Cat Is Out Of The Bag! My Second Crypto Painting. Commission for Halo Coin. STEP BY STEP PROCESS

in #art7 years ago

Second crypto painting I did and definitely not the last one. This one was a bit of a struggle, but it paid back in the end.

So this is my second painting that CEO of https://www.haloplatform.tech/ (Halo Coin) Scott Morrison commissioned me to do. For those who missed the ICO of this hot upcoming project (sold out) stay tuned. From what I hear from Scott Halo is launching at the end of January and many of my experienced crypto friends are:

  • heavily invested in it
  • very optimistic about it
  • patiently waiting for the launch

From my side, I was so damn busy painting the last two paintings that I had not much time left pondering about markets. Of course the yesterday's/today's crash did not skip my attention and I did quite a few shopping trips on many different exchanges. I namely loaded up the truck on VEN, NLG, EOS and STEEM. Yes this is my first buy of STEEM and I will be buying more, especially after reading these two awesome articles of @lukestokes and @kevinwong :

I'm buying more VEN as we speak, cause my thinking is very much in line with Randy @hilarski on this one:

When I said that this one was bit of a struggle to deliver, this is what I meant. I had the idea of a bull right off the bat and started painting it.

This is how it looked after couple hours, first layer done

Sedond layer was still going well...

...
but then I felt stalled and my inspiration flow pretty much stopped, so I dedicated myself to the creation of the Halo Lion, which you saw in my previous Halo blog.

When I was done with the Lion, sitting on the floor looking at it, it finally struck me.

out of nowhere as usually...

I suddenly knew...

THAT THE HALO BULL NEEDED AN ASTRONAUT TO RIDE IT!!!

Rest was piece of cake. Well, not really, it still cost me days and days of long paintings sessions to break through to the final version.

..but really it was the jumping whale and the rocket taking off that sealed the deal!

After these symbolic elements were put in place it was indeed a ride on a bull. Bumpy but fast as fuck :D

Isn't this all that we want in crypto world? Become a whale as we ride our favorite crypto picks to the moon? As far as it's used for higher good, I am ALL IN!

I sent the picture to Scott yesterday and he was over the moon. Especially about the small Halo details that you might have not noticed on the big image. Check it out:

Halo style baby!

Ready for the Halo spaceship take off?:)

Yesterday I was blessed by the visit of Peter Spina, CEO of Goldseek and Silverseek and a very active crypto trader, in my studio, and he was mesmerized by the Halo paintings and immediately ordered a commissioned painting for himself :)

This is how both Halo paintings look together!

Peter is on the right, had a great time hanging out with this market genius!

I hope you guys enjoyed the creation process of this special piece. I am off to the art store to buy a large canvas and start Peter's painting today. No time to waste!

I also hope you will read the articles which I mentioned in my post, they are all great sources of valuable information from very experienced market analysts and traders!

Copy paste comment? I love those....not really. This is a painting man, no "snapping here"

Colour saturation is very well laid out. The bull and the dolphin jumping really gives a retro feel to it..........very well painted!!!!!

Thanks. Have you ever seen a dolphin with white bottom and black top? It's obviously a killer whale, AKA an orca :D

how did you get a commission from them? that's awesome, props!

Same as most of other commissions: they saw my art on social media and fell in love with it. I consider myself lucky :)

Lol, your posts and your art rocks! It really is a crazy-awesome world we live in with all the new possibilities of crypto :) Can't wait to see your next commission!

Great painting man!. Putting majestic animals into outerspace really makes a painting somewhat mysterious. Not to mention the hidden words and the triangles haha. Great job.

Your work is incredible. Well done and bright fun colors.

I am going to be running a curated art project and think it would be great to get you involved as a featured artist of the week coming up. We're filling up quickly so please come take a look!
