Hard to believe, but our little LUV turns one year old on February 16, 2022.
- See the first hint of the idea on D.buzz (02/14/2021): https://d.buzz/#/@crrdlx/c/n9undtzhp8w1p7f55sdn8j
- Birth of LUV (02/16/2021): https://peakd.com/luv/@luvshares/say-hello-to-luv
Time for a little competition for fun.
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?
- I like art and drawing and such. But mostly, because it's fun.
- Anyone can make "art" like this.
- 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.
- 8-bit art is very, very forgiving.
- Even the simplest, most minimalist and basic 8-bit art is often the best.
- 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).
- If you need assistance, reach out to me and I'll help you. Commenting here is fine, Discord would be even faster.
- 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:
- https://make8bitart.com/ - this is the site I used to make the HBIT logo and HBIT whale badge. I just made the "LUV U" image above with this tool.
- https://img8bit.com/
- http://pixelartmaker.com/
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
- Draw an 8-bit art piece, upload it here.
- You're entered to win a LUV year-1 NFT.

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:
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
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.

Thank you !PIZZA
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.
LUV is my favorite token!
This makes me smile.

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. :)
