Title: [GIVEAWAY] Giving Away 3 Original Crypto-Themed Digital Portraits
Post by: santapants on December 21, 2017, 08:55:06 PM
Hey guys! My husband and I are digital artists, we do surrealistic pieces (think of that picture of the guy in the bowler hat with an apple by René Magritte... just more detailed...)

We've done a lot of privately commissioned pieces and are primarily known for our movie poster artwork (we did the poster art that set off the whole incident with the drag queens and dragons confusion at that drive-in theater in Alabama...  you can see the poster and the story here on TMZ. (http://www.tmz.com/2017/03/09/alabama-movie-theater-gay-drag-queen-ban/)

Here's a video breakdown so you can see how we created another one of our pieces here... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=timim7B43H8)

And here's some weirder pieces I did  featuring Bill Murray as a variety of different birds here... (http://awesomejelly.com/bill-murray-birds-photo-series/)

Anyway, we want to offer crypto-themed digital portraits - think of those old oil portraits, but if you dunked them in lsd and sprinkled them in hints of the subjects' favorite things and gave a nod to their favorite cryptocurrency in the composition.  This is, obviously, pretty hard to sell without a visual example. So we've got to do a few first so that we've got something to show off.

So, we decided to give away 3 digital portraits - one portrait each to the first three people that can provide a decent digital photo of themselves (must be at least 1200 px wide) and name their favorite cryptocurrency along with a list of 3 favorite things (for example: " Bitcoin is my favorite cryptocurrency, and I love football, jazz and fishing..." )

You'll receive the final digital file (and a link to a youtube video with a layer breakdown so that you can see how it was created) and you can print it on anything (we do everything super high res so that you can print it huge) and you'll be free to use it however you like. We just reserve the right to share it as an example.

Anyway, post your image or a link to it in the comments along with your cryptocurrency of choice and a list of 3 of your favorite things (No hate or adult requests will be accepted, not our cup of tea;) ) We'll post the final artwork in this thread along with sending a larger print file directly to you.

Happy Holidays!

Erin

EDIT: We've got two done so far and have one more portrait up for grabs! Here are the portraits we've just finished:

The noble hound, immortalized in portrait form... (https://wewearcrypto.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/custom-doge-altcoin-art-anthropomorphic-pet-portrait-german-shepherd-in-smoking-jacket-by-erin-cheyne-hamilton-and-alijah-villian-hamilton.jpg)

And here's the bionic seahawks man... (https://wewearcrypto.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/custom-bitcoin-crypto-neo-overwatch-concept-art-nfl-seahawks-bionic-character-portrait-by-erin-cheyne-hamilton-and-alijah-villian-hamilton.jpg)

EDIT #2: We've found our third person, so stay tuned to see the third portrait! If you missed out and still want a portrait, I am accepting all reasonable offers for commissions.

Hey your links were coded wrong you might want to fix that.  Does it have to be a picture of ourselves?  Picture of my dog maybe?

Whoops, thanks for the heads up - fixed!

lol, I was originally picturing only people, but l do love canines, so sure, I'll do a dog portrait:) Only one dog out of the three though because I do need humans too, so first person to post a dog pic will be the only animal portrait freebie:)

Yes, but to be clear, the final artwork will be posted publicly - I'd be glad to keep your username anonymous though so that the internet still doesn't know who you are:)
