you and the art piece? It's a super complex question that involves one's reputation and the work and materials and equipment that were used to create the artwork. Well for me it's super hard to calculate that at this point?
What I know is: There is no pressure to sell tomorrow or next week. Yet I had to put a number on my art. When it's hard to calculate I made it a number I like.
I choose π = 
What happens afterward I think lays not in my hands. I would love it to change hands a few times and see if people are actually like what I create. That would be amazing to see and reward my efforts in the pursuit of my passion.
The profile is up and if this experiment works I will put more energy into that venture. More art to propose to the world. What's your experience?
I hope it was informative and maybe also inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.
