Excellent job you are doing, congratulations.
Answering your question, it is already difficult to answer +10 years later. But, I have the idea of having read some news or article about the creation of bitcoin. That was in 2011, but although I found the idea interesting, I didn't get involved.
Later, about 2 years later, I read an article about Bitcoin again, but this time I decided to explore the topic more, and of course reliable information was only here on the forum.

Thanks!
Was is a online or off-line article?

It was an online article in some blog or online newspaper. I don't remember where it went. Someone wrote about Bitcoin and it gradually caught my attention.

[1Dq]

Today I'm here with a couple of wip details on the developing artwork.


VISUAL UPDATE #11



View on the developing BTC from below...




...that just got overpainted a bunch of times so the surface will be smoother for the gold.



Do you like having the "Off topic" board scattered among a group of bots like that?   


Since there was the question of detail, I wanted to make a demo of what we should work for us.









Well, that's all for now, but expect another visual update soon!

Have a nice day everyone.

[1Dq]

Today, I'm dropping the current state of the artwork and one pretty important question.

Disclaimer:
Sorry for the bad quality of most of these photos.
I have ok lighting for actual painting, but because of water and medium I use, the surface is very reflective.
This means I need to use dim scattered lighting in order to get somewhat decent shots, but they are far from perfect.


VISUAL UPDATE #12


Everything is being upgraded and some details have already popped up.




From here on I'm going all in on forming shapes and details.

I still accept private suggestions for Easter egg details!


I got sent a good suggestion about the OG list on the top-right part of the canvas.
Instead of using any one particular list (like top posts, top merited, top ...), I'd rather have a good old democratic vote to decide the top X.
So today's question is:

WHO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT /ORIGINAL GANGSTER/POPULAR BTCTALK MEMBERS?
Satoshi Nakamoto, Sirius and Theymos are already present, but you can still list them.

I'll be back in a few days with another update and will keep track on your answers!

Cheers!

What's YOUR TOP X most important /most OG/ most popular BTCtalk member list?
It can be completely subjective based on your own personal value system.

I'll be back in a few days with another update and will keep track on your answers!

Cheers!

Wow this art work is beautiful, you have a great sense of creativity, I love your works, however in this art work that place that shines so bright has something written on it but is not showing very well which is the B representing Bitcoin, so I think you should make the B to show very clear so even people don't don't see clearly can see it and notice what is written there is B.
And I also think there should be a symbol of Bitcoin on this great art work in other to represent what the art is all about.

what you're referring to as the shiny bright B is what's used to depict Bitcoin sign and based on what he might be trying to achieve, everything should fit in well when other element are incorporated completely in the design. From the last virtual update that was posted prior to the actual painting, the element around the Bitcoin sign which includes the 15, different boards, Bitcoin core and 2024 and the flags of the different countries in the forum. I believe after all those details comes in, things will get a fantastic shape.

With regards to your question on the most important OG and most important Bitcointalk member list, I'm not sure I understand it well but I hope others have an answer to them.

[1Dq]

This time I can show you the first finished details!


VISUAL UPDATE #13


Local and Mining parts of the rising tower are both near finished.





In the upcoming weeks I'm working on shapes and details.
Hopefully the canvas will be finished around the middle of October.
You can freely comment and suggest improvements and I'll take them into account.

Thank you.
I need to rephrase the question, now that I read it again it is slightly confusing:


WHO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT /ORIGINAL GANGSTER/POPULAR BTCTALK MEMBERS?
Satoshi Nakamoto, Sirius and Theymos are already present, but you can still list them.

[joker_josue]

This time I can show you the first finished details!


VISUAL UPDATE #13

It's looking magnificent, many congratulations.


You still finish painting the painting, before I do the analysis - which I promised - of the digital work. 
I'll try to do it by the end of this week, beginning of next week.

Today, I'm dropping the current state of the artwork

I never seriously checked the work yet, hopefully I will read a lot from this topic soon. But whatever you are doing so far seems interesting and obviously you are giving a lot of efforts to it. Just dropped some merits to inspire you. Good luck.

[SuperBitMan]

It will be nice if you create an art work and then insert the name's of those people that are working very hard in making this forum a great one, then you will be reviewing it weekly or monthly by adding more names of those people that are beginning to work hard to make the forum create in one way or The other, I think it will encourage members of the forum to make an impact in this forum.
Everyone will imagine his or her name being in your great art work some person's will save it and it will be a great memory for him or her.
I think you should consider this idea it will be a great push for this forum.

VISUAL UPDATE #14


Working on the left side with its shady business.




Closeup on painting initial details.




My sketch of the fonts for the board titles in the empty panels.
These will probably be improvised slightly and might also vary from title to title.





In the upcoming days/weeks I'm continuing work on shapes and details.
Hopefully the canvas will be finished around the middle of October.

You can freely comment and suggest improvements and I'll take them into account.

I will continue accepting private suggestions for Easter egg details!

For now I'd like more answers on:

WHO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT /ORIGINAL GANGSTER/POPULAR BTCTALK MEMBERS?

I'll be back with the next update in a couple of days.

That's a nice idea, but hard to implement without a good updating system on a digital platform.
I'd paint it in digitally or even on canvas if someone sponsors it haha.

There was one idea me and my friends had years back and we laughed over it months later one of my friend took much interest in that idea and convinced me on joining hands with him to make that idea a reality and that was how we made it a reality and we made history in my town.
You are so talented and a lot of people in this forum love's your art work even the top members in this forum and I believe some of them have not visited this thread to see the this wonderful art's you are creating if they do they will surely support that's one thing I believe all we have to do is make your work know in this forum.
When your art work is all over this forum some companies or campaign managers will sponsor  .
I believe in your creativity so much.
Art to the world 🌎.

The Bitcoin Metaverse Art by 1Dq Link Artist description: This board has not gotten enough credit for all it has contributed, developed, researched, educated and otherwise done for everybody it connects. I propose to make a visual representation of everything it means to us in the form of a big, detailed painting. It will serve as a monument in this time and can help people identify, glorify, connect and celebrate this place we are all co-creating every day. My Analysis: The artist wanted to work with this to transform the BitcoinTalk forum into a parallel and real world. What would this forum be like if it were a physical space somewhere in the Universe? This is what the artist wants the observer to imagine when they contemplate this work. He seeks to capture every moment of the day to day life of this forum. A busy society, with a lot of things happening at the same time, but all around one thing, Bitcoin. This is represented by the big B (the Bitcoin logo) in the center of the work, which seeks to use a bright color - orange, in contrast to the predominant color throughout the painting, dark blue. From this big B come lines of light blue, which we see originate from the character in the bottom right corner, Satoshi. Satoshi Nakamoto - the creator of Bitcoin - is the energy source of this entire parallel world. As we can see in the painting, through the lines that connect all the elements of the artistic work. We were able to observe that both the figures representing the various users of this forum, as well as the buildings, squares and stores in this world, need this energy to survive. The entire artistic composition is constructed in a way that takes us to the center of the work. The big B is the center of everything. Place where the artist uses a warm tone (orange) and a cold tone (light blue) to bring the viewer here. But this centralization of attention does not unbalance the composition. In the surrounding part, elements and colors are used, which force the viewer to also pay respective attention. Every time we look at each of the elements present in this work, our gaze ends up being directed back to the center. Despite this, we were able to feel total balance and harmony in the painting. On the left side, warmer color tones are used. On the right side, cooler color tones are used. This navigation between these color tones, with the strong light that comes from the middle of the composition, makes the work well balanced. Despite being a composition with many details, this balance between the colors used, as well as indirectly forcing the viewer to look at the center of the work, makes it light and not tiring. The viewer is always left with the expectation of looking for more details that will take them back to the big B. With all the details that the artist wanted to include in his work, all BitcoinTalk viewers will certainly feel represented in some way. Those who are not from this forum will feel the invitation that the artist makes, to be able to observe this entire universe from an external perspective. Yes, gateway, because the artist has the beautiful ability to put us at the gateway to Bitcoin. Note from the author of the analysis: I am neither an artist nor an art critic. But I studied art and I have always been an art fan, and I have been very involved in the artistic field. You can find out more about me here (text in Portuguese). My English is not the best, so if any of this analysis is not clear, I will be interested in clarifying.

I love this, you have done a great job, I love people like you because you think in a creative way, art is one thing that can tell a lot with just one work, Bitcoin has gotten to a point were it needs a beautiful art work like this in other to represent it very well, with this kind of art work all you need is a little explanation to a newbie because only seeing the art work he knows that Bitcoin has already spread in many countries and a lot of people are already investing on it and taking it seriously, he or she will know that Bitcoin has been here for some years now, seeing the art work will make him or her know that Bitcoin will even be more great in the future and will grow so high in price in a way people will stand and imagine, after viewing the art work he or she will know that investing on Bitcoin is the best option and that is why art work is more better because it explains more to people that writing.

[1Dq]

Thank you for this amazing analysis joker_josue!

It will help a lot interpreting my artwork and thus helping people understand this forum.

Your final analysis should be exposed next to the artwork as the official key to help unlock it! 

Cheers!

I think you forget to mention "lovesmayfamilis" in your list, that's also one of the notable members in the forum that has and still contributing to the growth of the community in his/her own special way. This user's notable contributions can't go unnoticed, so should be included in the above list, or wouldn't you agree with me?

I have no questions or requests today.

Which means you can just comment anything you want!

Cheers!

For me, it's very good! I'm looking forward to the real painting. 

I've been literally staring at the painting for as long as I can remember, it's indeed a magnificent work of art, and the fact that it's not even the real painting but yet looks like a masterpiece is just something else. I must commend the OP for an amazing work, because the painting is like nothing I've ever seen, I'm also really looking forward to the real painting.

[1Dq]

This is where we are before the home stretch.

VISUAL UPDATE #15


This is the complete canvas where everything is prepared for detailed finalizing.




And here's close-ups to its parts:

There's too much detail to mention here so I'll just focus on the most obvious.
Everything else has already been mentioned in previous posts.

Middle area:
A mass of bots doing everything from entering the world, talking, competing, spamming, moving around and lots more...
Above them is the Local area on left and Mining on right and big BTC with "15" above all.



Top left:
Dark character lurk here, figuring out their shady business, hacking, dealing stuff, stealing...



Top right:
This is mostly empty panel awaiting the artwork's codes and OG list



Bottom left:
Scrapyard of trash being removed in the corner, with Collectibles area offering BTC artifacts exposed on top.



Bottom right:
Satoshi, Sirius and Theymos operating and powering-up everything as small bots try to peek on their work.




Here we are, well into project's crucial PHASE #3, where the artwork is being created (almost) before your eyes! 

I'm happy to report that everything is still going as planned.
This makes me super happy, proud and thankful for all your generous help and participation!

I've been painting 2-5 hours per day to achieve this and will continue for the next couple of weeks.
Now we are doing the last steps needed for completion of this epic canvas!

Here's the timeline, that should work for us:

October
3.10. - This post
10-15 Final comments
15-20 Canvas finalization
20-24 Scanning the canvas
25-29 Print preparing and making test samples
30-31 Print photographing and post prep
November
1-3 New post with canvas and prints presentation and announcement of auctions
3-10 Auctions (or just selling) prints and canvas
10-15 sending packages
22 Celebration, members have prints and OG artwork at home.
 
In the next 2-3 weeks I'll be happy to receive you last comments and suggestions.
There's a lot of room left for small Easter eggs I can paint in!

The photos are still not very good, but I believe most of the motif is already obvious.
In case you aren't sure about anything feel free to ask!

One thing I'd like to state is that my style here is starting in the dark and moving towards light.
This means the further I paint, the lighter the painting will become.
It also kind of reminds me of Bitcoin's life - the longer it is around, the lighter we feel, right? 

Oh and the Big BTC in the middle is now facing a bit more towards us.
This way it will be even more recognizable at first glance!
It is also deliberately not completely full and seems like it's still constructing.
Also, the local area flags will have less radiant colors, when I put them into perspective.

Otherwise all titles, logos and symbols will start appearing with each visual update.
I'll continue updating you and try to do the best photos with the circumstances I have.


Will be back soon!

Cheers!

Wow painting for 2 to 5 hours a day shows how how much dedicated you are in art and your dedication was indeed worthy of the results we are seeing, all this painting are beautiful and very educating looking at it alone telling you about Bitcoin and how is going however I think you should include the number of years Bitcoin has been in existence in this beautiful art work it will help in knowing more about Bitcoin history as the number of  years Bitcoin has been in existence is part of Bitcoin history.

The timeline you provided is very much okay and I'm happy about how you follow it and yes you are very much correct when you said and I quote "the further I paint, the lighter the painting will become"
Things gets more better when we do it over and over again.
Your art work has already made a big impact to this forum and Bitcoin keep it up.
