BrainDance AMA
FEB 19, 2022
Today’s AMA was a lot more like a hangout with some questions asked. It was really fun to listen to and great to hear how Mr. Vogue (Jeriel). We played a game and gifted an exclusive NFT to a listener :
This AMA happened much earlier than normal to make it easier for Mr. Vogue, who is from the Philippines, to be able to attend.
This AMA summary will be less narrative. I have been asked to focus on the questions and answers more than the extra information. I hope you enjoy this. I suggest you listen to the entire thing to get some good insight into the personalities involved in the project.
Questions for Mr. Vogue:
Q: Can you tell us about your workflow/drawing pipeline?
A:
- From the descriptions in the Googledocs Mr.Lucid gives him, he takes the words and then Googles them and uses the definition to get creative inspiration
- Sketch on top of base character
o Sketch new pices
- Line art
- Coloring
- Shading
- Passes it to Lucid
Q: How do you produce the digital art?
A: With monitor that he draws on, its hooked up to his PC, and doubles as his monitor.
Q: How long does it take to finish a unique?
A:
- 2–3 hours, maybe more, dependingon how detailed the unique is and if he can find references
- Chibi form added with cyborg aspects
Q: Do you have any plans for the [cyborg] babies?
A:

A: A handful of unique NFTs and some background assets
Q: Jay, how do you feel about your exclusive art, do you like it?
A: Yeah, it actually looks like me.
Mr. Lucid says Mr. Vogues’s art is unparralled and that’s why he was chosen. Mr. Lucid complimented him by saying Mr. Vogue is capable of designing the NFTs with vague descriptions, as if he is in Mr. Lucid’s head. Mr. Lucid says he only asked for maybe two revisions the entire time.
Regular Q&A Session:
Q: In the game do characters have special powers or normal?
A: They have both, depending on character and it’s rarity
- If character is unique or rare, they have a special psychosis and will have special abilities in the game

A: No.
Q: Are there any instructions or education for NFT if you’re a newbie?
A: We have the NFT instruction channel you asked for last time.

A: That’s going happen, because of money.

A: Yes.

Q: What’s the next step after receiving the whitelist?
A: 10–15 min before mint starts , Mr. Lucid will mute the channels (to prevent spamming), and WL will get the mint password in the WL channel; they’ll get on the site, put in password, and then mint (max 2)
