LUV turns one year old

in #hive3 years ago

Hard to believe, but our little LUV turns one year old on February 16, 2022.

Time for a little competition for fun.

Click to see the NFT in action.

I've made a commemorative NFT to celebrate year one. There are three NFTs...mint numbers 2 and 3 will be given away, mint #1 will be sold.

Two ways to enter to win the NFTs

Here's how you can enter to win either mint 2 or 3:

  • comment here...you'll get one entry
  • make some type of 8-bit art and comment here with your art or link to it...you'll get two entries
  • don't worry if your art is "not good", if you make it, it's good enough, just do it!

The art can be on anything, it doesn't have to be love or LUV-based (family friendly). Maybe...a bird? A planet? An insect? A lemon? Your funkiest pair of socks? A banana slug? A quohog? (Look it up.) Anything! That's what makes it fun!

Winners will be chosen randomly. It's too hard to judge one person's art over another person's art, so, winners will be randomly chosen. I'll likely go with https://wheelofnames.com to pick winners. Maybe I'll use the Bitcoin hash (which I've used before). we'll see how it goes.

Why 8-bit art?

  1. I like art and drawing and such. But mostly, because it's fun.
  2. Anyone can make "art" like this.
  3. It's a tip-of-the-cap to LUV's little sister Hivebits (HBIT). (H-BIT, 8-bit, get it?)

But, I can't draw

Yes, you can. Like singing, we can all do it, only to different degrees of quality. Just because I can't sing like Vicente Fernández doesn't mean that I can't sing.

But, I can't draw well

Doesn't matter.

  1. 8-bit art is very, very forgiving.
  2. Even the simplest, most minimalist and basic 8-bit art is often the best.
  3. If you are having artist's block, just make an 8-bit Valentines "sweetheart" candy and include a saying inside. For instance, maybe one saying, "LUV U" (like below).
  4. If you need assistance, reach out to me and I'll help you. Commenting here is fine, Discord would be even faster.
  5. Remember, your entry has the same chance of winning as anyone else's. Just do it.



Okay, but how do I make 8-bit art?

Some websites that I've used:



There are many others...search around. Just draw it, save it, then comment/upload here and you're entered to win one of the NFTs.

Summary

  1. Draw an 8-bit art piece, upload it here.
  2. You're entered to win a LUV year-1 NFT.

Happy Birthday !LUV

didn´t know that yet
and uploaded a little GIMP picture for a try

space cookie abductro.png

here is my 8-bit art for a space cookie :) hope you !luv it as I !luv you too hehe

!pizza

I have no idea what a space cookie is, but I like it just for the sheer zaniness. !LUV

@crrdlx

You know... I got to thinking; I read the rules once more, and realized that I did not draw this image! So... here is my attempt at drawing my Cairn image, from my Thoughtful Daily Post graphic lol... Oh my:

8-bitThoughtfulDailyPost.png

Made with http://pixelartmaker.com/

Now I don't feel like a rule breaker!!

I won't say what I saw when I first looked at your image :^) !LUV

No problem, you were in. Maybe I should clarify the rule...just 8-bit, you don't need to actually draw it. I like this one too though.

Turkey Power Turkey

my_img8bit_com_effect.gif

You can find a print of my original drawing below

https://www.redbubble.com/people/kimchiskate/works/58014661-gobble-gi-ma-korean-thanksgiving?asc=u

Extra credit for you for using the term "Power Turkey", or is it "Turkey Power"? !LUV
I love the quirky randomness of a power turkey.

Just looked at your drawing...now I see why it's power turkey. I didn't see the clenched fist in the 8-bit version. Also, I've never heard of RedBubble. Do you like that platform? :)

Ha. I wondered what turkey's felt like during the Black Lives Matter. They were like, "Turkey lives matter." It's just for fun.

There is no charge to store my images there and they will print it on demand. It's very simple and every once and a while someone buys a mask or a sticker.

So, this is our Bulgarian Hive community, compressed to only 8 bits 😀

Neat. I've got to take a look at the animation feature. !LUV

!luv bind hive community together, happy one-year celebrations.

That's a cool looking image. I'm not 100% sure what it is, but I like it. !LUV

Dreemport 8bit art.png
My 8-bit art in support of my favourite community @dreemport @dreemsteem 😍

Love it. Be sure to share it over there too. !LUV

!LUV !hivebits thanks @crrdlx it was fun doing something different ...not done one of these before !LOLZ

OH NO!
You are out of jokes for the day!

@samsmith1971 you can call @lolzbot a maximum of 4 times per day.
Level up by buying more $LOLZ so you can share more jokes per day!

Figured I should add my own, here's me 8-bitified:

Here is my entry to participate, Happy one year anniversary

This is why when I do a contest, I let my cat be the judge. I write all the names of entrants on a piece of paper and put a treat or catnip on each. Whichever one he eats first is the winner! :)

I love this! Reminds me of a Gomer Pyle episode...Gomer was taking a test. He didn't know the answer, so he'd slap his fingers on the desk. Whichever finger tingled the longest, finger a b c or d, that was the answer. :)

Pretty awesome. Pretty sure I used one of those computers, TRS-80 programming in BASIC. !LUV

You can get a nasty one in the US for just under $500

Apparently "It powers on" doesn't mean it works though. 🤣

Happy Birth day to LUV.
@crrdlx here is my sketch

Thanks! It's neat.

Thanks for spending time on what the world needs right now more and more LUV....

Love LUV! Thanks for a way to reward folks on the chain! Happy birthday, I just have no idea what to draw...

No problem, its perfect. I'm a big fan of the shi symbol there in the middle. I used it as the logo of http://satoshibitcoinconverter.com !LUV

lol dunno if i'm late for it but i had fun with my wool sweater motif

art.png

Nope, not too late. You're in the contest. I'll go live on vimm.tv on Weds and randomly pick a winner. By the way, this image 9s fantastic. I love that you call it a sweater motif...that gives me ideas. !LUV

Thanks for being here mate... let's mine for the first time... !hbit

Are you going to have upgrades up to the real stuff like the one2eightbit thing? :P

!BEER (almost ready for the 1k BEER staked) and !PIZZA

Hi forykw happy you're here. One thing though, it's not !hbit it's !hivebits. Try again and it should work. Just FYI, you won't get a notification/confirmation...they're currently off to recharge RCs. 🙂

Not sure what happened there... I think I must have typoed something. Trying now !hivebits

I made this to support the team and all holders and celebrate the luv bday :) It was fun to make some 8-bit art XP

Awesome, thanks so much. And I agree, 8-bit art is fun. It's so simple and it's so easy. I like (1) that you put !LUV in the art and (2) the person in the image and (3) the color scheme you went with.

My-img8bit-com-Effect (1).gif

because i love nature and technology!
!PIZZA

Those are two awesome reasons. I'm in your same boat. !LUV

It is me but without uniform and camouflage

Yes, do the 8-bit art by all means! Thank you for sharing LUV. One more: !LUV

🥦 !LUV !hivebits 🥦

I know, right! It's hard to believe how far LUV has come. Maybe I should write a look-back post. !LUV

It seems that more and more people use LUV to show some LUV as you planned 😉👏 It is a big success to bring much LUV to the HIVE community 😄👍

Anyone who knows me from discord or noise.cash knows that I use Vivi from FFIX as my profile picture and I am considering changing my Hive picture to it as well! It was painstaking but fun to create!

Just checking, but you made this image yourself? !LUV

Yes! On the Paint program!

That's tremendous. I love paint for its sheer simplicity and usevig often.

I love the idea and hopefully fortuna is on my side!

Thank you for your witness vote!

Hey @actifit-peter, here is a little bit of BEER from @isnochys for you. Enjoy it!

Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the BEERKING.

I know I am way too late, but your post made me do my first 8-pixel art ever :D
I had really fun doing it, thanks for the motivation :)

Thats really well done! The multiple shading of green adds a lot and the eye and mouth shape gives personality. !LUV

It's been years that I have been doing anything creative in this direction. Thank you for your kind words :)
