Same boat I love the idea of my pieces being "tools" to create master nft allowing me to keep my tools.....I also like the idea of giving the option to the buyer...... interesting..... what it does do for us old-school brush painters is a viable way to self leverage our art!

[@IanKorman]

I have been watching many NFT videos that are available. Your videos are by far the best. Keep up the great work.

[@fractilians7]

Love the idea of having the creative process be an unlock that they get as part of their NFT purchase. I’m also blown away by the whole royalty component of it. That to me is such a game-changer. I have been in the art world as an artist, educator, exhibitor, and curator and really love how much control this whole process brings to the artist. I’ve always been into digital/analog art and this NFT world is my idea of heaven in terms of creative possibilities. This is such a great video! Thank you so much for doing this. - Nathalie

Hi 3D Gladiator. Thank you for the informative video on how to turn works of art into an NFT. My son is an artist who has many paintings and sculptures but is still adamant about entering the digital market with his works. With the illustrations you have shared, I believe he is now willing and ready to venture into the NFT world, so we are very grateful for your contribution.

I started as a watercolor artist 30 years then Acrylics and 6 years ago bought an iPad pro bought the app Procreate and have been doing digital art because I paint a composition that I like on my iPad pro then I offer Giclee prints that I put on a flash drive go and get it printed. I sell alot of Giclee prints from my digital art. Digital is so vivid love the look!

This is interesting. I have a large catalogue of paintings left by my late grandfather when he passed away.. we have between 150 & 200 paintings, all original artwork, that he created in the latter stages of his life. We have no experience in selling artwork and they’ve sat collecting dust for a number of years so far. I have been thinking about digitising and selling prints as a way to ease the process of selling the artwork (shipping physical artwork is expensive and packaging costs are expensive) and running limited prints of each. I hadn’t considered NFT’s as a possibility, i know very little about the whole process but watching this has given me another option to think about. Thanks :)

But I feel that NFTs are still not yet developed enough to make me fall in love with the art pieces. My feeling Is that the actual art world Is so much bigger to fit into an NFT. Lets see what can we do as artists with this new technology. Great videos! Keep going 🧡

However, I realize I have a lot more research to do but your video was explained in simple terms allowing me to grasp your "topic" and I appreciate your careful walk through this process. At least now I almost understand what I am required to do and have a "point of reference" if I pursue turning my own original artwork into NFTs.

Decided to try myself out in the movement. Not really to get rich or anything. But because - as I believe - a modern artist needs to embrace the unknown and explore the frontier with his art. My current plan is to turn my paintings into looped animations with limited editions. And then the there's going to be a unique one-of-a-kind version of a nifty which is going to come with a physical painting to the first NFT buyer. Exciting times EDIT: I've finally created my first ever NFT! Gas cost about 7 USD + 33 USD. Monday night.

As an artist who focuses on paints spray paint and drawings I'm glad I found this

[@SalkisRe]

This is amazing.. the interpretation of value and ownership is changing right before our eyes. I create reproductions if originals through printing but I also paint over the reproductions to make them look and feel like an original. Based on these new definitions, I think I create another original when I alter the reproduction. Does this change the status for claiming what's original or a print for tangible paintings too? So the token stores the value and the value can be sold or traded? So the future of art is projections of art pieces onto somebody's wall instead of having the tangible piece..

[@Miesvanderhro]

@3D Gladiator My brother created amazing physical art with details in electronic circuit inspiration. My question is this: I have an art print e-commerce store, and we copied and printed out some editions. Can I use the original art drawing and make into an NFT for niftygateways for example, and still continuing printing out the editions for sale in my shop with the digital copy that I had in the beginning?

[@arch9299]

I have a question regarding to your previous video: When people buy "Leaving Aracadia" you posted on Rarible, the authentic one-of-a-kind NFT that people buy and trade is the Jpeg and not the Tiff file?? It sounds counter-intuitive that the low-res image is more valuable than the hi-res image you unlock as an bonus.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Very good video. How does copyright work with NFT’s. Can the artist still retain the copyright to their art works. If you have an original digital art work as an NFT does that mean you can’t reproduce the same image as a print using a print on demand service?

And then I immediately feel like I am the old person in the room when I try to figure out this stuff. I don't get it, I don't think my brain is capable of getting it, and I have a doctorate. If you can come up with a business that simplifies this process you are going to make a lot of money and I would invest in it.

Thanks for watching and your comment Craig. Of course your brain is pefectly capable of getting this! 😀 What's probably missing is a basic understanding of blockchain technology, consensus algorithm, peer to peer networks and cryptography.

Hi, Quick question. My father in law has a physical painting from 1800 which was apparently painted by someone close to Picasso. Can I digitize this image and upload it as an NFT?

Hello there! I very much like these videos on nft they really helpful.

Hi thank you so much for your video. May i ask- the digitized bull in the Picasso painting - he just took a picture of it, and digitized it- adding many other things but is it considered trevors work? Are there any rules regarding this?

[@3DGladiator]

Thanks for watching and your question Michelle. Trevor Jones created the physical painting on canvas first, digitized it in a second step (probably by taking a few highres photos) and turned it into a unique digital edition by adding layers of animation. There are no strict rules when it comes to this, except that you need to be careful not to infringe copyright laws when you take other artists work and add your own twist to it. I consider Jones bull as an artistic interpretation of Picasso's bull. I hope this answers your question. Best, Ben

[@ikbo]

Unless I am living on a different planet for physical items like painting or sculpture most people would want to physically own them and its NFT which proves ownership. But then the question I have is how do you handle forgeries? Do you need an oracle that verifies authenticity? And how do you handle transfer when you sell physical item (with its NFT)? NFT transfer is automatic but with physical items transfer might need to verified against forgeries - how do you solve that problem? Oracles?

[@magsinger17]

Great information and I thank you so much for making this video! I do have a question. If your work is on paper done with markers pens oil paintings whatever… It has to get into the computer somehow. I have a reasonably nice scanner on my printer. When I scan a product in what settings should I use? A piece that I read regarding this said "it is strongly recommended to generate the NFT markers with an optimal resolution and size: a total size in pixels base x height between 3,300,000 to 3,500,000 pixels and DPI of at least 200 to 300." I am not sure how to achieve that. Do you have a guideline that can help me?

[@3DGladiator]

Thanks for watching and your question Maggie. I would scan it with high, or even the highest settings available. This usually means cranking up the DPI value as high as supported by your device. This results in large files, but preserves all the details. Things like cropping and color correction are done in Photoshop later on. When you tokenize your work, you are usually limited to certain file size, set by the marketplace you mint and list the NFT. For this reason, it makes sense to include a highres version of the image as unlockable content for instance. This way the buyer get access to the high-resolution artwork after purchasing. I hope this answers your question. Best, Ben

[@magsinger17]

Thank you!@@3DGladiator

[@Barada73]

So if I do the original drawing as pencil on paper, scan that into the computer, then ink and color it digitally, would the digital version be considered the finished artwork? Or would the physical drawing and the digital drawing be considered two separate works?

Sell the original artwork on a different platform. I had a client whp express interest in my painting and then said he would prefer nft if I do them. So I had said sure I'll mint it. I wasnt sure does that mean I will need to destroy the masterpiece or I could sell it?

[@realWorsin]

The bottom line here is the younger generations view things on the internet as real property. This is a concept the older generations have a hard time grasping. As time moves forward though, NFTs and other digital assets will grow tremendously. Just wait till Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality kick in with these NFTs. There will be a day where you walk into your friend's real home and see digital artwork around the house.

[@Donna777]

I have a question 🙂 I have a collection of PokeMon cards from more than 20 years ago I bought for my son and he didn’t want them anymore so I have kept them thinking they may have value someday.

[@1murkeybadmayn]

Well, I'm a millennial and I have a hard time grasping this NFT concept. Older, physical goods, especially in art, tend to have more value anyway. If somehow this blockchain encryption technology is compromised, people will lose so much money, it will be ridiculous. How do they even display these things anyway, a million dollar gif, png?

[@realWorsin]

@@1murkeybadmayn The technology for displaying this art through Digital Picture Frames, Virtual Reality, and Mixed Reality already exists. It's just a matter of app development really. Also, it is far more likely that someone can steal the real Mona Lisa than the blockchain being compromised. It would require such a large effort to do so it would outweigh the value of the hack. This is why blockchain is so safe.

[@demm9000]

Thanks! Short and clear. One question: do you know what happens to the copyright? If you buy an original... Then... are you able to ,for example, sell print copies of it without anybody's permission??

[@3DGladiator]

Thanks for your question. Without an OK from the artist, I would say no. The copyright always belongs to the artist. It could be different when the artist is no longer alive anymore.

[@majincards]

NICE VÍDEO BROW

[@joycekorotkin9998]

Learning so much from you, thanks. My question is, who owns the copyright of the NFT? I'm thinking about turning characters from a picture book I'm writing/illustrating into NFTs. If I do, and they sell, can I still use my characters to have a book traditionally or even self-published without being sued by the Collector of the NFT?

[@3DGladiator]

As I understand it, the copyrights always belong to you. (disclaimer, I don't know anything about copyright laws) The owner of the NFT is allowed to showcase your work, but he cannot start printing your work on t-shirts and mugs to make some extra money without your permission. This means that you can continue to use the characters in books. If your books are successful, the NFT could increase in value too. It's in your interest though to tokenize and sell the characters only once to keep them rare.

[@brainmaker4495]

Joyce Korotkin: This is one of the most interesting prospects to me, as an artist and author. I've tried different things with putting characters out "in the world" digitally over the past 20 years. Are you thinking you would turn images of the characters into NFT, or would you turn written descriptions of the characters into NFT? Or something else? I love the idea of someone valuing that ownership and paying for it, and then as I continue with more stories with the character, the value would increase. So fascinating.

[@joycekorotkin9998]

@@brainmaker4495 I was thinking of putting the characters out there as illustrations/art. Just wasn't sure if it would hurt or hinder the book, should it ever be picked up. Or maybe chuck the book and sell the art. The whole NFT space is so new to me. I come from the Fine Art world grounded in the 20th century's ways of making and selling art, with all of its exclusivity and secrecy, everyone afraid of losing their advantage and 'position' within the rarified corridors. The NFT community is so sharing, caring and unified in one purpose - to always do good, to help each other, to promote each other's work. It's refreshing, enervating and shocking.

[@IndependentThinkerGOAT]

So one way to create an NFT out of a physical painting is to simply take a picture of it? Nice video btw.

[@3DGladiator]

Thanks for watching! Yes, it's as easy as taking a simple picture. Then it's up to you what you declare as the unique piece of work.

hi - do i understand you can use existing paintings of ‘other’ artists and digitally ‘change’ it with layers, colors, adding images, …. For example the picasso bull?

[@3DGladiator]

I would say no. But there is quite a bit of room for an artistic interpretation of another artist's work. Copying without adding your creative twist is probably not a good idea.

I have just finished working on 12 unique pieces of artwork on a large canvas. I started last year during the lockdown and did not begin with a business perspective. I just painted for leisure & fun. Each of the pieces of artwork connects to one another with an interesting story.

It all turned out to be perfect, looking absolutely gorgeous and vibrant on the computer with an unlimited zoomable option. Alright, so now I wish to list a few of my works as NFT.

Very informative video 3DG, can you give your thoughts on this scenario? I have both photos and some digital art creations already on sale via print on demand via my own shop (which initially I want to keep and continue with). If I make NFT's out of the same pieces and someone buys them, does that stop me from having the ability to still produce these designs as print on demand? Or do I need to make a different version for NFT sale? Does it mean I have to specify somewhere the differences of ownership and usage? Also, the cost to buy printed and digital, you mentioned this. The prints are a low price as physical prints, is it good practice to set the same price of an NFT higher? Can the buyer then start selling physical prints from the NFT that could rival or be sold for a lot of money that I won't have any claim over? Thank you

[@3DGladiator]

Thanks for your question Derek! You could turn an image of the sculpture into an NFT, but you could also 3d-scan the sculpture and turn the file into an NFT. Either way, you can always record the carving process and add it as unlockable content. Recording the process is a good idea as it proofs that you are the actual creator of the artwork.

I appreciate your series on NFT's. As a mainly traditional painter, I thought that it would be problematic if an NFT of my painting was selling for way more than the traditional version of the same piece. Definitely a lot to think about.

[@realWorsin]

You could always just add the Digital NFT as part of the package when someone buys your physical paintings. This way they get both and if they sell the digital version then it's on them and you still make a profit from it anytime the digital version is sold.

Hey. I have similar issues. I'm a traditional painter too. Of course it is possible to sell a NFT and then physically mail them the painting. If the painting sells for enough you can do this easily. Personally I was thinking to simply take a good pic of a painting, then alter it in photoshop and make it animated slightly (that's about 5-10 frames set on repeat) then sell it as an animated NFT. That way it can keep the "original status", while securing your painting for sale elsewhere. You don't want to be in a dilemma where you sell your NFT of your painting as "a single work" only, then when you sell the original painting get approached by someone stating they technically own the painting (since they bought it as an NFT). Better to alter the original piece somehow, then make an NFT of it.

[@LaLaTheRockstar]

Thank you very much. Can you please make a video on explaining the complete process of how to put a physical painting on NFT and auction and sell it. I am looking for the complete easy process. I am from India. Suppose, I wanna sell one of my physical painting, how would I do it through NFT, and how would the complete process of reaching the painting from artist to buyer living in anywhere in the world happen? Please make a video on this. That would be very helpful for artists who don't know anything about these crypto things and want to adapt to new system and make money by selling their peerless arts. Thanks :)

[@asiadyer]

I have a question. I am a fabric dyer, etc, and the idea would be to sell digitalized images of certain works. I would like to ask what would be the problem with or disadvantage of selling an image or images of a work that I do NOT have around in the studio anymore, like images of past work?

[@3DGladiator]

I don't think that this is a problem as long as you are the creator of the original pieces. People who are collecting NFTs are usually more interested in the token than the actual physical piece. Best, Ben

I did not catch your input on the “process?” Are you suggesting its either taking a digital picture or having an digital artist replicate? Pls advise

[@3DGladiator]

Taking a good picture is totally sufficient. Let's say you want to turn your painting into an animation. In this case it also starts with a simple photograph of the artwork. You could then create the animation yourself or hire someone to animate it for you.

[@atowhid]

@@3DGladiator Very informative, thanks! If i choose option 1 and tie the NFT with the physical piece as part of the package, wanted to know how i display that on OpenSea? Just mention it in the description?

[@monkeybearmax]

If you sell NFT - how does one set parameters for continuing to use the image? So if you want to sell physical prints from an original NFT you sold? Is there a way to program for that? So that rights to print stay with artist ? Or does that not work as well since the image is digitized on blockchain?

[@Agalgo88]

Hi 3d gladiator, so, after watching this and the other video of turning art into nft I have these doubts: I have hq photos of my paitings, I upload these ones following the steps in the "how to turn your art..." and that's all? do you recomend start now or wait to cardano to enter in the game? gracias! thank you!

[@3DGladiator]

Yes, that's all from a technical point of view. But then it's up to you to promote your work and get noticed by collectors. Minting and listing alone is usually not enough. Cardano could solve the high gas fee issue, but I'm still skeptical about it.

[@Agalgo88]

@@3DGladiator thank you very much for responding! In my case, the gas fee to digitalize means a lot, so I'm waiting to be cheaper. The gas fee to digitalize is per workart or is it a fee to enter? Do I have to pay everytime I scan/upload a work? Thank you very much, really interested in getting back to do art and make something with it. about 10 years!

Gladiator, stone and clay sculptor here recently turned onto the NFT digital phenomenon. I've a ton of clay lying around - still planning on learning how Blender works. Is it possible to take photos of a real 3D image and work it up on CGI software maybe derive a mesh from it then go from there?

[@3DGladiator]

Thanks for watching and your question. You can try to digitize your sculptures using photogrammetry. There are quite a few free tools available now that you can feed with photos. The application turns your pictures into a point cloud which gets transformed into a mesh that can be exported as an STL or OBJ file. Refinement could be done in Blender or ZBrush for instance.

I really struggle with the concept of destroying the art work. Art is primarily rather something to take visually notice of and enjoying its beauty than something which is only hidden on a blockchain and never seen. Art is more seeing than having. I would like to see my new original physical painting hanging on my wall and I want be sure that it is an original one. I` am looking for an easy way to do the originality verification and documentation of the art work in combination with the creation of an NFT as a digital representation of the genuine Art Work. Do you have some proposals on that ?

[@Sp8e]

Thats why the metaverse was created. So you can showcase your digital art when you are in it. This world will cease to exist, we are creating another world inside of this. The Devil told me this.

[@balloonbrossa]

This is a window opening into a previously unknown world. Having spent 20 years fashioning wood, metal and fabric by hand into Helena, I was buoyed up when sailing her into Greek island harbours to hear onlookers describe my creation as the most beautiful object they had seen. Her personified spirit is enshrined in a primitive portrait of Helen of Troy, painted by Elaine my wife. Fixed to the main bulkhead. her incisive countenance observes all who step on board. I am considering revisiting this process anew and wish to offer Helena as an NFT. Could this become a possibility?

How does the shipping of the physical object work? I understand the contract concept of the blockchain, but then who sets the shipping cost, who verifies that the object was delivered etc

[@3DGladiator]

Shipping is difficult. The truth is, most collectors are not interested in the physical piece. If there is one, then great, if there is none, it's great too as you don't have to deal with it when reselling the token in the future. Beeple sent physical tokens to the buyers of his NFTs when this all started and collectors loved it. I'm not sure though how they deal with the physical thing when they sell the token. If I would buy one of these NFTs, I would try to get in touch with the previous owner and make sure to receive the box too. niftygateway.com/itemdetail/primary/0x6e5dc5405baefb8c0166bcc78d2692777f2cbffb/21 Best, Ben

[@avitaniskyfall9841]

Only the copyright holder can turn it into an nft without it being illegal. Same goes for photos of physical artwork. I have even seen a lot of fanart NFTs, but once the big companies catch onto this whole NFT thing, many people could get into serious trouble for copyright infringement... especially because NFTs can be resold over and over again and each of those sales would be illegal... (at least that is what seems logical)

If I choose to sell a physical version separate from the NFT, should I state precisely what I am doing in the description of the NFT? Typically, with my physical works, I am bound to the the limitations I set forth in my Certificate of Authenticity, but I am not seeing these boundaries stated clearly with NFT's.

[@meenachopra9211]

I have a question, if I want to use the original for digitization, use the image as mould or master but at the same time would like to sell it too? Can I do that too?

Yes, this is possible too. Make sure to communicate clearly what the physical piece is and where the NFT points to.
