He compares the artist’s struggle in creating successful NFT art to gaining visibility on Instagram, where skill, marketing savvy, and a willingness to pander to trends are all legitimate factors for a chance at the limelight.Ībove that, there’s the sheer volume of digital artists to contend with, some of whom will inevitably outclass you. These days, he says, are much more difficult because of the expensive GAS fees and the overwhelming competition. He made 100 editions of one of his earlier works and has made 20 sales so far. Victor recalls how there were no GAS fees in the beginning, and it was commonplace to mint hundreds of works at a time. Perhaps one of the key characteristics of Makersplace that prove attractive to artists and collectors alike is the level of curation that goes into what works are sold on the site. Collectors can buy art with Ethereum or traditional currency using well-trusted platforms like PayPal or Stripe.
MakersPlace charges 15% in commission for each sale, but rewards artists with a 5% royalty for every subsequent sale made with their purchased work. Like Victor, the artists selling on the platform produce quality work with a limited number of editions. They have grown exponentially since their launch in 2018 and have reached around $60,000 worth in transactions as of 2020. MakersPlace is one of the earliest NFT platforms that has amassed a roster of serious digital artists from various backgrounds. Sometime before the public eye turned its gaze toward Crypto Art in general, he was contacted by MakersPlace and invited to mint some of his work with them to be sold as NFT art in what perhaps was the earlier incarnation of the phenomenon we’re seeing today. His passion for the craft eventually led him to begin taking freelance work focusing on 3d architectural visualisation and mockups of spaces for events. He started a career in mechanical engineering but was always fascinated with digital art. Victor is a 3d artist from Barcelona, Spain.
