Beauty of rare traits. Applied to fine art 1/1 PFPs.

The foundation of the entire project lies in the 500 Mint IDs and the associated traits.

Start by looking at the official trait spreadsheet.

Traits include:

Facial expression

Spirit animal

Flower

Frame style

Eye color

Lip color

Every mint ID already has options selected for each trait. Some options are rare. Some are common. These were assigned randomly within the trait option frequency formula.

The rarity math and frequency formulas are all available in the spreadsheet.

Every Mint ID starts with a base price. This is the average price in ETH of the artists last 3 sales on a major platform. Column D.

A rarity multiple is then calculated and applied. Columns E - G.

If the piece is animated, a 1.2x animation multiple is applied. Column H.

Finally a remaining supply multiple is applied, which doesn't kick in until Mint ID 51. Column I.

The final price is listed in Column J.

Season 1 will exclusively be list prices. This is meant to be collector friendly by design. You want it. You buy.

We may use reserve auctions for subsequent Seasons. Or we may not.

I was lucky enough to interview over 100 artists earlier in 2021 as part of my crypto art blog. Built many relationships over that time, along with artists in my 1/1 collection.

Season 1 is by invite only to artists I am close with. 

Subsequent seasons will be open for applications and the project team and I will chat with all the applicants and make a decision about which artists are involved.

Yes.

Friend of the project @ArchanNair has provided the artists with stencils of the five facial expressions. While not a requirement to use, this will provide a base of consistency.

Additionally, the Halo is a critical trait in the project. Its size and position is fixed in every piece.  Because these works will be completed by different artists, the Halo provides a visual consistency across all the pieces that is easily recognizable to the community.

As a result, Personalities will be be identifiable at a glance.
