V2 Punks - a new interpretation of the situation around the punks versions, designed to close the gap between V1 and V3.
Yes, I’m perfectionist: v1punks.io > v2punks.io > v3punks.io > v4punks.io
Let’s go, green army!
V2 Punks minting (the first 1000 punks for 0.01 ETH (about US$ 30), remaining for 0.02 ETH (about US$ 60))
Let’s applaud Romero for bringing a fresh take on the V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, Classic vs Historic vs Antique vs Archaic saga.
Since we’re called V2, there’s some dual logic: some of the traits are original (gangsta) Matt & John’s® CryptoPunk attributes, hand-drawn by me pixel-by-pixel from original ones (however, even in this case, some colors have been changed so that it does not look “old and already pretty tired”).
That part of the traits takes us back in time, keeping the punks original vibe, expressing respect for an already established historical look. However, the punks have been re-generated, so the combination of these traits is different: what new combination you can get with just the original traits? The second part of the traits is completely new that bring a fresh look and make everyone’s favorite punks look renewed. For example, you can spot a punk with a black eye in left side and another punk with a laser beam out of his eyes. There are other fun traits that make punks look even cooler and funnier.
Wen roadmap?
What can we offer our HODLers? I really don’t want to do a shitty roadmap like giveaways and so on. Lots of ideas. There will be some derivative stories, maybe a mutation collection (though I guess everyone’s sick of that by now?) Well, we’ll come up with something fresh. We’ll be pioneers of something new. In general, as soon as we have a sold out, we will decide how to competently keep the course further. But I definitely want this to be a community-driven project, and we’ll adopt best practices from the best [non-fungible] token projects to run it efficiently and profitably.
What’s your take? Do you like the new punk look? Are you apeing in? Or are your waiting for V5?
Questions and comments welcome.
Who is Roman (also known as Romero)?
My name is Roman, I’m 25 year old, I’m from Russia. I’ve been a graphic designer since 2015 (my favorite is to create vintage logos, labels, badges, even fonts!), UX/UI Designer since 2020. I came to the [non-fungible] token space in March 2021, when the first [non-fungible] token boom happened. About a month earlier, I became generally interested in cryptocurrency as a means of investment and came into this amazing crypto world. I started my journey by creating single [non-fungible] tokens at the Foundation.app, but I realized that I want to embody my skills by creating my own crypto collection and uniting people with a common idea. Let’s see if it works! Yes, I am not a big influencer and not a famous person in crypto. With this project [- OctaCats -], I want to prove that even an ordinary person without enormous resources and costs can create a successful crypto project, adhering to a transparent and honest approach.
