This is what I have in mind although the bitcoin logo is in a square shape instead of a circle.


It is not bad but the color that is used makes the logo not very clear.


This would have been right but for me, it lacks the glow like on the first image although the bitcoin logo is what I have in mind.


These look fun, though it would make it the only fantasy element in a science fiction universe.
Let's see if anything else fantastic crops up and it becomes a thing!

Yes that blade runner vibe is exactly what I would want to see.

  And place twats like Yogg and scammers behind bars in a booth

I  am a newbie but the graphical representation will give me a clearer understanding of the forum's exciting features. I like your suggestion of Scammers behind bars, it gives the impression that the wrong people in digital space don't go unpunished it is not just peculiar to the forum. Sometimes a book requires graphics to entice a reader and I am glad @ 1Dq Artwork project will bring that uniqueness and insights of Pictorial representation as well.

I'm glad to hear this artwork will also help, not just entertain members!

1.) How to visualize a spammer?

something like a disorganized puzzle that when rearrange or looked from an angle spells the word spam while maybe, few names of some well known bitcointalk spammers could be written faintly underneath the area where the spam is to be represented.
2.) How to visualize merit?
a golden coin in form of a medal with a +1 inscribed on the top would go well to describe it. And if you have any intention of representing any sort of user rank in the art, multiple stars on the centre of the coin could be used for highly ranked users while +1 wil be for newbies to full members.

3.) Who to paint as main character in the front right (if anyone)?
Satoshi could be painted holding the Bitcoin whitpaper and reading the [newspaper where BTC was first mentioned and other important collectibles could be placed on a book shelf by him and the names of those collections and possibly dates written on each of them while a representation of thymos and merit source drawn close to each having Big eyesand jointly watching over the forum.

1.) The puzzle that reads "spam" from an angle (which we can see) sounds like a fun idea, I'll try to implement it somehow!
Not sure if any naming spammers is worth it, it might seem like a victory to have made it into a painting...

2.) That's another new idea for Merit!

3.) I could try placing the article somewhere around Satoshi if space and context allow it in the end!
And Theymos to join Satoshi too.

Cool idea! I love it. Some ideas, I don't know if they are helpful, but it means something to different parts of the forum.

Red flags: How users sometimes fight mini wars between themselves using trust system. Someone planting a red flag onto someone who's planting a red flag on someone else? Gang turf war?

Charities: I've always loved how this forum has helped charitable causes. (food banks or covid help I recall, even donations during sickness). Maybe just a QR code as a grafitti for these guys?

Other creators (not just collectibles): We've got logo makers, event organisers, the guys behind talkimg. Maybe a street seller selling image wares or as someone mentioned BSFL logos? The gambling section is one hugely underrated Bitcoin-transacting group!

The long-running circular economy of BTT -- signature campaigners, I still remember the biggest one, who used to buy the biggest ad spaces. And then hastily removing them for others. Maybe a tattoo artist erasing THAT logo from someone's arm?

It's about time I provided some visual material to help boost our brainstorming morale.


VISUAL UPDATE #1


My fellow robots and cyborgs, this is where we begin:




**All points below are open for discussion so you can freely comment on anything! **

* Using the original artwork, I reconfigured the composition to give us a bit more space for extra forum's content.

* The huge Bitcoin tower in the background stands for the forum's mass and value.  
   It now has the big symbolic BTC powered with light energy that runs through its entire height.
   This energy represents the Bitcoin core (blockchain) and I'd use the hue of that energy to power everything else going on.
   Top of the tower is crowned with lightning bolts, representing the electricity needed for Bitcoin's functioning.
   Below the BTC is a vertical text "15 years", for our anniversary celebration.


This artwork of yours is really admirable, containing all kinds of content. Bitcoin Tower really matches the content of the forum, and the Bitcoin logo is more attractive. Looking at it will surely impress any person and make you go further with your art preferences.

I was particularly intrigued by each image, which featured the Bitcoin logo.

VISUAL UPDATE #3

I played around with designing our bots.


First are the newbies.
Very basic in form as they have yet to become full members and to show what they're worth.
They might already try though...



Then there are two big ones.
On the left is a legendary character (could be "whale") with barrels of merit and bitcoin with which to do what he pleases.
On the right is a admin/moderator character doing important work (notice the energized axe)



Finally are four designs for Satoshi himself.
Very different from others, more futuristic, better shaped and he seems like the main character.
On the third from left I deliberately made him look like a wizard, trying to tie some strings together...




Which one is your favorite?

The whole scene is hidden between these three artwork images, I really like the third image the best. 
The first artwork that bots have is interesting, which is a bot that is important to every person. 
But it would look good and attractive if they included the Bitcoin logo.

I liked all the newbies. They can spread them around the scene.

The role of moderator seems fine to me. But, the legendary character seems a little strange. I don't think these "barries" look that good. He seems more like a bossy fat man who is more of a villain than a respected character. I think the legendary character should seem more like a warrior hero, someone everyone admires.

In the case of the character Satoshi, the 3rd figure seems very interesting and the most appropriate. I would just change the bat... I don't know how, but I think it could be a little different.

All the concepts are magnificent. However, there can be improvement on the personality you would want to refer Satoshi to. Since you already started using robots or cyborgs why not refer Satoshi whose facial expression is not afraid to break rules and his holding a mother box in his hands having a Bitcoin logo on it which signifies his creation of Bitcoin.





Note: this is not my artwork, it was gotten online just to show my point.

All the rest are okay. Am only suggesting in the place of Satoshi. The mystic wizard does not show much hierarchy in the world of robotics.

for satoshi why not have have a shadowy figure off to the side with an architectural drawing board with the BTC tower taking shape on it. as in satoshi the designer/architect.  maybe theymos kinda looking on and tweaking something that looks like the basic bitcointalk.org forum layout on something. simplified of course to keep that style you have going.

since technically its math that solves the blocks maybe have some super vaguely "numberery" kinda robot that verifies the blocks as it goes and throws the orphaned blocks off to the side or something while organizing the good ones into the blockchain.

Hello, in my opinion the work so far is very good. However, there will be many things to be added, there are several tabs, several representations of members, ratings, tabs, spammers, satoshi etc. etc. There are many things, and for me the image view is too closed for something that will need many elements. For me, the ideal would be to have a "top-down" view like the "where's wally?" drawing for example. I think that way we will be able to add more elements and show much more things.

The first artwork that bots have is interesting, which is a bot that is important to every person. 
But it would look good and attractive if they included the Bitcoin logo.

I think one big BTC in the painting will suffice for the obvious symbolic reasons.
Putting more could be fun, but rather in a more comical context, like in the suggestion at the bottom of this post.


Which one is your favorite?

I liked all the newbies. They can spread them around the scene.

The role of moderator seems fine to me. But, the legendary character seems a little strange. I don't think these "barries" look that good.

In the case of the character Satoshi, the 3rd figure seems very interesting and the most appropriate. I would just change the bat... I don't know how, but I think it could be a little different.

In the case of the legendary character I visualized it how it might be perceived from the eyes of some lower status members, not as how they would be in reality.
The idea is debatable of course, as is most other things at this point so thank you for your comment!

As it's planned so far, Satoshi's face won't really be seen, except its side.
I'm not sure what kind of face or expression Satoshi would have, his thoughts feel deep and a bit mysterious so I'd rather keep it (mostly) hidden.


for satoshi why not have have a shadowy figure off to the side with an architectural drawing board with the BTC tower taking shape on it. as in satoshi the designer/architect.  maybe theymos kinda looking on and tweaking something that looks like the basic bitcointalk.org forum layout on something. simplified of course to keep that style you have going.

These ideas are very cool and also in line with what's already setup, great!

For me, the ideal would be to have a "top-down" view like the "where's wally?" drawing for example. I think that way we will be able to add more elements and show much more things.

This is an important point to address.
There is only so much space in this artwork and the concept can't extend too far from where we are.
We can still add many elements and modify them, but the overall composition has been verified by now and I believe should remain (close to) what it is.
And in this case it is a old fashioned painting about one the edgiest places on the planet Cool.

However, I'd be more than happy to talk about starting a new project after this one with a very different approach.
A "Where's Wally?" type or something similarly crazy, detail packed, humorous sounds like a lot of fun.
In it we could put a lot of fun details and, if it was digital, it could be upgradable/modified into different versions.

Let me know if there's interest for such a project and maybe we attack it after November's anniversary!

Exactly. I think the lower level members look at the Legendaries, not as someone superior, but as "heroes".
At least that's how "I saw it", before I was one of them.  Cheesy

I am very interested in a project like this, and I will be here to help if I can! But if you want to continue with this image format, that would be great too. About Satoshi, I think a being with a blurred face would be cool, as if it were a glitch on his face.

Since you already started using robots or cyborgs why not refer Satoshi whose facial expression is not afraid to break rules and his holding a mother box in his hands having a Bitcoin logo on it which signifies his creation of Bitcoin.





A representation as this will tend to paint Satoshi as a frightening figure. Since Satoshi is the brain behind Bitcoin whose face and personality we can't really tell, it's best to put an image that represents him at the background of the art while Bitcoin sits at the centre of his heart. You can blure it such that you can't see him visibly but paint it such that  a portion of him touches on every part of the art.


What could be added to the design may be that somewhere close to the spot where newbies will be represented is  Bitcoin pizza 🍕. Since from your art on newbies, you've already design something that shows how uninformed and scattered some of them are, placing a pizza around them could also tell the story behind the whole Bitcoin pizza day celebration.

[...] Which one is your favorite?

There are many visualizations from Newbies, but only 1 suits me, the image below is my choice:



Look how cute it is, small body, round head & hands on the head which conveys complete confusion. Then for the second image sample, i don't like the depiction of the whale, no problem for the moderator, but the big robot with the whale logo is not very good in my opinion. Maybe it would be better if you could make a robot that looks like a whale & has a bitcoin logo.

We have whales in forum, we also have moderators, but do whales represent wisdom or intelligence? not at all, we should have other robot representations for the wise & the smart, look at how:

Bitmover makes Bitcoindata.science [1]
TryNinja makes Ninjastic [2] & Bitcointalk Notification Bot [3]
LoyceV makes Loyce.club [4]

Those above should have their own representation, right? it could be a robot with depictions of owls or other wise or smart entities, who tries to build Bitcointalk better over time.



For the representation of Satoshi i like the model above, it is very synonymous with a wizard, Satoshi is a wizard (we have to admit that) who does his magic in the finance field & how money should work these days.

1 Additional Thing
A few days ago you asked things about Bitcointalk such as how to visualize spammers & merit, are we forgetting "The Trust" here? it is part of the forum. If you also want to apply the idea to a trust system, i have an idea, you can make a depiction of it in the robot's eyes. A red-eyed robot is a robot that has more negative trust than neutral & positive, a yellow/black-eyed robot has more neutral trust, and a green-eyed robot has more positive trust.

And what about listing some OG names outside the collectibles like, theymos,
Welsh, mprep, philipma1957 and gmaxwell for example.

Also those who are not here and were very well renowned, Lauda, o_e_l_e_o and Zepher ...
I share same thoughts. Since we are celebrating Bitcointalk, I think this is an avenue to celebrate hardworking OGs who have kept forum alive today by mentioning listing their names. Big Thanks to them. I would suggest we also tap from the Bitcointalk Public Information Project and look at some of the most recognized members of this forum from the beginning. In selecting and celebrating the efforts of those hardworking members (present or absent), it will help us recollect the great memory and efforts marked by those and give us the morale and motivation to work hard and contribute immensely to the development of the forum.

For instance, you can crawl the BPIP and select top 2 names from each section of the lists/rankings in the homepage. We have four categories of lists/rankings, Most Merit, Most Activity, Most Trust and Most Recognized.
• Top 2 in Most Merit:
1. o_e_l_e_o ✅
2. LoyceV ✅

• Top 2 in Most Activity:
1. theymos ✅
2. OgNasty ✅

• Top 2 in Most Trusted:

All the concepts are magnificent. However, there can be improvement on the personality you would want to refer Satoshi to. Since you already started using robots or cyborgs why not refer Satoshi whose facial expression is not afraid to break rules and his holding a mother box in his hands having a Bitcoin logo on it which signifies his creation of Bitcoin.





A representation as this will tend to paint Satoshi as a frightening figure. Since Satoshi is the brain behind Bitcoin whose face and personality we can't really tell, it's best to put an image that represents him at the background of the art while Bitcoin sits at the centre of his heart. You can blure it such that you can't see him visibly but paint it such that  a portion of him touches on every part of the art.


What could be added to the design may be that somewhere close to the spot where newbies will be represented is  Bitcoin pizza 🍕. Since from your art on newbies, you've already designed something that shows how uninformed and scattered some of them are, placing a pizza around them could also tell the story behind the Bitcoin pizza day celebration.
Your opinions are good based on the fact that you would prefer Satoshi to be someone with a friendly facial personality but dont forget that we're trying to be futuristic here. The idea of using robotics is meant to show the future of technology. Satoshi made a technology that no one could mimic or do the same thing. Is it not worth frightening? However, I agree with the part about blurring his face as it relates to Satoshi's choice to remain anonymous.

When doing an artwork, it is important to show the key idea and personality. So that one looking at the artwork would understand and feel the artwork after some gaze. The bitcoin pizza day is a celebration day that shows the historical aspect of Bitcoin not futuristic aspect of Bitcoin. Robots dont eat pizza, so why choose pizza?

no

one can only fear the unknown. but btc is exactly the opposite, its mechanism is public and open to inspection. you know exactly how it functions.

perhaps visualize the btc block robot with open inspection hatches or clear panels or something to show its inner workings as open source.

Exactly. I think the lower level members look at the Legendaries, not as someone superior, but as "heroes".
At least that's how "I saw it", before I was one of them.  Cheesy

Interesting play on perspectives here, it's a fun task to imagine how different levels of members perceive each other and how to visualize that.


Hello, in my opinion the work so far is very good. However, there will be many things to be added, there are several tabs, several representations of members, ratings, tabs, spammers, satoshi etc. etc. There are many things, and for me the image view is too closed for something that will need many elements. For me, the ideal would be to have a "top-down" view like the "where's wally?" drawing for example. I think that way we will be able to add more elements and show much more things.
This is an important point to address.
There is only so much space in this artwork and the concept can't extend too far from where we are.
We can still add many elements and modify them, but the overall composition has been verified by now and I believe should remain (close to) what it is.
And in this case it is a old fashioned painting about one the edgiest places on the planet Cool.

However, I'd be more than happy to talk about starting a new project after this one with a very different approach.
A "Where's Wally?" type or something similarly crazy, detail packed, humorous sounds like a lot of fun.
In it we could put a lot of fun details and, if it was digital, it could be upgradable/modified into different versions.

Let me know if there's interest for such a project and maybe we attack it after November's anniversary!

I am very interested in a project like this, and I will be here to help if I can! But if you want to continue with this image format, that would be great too. About Satoshi, I think a being with a blurred face would be cool, as if it were a glitch on his face.


Great, I'll keep this project in mind (and my planner) and will contact you, when the time is right!  Cool
Glitch face Satoshi sounds very cool, but I'm afraid we probably won't see him from the front.
If we do however, I might paint him a bit cryptic!

I will try to do justice both to Satoshi and Pizza day, thank you both for your input!


[...] Which one is your favorite?

There are many visualizations from Newbies, but only 1 suits me, the image below is my choice:



Look how cute it is, small body, round head & hands on the head which conveys complete confusion. Then for the second image sample, i don't like the depiction of the whale, no problem for the moderator, but the big robot with the whale logo is not very good in my opinion. Maybe it would be better if you could make a robot that looks like a whale & has a bitcoin logo.

We have whales in forum, we also have moderators, but do whales represent wisdom or intelligence? not at all, we should have other robot representations for the wise & the smart, look at how:

Bitmover makes Bitcoindata.science [1]
TryNinja makes Ninjastic [2] & Bitcointalk Notification Bot [3]
LoyceV makes Loyce.club [4]

Those above should have their own representation, right? it could be a robot with depictions of owls or other wise or smart entities, who tries to build Bitcointalk better over time.



For the representation of Satoshi i like the model above, it is very synonymous with a wizard, Satoshi is a wizard (we have to admit that) who does his magic in the finance field & how money should work these days.

1 Additional Thing
A few days ago you asked things about Bitcointalk such as how to visualize spammers & merit, are we forgetting "The Trust" here? it is part of the forum. If you also want to apply the idea to a trust system, i have an idea, you can make a depiction of it in the robot's eyes. A red-eyed robot is a robot that has more negative trust than neutral & positive, a yellow/black-eyed robot has more neutral trust, and a green-eyed robot has more positive trust.

[2] https://ninjastic.space/
[3] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248878.0
[4] https://loyce.club/

Great, thanks for your ideas, wizartoshi seems surprisingly popular!  Grin
I love the green/red eyes for the trust system!
And also thank you for the four links - will check all of them out.



And what about listing some OG names outside the collectibles like, theymos,
Welsh, mprep, philipma1957 and gmaxwell for example.

Also those who are not here and were very well renowned, Lauda, o_e_l_e_o and Zepher ...
I share same thoughts. Since we are celebrating Bitcointalk, I think this is an avenue to celebrate hardworking OGs who have kept forum alive today by mentioning listing their names. Big Thanks to them. I would suggest we also tap from the Bitcointalk Public Information Project and look at some of the most recognized members of this forum from the beginning. In selecting and celebrating the efforts of those hardworking members (present or absent), it will help us recollect the great memory and efforts marked by those and give us the morale and motivation to work hard and contribute immensely to the development of the forum.

For instance, you can crawl the BPIP and select top 2 names from each section of the lists/rankings in the homepage. We have four categories of lists/rankings, Most Merit, Most Activity, Most Trust and Most Recognized.
• Top 2 in Most Merit:
1. o_e_l_e_o ✅
2. LoyceV ✅

• Top 2 in Most Activity:
1. theymos ✅
2. OgNasty ✅

• Top 2 in Most Trusted:
1. minerjones ✅
2. Hhampuz ✅

• Top 2.in Most Recognized:
1. theymos ✅
2. Philipma1957 ✅

A big shout out to these big names again and much appreciations to their immense contribution to this forum!

Certain names keep cropping up and we need to do them justice.
I'm open to any ideas, besides writing the actual nickname, on how to incorporate them so its obvious who is represented!

no

Can you please expand more on what you mean by "the block robot", as it sounds very interesting.


......


Otherwise, I'm super busy with a new visual update, that will hopefully already have many of your ideas integrated.

But to keep it fun, here's a couple of legendary character ideas for you...





...and a gif made from a couple of scene sketches.

I believe that if you are going to add people's names here on the forum, it would be interesting to ask them directly about how they would like to be represented. Or, create a sample drawing and ask them to improve something that represents each one. For example, a robot chosen by each user and in the image they would appear with their username above their head and below their username a medal for more merit, a handshake icon for trust, an eye for more recognition, something along those lines. But, the ideal, in my view, would be to have a robot or humanoid according to their choice.

Edit:

I made this example of more or less what the idea I told you would be like.
