@zagabond @dutchtide Do you feel that sweet midnight summer breeze?

@solanagaming, and for my fellow @PlayKintara Players & @ValoraPlay Players..

For about $22 of $REEL, you can currently skip leveling & participate in a live $500 fishing bounty in @ReelIsles.

Hesitant to post this, as I won the first bounty, and don't need more competition 😅

@ReelIsles Round 3! $500, lets go!

Over the past 24hours art made a statement.

Yes I did not mint out.
Yes the floor price dropped.
Yes the market nuked.

And yet here is a group of people celebrating art. And that to me means the world. I've spend so much time on these details, working tirelessly for days on end for even the smallest things.

People do not realise how much more effort it takes to bring something to life. But if you want to try animate a ball falling on 12 sheets of paper. And you get the idea.

My point is that, "technically speaking" @midnightbreezey is a failure. It did not equate to the success formula this space wants to see. It did not build the same amount of hype some other projects do with a 100th of the effort for 1 asset.

But, it did touch people's heart. And it is being celebrated. Its exactly going as I wanted it to go.

And that to me. Is success.

So to everyone thank you for sharing your breezes. Please keep doing so. I love reading everything. Even though my airport wifi sucks. I'm so so so happy to see it finally out here. In your hands.

Much luv

Mint Update

The last few hours have been absolutely insane, and the biggest takeaway for me is this: I have the best group of people supporting me.

There were some missteps in execution, a bit of market volatility, and maybe some over-the-top expectations, but this launch is in no way a failure, because failure only happens when you stop, and we have no plans of stopping the journey on this lonely road!

Instead were going to bring focus back to the reason for this mint, the art, the experience and the chance to discover where this road has been going

Here’s how the launch will continue:

Travellers Mint
Opens today at 22:00 CET and runs for 12 hours until 10:00 CET Oct 18th
For any Travellers still waiting for their turn, and all the friend communities who made the effort to be part of this , thank you. Your support means everything.

Dedicated Mint
Opens at 11:00 CET running for 24 hours until 11:00 CET Oct 19th
A discounted mint for the 100 most dedicated Breezers

Ongoing Mint
After these stages at 12:00 CET Oct 19th the mint will open indefinitely at a fixed price of 0.096 ETH
At this point, the claim for burned Breeze will begin
Trading will also open at this stage

The Reveal will happen shortly after

We’ll keep wandering the Lonely Road.
Fragments will stay permanently open for any collector who wants to experience this world and its art in the most cutting edge animated format to ever grace NFT's

And as for the months ahead… I’ve got at least one more activation cooking that I think many of you will really appreciate

Stay breezy, Stay bullish

So, auction ended.

Settled at 0.096. I came in with high expectations. Seeing the response of this space was overwhelming. It gave me hope. Only 200 sold.

The way I went about this, I reckon it was too complicated. Too much trying to recreate 2021 energy. A standard mint would have sufficed.

You see for the past years I dedicated every waking moment to my art. To the promise I made in 2021. A sort of compulsion.
On top of that, I've spent almost every dollar I made into this. Wanting to achieve the very best. The final version of this art. The way it always was meant to be.

And I do not regret this one bit. But, it does mean right now, is not easy. Because here's the thing. I know the art is good. In fact. I know many many people care deeply about it.

But it's not seen. Not enough. So I am not giving up.

I am keeping the mint open.

Fragments at 0.096eth.

We still Breeze

[Dutchtide.eth @dutchtide]

After years of work the time is finally here, and I want to give the biggest shoutout to my community who has made all this possible.

You have supported me, guided me, watched me stream for hours on end, made edits of me sneezing, made me laugh, but most importantly, have stood by my side. And I can not be more grateful

Here's to the next big thing, but first,

we Breeze

Midnight夏季Breeze
Fragments of the Lonely Road

Everything has led to this.
TOMORROW we awaken.

This trailer… is one of the proudest things I’ve ever created.
Built over 3 months with a small team of 3 animators, we set out to capture the soul of the Lonely Road, and I truly think we did.

Every scene is rooted in your Fragments.
Inspired by the traits you hold, the interpretations you made.
There’s meaning behind each shot, if you know Breeze, you’ll feel it.

Honestly? It’s a miracle this trailer even exists.
Years of worldbuilding, painting, animating ,all coming together.

And tomorrow, the journey continues.
This is the most ambitious generative art experience I’ve ever attempted.
Nothing else I’ve worked on comes close. And I’m nervous, but proud.

If you’ve made it this far:
SHARE THIS POST.

It means the world. And tell me what you think when it drops.

So many inspirations and cultural influences have led to the creation of MidnightBreeze.

Now it is an entire entity of it's own, a world worth exploring.

I can not wait for you to experience that.

The Lonely Road Awakens

This has been in the making for over 3 years. It involved countless voice actors, musicians, animators, graphic designers, developers, and me. This collection consists out of over 80 hours of animation.

Fragments of the Lonely road mints Oct. 16th

[Dutchtide.eth @dutchtide]

This weekend was a rollercoaster of emotions.
Obviously we all felt it. The potential of a new bear. The idea that maybe this was it.

But for me, it went deeper.
It wasn’t just the market.

It was watching my dream, something I’ve spent years building, start to crack.

How many nights have I stayed up, wondering what happens if it all collapses?
What if no one shows up?
What if the market tanks, and it takes my work with it?

This is the curse of this space.
As an artist, I have nothing to do with wars, inflation, interest rates, or any of the macro noise.
But my work still sits next to it.
Right there, on the same screen. In the same red.

It’s art, but it trades like a stock.
And no matter how different it is...
Red is still red.

And that’s been my biggest battle.
Because deep down I know:
It doesn’t matter how good the art is.
Doesn’t matter how much I’ve planned.
Doesn’t matter how strong the community is.

If the tide goes out, I go with it.

So yeah.
Friday night was amazing.
My first solo gallery show. A dream, finally real.
And then within 24 hours, it felt like the whole world started falling apart.

Delay.
Lower your price.
Wait it out.
Silence.

All of it felt like a wave crashing down, and I’m standing there, carrying water to the sea.
No wind in my sails.

But it’s Monday now.
And the sun once again rises above the horizon.
And I’m still here.
Still building. Still grinding.

Because if I go down, it won’t be because I gave up.

I’d rather give it everything, and fail.
Than half ass it and wonder what could’ve been.

My art deserves to be seen.
And I’m not gonna compromise on it.
Because I know what I’ve made.
And I know most of you do too.

This shit is different.
And deep down, you feel that too.

So yeah.
Fuck the market.
We’ve cooked this one to perfection.

Stay breezy. Stay bullish.
We're not done.
