I draw live in my Discord channel every day for 2 hours and whatever comes out of that 2-timeframe becomes an NFT and is put up for auction. The proceeds go into a Gnosis Safe and are kept until either I complete the challenge or I fail. If I fail, missing a day, I will redistribute the funds to the buyers of the NFTs. If I win, I get to keep the funds. Anyone is welcome to join me for the drawing session. Discord Server: https://discord.gg/afx9NxqfXS This challenge officially began on March 13, 2022.
Day 224: Cerberus
In Greek mythology, Cerberus (/ˈsɜːrbərəs/; Greek: Κέρβερος Kérberos [ˈkerberos]), often referred to as the hound of Hades, is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. He was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and was usually described as having three heads, a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from multiple parts of his body. Cerberus is primarily known for his capture by Heracles, the last of Heracles' twelve labors.

- Day 222: Minotaur
Week 32: Classic Monsters
Month: October - Horror
Minotaur, Greek Minotauros (“Minos’s Bull”), in Greek mythology, a fabulous monster of Crete that had the body of a man and the head of a bull. It was the offspring of Pasiphae, the wife of Minos, and a snow-white bull sent to Minos by the god Poseidon for sacrifice. Minos, instead of sacrificing it, kept it alive; Poseidon as a punishment made Pasiphae fall in love with it. Her child by the bull was shut up in the Labyrinth created for Minos by Daedalus.

Mary Shelley described the monster as being extra tall (8ft), beautiful, and yet still somewhat dead-looking by the sunken look to his eyes and the yellowness of his skin.

Unlike a classic werewolf, the dogmen are from unknown breeds and can be anything from a full mutt (as depicted here) to a purebred style like the rottweiler, pitbull, or Doberman pincer. They've been haunting the forests of not just Virginia but West Virginia and Michigan.

- I'm back in development mode and it feels great.
My interest in animation started about 7 years ago when I started experimenting and teaching myself how to animate. Luckily, I had the support of @zombieshepherd.lens who saw potential in my abilities. Since then we've developed an animated choose your adventure, Get Up, Pierrot, created a mini series for FX called Rosie & Joe and made a number of short films.
Now we're developing something new and this part of the process might be my favorite.
This is just a sneak peak.
- UX is awesome, very intuitive ! Art is cool :D

Day 213: Mothman
Modern Monsters: Monsters created during the modern era.
In West Virginia folklore, the Mothman is a humanoid creature reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area from November 15, 1966, to December 15, 1967. The first newspaper report was published in the Point Pleasant Register, dated November 16, 1966, titled "Couples See Man-Sized Bird ... Creature ... Something". The national press soon picked up the reports and helped spread the story across the United States.
The Mothman was introduced to a wider audience by Gray Barker in 1970 and was later popularized by John Keel in his 1975 book The Mothman Prophecies,[4] claiming that there were supernatural events related to the sightings and a connection to the collapse of the Silver Bridge. The book was later adapted into a 2002 film, starring Richard Gere.
An annual festival in Point Pleasant is devoted to the Mothman legend. (Mothman on wikipedia)

- Anyone else seeing Opensea having a conniption about actually delivering transfers??
- What happened in the past 10 hours?? did another bridge got hacked? Did Xinobi drop a new tune?
- hello world!
as my genesis post, i am sharing one of my favorite creations. this generative art comes from a system of rules which I have been exploring since mid-2021.
there are 23 underlying "atom" shapes, with each cell containing a pair of atoms, and 136 different ways to pair these atoms together. these rules form continuous paths on a 2D square grid of any size, with a given NxM grid always yielding exactly (N + M) independent paths.
the image is generated using a deterministic random bit generator (DRBG) process, based on the Fowler–Noll–Vo (FNV) non-cryptographic hash function. 3 bits of pseudorandom input are used per grid cell, with this being the minimum sufficient volume of data necessary to encode for every possible permutation of path geometry.
this artwork was published in Processing Foundation's 20th Anniversary Community Catalog, which showcases creations from the user community of the Processing language and p5js library.
