Welcome everyone (either HIVE users or those who visited here because of the link I shared on Social Media). The thing I'm discussing this time is quite different from what I usually share here, namely regarding my decision to become an NFT Creator.

For links to my social media or past collections of Artwork, you can view them via my Profile or via This link. (There is also a link to my collection on OpenSea)

A. Reason

The first reason is that I want to sell the Final Result of the Artwork that I've been making. Because since I published a post about my Artwork here, I only sell the process. How do I create Artwork from start to finish, and it only lasts until a week after the post is published.

And what about the final result of the artwork? If the artwork enters the contest and wins, it will get Additional Prize. And for those who are less fortunate, (as I mentioned earlier) you can still get rewards from publishing the process.

I never said it was bad, I really appreciate it. Because it will motivate beginners (like me) who are not confident with their work to be more enthusiastic in working because they know that their efforts get appreciation.

The second reason is because I accidentally created too many versions of my previous Artwork (not like BAYC, CryptoPunks, and others that have various attributes , but just a mix of some Filters and pieces of Artwork). And all the results of that Variations fill the memory capacity of my Smartphone (I always draw on my Smartphone by relying on IbisPaintX and my fingers)

Instead of just filling up my Smartphone memory, it would be better if I sell/offer it on NFT Marketplace like OpenSea. Why choose OpenSea? Because OpenSea is the largest NFT Marketplace and there is a free Minting option through the Polygon network.

And Third Reason (which is actually the main reason) is that I need additional income. Selling my artwork as an NFT is also a backup plan in case I'm rarely active or run out of ideas for posts.

But even if I can still make frequent posts, then the income from NFT sales will be used for...... (see more in "A. NFT Sales Proceeds will be used for...")

About Kibou Project

_(Past)

Kibou Project (how many years has it been since I said that for the first time) was originally a fantasy that I uttered when I started to be active in drawing a few years ago. Kibou Project, as the name implies (Kibou; "Hope" in Japanese) is a project that is expected by the creator (Me) to be successful or at least sound its name among Anime and Manga lovers (it is my past fantasy)

The plan that Kibou Project wants to carry out is to make Manga and Anime from my imaginary character Vrezion who has the power of 9Elements independently.

But as time went on, I became more and more fond of drawing female characters and instead became a Hentai / NSFW artist to get attention....

_(Present)

Kibou Project at present focuses on making NFTs on creating NFT on OpenSea (Polygon network) for now and has the initial goal of being an additional income for the Creator (me) but not forgetting to give a little benefit to buyers. If the Kibou Project goes well, then in the future there will be a possibility that I will add benefits to buyers and do Charity or Collaboration.

Kibou Project is a project created by 1 person (Me) and for now there will only be 1 person who manages this project. I didn't put a penny into this project, so don't expect too much to get the worth benefits.

Kibou Project is an Artwork from the creator and modified using a combination of several Filters available in the application. Coupled with cut and replace certain parts to create Artwork that looks interesting according to the creator.

Kibou Project will consist of several collections (but for now there is only UNCHOSEN). Minting NFT is done once every 1-4 weeks with different Artwork. The number of NFTs for each Artwork is different (most likely not more than 50 for now)

A. Proceeds from NFT Sales will be used to:

• Restored my lost Capital when I first entered Cryptocurrency (you can see the context here)

_{--------------------------- if the project goes well ---------------------------}

1. Upgrade The Device I used for drawing.​Like buying a Tablet for drawing and a new Smartphone (if suddenly I get an idea when I'm out of the house)

2. INVESTATION
   Some of the proceeds from the sale will be invested in several places.

   • HIVE Ecosystems

     • Stake #hive (HP), #oneup, #spt, and other tokens to support content creators in the HIVE Ecosystem
     • Become a Liquidity Provider
     • Invest in some games in the HIVE Ecosystem (such as @splinterlands and @risingstargame)
     • GIVEAWAYS
       
       

   • DeFi that has a small or low risk

     • PancakeSwap (BSC)
     • QuickSwap (Polygon)
     • Maybe you guys have other ideas about low risk DeFi.
       
       

   • using Copy Trade available at Bityard

   • NFT Games on another Blockchain (But I need more supported Devices to be able to play the Game)

3. Charity and Exclusive GIVEAWAYS/AIRDROPS (Possibility of taking some income from INVESTMENT)

B. Regarding Prices & Procedures for Making Offers

You may be surprised when you see the base price of my NFT which is 7,777 ETH. But that price is only the maximum price for my NFT, because I don't know the exact price for each of my artworks (and even all other artworks).

You can still make an offer by following the procedure as follows:

1. select "Make Offer" next to "Buy Now" (if it's not there, please let me know)

2. Write down the bid price as desired.

3. Offer expiry date is at least 7 days.

4. Waiting Time (to be able to get NFT) is 6 days or until the selling time is almost up (21 days from Listing).

5. If there is no other person to make an offer (with a higher price) until the previous person's waiting time is almost up, then the NFT will be given to the person who made the offer.

   • However, if someone else make a higher bid while the waiting time hasn't expired, the waiting time will increase by 6 days.
     
     

6. If the sale time runs out (21 days) and no one makes an offer, the price will be changed to 0.005 ETH (buyer will also not get CashBack and other benefits)

C. Buyer's Benefits

• Cashback

  • First Buyer (buy NFT directly from me via OpenSea) Will get Cashback of :

    • 10%, if sold at 0.005 ~ 0.099 ETH
    • 25%, if sold at 0.1 ~ 1 ETH
    • 50%, if sold at > 1 ETH
      
      

  • Second Buyer; Buyers who buy NFT from First buyer (NOT buy NFT directly from me) Will get Cashback 50% of the amount of Royalty I received (I put up a Royalty fee of 10%)

If you're not interested in this project (just want to buy it), I'll only take 0.003 ETH (from the price you offered). And the rest, I give it back to you.
You can contact me via DM on Twitter by adding the "thing" I left in the UNLOCKABLE CONTENT as a sign that you are the owner of the NFT.

_{--------------------------- if the project goes well ---------------------------}

1. NFT DAO
   For the holders of my NFT, you have the opportunity to help me decide what to do next for this project.

   • If it turns out that your idea goes well, there will be small prizes (Airdrops) taken from some of the profits.

2. Exclusive Giveaways / Airdrops

3. you can submit your ideas via NFT DAO (if the project goes well and is successful)

D. Things I Want To Do Through This Project (You can call them RoadMaps)

1. Posting off my Artwork as NFT and selling it on the NFT Marketplace (which I'm currently doing)

2. Create a Discord Server (for now it is not available and have to wait whether this project is successful or not)

3. Improve skills in drawing, so that my Artwork is not only limited to a combination of several Filters

   • create characters with various expressions and facial accessories (Like BoredApes, CryptoPunks and others)
   • make various poses and costumes
   • And many more.....
     
     

4. Puzzle NFT
   Is an Artwork that is divided into several parts (like a puzzle), then the Puzzle is converted into NFT (sold separately). If the owner of all the puzzles is the same person, then there will be a surprise (the reward currently in mind is 50% of the total sales of 1 set of Puzzle given to the new owner of the Puzzle)

5. Collaboration
   I don't feel confident that I can do the collaborations below

   • Local Artists
   • Digital Artists (unfamiliar / not focused on NFT)
   • Fellow NFT Creators (Whether the project is well known or not)
   • YouTuber / V-Tuber (if possible, I want to expose those that many people don't know yet)
   • Etc.

6. And maybe there will be many more, but it's still unthinkable right now.

Closing

That was the explanation of the Kibou Project along with my reasons for starting to become an NFT Creator. It sounds quite difficult at first glance, but I'm trying my best to make this Project a success.

The explanation above is not 100% complete, because there may be things that I haven't had time to think about until this post is published. Or maybe there are additions from readers (be it suggestions or questions) through comments on this post or on Social Media.

If you have suggestions, questions, or want to criticize (with the intention of justifying what's wrong with this post). You can write it in the comments of this post or on the social media account of the owner of this post (which is available at the beginning of the post)

And thank you for taking the time to read my post (which looks sloppy). See you in my next post.
