All 8 artworks are finally finished. Every single one made by hand, keyframe by keyframe, pixel by pixel. So much sweat, time, and love poured into each piece.
Truly grateful for every single one of you who connects with my work.
One thing I want to make clear: I'm not here to prove a point. I'm not here to deliver a message. I'm simply here to make you feel something and nothing more.
If you felt something, cheers to that! ๐
GM Argonauts ๐
Been building some tool for holders and went deep into how the argonauts are actually drawn. Found something most people never noticed ๐
Every argonaut has exactly 3 tiny "marks" on its body. The renderer that lives on-chain takes your token number, picks 3 pixels of the body and tints them: 2 get 14% darker, 1 gets 11% lighter.
It's a real function in the contract's renderer, literally called [varianceMarks]. Each body type has its own list of spots where a mark can land. Your number decides which 3.
So even two argonauts with the exact same traits are never pixel-identical. The marks sit in different places.
Here's the proof. #9257 and #7803 wear the exact same body, Clergy cloak and Versace glasses. Only the background differs. Take the background out and 177 of their 178 pixels match. The one that doesn't shown on Column 15, row 7: plain bone on #9257, a mark 14% darker on #7803.
Strip the traits off both and you see it: same body, but the 3 marks land in completely different spots.
Marks are painted right after the body, so a trait on top can hide them. About 3 in 4 argos have at least one mark hiding under glasses, a cloak or a hat. #9257 is one of 1,085 with all three hidden. They're still there, you just can't see them.
I rebuilt the renderer and checked it against the original on all 9,976 living argonauts. Every pixel matches, marks included.
3 marks. ack. 3 letters. Coincidence or signature? Only @lphaCentauriKid knows ๐ค
The illusion of democracy is the belief that a corporation or foreign government can't buy the vote of the legislative branch representative you have collectively elected.

SYNTH WAVE #11/178 by Alpha Centauri Kid (ACK).
The texture, detail, and iridescent finish on this piece are something else. Even better in person. Canโt wait to add a frame to it.
Happy to add this beauty to the collection. ๐ผ๏ธ
