Welcome to the Nintendo Prime Studio, and let's just start with the battle station. This is where all of the work gets done. Monitor's a little crooked. Here we go. This is where all of my editing gets done. We also do live streams. You can see the stream deck down there. You can see my Asbot. That is a camera that can follow you. It's robotic. It's not obviously following right now because it's not set to. You can see it's pointed down at my chair. But yeah, this is where I do all of my editing. Also some light PC gaming when I get a chance. You can come over here and see some of my accessories. I think we got the Corsair K70, I believe. That's what the keyboard is. I've had multiple Corsair keyboards, so I forget. And then obviously we got a Corsair wireless mouse here. Over here we've got some general remotes. This remote here is kind of cool because this is what controls the Nintendo Prime sign. So you can go off or on. Maybe it's not working right now. In fact, there's no batteries in it. That could be why. Anyways, I got two of those remotes, so I've got to find the other one. Down here we've got just some really basic Logitech speaker system back there. Nothing too fancy or expensive. Up here we've got some key lights. These are not Elgato ones. These are some off-brand ones, but obviously they work really well for streaming. They especially work well because now we got this. A pull-down green screen. So whenever I'm doing game stream events or if I'm reacting to a Nintendo Direct and I want to get rid of my background, I can use this. I can also go to the other side because a slightly different shade of green, but actually does work on camera and I could use it as a, hey, I'm a Nintendo Prime.  And what I like about it is it's so simple to put back up. You just pull on it again and it automatically retracts. Now this is a green screen from Elgato over here. This is their big boy one. The big boy pull-down screen. Focus in there. Well, I won't because of the light, but yeah, that is a big boy. All right. Now here comes to the section that you guys barely ever see. This is our LG 32-inch monitor. We use this on the podcast set, as you can see right here when it wants to focus. This monitor is used to put our guest up on. We also put our streaming software up here.  And it kind of sits right above the camera, which is right there. We obviously spin around right now. The camera and the studio light are pointed at our other set. We have our second light here. So basically one of these lights is pointed at Eric, this one, and this light gets pointed at me. And that's how we light each other up. And then the glare on the TV doesn't really happen since the lights are directed at Eric and myself. So it hits us. It doesn't hit the TV. It's blocked out on camera. We turn off this light.   And so is the sign. So it ends up with almost no glare and looks really, really good on camera. So we're really happy with how this set turned out, even though there's some more work that needs to be done. Down here is kind of a mess of cables. It's probably the only mess of cables you'll see in here. We do have some cable management going on across the ceiling and all this. Some of this mess will be cleaned up a bit. We're waiting because if you guys can't tell, we got a new floor in here and that's created more echo, which is why we kept this soundproofing wall up here from our old set. We just filled in the missing spot where there was a TV before because we need to reduce the echo a little bit. And one thing that's going to help is we have a giant plush rug coming that all of this equipment is going to sit on top of. And that's going to actually help create or really fix a lot of the echo in here. We're not against putting some sound paneling and stuff on the ceilings. Over here, this wall, here's going to actually have some canvas art. Unfortunately, the art we want is on back order. That's really, really unfortunate. If we have to go with something else, we will, but things are really hard to get sometimes and that sometimes includes right now. Over here is just kind of our little storage area for now. We got some cleaning supplies, a bucket here, Mr. Pumpkin, all that. So coming on over this way, we have our other set. This is just kind of an extra chair if we ever need to sit down and watch that TV over there because sometimes we're in here working and want to watch some sports. We got a fan here. This fan is specifically to cool our Lumix G9. This is our main shooter. You can kind of see the lens looks a little bit dirty. I'm going to have to clean that. Anyways, so this cools and we usually have to shoot it at the back of the camera when we're doing live streams. This is a Comica wireless mic system that we use right here. Here's another one. I'm going to do these that I use on this set in particular because I just like to keep it wireless. We do have a cable run that potentially go over there if we want to use a more professional, more, I don't want to say professional, a better sounding system. But for right now, we don't have anything set up. This is our neon signs that say Nintendo Prime. My fiancee surprised me with those. They're not really cable-entered at well at the moment. I'll have to figure something out for that. Plus I want to get some panels. I didn't have enough to fill in this section here, so we might have to buy some more panels just to fill in that section. This is our giant whiteboard. But to do this, you guys can kind of get a peek at some of the sponsored content. I already did the March 4th one. I got to cross that one off. The March 7th, that's coming up here tomorrow. Best Buy partnership. You guys will hear all about that soon. Down here we got some general stuff. This is just some more cable runs. These are some power supplies for some 25-foot cables that we have because they need extra power to maintain the signal integrity. You can see we don't have everything cable run yet. This is a cable run right here that literally says Mike Brick. I don't know if you guys can see that. Mike Brick would be over here, so if we're running a sound thing over here, but the problem is this cable is not long enough, so we need to get a 25-footer to run it all the way across. That's what that power supplies are for. Here we got our live stream kind of booze cart here. It's funny, we put the rubbing alcohol in the alcohol section. These are the video streaming key lights I talked about that I got. This is the battery for this camera over there. I only have one. I probably should get some more of those. This is the battery for a Lumix G7 that I no longer have. This is the Scarlett Solo that's going to go on this set once I get everything cable run. Extra switch cord here, extra dock, joy-cons. All that. Blue Mountain Sage is right over here. There's the old Xbox and PlayStation signs that currently don't have a spot in our set, and then these are what cable runs an extra supply for that ring-fit adventure. Batteries, we go through a ton of AA batteries with the wireless microphone set up. This is just kind of a general overview. Look at this. Back here is just some general storage. It's not really organized. Well, believe it or not, you can actually move in here better than before. This is just from setting up the leftover things. We have all our Nintendo Prime merch over here that I need to get organized and up on this shelf. This is the tool area. Again, needs to be organized. Again, this is all kind of a, hey, let's just put things in here. I figured out this is the giveaway bucket actually right here. Well, bunch of stuff to give away. So yeah, we're rocking in here. This is looking really, really clean, really, really nice. I like how everything turned out. As you can see, our other room is not set up yet. That's for my children and my fiance. I don't know why we have this little, the littlest duckling book sitting here. Anyway, so yeah, that's just kind of a general look at how things work here. Now I will note this monitor right now isn't working. We ran this HDMI cable, this really long one, but it's on a converter cable off the back of the computer because I don't have any extra HDMI ports. And for some reason, not working. So I got to sort that out. I'm probably going to end up ordering a display port, 15-foot cable, and run that over there instead. But first, I'm going to try switching this monitor here if it's running off HDMI to the converter cable and see if it's just, it can't handle the converter cable over such a long length or if there's an issue with my HDMI cable or what's going on. I don't know. I'm going to figure that all out here. That's the next thing because we need this working for the next podcast because we're going to have a guest on. Don't worry about this cable falling here. Again, this is because it hasn't been put into this channel yet because we are waiting to run additional cables. So anyways, that is the setup. I hope you guys like it. We've had a lot of issues with certain cable runs. We ended up having to run a cable here that used to be run over there. See that red cable? That's what this one was supposed to be, but for some reason it didn't work. Probably because the cable run was too long, signal integrity. You won't believe these crazy lights we have on here. These are actually like $300 special lights that can react to music. There's a bundle of them just sitting down there. Yeah, it's, there's the Xbox Series S and Link and Apple TV. It's kind of a, it's kind of a hodgepodge in here. We do the best we can with what we got. Again, some more stuff to come. We do plan to upgrade our camera while this camera is absolutely amazing. The Lumix G9 is nice. The overheating problem has become an issue on several of our longer shows, especially at E3. So we are probably going to end up getting the Sony A7 Mark IV. And that plus lenses, it's going to run $2,500 to $3,000. And this will just end up being a secondary camera that's not on all the time that we just use for alternative angles and stuff like that. So if for some reason it's switched to the alternative angle and that camera doesn't work, we can just go back to the wide view. But yeah, you can tell that's a really expensive purchase. Now I could obviously go with the cheaper camera from Canon, which Canon cameras are that cheap, or go with the Lumix G7 again. But then we're downgrading. We'd rather always, if we're going to buy a new piece of equipment, we want to upgrade over what we're already using. We don't want to ever go backwards. So yes, that's our next step up. And because I don't have any lenses specifically for a Sony camera, obviously I have to get the lenses and all that as well. So that's a whole other purchase to worry about in the future, isn't it guys? Money that we don't have right now. So we're just going to deal with the best we got. And that is the Nintendo Prime Studio. Oh, somebody will wonder why I said that I have like five sets. So that is set number one for the podcast. Set number two, you see me doing my standard videos. Plus we have this swing arm here to do unboxings and top down. So basically just put the phone here, we swing it over and it's about right here and then it's top down and we can do unboxings and other stuff like that. That's what this arms for. You guys don't see it on camera very often. This set number three is right here with the pull down green screen. We can also call it set three without it up for the streaming purposes. Set four is the backside of the green screen. So we can use that as like a, hey, you know, I'm on green screen. And then set five that I talked about is back here. So you guys remember my gaming collection? I didn't get rid of it. It's all right here. And basically set five would be a shot that's like this or in the corner like this. Again, none of this is organized right now. A lot of my gaming collection stuff. But this would be a set. We just got to get all this cleaned up. And yeah, it'll have these ugly green walls. But you know what? Sometimes you got to kick it old school and these walls have been green for a lot of time. You just need to be yellow. So you can see yellow, green, campus. That was a Green Bay Packer theme in here at one point my fiance painted, but all right. That is the studio tour. And there is my youngest son making a line of books because you know, he just likes to keep the mess going. All right folks, I'll catch you later.


Welcome to the second talk. This morning, with me is Nick Weiser. He's going to explain to us what WordPress, WAPUs and Web3 have in common or don't. For those who don't know yet what these things are, except for WordPress, obviously you're at the WordPress conference. Give it up for Nick. Good morning. Hi, my name is Nick. Today I'm going to be speaking about WordPress, WAPUs and Web3.  One-fourth, maybe. So for those who don't know, WAPU is the little animal character, which is the official, unofficial mascot of WordPress. So there you see it. That's WAPU holding the Zurich Canton flag. It's a little bit about me. It's been almost 20 years since I founded OpenStream in Zurich, and I started going to meetups where I discovered my passion for open-source software. I'm involved in organizing the Zurich WordPress and WooCommerce meetups, and I'm also a regular attendee of Crypto Mondays and other Web3 meetups in Zurich. Online you can find me on Twitter, on Tumblr and Macedon, although I'm most active on Twitter, and I write about Web2 and Web3 technology on OpenStream.ch. Again, by a quick show of hands, who knows what digital collectibles or NFTs are? And who owns an NFT? Okay, that's two people. Great potential. And who owns any cryptocurrency? Okay, a little more. Great. Very cool. So the question I want to start with is, can artists, content creators and brands really do anything useful with digital collectibles, or is it just another hype? So if you ask Professor of Computer and Information Science Marcel Waldvogel, who holds a PhD from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, better known in Swiss German as Etihad Zurich, his answer is that NFTs have no real value and that as a young artist you can also become visible without NFTs, but through hype, PR and celebrities. He also seems to be a critic of cryptocurrencies and Web3 technology in general. So I agree that a web page which is ideally built with open-source software like WordPress is a great way for aspiring artists to showcase and sell physical art. In 2023, though, this is not enough and we have to acknowledge that there is also digital-only art that digital non-natives have a hard time wrapping their heads around. Many young artists nowadays showcase their art on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok because they can reach a much bigger audience, much faster than with the traditional website. Or if we take the art of musical expression, many smaller artists struggle to make a living from making their music available on Spotify, on Apple Music, because the middleman like record labels, distributors and streaming platforms profit the most. Professor Bald Fogler is very critical about the hype around NFTs and also warns about the dangers of hypercapitalism. But on the other hand, in my opinion, this new blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt many industries and cut out the middleman in favor of the artists and content creators themselves. Personally, I don't think that Web 2 will be replaced by Web 3, but I can imagine that they will both evolve and overlap in many ways that we're going to be surprised about. Initially you asked, so what is Web 3? To put it simply, Web 3 is sort of like decentralized applications. Web 2 is centralized applications that you host on a server, on a web hosting, and Web 3 applications, they are decentralized, meaning they don't live on one single server, they live on a network of computers and therefore they are more resilient. Decentralized applications don't make sense for all use cases, but when it comes to digital art, I think that NFTs are a very fascinating playground. Yeah, here's a list of different projects I'm going to quickly explain. There's many more, as you can see, but I want to start off with Quantum, which is a digital-only piece of artwork created by Kevin McCoyne. It consists of a series of algorithmically generated images that are stored as an NFT on Namecoin, which is a pre-Ethereum Bitcoin blockchain. It consists of a series of algorithmically... I said that already. I'd like to quickly show you the artwork followed by a two-and-a-half-minute video of the artist himself explaining the meaning behind it. So I want to let you get hypnotized by that for a second. I've been doing this kind of work, digital work, media work for a long time, probably 25 years. My work's been in the collections of museums like MoMA, the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum, as well as other institutions around the US and Europe. I've always worked with media in one form or another. Sometimes that work takes the form of video installations. Sometimes it looks like kinetic sculpture. And sometimes it's code-driven works. But throughout all of those different forms, it's always been a question of looking at how meaning is put together, how things come to mean what they do mean, and the role that technology and code-driven systems plays in that process, in terms of creating the meaning of words, the meaning of memories, the meaning of experiences that we're all living with right now. The work in the show is called Quantum, and it's from 2014. It's an animation that's made entirely out of code. So in that sense, I'd call it generative work, generative artwork. But it's also an optical work and a process-oriented work. And so in that sense, it draws from earlier efforts from artists like Saul LeWitt, like Victor Vasserly, like Bridget Riley. But the effect of it from a kind of experience level is more mysterious than that. And so that pulsing light, that kind of hidden world that seems to be being born endlessly with that piece, really is inspired by the work of science fiction writer Philip K. Dick and how in his book, Valles, the role of the pink light to create this experience of memory and this experience of information. That's something that I was thinking a lot about in the creation of Quantum. Quantum is the first autonomous work, the first artwork that was inscribed into a blockchain. And that happened in May of 2014. And that traces back the previous year, in 2013, when I discovered Bitcoin and blockchain technology. And I thought about how the scarcity mechanism that Bitcoin presented could be a way for digital artists to create provenance and ownership systems around digital works. It was a pretty abstract idea at the time and no one really understood what I was talking about. But when I finally put the pieces together to do an initial effort with that, Quantum seemed like the perfect piece to do that with. So one could argue that like Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon marked the beginning of the era of Cubism in July 1907, McCoy's Quantum minted on the blockchain on the 2nd of May 2014 at 9.27 p.m. and 34 seconds marks the beginning of the era of Anoptism. It stands alone in the precision of its timestamp, immutably, verifiably, trustlessly pure. Blockchain, when stripped to its bones, could be described as humanity's latest innovation in the humble art of record keeping. I'm not going to go into the details of all these projects on the left side. So just two more that are historically important. And then back to the WordPress metaverse. Cryptopunks is a series of 10,000 unique 8-bit style pixel art characters that were created and released as NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain in 2017 and became one of the inspirations for the ERC721 standard. Each Cryptopunk has its own distinct combination of attributes such as hairstyles, accessories and facial expressions, which are randomly generated. Cryptopunks quickly gained popularity within the cryptocurrency and blockchain communities and have since become highly sought after collectibles. Due to their limited number, unique characteristics, perceived value, and the ability to verify ownership on the blockchain, some Cryptopunks have sold for millions of dollars at auction. Talking about hypercapitalism. Some of the most notable dropped in 2021, the board AB Yacht Club is a collection of unique digital art pieces in the form of 10,000 cartoon style apes, each with its own distinct attributes and personalities. The board AB Yacht Club has become a highly popular and valuable NFT collection with some individual apes selling for millions of dollars. The club has also spawned a vibrant online community of collectors and enthusiasts who create and share art, music and other content inspired by the board AB aesthetic. As a board AB Yacht Club NFT holder, you're also entitled to several perks and benefits. Some of the most notable are, first, you have access to members only events, merchandise and community chat channels. Second, there are occasional parties on yachts, gatherings and meetups. Third, there are air drops with additional tokens for existing NFT holders. Fourth, exclusive partnerships and collaborations with other brands, artists and creators. And fifth, participation in governance decisions to shape the future of the community. So now let's get back to what all this has to do with WordPress. In 2021, Web3WP built a generative art project of 2,222 unique vapus that can be minted as an NFT collected and traded by the WordPress community on the Ethereum blockchain. So you can collect your favorite vapu for fun, or show it off, or show your collection to your friends in the WordPress community, make your favorite, your profile avatar, and are the provable owner, so you get the bragging rights. And every time they are traded, half of the royalties go to the WordPress foundation, a charitable organization founded by Matt Maumweck to further the mission of WordPress. Anybody knows what the mission of WordPress is? Nobody heard that. To democratize publishing through open-source software. The first NFT that I personally minted in 2021 was vapu number 693 called Vapusher. It came with a secret one-time use code for a one-year free WP pusher membership. And WP pusher lets you deploy your plugins and themes directly from GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab and never again copy files over FTP. Web3WP collaborated with various companies from the WordPress ecosystem in order to generate brand excitement. Some Web3WP vapus contain unlockable content that only the owner of the vapu NFT is able to unlock by signing with their Web3 wallet. So in 2021, Web3WP set out to build a programmatic generator that creates completely unique vapu characters based on a random set of more than 100 trades. Very similar to what the Board Ape project did and the CryptoPunks. And also similar to what McCoy did when he created this animation from code. So the trades are weighted to have various rarities which makes the rarer vapus highly collectable and more valuable. When you mint your vapu, it is completely random. You may get one with a common or rare combination of trades. And if you are really lucky, you might be the proud owner of a special edition vapu from one of their community sponsors. Around Christmas 2021, inspired by the Web3WP vapu project, I had the idea of creating a Swiss vapu NFT collection. I started brainstorming ideas of various Swiss city vapus together with France, a designer from the Philippines, and the Swiss WordPress community on Slack. So based on this beautiful logo which is worked by Claudio Riemann, we started developing a new Zurich vapu. We added the landmark of Zurich, the Gross Münster, and converted the lions into vapu-like cartoon characters. So the initial idea was to create vapus for those cities in Switzerland that have an active WordPress community and an active WordPress meetup. This is a sketch of the Bern vapu with a Bundeshauskuppel on the head, the Kentons flag and other properties associated with Switzerland's capital. Here an early draft of the Ticino vapu that we didn't complete yet with a Bellinzona castle and an Italian-ish moustache. When we started organizing WorkCamp Switzerland 2023, I volunteered to create a new conference vapu. This is the WorkCamp Switzerland 2014 vapu, also designed by Claudio Riemann. Since it would be taking place here at Lake Morton, we thought that it could be a fisher vapu holding a fish. Then Michel or Mark, don't remember exactly, suggested that since it's taking place on April 1st, it could be holding red herrings because in English you can see April herrings for April Fool's pranks. We also thought about integrating Claudio's Swiss army knife blades, but I dropped the idea because it sort of was too noisy. This is the final version that we agreed on that you can see on the Switzerland, the WorkCamp Switzerland website, on the t-shirt and on the stickers. So back to the NFT project. The initial idea was to create a generative NFT art project with different Swiss items and trades to programmatically generate different combinations of vapus. Web3WP published their trade generator and all the code they used for their project on GitHub. But since I'm not writing code on a day-to-day basis, I soon realized that I'm running out of time if I wanted to release something for WorkCamp Switzerland 2023 on April 1st. We had developed over 50 unique trades for the Swiss vapu collection, so we could easily have generated a couple hundred unique vapus. Instead, I decided to start with a first collection of only 27 vapus. One holding the Swiss flag and the other holding the various Canton flags. But we also have plans to finalize the city vapus with different combinations of attributes. You can find the Swiss NFT Vapu collection at OpenSea, the world's first and largest Web3 marketplace for NFTs and crypto collectibles. On the slide, you see the eight out of 27 vapus with an active WordPress Meetup in Switzerland. They have a Meetup logo next to them. So let's do a little quiz. Who recognizes one of the flags? Any Swiss people here? Vaux? Very good. Barnia, very easy with a bear, bottom right. If you know where the active meetings are in Switzerland, you can also guess which ones they are. The top left is Fribourg, Canton of Fribourg. Then we have Geneva, Schaffhausen, St. Gallen, Ticino, and Zurich, the blue and white one. And here you can see the Canton vapus of dormant or inactive WordPress Meetups. So which are Lucerne, Neuchâtel, and Basel City. Inactive Meetup means that there was a Meetup in the past, but right now there are no active Meetups. And so this whole little vapu art project is also meant to be inspiring WordPress users and developers from Switzerland to join a WordPress Meetup in their area to help revive a dormant Meetup or to start a new Meetup in one of the cantons that don't have a Meetup yet. If you go to the detailed page of any of these 27 vapus on OpenSea, you will see that they contain unlockable content. This means that if you make an offer with at least 10 Swiss francs or 0.006 Ether for one of those vapus, you will receive a t-shirt in your size with the exact vapu printed on it. Since 10 Swiss francs will actually not cover the full expenses, you can of course also make a bigger offer. But you also have to consider that there will be so-called gas fees, which depending on the day might add another two to eight Swiss francs to each transaction. So I'd like to inspire all of you who are curious to learn more about Web3 to make an offer for one of those 27 vapus. Another idea behind this project is to onboard WordPress users and developers to the Web3 universe. And as I said before, there's a lot of potential here. Only one NFT holder so far in this room. And all attendees of work at Switzerland will have priority for the next seven days. After that, the collection will be opened up to the rest of the Swiss community and worldwide. So I have no intention to enrich myself with this project. All the profits will be used to print the t-shirts, to pay the artwork, and to ship the t-shirts. And if there's anything left, it will be used to support the Swiss WordPress community and meet-ups. If you're not familiar with using a Web3 wallet like MetaMask or have any other questions, I'll try my best to answer them in a second. But before I open up for questions, I wanted to show you another short video, a very important one about how to stay safe in Web3. To be excited about Web3 technologies like blockchain, crypto, and NFTs. But like any new technology, it's important to know what to look out for. Nowadays, we all know not to click that. You won $10,000 pop-up on the website, I hope. But in the early days of the internet, it was hard to know. Since Web3 is so new, let's walk through some tips. First, never give anyone access to your wallet. Don't share your seed phrase or password with anyone. And make sure to store your login information in a safe place that no one else can access. Second, never click links you don't fully trust. Bad actors may put unsafe links in direct messages, social media posts, emails, and websites. Only click links on a project's official social media or OpenC page. Third, if you receive an NFT for free from someone you don't recognize, be wary of it. In these situations, you should avoid engaging with the creator's links or downloading any unlockable content from the NFT. Fourth, evaluate the NFT's authenticity. Make sure the original creator of the NFT is correct. At OpenC, we've implemented technologies to reduce counterfeits. Of course, you still need to evaluate the project yourself to determine whether an NFT is authentic. Fifth, look at the activity and analytics tabs on OpenC to learn more about the price and sale history of an NFT collection. Finally, trust your gut. Navigate this space with your best judge and remember that if something appears too good to be true, it very likely is. Those are some quick tips to help you stay safe in Web3. See you out there. Alright, if you want to have a look at the slides or one of the slides again, you can find them in this address. Thank you very much for your attention. Any comments, questions? There's still time left, so if there are no questions, I can also give a... Oh, there's one question. It's a bit too far to throw. So, my name is Alexandru Filipezco and I will soon finish my master's doing computer science at the University of Bern. And I have two questions actually. I'm wondering then, you said that you can get the cryptopunks or those monkey NFTs in different ways. I'm not sure if you mind them and you get a random one or if they are already minded and you will receive a random one after you pay. But the question is, could that be considered as gambling, for example, because if you pay and you don't know what you will get? No, I wouldn't say it's gambling. Well, in a way it could be said it's gambling. I don't know exactly how they were minted, but they're all gone. They've all been minted and so you can probably buy them now on OpenSea, but the minting is only when you initially sort of get the NFT. Manufactured them, yeah. And so I would compare it with buying Pokemon cards in a little package and you don't know what's inside. So you rip it open and you have five cards and then you might have one very rare one and three other ones or football stickers and stuff like that. I'm not sure why I was thinking of the CSGO game where you open the cases with the keys and you get a random skin. And now the second question would be, I think it's a great way to use NFTs to support, for example, artists because you remove the intermediary, right? But now the question would be how can the owner of the NFT, the person that buys it, the art collector, let's say, how can he appreciate the artwork like in comparison of how it was originally made? Like with the painting on the wall, how can he put it in his house like the art that he has on the PC? Well, there are definitely traditional collectors who wouldn't want to have a digital artwork, but there's also many collectors who like digital artwork. What some artists do, when they offer their NFTs, they offer an art print. So if you buy their art, you get a special hand signed art print also when you buy the NFT. And then you can sort of combine it with physical art as well. That's one idea. Or maybe a big TV on the wall. If you have a TV or a digital frame or something, then you could show it there. And of course you have to think maybe ahead, talking about the metaverse and things like that. If you're in the metaverse and you have some artwork, it's all going to be digital. So you could show off your digital art in the metaverse, which is sort of like for the next generation. The metaverse that was made by Mark Zuckerberg, which one? Whichever one. There are so many metaverses. There are so many online games, and each online game is its own metaverse. And many of these platforms already allow you to show your NFT in that metaverse. Okay, thank you. Thank you a lot. Any other questions? More questions? What time does the next... or when is coffee break? Coffee break is at... in 10 minutes. 10 minutes. So, there's one other question. Thank you. Have a small single question regarding NFTs. Is it possible to create whole photos as NFT or just those small little tiny mappos? No, I think on an OpenSea the limit for NFTs is 100 megabyte. So you could upload an image that is 100 megabyte. You could upload a video as an NFT that is up to 100 megabyte. So, yeah, it could be a photo as well. Okay, good. Thank you. Any more questions? So, for those who are interested, I could give a little live demo since we have five minutes left. Those who want to leave already, feel free to leave.  Or maybe also explain a little bit. What I try to do first is actually... I try to do a drop on OpenSea, which is where you can mint a Vapu, where you don't know which Vapu you will get. But since this is a little bit more complicated and you have to pride a metadata server or API, I wasn't able to finish this until today. So I just put them on there, and that's why you sort of have to make an offer and then it gets transferred on your wallet. So, what I did is... I was talking about Ethereum, but this... So this collection is actually not on the Ethereum blockchain. It is on the Polygon blockchain. So, if you go... I'd say... Jura, you go to this NFT, then on the top, you will see this is the Polygon blockchain. The reason why I didn't put it on Ethereum is that the transaction fees are very high, and so on Polygon, it's easier, it's not so high, and if you sell the Vapu later on, it won't create such high transaction costs. So this is going to be a little tricky. So before you can make an offer here, you need a wallet like MetaMask, which is a browser plugin, and you need to connect this with OpenSea. I already did this, so I can show you this, and then there's a little icon, the wallet, which shows you what you hold in your wallet. In US dollars, they don't have Swiss francs. And then you see this is Ethereum. It's a little difficult to do like that, just one second. That's easier. So the first thing, of course, you need the wallet, and then you need some Ether. So once you have the wallet installed, you can go to this wallet here on OpenSea directly, and then add Ether, which will allow you to deposit some crypto or buy it with a credit card. Then the next thing you have to do is you have to bridge the Ether from the Ethereum blockchain to the polygon blockchain. This may sound a little intimidating, but you have to remember we're early in Web3, and so it's not that easy. You need to have some basic technical understanding, but I think if you do it directly on OpenSea, it's quite user-friendly as compared to if you do it with MetaMask directly, because I got lost with that myself. So I'm going to show you, I already added the Ethereum, so I'm going to show you how to bridge that Ether from the Ethereum blockchain to the polygon blockchain. If you want to check the rates, you can go to Google, type in 20 Swiss francs in ETH, and you'll see that's currently 0.012 ETH. So that's what I put in here. And then I click on Convert Tokens. You will automatically select polygon down here. Then you'll see the amount, and below here you'll see the gas fee, which is four and a half dollars. Then you confirm. So transaction complete, transferred successfully, and now actually I have to wait a couple of minutes before, well you see there is some ETH already here, worth ten dollars, but it will take a couple of minutes before it shows up here. You can try to refresh the funds. So it takes a couple of minutes, so I don't want to keep you waiting, so I'm going to do the next step here. You click on Make Offer. This is an unreviewed collection, but you can just double check. If you go here you'll see this is the OpenStream website. There's a Discord channel also. If you have any questions after the event, you can just ask me anything you want. I'm also on Twitter. And then you put your price. I would now put the 20 bucks, but let's see, well now I have enough. Let's see. I put the duration of the offer, and then I click on Make Offer, and now you just have to wait. That's basically it. I'm going to show you. Oh it doesn't show. Well that's basically how you do it. It's two steps, or three, depending if you already have ETHR. So I hope that was helpful. And have a great rest of the conference. Thank you very much.


Hello, and welcome back to the craft box. My name's Brenton today on episode 59 of the wizard 101 death walkthrough Last episode if you haven't checked it out. We entered the plaza of conquests and today We're talking to more of a flame one So you've come to learn the greatest of arts the art of war You don't look very impressive, but I'm hoping that you've got some hidden reserve of strength I am the master of defense here in dragon spire. I teach the means of protection a shield It's just as much a weapon as the sword You need to think of defensive magic as another form of attack in that your foes attack You can't rely at all on one kind of defense A cunning enemy will switch attacks to overcome your protection You must be quick to change tactics based on what is happening in the battle Think of it as a game of battle ball your shield must always be moving to reflect back the attack I could spend years teaching you about defense But time is short if you haven't grasped the basics you're hopeless Meet me in my tower and we'll see what you picked up Okay Don't need you I'll keep that in for now. We'll get a couple of feints.  We probably want to get a couple three three Two of you just in case two of you I mean that looks Pretty reasonable. We'll yeah head on and then we'll see if they need a death prison. I don't think they do But I don't know I don't know Four three two one Hello Let us go Hello What do you don't get cocky young wizard you've learned the art of the attack But what happens when you cannot land an attack on your opponent?

We've got one more protection pox that I need to get out ASAP I'll probably use poison on this one just because it's got a shield Look a new death shield Yeah, I mean, I'll probably use poison on the boss to start with as well blade And Power pot plus Okay, that's fine. I Mean we'll play it again just because we can Like yeah, you really got to get these guys are ASAP you can't miss it out Because obviously as you can see this shields just keep stacking and stacking and stacking and then there's no way to you know kind of like Do anything you're basically just suffocating in shields Look another one they shield every single time. Oh Another death one. Yeah, you're definitely getting poisoned Okay, please get a power pot. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you finally Okay, this should kill that Hopefully and the next couple of rounds Two blades should be good We'll double blade and then poison again and then we'll double blade faint and hit Hopefully we have another poison that I put two or three in I might have messed up here Really another one. Okay, that's just annoying. Please have another poison somewhere Do I I don't even know how many poisons I put in Hopefully I put in more than one The only use one Yeah, I've been part of them. Yeah, I should have I'm not worried about dying Yep, there we go.  Thank God Okay, and what do we got? What do we got poison place? No, okay, that's cool I Mean we're just gonna Just cut a couple of you we're gonna blade and Hope for a poison. I mean, I'm just gonna blade until I Get it. So At least I know I can hit straight away once up. There we go. Thank the Lord. Yeah, I know poison isn't gonna do too much but Yeah, I knew that when I was deciding my strategy So, you know, it's fine I'm slowly getting me down Thank you blade, okay I'm low key worried about what she's gonna do Low key very worried actually 78, okay, I Know I'm not gonna be able to kill probably but with just poison. So I am going to Wait for my next move Might heal but don't know how many more blades I have 200 that's actually a bit Okay, this could kill me I may have played this all wrong Okay, bloody cards not coming for me. I've got a heal so I can always heal I might just vampire Just cuz I can just to get a bit of help. Yeah, I need help desperately No, not quite dead nearly Do We did cut through all the shields. I didn't know so That's cool. We'll put a bit of health.  I Mean this kills. So yeah, that's cool. It kills. That's good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good as long as she doesn't kill me Okay, good.  There we go We did it with 551 health left. Okay Yep, that was good. Oh, man That was actually a challenge. I'll give them that those quite challenging Load thank you. Hello guardian you I'm impressed. You've got an instinct for saving your own hide That's a good thing Surviving a battle is the most important part Got an instinct for saving your own hide.  Um, we have a mark. Don't we? Yes, we do Let's use the mark then Hello, the master of defense is a harsh task master, but if you're here now, it means you learn something good You're not finished yet. Oh Even the strongest warrior cannot squeeze blood from a stone But a student to his wise can get knowledge from a statue this statue is one of our greatest enemies Gerox shaleheart he and his army of earth elementals fought our armies to a standstill on the plane of shattered shields And for that we honor him among our you must summon and defeat in Gerox greatest champion in combat to show that you're capable of Upholding the proud military tradition of dragon spire go to the crystal stand and place this crystal upon it Concentrate for a moment this spirit stored within it will then manifest in physical form. Okay, let us do this then Yeah, this this is gonna be interesting Is he life?  Yeah, here's okay Well, I'm poison then I Gotta love life bosses. They're so quick to just Just Shield, I don't even I can't even speak Okay, two blades and we'll poison 5-1 okay, and we can officially Do that so I mean I want to enchant it by heal shouldn't need a heal If I do we can always hit so that's cool We'll do this What's good about poison is like the shield only counts for the first Damage which is shit anyway, so we're still gonna get a lot of damage for the next The next couple of rounds like look at that. He's going down He doesn't know it yet, but he's going down.  Don't do this to me. It's a matter of time, man Okay, I was about to say don't you dare did you know?  We're gonna just pass a couple times to get wet and to get it Hopefully we trade out this one pick for power, but it would be fantastic I'm a weakness Thanks, man So so what I hate their weakness so much. I did not trade it out for a powerful. They're so stuck on three pills Which is unfortunate. We're just gonna pass a couple times Um, so I don't really want to discard anything. So yeah, we'll we'll be able to hit next. That's fine 271 nice You've got some good damage the earth element tool Not as good as mine Watch this man Okay Let's see how much this does here's like three five thousand so any damage is good damage here 2800 okay, that's good That's really good damage And we're back to full health again 367, okay We're all played Hopefully we can Wraith again Would be great and we should kill if we can Okay, and what else do we have here? We have a discard. We got a wraith, which is good I got another one which is even better. I'm just gonna do this again might as well Taking a risk to get a bit of pips and We're gonna need to wait until we get another blade or a faint or something along those lines Weakness seriously, man. I think I discarded my want it. Yeah, I did You annoyance Oh well, it's fine Hello storm shark, okay We're in a really good place. So we're not gonna die too Which is good. It did 400 but I left it quite a lot um Really? Really? You're not giving me anything.   What a surprise I am going to have to poison. That is a shame um What blades do I have on what we're gonna do is we're gonna get off the weakness Then we're gonna poison um Yeah, that sounds like a good idea dream Fantastic idea JK he put that weakness right back on me. Haha. Okay. I see how it is um Now now I get blade and faint.  Thanks a lot game Yeah, oh well, that's fine. It'll do a bit of damage It'll do a bit Which is good Another weakness. Okay good.  Okay, um blade I said blade I'm not too worried because he'll die. He'll be a bit soon. Don't worry. That's fine He's just being a bit stubborn Oh Okay, keep shielding death. That's cool Um, you know what we go first so we want to do this. I think this is last time But could be wrong. Actually, no, it's gonna use it now.   You're great I was right. It was the last time Oh, you're gonna heal now. Okay. I see how it is Okay, I mean this hill doesn't do much so that's fine. Uh, let's just go ham This isn't gonna do too much, but we have another blade and a faint so we can always vampire Just spam vampire spam wraith. We've got them all so that's cool We should be fine This will still do a lot He may or may not be dead. I don't know. I know where it really fell off again He's not dead. This is cool Sweet that only took a wee while Whoo Okay, next up. Who do we do next? Hello Excellent He was among Geralt's greatest warriors. I fought him to a standstill on the battlefield and now you put him in his place Though we have dragon spider up proud. We are not foolish Though we prefer open and direct fights. We are not ignorant that our enemies will use magical traps to defeat us So now a part of the course of studies here is to learn the ways of traps You must learn these lessons well in order to face dronic the shrouded wizard Okay, I'll be back when I'm at um sender sender sender sender sender sender Okay, I am back So you've come to learn the methods of strategic warfare fighting with the brain and not just your wound I'm the master strategy here in dragon spire And it's my duty to see that our students are fully versed with the means of using traps effectively in combat Each spell you cast could be your last So you should make them as effective as you can A trap makes your foe take more damage So why wouldn't you cast one the ultimate goal of combat is to remove your foe from the field of battle And the trap is a shortcut to that end. You've used traps before I'm certain But this is where you learn to use them. Well, brace yourself. This might sting a little Okay, let us hit on him Luckily it's just traps. So it's not as bad as the other one Not as bad as shields, but um, does he have protection for walks? He might He definitely has some sort of box. Is it protection?  I'll grant you that But let us see how you fair against one who spent his lifetime mastering the use of traps Just because your eyes doesn't mean you always have to use traps. Um, okay Let's do that I mean I mean, let's just do it. Let's just do it. We'll hope this does well Same deck as before. Um, you know, it'll be fine. It'll be fine, right? I went first. That is fan Has stick honestly um You know what seven eight five Seven hundred and eighty five Seven hundred and eighty dead Is that a blade? Could not be a tower shield. Good Is that a blade? Could not be a tower shield Is that a blade? Could not be a tower shield Good Okay, hopefully this guy's dead already. That'll be fantastic Oh, he's not dead. That's unfortunate. Oh well We have a um Want to probably do we do we no we don't okay. That's cool as well We'll do this. Um, yeah, we'll do this Four hundred, okay Blade I mean if they blade each other these guys don't attack.  That's when it gets really dangerous um Yeah, okay I get it.  It's fine. But still Just chill man Okay, um Hmm I mean they're not gonna Shield so it's fine. We can do that I mean, there's two ways we could do this We could even get out the boss first and then worry about the other guys later because it's not gonna do much Or we could get these guys out first and then think about the boss. I think I'm gonna do boss first Just so then I can't take any damage while I'm trying to kill The other two who are like desperately in need of death Um, yeah, we'll do that.  Pulse Okay, that's not too bad. That doesn't do too much damage. That's gonna do a lot with all these things, but it could be worse To 450. Okay That's cool.  Stop blading in. Jeez Um, we can rave but also don't want to But we're going to I mean, hopefully we kill 2000. That's not too much Faint in the blade should be fine. Hopefully 2000. Hopefully 2000 I think it's gonna do it, but you never know No, we're not quite I'm lucky At least I'm full health now. So that's always good. Um, I'm lucky. I'm lucky. So close so close 200 off Did me better the blade Which is gonna pop up now, of course um We're just gonna pass and we're gonna poison When we get a powerpup or in two rounds And then we're just gonna chill for a bit a They can't do damage. So it's perfect Um, this is literally telling like no health. It's kind of funny.   Um Okay, you're dead for sure dead fizzle. Thanks. Finally a fizzle Hope Do do do do and your dead next round And we're gonna blade I really hate when I don't get powerpups.  Yeah, he's dead. Yay finally Jesus that took forever Okay You'll surprise me. I figured you'd fall like a piece of origami Instead you handled yourself like a warrior born take these lessons to heart Okay, leslor Once again at leslor You've made it back. So apparently you've learned something now that you've been through strategy boot camp It's time for your next challenge You've yet to face our first great foe the greatest champion of dranak the shrouded wizards army This very champion fought his way all the way to the throne of dragon spire to claim it for his lord dranak Show me that you will fight for dragon spire and all it stands for Use the skills you've been taught and defeat him use a crystal to summon dranak's champion and show him what you're made of Okay, let's do this Um, okay, let's do this Eight boss. Ah, okay Um Probably gonna die, but oh well, that's fine See lord. Hello Finally some power pips.  Okay That's cool. So he can't shield against me. So we're gonna blade up twice He's been doing a lot of damage. Yeah, we need to hit as soon as we can really Each time But first we're gonna bank. I'm not too worried At this stage Later in the battle. I'll be worried but at this stage. I'm not too worried. Um Yep, let's do this. So sliding bets. Okay He's actually really good He is really good. I've died to him many times. So I'm not I'm not like underestimating him Just because he's He's good Boop boop 2800 Not 2500 So like 6,000 health now Full healthy a Okay, and that's where my power plug runs out. Jeez. That's not cool I mean, we'll just keep letting him so We get something good Um, I mean I could poison I mean, yeah, let's poison just because we can Get him down a bit Yeah, that'll be good fizzle. Thank you Gives me more chance to survive So 309, okay, then this is gonna do a lot of the time. Jeez Uh, let's see. I mean, we're just gonna keep letting Maybe 600 I don't know Nothing much Okay, a blade. Yay Do-do-do-do-do-do I think this is last round 428 round, but it was pretty good 400, okay And we will rate when we can Um, just because we are still not getting any power pups like what the hell why no power pups gameplays Fizzle, thank you Time to pass a whole lot. Keep fizzling. That's kind of funny.  I don't know. Just kidding. He's not. Mm-hmm Okay, oh, yeah, just um just over. Um, let's see Pass again Literally, why do I not get any perps? I need power perps. Jeez Oh god, that did a lot How many perps does he have Fizzle plays fizzle. Oh god. I could be dead here. I'm dead I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. Nope 50 health water clutch This game This game honestly Honestly, this game Hates me Thank you for blading and not doing anything that could potentially kill me That was scary Um, okay Boop boop boop Um, how much? 2523. Okay. He's nearly gone, which is good. Um I think Okay, I'm back on good health now Uh, I think I will how much else do you have two thousand one thousand three hundred? I think I'm gonna have to what blades do I have? 40 Wraith again My mouse is dead nearly. Um, okay boop That's cool Um, pop it Of course not Why would you give me a power pip game? That's too easy, isn't it? What is my I need to check all my power pip chances like this is absolutely disgusting Like actually disgusting This could do a lot. Yeah, this would do a lot This is gonna do so much. I didn't realize he had a blade Nearly dead. Okay, then At least he hasn't weakness. I know it just jinxed myself, but not yet, which is good. Um If I get too low Um, he's run out of pips so The only thing he can do now is Blade but we can hit so that's always good. Thank you pop. He's actually got two pips Okay, that's fine. That's fine. You can't do 300 with that Um, boop. No fizzle. Thank you Yes, there we go. He's dead. Oh first try. That's always good Boop boop boop my that took that was Yep, that was some of them Yes, we did it. Yay. Yay Yay We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it It's really weird how he gives that myth gear Just realized You defeated him. I met a loss actually It took a league of dragon spires wizards and warriors to defeat him when he breached the throne room of dragon spire I did not think it's possible that you could have done so much on your own But now that I've seen your power. I think you are the one we've been waiting for I hid the last purple stone in the lormos vault of the great chasm during the titan army's assault The librarian should help you find your way once you've recovered it from there bring it back and I'll activate it for you Okay, let us hit on over to my loss and then we'll end off the episode here um Just because this is so long um Bloody battles that take forever. Okay Athenium Okay this way Lag why um, okay mana There's always nice Let's go inside here Yeah You need to find something within the great chasm Oh my you might want to consider other options. It's rather dangerous, you know So it's not my place to keep students from risking their lives. So I'll tell you what I know Unfortunately, that's very little when it comes to the geography of the great chasm I can tell you however that the last I heard there was someone there who may be of help Seek Belia windgaser out within the great chasm. She'll help you find what you seek Okay, so yeah next episode we will level up um, and we will also enter the um the grand chasm So thank you for tuning in to live a like and subscribe and for more subscribers to live a bell down below So you know exactly when I post another video and remember craft outside the box


how's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week what I'm gonna be doing is an outer sleeve in the next two days so with that being said let's get this day started I'm going to be meeting my client for breakfast so we can discuss the concept that we're gonna be doing so we can make sure we're on the same page uh my name is Mike Lloyd I'm a college student right now I'm coming from Elk Grove California which is a town a little bit south of Sacramento you're nervous excited nervous is it your is this your first tattoo uh I mean I got this oh you got okay this is like my first wow can I see the white on that yeah I don't know did you get that done uh about two years ago I'm gonna take advantage I'm gonna put a whole bunch of white on you for some uh oh those are some big fries my dude so thank you so I know you wanted the half sleeve right yeah you didn't want to go to the top be it well it really all depends yeah okay that picture I sent you with like the Spartan warrior okay I was thinking about getting that but I was when I thought about more I was like I definitely be open to go on the top okay and then I'm also I'm open for anything okay for me it's just more appealing to do from here up here and it just looks amazing way way better way better because then that sets you up for completing the inner yeah in the future you know regardless if you come back to me or somewhere else I'm gonna set it up to connect it so you can have a dope ass leave you know regardless on what route we take they're gonna look amazing no matter what the consultation was good I met uh Kevin and his boy Marco and then we ate breakfast and then we chopped it up talked about life it was more than just a normal consultation he actually wants to get to know you he was just like the video just energetic positive vibes all around just made me more comfortable the consultation was successful I really love what we came up with and I'm honestly cannot wait to start this project after talking to my client during the consultation I found out that he is 20 years old going to college he has his job and he purchased his ticket to travel over here to get a whole project done by me I don't even know him but somehow I'm really proud of him when I was 20 years old I was trying to figure out how to pay rent man I'm I'm super proud of you man keep killing it day one I'm gonna be doing the top of the sleeve first just so I can navigate way better so that way on second date he's not in pain how you feeling hi have a seat see you throne for the next two days you ready I'm ready are you I'm ready like I'm so hot you're gonna show up to college looking fresh as well I decided to put Alice on the top of the arm just because I knew it's gonna flow better with the sleeve it was gonna look static you pleasing and I was gonna cap it off on the top with some filigree hmm like it was my first big piece so I was really nervous but also there's something I really wanted and me and Kevin we came together and formed a great like stencil so I was really excited as well I look super though bro I look amazing I'm gonna have you check it out in the mirror though don't let my excitement cloud your judgment when I put on the stencil I automatically knew this is gonna be a great project it fit the placement and I haven't even started and I already like the way it was gonna turn out as soon as I started tattooing I started with my 11 curve mag with a voltage of 5.0 but it was giving me such a soft look and that's not the look that I was going for I wanted to make it look like stone so I switched to my 14 mile liner with a voltage of a 5.0 and as soon as I started executing that texture I was like you know what this is it like this is the look that I'm looking for when I was stenciling the beer I realized that it was a little confusing for me because it didn't have any flow to it so what I did is I just stenciled the most basic things of that beer because I knew I was gonna freehand most of it the reason why I thought this was the best approach it is because I have control over the contrast the highlights and the texture on that beer so I knew that if I did that it was gonna give me a better outcome but looking over all this shoulders like moving boulders just to get out of the home it sucks I've had enough I don't want to feel the stuck under the rug all my problems that I shove I got nightmares in my head I fear that the thoughts build up until I can't hear that my mind fills up into a creature and it haunts me somewhere much deeper I got nightmares in my head I fear that the thoughts build up until I can't hear that my mind fills up into a creature and it haunts me somewhere much deeper I've been feeling weird I can't seem to focus good enough nothing's really clear sometimes it could be a little tough I just need to feel like the engine's safe for me but less me really real anxiety can foggy all this stuff I've been feeling weird I can't seem to focus good enough nothing's really clear sometimes it could be a little tough I just need to feel like the engine's safe for me but less me really real anxiety can foggy all this stuff it sucks we finally feel like giving up oh god no luck everything feels like you're sticky stuck I'm lost handcuffed to the bed where I sleep don't give a fuck can't stop unplugged feeling overwhelmed I think I've had enough um gotta find a way to get some energy gotta find someone who's a good friend of me I need purpose to make it all worth it I'm still searching and I'm still learning I want a life that's filled with memories not a life with a grin in front of me I need focus to keep me from hopeless psychosis if I keep moping I got nightmares in my head I fear that the thoughts build up until I can't hear that my mind fills up into a creature and it haunts me somewhere much deeper I got nightmares in my head I fear that the thoughts build up until I can't hear that my mind fills up into a creature and it haunts me somewhere much deeper I've been feeling weird I can't seem to focus good enough nothing's really clear sometimes it could be a little tough I just need to feel like the engine's safe for me but less me really real anxiety can foggy all this stuff I've been feeling weird I can't seem to focus good enough nothing's really clear sometimes it could be a little tough I just need to feel like the engine's safe for me but less me really real anxiety can foggy all this stuff doing that here is honestly one of those things that when I started doing it I said I'm just gonna go with the flow because if I add too much shading to the hair it was gonna lose the highlight on top of the hair but if I did it not enough it was gonna look super empty and unfinished so I took my time I started adding little textures here and there I stepped back looked at it and I was like okay that's looking nice but I cannot a little bit more I added two more little details stepped back and I was like all right that's looking way better the hardest part was definitely just the amount of hours on the chair because my only other tattoo only took about an hour hour 15 so I think this one took about 11 hours to get retake so it was a tough one but I'm excited for tomorrow the end of day one he was definitely hurting towards the end just because it was a long session it was definitely a super long session but I was navigating with it I was asking him how you're feeling and he was just sitting like a rock but he did tell me he was hurting I'm excited for today because man the project the way it turned out it just looks so sick I'm excited for day two the way the top turned out set me up perfectly for day two that's the one that's the one I gotta be here right there that's perfect I'm gonna have you relax your arm for me for the bottom I'm gonna be doing a lion and on the middle of that elbow I did add a little filigree just so I can connect both pieces both pieces I didn't want the two projects to just go I wanted it to be a nice transition between the two pieces the skin complexion is so bright that I wanted to take advantage but I also didn't want to make it seem like I was simplifying the concept either so what I did is I grabbed my medium gray and I started doing little textures the hair the fur separated and then I would step back and I would look and if I see I needed if I needed more and I kept doing that I kept taking my time I kept stepping back just to make sure I was adding just enough to make it look like there was a whole bunch of fur but also keeping in mind the highlights of that lion what I'm using for the nose it is a nine round liner bug pin I'm taking my time adding the fur and I'm mapping it out before I commit to just go all in and make it way darker as I'm watching the footage back I realized that me doing that fur looks very suspicious it looks like I'm not packing in the lies but I really am it looks like I'm barely touching the skin but I'm really now I gotta I gotta fix my camera I'm really excited the way it turned out I'm just super happy with the outcome my client sat like a rock that the whole two days it was just good vibes for two days straight I'm really happy that he's going back to college looking super sharp he's definitely going to stand out thank you so much for coming back and watching this new video I really appreciate you so with that being said if you are tattoo artist I hope you learned something from this video and if you are tattoo enthusiasts I hope you were entertained thank you so much for watching I'll see you guys on the next video peace


These instruments that you see in my hand, this is referred to as the Kelman, McPherson, IOL forces. First, what is the purpose of this instrument? The function of this instrument is basically to hold the intraocular lens at the haptic-optic junction and to insert it into the capsular bag. A few quick points about this instrument. If you take a look at the prongs of the instrument, they've got very big guards. This is to ensure that we do not inadvertently apply too much pressure because if we do so, we might damage the lens. Now let's come to the features about the tip of this instrument. The tip of the instrument as usual is curved because it has to insert the IOL into the anterior chamber inside the capsular bag. So we hold the intraocular lens at the haptic-optic junction like this and then it is inserted through the limbal incision and once the leading haptic goes in and the lens goes in, then we leave it there and then we use the next instrument which I am going to demonstrate just now to position the lens inside the capsular bag. So this is the Kelman McPherson intraocular lens IOL forces. Stay tuned for another instrument in ophthalmic surgery which is used in cataract surgery.
