BAD (BUDGET ANIME DRAWINGS) NFTS
Collection of 100 Animated Anime NFTs!
CURATED from a 1-year daily drawing challenge during the covid lockdown
Origins of B.A.D. Anime
"Budget Anime Drawings"
On April 19, 2020 Budget Anime Drawings was born. It all started with a quick doodle of Naruto's "Sexy Jutsu" while being bored during the major Covid-19 lockdown.
That simple doodle quickly bloomed into a daily art challenge that lasted an entire year, consisting of over 365 Anime drawings!
Just like with all my art, I had a lot of fun with the project by including easter eggs!
(example: if you scroll thru the entire year of drawings on instagram, you will see a rainbow gradient where every 6 panels the background color would slightly change.)
One major thing I took away from this project would be no matter the hurdles that are infront of you, if you keep pushing and keep up that good fight you can get through anything!
I will be first to admit, I totally under-estimated the time and dedication it took to complete such a project!
There was no days off and several nights where I questioned if this challenge was worth the investment. I am so proud that I stuck through it and have this awesome collection to share with all of you!
I would also like to give a shout-out to artists like @BEEPLE who has done 13+ years of everydays.
