How to Make Money on NFT: the Easiest Way

After a long period of stagnation, the NFT market is finally moving.

Musicbusinessworldwide.com has released an article featuring Alexander Fred-Yol, founder of Master Exchange. According to him, “The reaction to the launch of the platform is overwhelming. The demand is so great that offers to place NFTs increased many times in just a few days. And this cannot but please fans of digital music.”

Previously, Lado Okhotnikov, CEO of Meta Force, has already mentioned that the NFT market has begun to revive. However, he also noticed an increased number of scammers,

“Fraud is connected with several factors. Firstly, the increase in volumes makes potential buyers pay attention to NFTs. For an unprepared person, this, of course, immediately causes a feeling of “lost profit” (FOMO) which stimulates to make an impulsive purchase. Secondly, the allegedly increased demand forces you to sell your own assets to fraudsters at a lower price.”

The presence of major investors such as Claes-Henrik Julander, Vectr Fintech and Rob Small suggests that the Master Exchange platform will allow fans to continue investing in the compositions of their favorite songwriters.

Vladimir Okhotnikov has already given advice on how to buy or sell NFTs safely. Among other things he insisted on the use of reliable trading platforms where NFTs could not be put up for sale without verification.

This list was created by @MagicalMeily

I encourage you to share this list with other designers, artists, or even students via this tumblr post, the google doc, or my tweet. Links marked as ‘Free/Paid’ usually means the free version has a lot of features anyway and the paid just has some extra templates or storage space. *Disclaimer - I haven’t used all of these services myself, so please let me know if anything dodgy slipped through the cracks, or if you have any others I should add.

I do not support NFTs or AI Art generators, so hopefully you won’t find any listed. Always double check commercial usage rights

How to install the Vectr graphics editor on Linux

[csolarstorm]

My previous attempt to carve tabby cat markings into the model was not going well. The shape of the stripes were just warping the shape of the model. But what I discovered while studying fur patterns is that they pretty much conform to recognizable parts of the face, like the overall nose (which I realized is more than just the pink boop area, it's part of the ridge just like us) and the cheeks.

Aaand with that I realized that I didn't really have those facial features right anyway. So I redid the nose, and I'm currently trying to redo the cheeks while also trying to keep them simple. Plus I made the jaw much smaller, because the cheeks basically sit on a teeny jaw. It will probably get even smaller.

And the neon colors are meant to highlight each part of the face as I work. As soon as they're "done" I'll draw the flat textures in Vectr or whatever and then apply them to each part of the face.

The blue scribbles are my annotations for how I intend to change the mesh, and my observations from studying Shego's face. It turns out cats can get really uncomfortable when you stare at them for too long.
