Introducing @AnalongStudios the NFT studio behind my creative disruption

It’s also time to announce my debut solo art project: Max Extractors

I’ve reflected a lot on my past in crypto and about where I want to go in the future

It’s time to transition from just a “founder or trader” and start allowing myself to create freely as an artist too

I figured what better way to announce this transition than by absolutely ragebaiting everyone with my debut work which is polarizing and controversial

MAX EXTRACTORS

The concept is simple, right now the most popular NFTs are ones that pay you to hold them or in other words… make you money.

So I am releasing an NFT that you have to pay to hold. Yes, you read that right.

There artwork begins with 44,444 Max Extractors

Each Extractor costs 0.0000444 ETH per day to exist. If the daily deposit is not met, the NFT is extracted from the collection and burned forever.

44,444 -> 44,443

The more people that hate this project, hate the idea, hate me, hate the art, the better.

Less demand for Max Extractors means more Max Extractors getting burned.

In other words, this artwork is intended to ragebait as many people as possible.

Arguably the best ragebait is the art itself, it’s just a default profile picture... pixelated. Anybody could make it.

The PFP isn’t the only art though, the mechanic is the art.

The collection is permanently deflationary until the collection size drops to 444.

The final 444 become immortal and no longer require the daily extraction fee.

These 444 are the finale of my debut artwork and there is nothing I can do to determine which art makes it to the finale or how long it takes to get there.

The extraction happens everyday at 4:44pm EST. There is a 24 hour clock on the site to track how many Extractors are at risk, a full dashboard to manage them, and anything else you need to follow along.

How do you mint a Max Extractors?
You don’t.

The entire collection of 44,444 was airdropped to Spritehood Wisp holders. One to one, 1 wisp = 1 extractor.

This artwork begins with them. The future of it is entirely up to them. Whether they decide to keep them, let the extraction burn them, or sell them, it’s out of my hands.

Let the extraction begin.

Q&A / Concerns ⬇️

"What is your plan with this?"
It’s just a PFP. You can choose to keep it, use, let it burn, or whatever you want. That’s it. No utility, no game, nothing more than the daily extraction mechanic and some cool art.

“Cole you’re not an artist, you can’t just say you’re an artist.”
Actually I can, I just did. In fact, this is the exact reaction I am looking for. I'm hoping this strikes emotion into people, good or bad, that's the art.

“I don’t have time to deposit ETH everyday”
You can deposit as many days in advance as you like and then you are hands off. You can even deposit ETH for other people so your friends can help out of your on vacation or traveling. The days transfer to the new owner if you sell. You can also let it burn, there is no incentive to keep it if you don’t want it.

“What about Spritehood?”
The development of Spritehood is going fantastic. The art is about 75% done. I’ve spent months working on it and there was some serious setbacks including me nuking the entire trait list and restarting to make it higher quality. I curate it more everyday and it has 100% of my focus. Spritehood is my passion project, people will try and twist it to say that I gave up on it for this but that's quite the opposite, this is just a little fun art gift that people can PFP while I continue cooking Spritehood.

“What is Analong Studios?”
It’s the NFT design studio that will be the battlestation of all my current and future endeavors. Not much to say about that but there is a fun minigame on the site.

"Why does my Max Extractor already have days deposited?"
If you were holding a divine spritehood wisp, you received 4 days deposited and if you were holding a enhanced spritehood wisp, you received 44 days deposited + the rarest color palette.
