Decentraland Metaverse

Wearable

Launched in June 2024: Laugh Now, Cry Later Decentraland wearable shirt.

Step 1: fingerpaint. Scan and trace handprints in Illustrator.

Step 2: emulate playground ball pattern in Illustrator

Step 3: apply the two images as a material on spheres in Adobe Dimension and render the 3-D art.

Step 4: contract with a professional to create the 3-D shirt with the emblems applied to the front and back.

OnCyber and the Awedacity Team

Please do take a look at AwedacityHQ, whose mission is to digitally empower women around the world by creating opportunities for them to share their expertise, amplify their voices, and build their authority. I have a team Awedacity citizen hub, and they have featured one of my artworks in their ’10 Women AI Artists to Watch’ livestream. OnCyber is a metaverse that is fun and easy to use in any web browser.

The Spatial metaverse is fun and easy to use in any web browser. I have used a standard templated structure to build out my own art gallery, featuring NFTs I’ve created.

Lamina1

This is a metaverse-first layer 1 project. My first NFT image created for this project, pictured here, is ‘The World Wasn’t Built For Her.’ Description: She navigates the world, although it wasn’t built for her. A woman’s back is turned towards us as she contemplates a roiling ocean and flower blossoms. She will like the metaverse much better than IRL. Minted for Lamina1’s mainnet launch week.

Lamina1 is not a marketplace yet, and much is yet to be built, so this NFT is not for sale yet. I was intrigued by Lamina1 because it is co-founded by Neal Stephenson, the author of ‘Snow Crash’ novel.
