Can we all agree NFTs are the equivalent of stealing your classmates OC and just adding cat ears?
Exactly lol
At lease putting cat ears on another's oc at lease has a bit of effort done. Unlike Nft bros.

When I was checking Reddit for messages to see if I had commissions there and was looking for work in game dev- there were like 7/11 people who messaged me asked me about my interest in NFTs... holy shit such delusional fucking lunatics they are.. Great that artists on YT too start to see the patterns and how fucked up all of it is.
that's so disgusting! i thought they were mainly on twitter and instagram... sad to see they got reddit too
Same I just stopped responding to them. I’d like money not a new scheme to launder and such…

What are NFT's?

@@non_davidson783 Newts, frogs and toads. They said so in the video. >:D
My brother asked me if I want to turn my artworks into NFTs last week, AND I JUST STRAIGHT UP SAID NO. THE ANNOYING PART IS, MY MOM IS SAYING THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY INSTEAD OF BACKING DOWN, AND I JUST KEEP SAYING SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT NFTs ARE. I hope this doesn't happen to me and to other artists as well.
Very different from my exp hh. My bro been into all this cryptos since quarantine. One day he asked to draw something and put it out as NFT. I said "Sure but not now" cuz me being careless with his interest and thought "one drawing won't hurt", and I was "desperate for recognition" for my art. I did drew it, but never give him the original file, and it just went lost after my phone broke. Then this all blew up, and I learned NFT did more harm than good. I swear to never participate in whatever my bro is thinking now.
@@helloitsphonie for me I freaking rejected it in an instant, I'm glad I had some sort of Knowledge about NFTs when he asked me about it, if I didn't, I probably would've take him up on his offer
this happened to me too! But it was my aunt who wanted me to do nfts
Me and my mom got into an argument about it because apparently i was too close minded and an idiot for not taking this opportunity to make quick money to get myself a laptop when she,doesnt even know what Nfts are
Me and my mom reached to an understanding tho and she just stopped mentioning it to me and we both apologized to eachother :D
@@aizakkukun4985 :D Glad that you know what they are when he offered the "chance". I just hope no more young artists fell for it like I almost did
Same! My dad keeps pushing me to do NFTs! I immediately said no but he keeps coming to my room everyday(without permission), shove me a video about NFTs, and force me to watch it hoping I would change my mind. I said to him it's bad for the environment he said I was listening to faked sources and it has nothing to do with the environment, he is trying to gaslight me by saying it's all for my future.... It's obvious he wants to make money by using me.... Everytime we r together (eating lunch, at living room, etc) he would start talking about NFTs that's why now I rarely leave my room and my relationship with my dad worsen :((
"Commissions are quick and easy"
Me: Ha!! I wish!! I don't get any, because I'm either "Cheap for the quality I put out, or "Too expensive" for the person that wants one
hahahaha but seriously? are you putting it out there enough?
@@MohammedAgbadi DeviantArt, Twitter, Nushara, several discords I'm in, Newgrounds, my website (though that's a wip). I get this question a lot and the answer is yes, yes I do.
I have all my friends going “you should price your art more!”
And then the situation from somebody else appeared, they wanted a refsheet of their character both back and front view with a paw pad extra
Told them it was $25 and they went ballistic on me
Neither party is happy with prices sometimes :’)
@@katandstar154 a front and back full body for 25 and they complain???
@@joshertosher5278 their first response was
“Well you should really bring the price down, too expensive for something like that”
“I do hundreds of $5 commissions, and I’m a very busy person”
Bruh
I told them why I priced it that way (because I need a new gecko tank) and they blocked me
But to top it off, somebody payed me $55 for a refsheet of two fullbodies, headshot and accessories
I would like to see how they would react to that
I find the situation funny now, but man did they beat me up that day, I honestly cried because they were being awful
I wanna see the nice dms when the person accepted the "no" and followed without acting like a brat
lmaoooo are there any ever
I've seen jeovah witness with better etiquette
The amount of dad puns in this video should be illegal, just like those nfts 😭
I feel like we should hijack the term nft and rename it to boost artist commission etiquette. like Nice Fine-art Trades or Negotiable Fair Transactions.
dad puns are life!!! LMAOO Negotiable Fair Transactions is lit.
The adopt community used the term nft as “not for trade” before those lunatics!
@@zunaritoxiden Yet again, another thing nft people steal next to other's art and the concept of dress up games/picrews.
@@aquaabouttogetfunky Yeah, I know that a lot of people over on toyhouse are freaking out over the prospect of those people finding their characters. Nice to see you calling out the dressup/picrew thing though, like... just go on Doll Divine or something like a normal person, seriously.
Sensei Nero!
Ngl, kinda scared with how the future of us artist will be, one of my favorite artist got threatened if they don't do NFT, their acc will be hacked, and their account has been hacked before by NFT bros.
Holy shot that's terrifing! This is one of those times l feel lucky for not blowing up yet
Ahh yes.... NFT, can't live a day without those in this Virtual life
We can’t live a life in peace when there is weird monke drawings that cost thousands of dollar
lmaooo they're bored!
@@unfunnymeiling2315 why monkey art? Just do some ugly pixel things....
"what's the difference?"
- Commissions are paid, not "maybe paid IF... "
- Commissions don't by default come with the licensing rights to use for commercial purposes
i dont really get it what is up with nfts?? like okay "trading cards" but why is it so expensive for something so poorly done AND something that causes bad to the enviroment? want a unique art? COMMISSION AN ARTIST. It'll be made especially for you, will cost a real value, AND wont be hurting the enviroment!
Because the people who buy and sell NFT’s view it as an investment. The actual quality of the art is mostly irrelevant to these people, and they often buy them because they believe the NFT will increase in value. The Bored Apes Club is objectively not art. They lack any soul or any artistic touch, but people buy them because they’re popular. Popular NFT lines and celebrity NFT’s sell mostly on the merits of the sellers themselves.
The truth is that the people buying and selling art have no respect for the art itself, while advertising NFT’s as a way for artists to get paid and protected. Most artists who try to sell one will never be able to, because they don’t have a big brand or are well recognized in the crypto art space. NFT’s are, in their current state, an insult to art and artists.
Ok I'm hearing everyone saying it's "bad for the environment" but never explaining why it's bad for it. Like what makes them so bad?
@@Disheartthorn it's because nft use block chain and Ethereum for security,a huge amount of energy is used for validation of trasations so higher the number of nft higher the emissions the eletricty (sorry the horrible english)
I'm an artist and recently I've switched to traditional art and my Uncle who dabbles in these crypto currency keeps on telling me I should make art digitally so he can make it into an NFT and I usually just laugh it off and say "Well I prefer traditional art so..." and it usually ends with him telling me to make art digitally and send it to him. He makes me feel like I'm obligated to make art for him and turn it into an nft didn't even ask me if I wanted to make it an nft just told me that I should lol
Oh god, so I'm not the only one with an Uncle who is for whatever reason interested in NFT. For some reason he is like, really obsessed with the idea of them, even asking me and my cousins if he should buy one... He's a cool person, but the fact that he even thinks about getting one makes me want to cry haha.
Hopefully your uncle will soon understand that you have no interest in that stuff;;
My mom wants me to make my art into a business and always bothers me about it. I remember she even got mad when I told her that she wasn't allowed to use my art for her college project. She said "I'm your mom!" Like yeah and?
This doesn’t have to do with NFTs… But I HATE it when my family tries to force me to make art for them… They even tried to guilt trip me into painting for my uncle….
ugh
@@Magicalgirl20 Yeah. My family don’t understand that I only allow ‘shares’ and not ‘reposts’…. Especially when it’s a WIP that I don’t want anyone else to see just yet…
@@baaaphomet69 yes I hate this too anytime my family sees me drawing and ask me to draw a portrait and I say no they immediately start saying things like “wow your so selfish” or “you can even do that? I’m your family” then it always ends of with me drawing a sketch of them because I feel bad.
I hate people that can’t value art.
Story time: Two weeks ago, a girl came to me and wanted me to do a drawing of her and her bf. Everything ok, right? Well. She never said she was gonna pay.. she wanted her drawing to be 20”x15” :)). Acrylics. Since I am easily to distract and all that, I said YES. She was carrying the whole conversation with this “cute, excited, uwu” tone and expressions, while she was talking about her relationship. I knew they were stepping over me and I was letting myself be stepped on like that. I felt ashamed and angry when she left the room. I didn’t even know her. She gave me her info, and I ended up telling her I had no paint… a lie. Instead I did a black&white drawing for her in grafito.
You have to give people a reason to value their own and other people's Artwork, it doesn't surprise me that she didn't but it's not like I can get angry at her. Maybe if Art was taught at all schools about their value it could've been different, but for now we're gonna have to wait.
What, you couldn’t’’ve just said, “Oh wait, how much are you paying again?”?
I honestly don't understand why people say yes to anything from an entitled person at all. It just means they're going to be even more entitled and come back again. Have you ever read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"? Like that.
I like making people happy, but I also learned how to cut people off.
This year's start was awful for commissions, nearly every DM I got was some arsehole wanting to do a realistic 3d collection of NFTs with 5$ budget... PAID AFTER lmao.
they deadass want a whole 3D collection for the price of 5$ dollars?💀
@@imanibetter exactly, and they always start with "we're going to be rich! I have this great -vague af- idea"
"this person clearly has no heart and is filled with intestines only, because ... He has a lot of guts"
Lol, loved it
I recently had a couple of requests in my Instagram inbox to create NFTs and I had to turn them down. I just can't in good conscience indulge this garbage practice. I don't want my art floating out there unprotected. However, I've also heard of artists having their art stolen and sold as NFTs without their knowledge. It makes me so angry that this is happening.
One time, some dude DMed me to make a portrait of his parents but said he had no money. I told him I only do paid commission work. The convo went on for a while and then he said that I'm not an artist cuz all I do is for money. Bruh.
He sounds unemployed.
@@LadyAstarionAncunin For real. 😅
"can't you just find another animal and make them bored" 🤣🤣🤣
i meannnnn
Every time I see horror stories of those Crypto people, I can’t help but picture them as being possessed for some reason. The way they support and advocate positively for NFTs to death. Their overly constantly ‘enthusiastic’ attitude. It’s like an infectious disease. The seemingly ‘patient’ demeanor, akin to crazy people telling you all the ways they are going to hurt you, but with a calm voice. It often sounds like they are held hostage to read a script sometimes. Like a puppet. It's like they are slowly going insane.
It's like if you are true fans of something, you would also have criticism to fix flaws, to make what you are passionate about, more better. You recognize the good and bad, and you totally understand if people don't agree with you.
But with these Cryto people? Nothing but praise. Not even any slight opinions on how to improve the situation. Absolutely nothing is wrong with NFTs in their eyes. NFTs are a gift from God. They force people to follow them. NFTs solve everything after all, right?
ah yes, nothing like a good ol' cult behaviour to inspire public trust
Ikr? Their behaviour is sure as hell not Sane.
Like Matheus said, the way you described it is very much cult behaviour and that's the scariest part. It's really scary what the power of (quick) money can do to some people. Especially, one's who don't really know what they're doing.
You do realise these are the odd ones out right? Like how not every Sonic fan is Chris Chan?
because its like the lottery, art NFTs are the Emperors New Clothes in technology form where if everyone plays along with the notion that a shitty cartoon ape embedded on a blockchain is worth something then everyone can play pass the parcel to new bagholders further down the pyramid, who are only in it to simply do the same. people can mint new ones and may make some or even a lot of money if lucky for minimal effort and some technological knowhow, hence why all sorts of stuff is being outright stolen to mint new crypto lottery tickets. the idea of an NFT is interesting from a digital rights perspective and may have legitimate uses in the future , hawking off mediocre art to "investors" is dubious at best outright scam at worst.
Please, why does this sound like my aunt wanting to try to start NFTs and asking me to draw for her "business" 😭😭😭
Even if she said that there's a crap load of money, I'm not really driven to make cash from a method like that, ESPECIALLY if it involves being an NFT artist.
Thankfully she stopped asking after I've taught her all the bad things they're really doing just to profit.
On another channel, a commenter was talking about "non-NFT clause" that commission artists probably have to put in from now on. I'm about to get into commission art and this is very discouraging.
Currently in my family, I’m the only person trying to grow to be a professional artist and go far with my characters.
My mother and father know I really like art and even encourage me a lot.
But one day my dad said to me, “You should sell Nfts of your characters” and my mom walks by agreeing with him.
I tried telling them that nfts aren’t my thing but both of my parents insisted that “it was the next big thing” and “it’s the only way your gonna make it money”
Send help.
Dude that happened to me kinda my mom doesn't think being a animator is a solid job and my dad said "you can make nfts" idk why but I was happy he somewhat supported me
Ok. Flip your mother. Flip your father. And flip NFTs.
NFT?
You mean
NEVER FELT A WOMEN TOUCH??? yeah i heard of that
LMAOOOOOOO!!!
Never felt titties too man
Nft = Never felt (any human) Touch (ever)
"Awesome! do you know about NFTs? "
*RUN.*
*inserts the music!
NFT is the new scientology
**insert a hoard of Nft supporters chasing**
*insert Awolnation - RUN breakdown part music here
Or just Google it
"This person is filled with intestines only because..."
Me: He's full of crap?
"He's got a lot of guts"
Me: I guess that's true, too.
Funny thing is that, if you know the concept of NFTs and what sellers have to do to profit from them, then a random bloke asking to commission you for NFTs is an IMMEDIATE REDFLAG!!!, even if you are cool with NFTs...somehow.
I missed the times when NFT meant Not For Trade
Ah dang, the beanie is gone, but gotta say, love the fresh cut
wayy better than an NFT
LMAOOO haha the beanieeeeee... might bring it back for a minute
I've been working on Fiverr over a year and the NFT's request are making me insane, literally 6 out of 10 request are related to NFT's and I shot them down every time. At least I hope the craze is going to slow down now that most people are aware of the scam NFT's are.
And this is why I think it's important to include a clause about how you can refuse any commission if you don't feel comfortable drawing something. Then if somebody gets annoyed that you refused they're commission, you have a get out of jail free card because they clearly didn't read your rules.
I actually had a guy who I'm doing albums for tell me he planned to sell them as nfts. He's paid me a bunch already and said he wanted to give me a portion of what he makes from the nfts lol he was way nicer than this ahole. Showed a lot of respect for my work versus this guy, the equivalent of that one kid who says "u should draw me" 😉
I despise the "you should draw me" kid.
Oh I wish him luck then! He seems like an honest man
This was the comment I needed to see
Something people fail to realise is that a commission basically is an nft of sorts, once a drawingpainting is made, it can never be replicated not even by the artist no matter how hard they try, the artist won't be using the same strokes and do everything 100% the same.
But these stupid nfts are auto-generated, they cane easily be found online and screenshoted, however a commission is 1 and 1 only, meant for you, made for you.
Not only that, but the artist of a commission can attach their own terms to the artwork such as what it can and can't be used for. Specifically, a commission artist can legally make it to where their art cannot be sold for NFTs, and any Cryptobros that try it can be taken to court. NFT's aren't exclusive, they're virtually worthless and very few people actually want to buy them, only sell.
@@Lechgang true, a commission is just a cheaper and 100% better wuality that an average nft art, also its a great way to support an artist while still being able to get a piece of art even if you don't 100% own it
@@paracuna ig so? I mean I'm not entirely sure considering that I "don't own" the thing I paid for? If it weren't for the benefits I would've thought Commissions were a scam.
@@Disheartthorn well you can own it? You can frame it and have it as a physical object and it isn't available anywhere else
@@Disheartthorn you do own it, it's just that you can't say that you created it- copyrights of creation still belong to the artist, you have the product, it's the same way as you can't say you made a computer while you own it and can use it
I recently had someone DM me about this. He asked if I was "interested in a business opportunity". I told him I was already working on my own things but part of me wanted to know what he meant by "business opportunity". When I sent that I thought, "If he's about to ask me about NFTs, I'm-" *bling* He replied. "Have you heard of NFTs?" I ended up just laughing at the coincidence and timing, and just politely told him I was not interested. Thankfully he didn't respond like this guy in the video and just "understandable, have a ncie day"-ed out of there. It's crazy how much this has spread and even the smaller accounts are getting approached by people about this.
This whole NFT thing just feels so scummy
Even if NFT's had some value, none of it is gonna go to you. They want you to make something for them that they can sell.
Just did cheerleading, went bad so I definitely needed this, thanks for the great content as always ^^!
ahhh You got this!
@@MohammedAgbadi aww thankss
I do digital Arts and I've been frequently called by a few art commissioners for doing some NFT projects and after rejecting two NFT Clients, and later trying out one but, asking for payment for my illustrations they started backing out. I can't be delivering digital art without getting paid. They're every where and to me they're NFT projects, hungry, scavengers.
I had a possible employer send me a message, saying they wanted to draw something in an anime art style, but as a set of NFTs.
I have never been so insulted a day in my life. I still think about that employer, hoping someone reported their shitty recruiting practices.
That's why in my commissions sheet I make very clear that I have the right to refuse a commission if I want to.
Awesome video!! NFTs is a concept I will never understand though
NFT is weird animal are weird and ugly humans,that they cost thousands of dollar👍
And a lot of people hate it to
hahaha You and me both!
I think what got me the hardest is that the client is more concerned over the costs of minting upfront rather than paying the artist upfront.
*Fun fact: ✨Boundaries✨*
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk
*_bodacious applause_*____
@@MohammedAgbadi *indeed*
This reminds me of an experience my friend had when she got commissioned, she got commissioned to redraw NFT's. She's been getting a lot of commissions like that
I'm still not sure what NFTs are, still learning.
same here!
Look up "The Problem With NFTs" from Folding Ideas on YT. It's a super long video but it thoroughly explain it all, including context and projections for the future. The short answer is they're awful.
@@hollandscottthomas thx Scott 🙏😌
I'm probably going to use the 'newts, frogs and toads' line if someone ever asks me about NFTs. That's such a creative line
Sadly, this seems to be a growing trend nowadays. Sometimes they ask upfront to use the art as NFTs and other times, they commission the artist and then mint the art without telling them that was the intention for commissioning them 💀
I remember seeing a RUclips short where some lady was like “do y’all like my NFT’s?”
and majority of the comments were just
*No.*
Last week I remember my dad seeing my art and some dude told him about nfts then all of a sudden my dad told me ur gonna do nfts which I hate dad kept telling me to do nfts till I broke down crying with rage days later my siblings were forcing me to do nfts its as if they want me to to take the easy way out

Ain't watch the video yet but this FIRE! This the first time I've heard of an Internet robbery talking place. Man's was blatant too. If I was the artist I wouldn't just shocked, I'd be offended too. Imagine a random dude walking into your house asking you to give your fridge and furniture, only to be compensated once sales are made. Then, once you refuse, he threatens to steal your fridge, furniture, and stuff if you don't comply, as if you wouldn't get robbed in either scenario.
My friend was arguing with me about how NFTs were really good, and then I literally screenshotted one and gave it away on a discord server for free. Like 12 people-
Plot twist: that guy doesn't have any guts. It's actually full of Griffith
At early 2021, I was trying to land some gigs on Fiverr, and someone came up with a 'collectible' commission. I had no idea about NFTs, and tried to know more about the project to provide a better service, but ended with no information about it.
The very first commission was an alright experience, just exploring some sketches and ideas, but it then quickly devolved into a myriad of extras for every order, always choosing the worst art to go through, and delivered in some crazy deadlines. The worst part was that there were always several adjustments requests, without any payment for them, up until I politely asked to respect the revision policy. It devolved into small payments for the rework, and always more requests for adjustments without pay. Again, up until the point of another 5$ revision delivery, that the client started to lash out about how small the adjustment was, and that he had a Photoshop expert that could tell how little I had done. I politely answered again the huge asshole who wanted a 5$ refund for this last order.
That was my last order with them, refusing to work with him again, but still they went on to launch an ugly NFT collection that actually sold a lot, and to make it worse, they marketed that the ARTISTS were launching the NFT collection, when all they payed me for 70% of the collection was something around 100$, mostly from 5$ revisions, while being assholes on top of it.
Nice video! Some of these NFT groups are literally called NFTits so I wouldn't be surprised if someone would create Bored Anuses as a pseudo-ironic gag, at this point
lmaoooo if i see it i will totally lose my _shit_
🤣🤣🤣🤣
If I were the artist being ahrassed by this kid, I'd say "sure, but I get 80% of ALL cash rewards going forward, my name goes on every piece, and these terms would be non-negotiable." Using other people's artwork as a get-rich-quick scheme is such garbage. Learn how to draw and do it y'all's damn selves.
commissioner: What’s the difference between doing regular commissions and my requests? 🥺
Artist: Money
Commissioner: 🤬🤬
This brings me back to a time where my dad started talking to me about NFT’s. And he kept telling me about how I could use my art to create NFT’s, which I want no part in at all. It’s hard to state that I don’t wanna do it too because he’s my dad, so it’s hard to get your point through, especially when you’re a young artist like myself
i'm a small artist, and i opend commissions for the first time, and now im scared that someone can just do an nft of my drawings
Anyone who supports NFTs as they are now is delusional or a scammer.
mohammed, your content is just high quality, like i never get tired of watching it, youre like some journalist + detective solving crimes and the dark sides of the internet lol
Who do these guys think they are anyways? Don't they realize anyone with enough capital can mint NFTs? If an artist really wants to work an NFT project then why would they ever need SOMEONE ELSE to mint the NFTs when they're already doing MOST of the work by creating the art associated with the NFTs which are worth nothing on their own.
As a newbie working toward eventual commissions, thank you so much for including that general explanation, it answered a lot!
The fact that I got a NFT ad at the beginning of the video 💀
dang!!!
War flashbacks to when YT kept showing me diff versions of ads for some stupid giga chad nft trading b.s... I would say stop showing and they would show a diff version😃
@@cortina4677 bruh fr I hate those, for a sec i thought giga chad was gonna be an actual sarcastic meme game or something, but nope
I have seen at least three NFT games ad. It's madness.
"How can you not tell he's trolling you??" Answer - it's because more than likely the person contacting the Artist is either a kid around the ages of 8 to 13 OR they are from a country like India (maybe) where they don't seem to know how applying for Commissions work, This is why they might come off as serious, robotic stiff or resort to insulting you if you say no to them. It's always often someone young and entitled and they have no sense of mannerism and interacting with them feels weird/ unnatural to you. I've seen too many incidents posted on Twitter to not recognize de behavioral pattern.
People have been pressuring me these days to go into NFT. Truth is, I think it's too overrated, but Nigerians will want to jump into anything without really thinking as long as it brings them money.
My friends are telling me to go into it, part of me is saying no, NFTs are ridiculous and the other part of me is thinking about it.
I had people call me a failure who deserves to be poor and is probably living off rich parents at the same time because I don't want to make them free nft art.
They probably was planning on not even paying him. What insurance do they have that they would even pay him? They didn't even mention how much he'd be paid. Someone wanted me to work on a comic for 50% of imaginary future money lol
'you do commissions what's the difference'
this has to be a child.
" Bored anuses", The moment where i felt my soul leave my body.
LMAO now imagine that as NFTs
Same thing for a certain genre
Everyone and I really say everyone supporting NFTs are only interested in the "easy" money supposed to came from it not the art and even less the artist, don't let them cheat you
It's funny, how NFTs were advertised as tool to help artist, and most artists be like 'nah'.
Now this is sad
and dirty
Paying artists fairly is a much easier concept to grasp than whatever an NFT is or claims to be.
I could see an agreement of paying a minimal amount up front and then some percentage after the sales, but even that isn't a particularly great deal for the artist...and what this guy is doing is 100% throws up all the scam red flags.
I was just at a convention a few weeks ago. An older man approached my table and asked me if I was at a different convention because he thought he recognized me, but no I wasn't there. he started complimenting my art and saying I had a lot of skill for making my watercolour so detailed and he's never seen any artist do it like me. He told me his father has a gallery and he's never seen watercolour detailed like mine... (which is weird because I see more talented watercolour artists all the time with more detailed stuff than mine, which immediately made me think this guy doesn't really know what he's talking about.) he grabbed one of my business cards and said he was interested in having me do work for greeting cards, but then rabbit trailed into asking me if I knew about the Metaverse and NFTs. He kept going on and on about all the connections he has and all the people he knows that invest in all sorts of things yada yada yada. He said I was one of the very few at the convention who had ACTUAL skill (definitely not true because JUST in my row there were at least a few artists who were very skilled). He kept going on about the potential I had in working with him if he chose me to be a part of his project that he kept saying WAS SO SECRET HE CANNOT GIVE ME DETAILS. I kept trying to find a polite way out because he was talking to me for a while and I had people waiting to come to my table to ask me a question and buy stuff and I had sketch commissions I needed to get done for that day. I finally got him to leave and said "well, I'll think about it" to which he reiterated that THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE HE WOULD CHOSE ME. Like... okay whatever? He also was interested in buying one of my originals that I had on display but he didn't have enough cash on him and I'm so glad he didn't cause I didn't want to sell to him to have it potentially used as a NFT without my permission.
But yeah, long story short, I think the Metaverse and NFTs are stupid from what i know, and since I don't feel like I fully understand either of them I don't want to do business with them because I have a feeling I'll get ripped off.
got the same thing recently... and i just looked at it... and never had the courage to respond to such NFT business deal since I'm an amateur to art
I saw a funny vid where most NFTs are explained as Closed Species, but worse.
Love the vids dude! Akways fascinated about what's going on in the Art World.
Hajsjfjf I love this! So, these days I was doing clothing desings for my ocs and people joked about being NFTs because I duplicated the character drawing so I can draw on top the clothing desing. I know the Joke but having to deal with the Joke so many times makes me mad! All wanna say is seperate the NFT world with the art world, thats all I ask. Anyway, I love this video! We artist have power wen we say if we are ok with something or not.
"But NFTs actually help the artists because people are paying properly for and are more appreciative of their work" ...yeah, we can see that.
Passenger 57 playing in the background..... Dope!
Wowwwww!!! You got it!! Hahhaa I almost thought no one will get it
@@MohammedAgbadi Yeah man, I grew up in the Early nineties. Wes Snipes definitely apart of that era of pop culture. New Jack City, White Men can't Jump and Blade, some of my favorite WS movies.
"Filled with intestines only" is also a great way to say that someone if full of crap.🤣
getting called a pretty penguin made my day
nft "art" are just closed speices but 10x worse
I got a lot of NFT request, and I hate it for some reason. Some are kind enough to understand when I said no, some is just...
One time I got a message said that they want to make an artwork of Chadwick Boseman to tribute him by make it into NFT. Is that how you make tribute of the deceased one? tribute? to sell it as an NFT? Isn't that taking advantage, not tributing.
I told him it's not right to take advantage of deceased one. I have no reply since. I hate this kind of people, have no conscience, no morale, just plain a-hole. Or maybe deep down they know it's not right but ignore it, for easy money.
Another one is from my friend's colleague. He want to make a company that produce NFT, said that he has investors and confident that this company will be a huge success to the point asked me to leave my current full time job, a stable, well paid and a kind of work that I love, to something that not even sure if it will be exist in the first place. So politely I said no.
Well, he didn't give up, with a promise that my salary and position will be higher and I will have my own team, bigger than my current team (If that company success of course).
He also said that he already shown my artworks to the investors and they like it very much, that's why he couldn't giving up on me. Showing my art to the third party without my consent is quite unpleasant already. He even try to convince me to meet him for further discussion even said that he will pay for all my tickets and hotel. I'm a woman, and he ask me go far away... to meet him... alone? (maybe I'm watching too much of crime documentary but that doesn't sounds right, right?).
He asked if we could make a phone call, I agree since I want to be as polite as possible. I said no for the offer immediately without him start his persuasion. Glad he understand and didn't push it any further. Later that I know, he change his plan into a game company.
I just found this channel yesterday, and I’m already in love with it. You just earned a sub :)
Glad you enjoy it!

This is why I love Scruffy. Good designs. Good morals. Good personality. Truly a top tier chad. Worth the follow!
You cannot force someone to draw an NFT.
One of my mates is a 3D artist and most of his commissions are people who ask him to make NFTs. He says sure as long as he gets upfront payment xD
4:55 I do love me some newts, frogs and toads
As someone that is a artist that doesn’t do commissions or nsfw (I’m a minor and it makes me very uncomfortable) and I also didn’t know what A nft was until I watched this video you learn something new every day
Didn't know it was a thing to get paid before the end of the commission 😮
*me taking note
5:09 nothing wrong with newts frogs and toads, but i think it’s funnier replying with “oh, you mean Nice Fuckin Tiddies? Hell yeah then I love NFTs!”
My mom forced me to make an nft once and it still hasn’t stuck right with me,especially since it was a dtiys challenge and it wasn’t even my oc
Your mom is fired. A new one will be delivered within 3 business days.
I miss when I could say nft and it would mean “not for trade”
NFT's are just a scam at this point I keep seeing them on my timeline and I think it's dumb and a waste of energy
Ah yes, newts, frogs and toads. Ill be putting that in my ultimate W book.
Your humor is brilliant lol
I love this guy, he’s hilarious! 😂😂
