php editor Xinyi introduces to you how to make and sell NFT avatars. NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a unique digital asset based on blockchain technology, while NFT avatar is an NFT artwork based on a personal image. There are many ways to create NFT avatars, which can be created using professional design software or online platforms. To sell your homemade NFT avatar, you first need to upload it to an NFT market or platform, and then set the price and transaction details. In this way, you can transform your creative works into tradable digital artworks and realize value realization.
NFT avatar series is the most popular among various NFT creations, attracting many private creators and KOLs to launch their own series.
If we want to make our own NFT avatar series, how should we do it?
No matter which NFT avatar series it is, it is necessary to determine the "characteristics" of its avatar through some basic concepts. For example, the Cryptopunks Founders series, in addition to each avatar being unique, also clearly adopts a nostalgic pixel style, presenting a nostalgic style similar to the 80s and 90s.
Another example is the celebrity-favorite Bored Ape Yacht Club, which is based on a decadent monkey pattern. Before creating your own avatar series, you first need to determine the characteristics of the avatar and whether to choose an animal as a base.
It is difficult to find a reliable, practical and free NFT avatar generator on the market. Some NFTs claim to be free. The avatar generator may require an upfront fee or buy back the avatars one by one after generation.
Even if there is free automatic avatar creation software, you still need to pay attention to information security to prevent Trojans from stealing the avatar.
Therefore, generally professional NFT producers will choose to make generators with their own coding instead of relying on the NFT automatic generators in the market. For example, Benyamin Ahmed, a 12-year-old boy from the United Kingdom, has been learning programming since he was a child, so he can create software that combines NFT avatars.
Of course, the most classic way is to assemble or draw by yourself through the most basic drawing software such as Photoshop/AI. However, starting from Cryptopunks, 10,000 avatars are needed to become a "series". Even if only 1,000 avatars are needed, the efficiency of production by this "manpower" alone is very limited.
Although it is not inevitable, the current general avatar series is usually composed of 4 or more different parts.
For example, take "Bored Ape Yacht Club" as an example, which includes different designs of "body", "mouth", "eyes", "clothing/hair style", and "background". There is a certain quantity limit for the different accessories corresponding to each part, which can be used to combine multiple rare accessories to create a rare avatar.
Of course, there are also NFT avatar series that are simply designed with different avatars to form an avatar series, but this requires more design accessories and may take more effort from the NFT designer.
Most of the currently popular NFT series have a specific design concept behind them to express the entire avatar series. background story. No matter how wild and imaginative the story is, it is necessary to give the entire avatar series artistic value beyond visuals.
A more special example is "Ghozali Everyday". A teenager from Indonesia has been taking selfies every day since 2017, with the same expression and angle, without interruption, and then uploads the photos The NFT was made and put on OpenSea, and the series description stated that "it's really a picture of me standing in front of the computer day by day."
Whether you think this is a "valuable" background story or not, at least the content of the NFT avatar does correspond to its description. This weirdness has made "Ghozali Everyday" an NFT series that has actually been purchased by people. So far, its market value has reached 384 ETH, or more than 1 million US dollars.
Currently the largest and most used NFT trading platform on the market is OpenSea. The vast majority of NFT avatar series are sold on OpenSea, and most buyers in the market also trade on OpenSea. If you lack fame or don’t have enough team manpower to promote it, then OpenSea has sufficient customer sources. Still your best choice.
Creators can of course use other NFT platforms, but they should pay attention to whether other platforms have a membership system, whether there are restrictions on publishing new works, etc., and also pay attention to the listing fee levels of different platforms.
| Platform | Public chain | First sales service fee (for reference only, subject to the official announcement of the platform) |
| OpenSea | Ethereum | Sellers: 2.5% |
| Rarible | Ethereum | Seller: 2.5% Buyer: 2.5% |
| SuperRare | Ethereum | Seller: 15% |
| Foundation | Ethereum | Seller: 15% |
| Nifty Gateway | Ethereum | Service Fee: 5 % seller 10%, total 15% |
