Get ready for some truly BIG NEWS and an absolutely BIZARRE opportunity for the BizarreBeasts project! I'm going BIZARRE to share that I've just submitted an application for a special edition award from Decentralized Pictures (DCP), a groundbreaking non-profit organization that’s not just changing the game for creators, it’s rewriting the rulebook for creativity onchain.

This award is particularly significant because it celebrates DCP's recent migration to Base, a dedicated appchain that’s unlocking a universe of new possibilities for artists and storytellers worldwide. It's a powerful demonstration of the surging force of onchain creativity, and let me tell you, BizarreBeasts is perfectly positioned to be a roaring part of this BIZARRE future.

Limited Time Offer: Get a FREE $5 Credit on DCP! The first 25 sign-ups using our referral link will receive $5 credit added to their Decentralized Pictures account. See details below!

We’re applying to the Decentralized Pictures (DCP) Onchain Creators Award to bring BizarreBeasts to life as animated shorts. If selected, we’ll get funding, publish on Zora, and unlock new storytelling dimensions powered by Base. YOUR vote is crucial! See how to support the BizarreBeasts for this award below! 👇

For those not yet initiated into the BIZARRE world of Decentralized Pictures, let me give you the lowdown. DCP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded by none other than American Zoetrope (yes, Francis Ford Coppola's iconic film company!). Their mission is nothing short of democratizing the film industry by pouring financial and filmmaking resources into independent and underserved filmmakers.

How do they pull off this BIZARRE magic? Through a unique, community-driven platform, users can submit projects, which are then reviewed and voted on by the community, with winners receiving vital funding and support.

While they have a rock-solid foundation in film, DCP is aggressively expanding its reach to embrace other digital artists. They recognize the immense, untapped potential of onchain art across all disciplines. This special award is a clear signal of that expansion, and BizarreBeasts is here to answer the call!

This particular award isn't just a handout; it's a launchpad. It aims to propel emerging creators of all disciplines (filmmaking, photography, music, AI art, and more!) who are actively building the future of creativity onchain. It’s all about empowering artists to boldly explore how decentralized technology can not only support their work but also showcase the real-world, tangible potential of onchain creative funding.

Here's why this initiative is such a BIZARRELY powerful game-changer:

• Direct Support & Funding: Award recipients receive crucial production funding delivered directly through the DCP platform.

• Onchain Publishing & Coining on Zora: Projects will be proudly published on Zora, a leading onchain platform that empowers creators to "coin" and earns directly from their work. This means artists retain full ownership and can directly monetize their creations, all without needing to be crypto-native to participate. Additionally, DCP will amplify these projects to its massive worldwide audience.

• Unrivaled Exposure: Recipients are invited to participate in the TALNT Cast podcast and gain potential mentorship or spotlight from ecosystem partners. Imagine the reach for your BIZARRE creations!

• Community & Transparency: It's an unparalleled opportunity to connect with a community that fiercely values creative merit, unwavering transparency, and open access. You'll be a part of the next chapter in decentralized art curation.

The migration to Base is crucial to this ambitious vision. Base, built by Coinbase, offers a scalable, low-cost, and user-friendly environment for decentralized applications. This translates to faster, cheaper transactions and a smoother experience for creators and community members alike, making onchain participation more accessible and BIZARRELY seamless than ever before.

I'm incredibly proud to put BizarreBeasts forward for this prestigious award. Here’s a glimpse into what we've shared in the application.

As the creator behind BizarreBeasts ($BB), I've cultivated a notorious onchain art-based IP project. It's a universe where painting, onchain storytelling, and interactive media don't just collide—they explode into something new. What began as hand-illustrated $BEASTS has organically evolved into a vibrant $BIZARRE universe, now boasting a passionate community, regular art drops, BIZARRE BizarreBeasts mini-games, a dedicated $BB Miniapp, and a fully onchain publishing model.

Now, BizarreBeasts is set to expand its vibrant universe of hand-illustrated characters into short animated films with original music. This new, pivotal creative phase will bring the $BIZARRE world to life through motion and sound, deeply rooted in its physical artwork and onchain culture.

If awarded, this grant funding will be the direct fuel for the essential production elements for these BIZARRE animations. This includes:

• Professional Sound Design & Original Music Compositions: Crafting immersive audio landscapes that will truly bring the BIZARRE world to life and elevate the storytelling.

• Cutting-Edge Animation Software Licenses: Acquiring the industry-standard tools necessary to create high-quality, fluid, and visually stunning animations that capture the unique BizarreBeasts aesthetic.

• Expert Character Rigging & Animation: Investing in the specialized technical process of preparing our characters for dynamic movement and bringing them to life frame by frame, ensuring they retain their distinct personality in motion.

• Strategic Collaborations: Partnering with other BIZARRE artists and musicians to expand the creative scope, inject diverse talents into the project, and foster cross-community innovation.

These onchain animations will leverage web3's unique capabilities for creator ownership and direct monetization, creating new avenues for engagement and value for the BizarreBeasts community. This project embodies how decentralized tools empower creative freedom and foster community-driven narratives, showcasing a proven model for onchain creative funding within the Decentralized Pictures community and beyond.

As the artist and creator behind BizarreBeasts (BB), I'm continually exploring the exciting intersection of my lifelong passion for illustration and the darkly humorous world of outsider art with the innovative possibilities of web3. I'm drawn to the space where the comical and unsettling coexist, which influences the unique characters and narratives I create within the BizarreBeasts universe.

For me, BizarreBeasts is more than just digital collectibles; it's a fusion of my artistic vision and the potential of decentralized technology to build a community and foster new economic forms. This article reflects my hands-on exploration of blockchain technology as a tool to weave together community, culture, and cryptocurrency within the BizarreBeasts ecosystem.

BizarreBeasts is a creative universe centered around hand-illustrated, original characters brought to life through onchain artwork, comic strips, animations, original music, and interactive games. This project explores the darkly humorous and often unsettling aspects of existence, blending a lifelong passion for outsider art with the innovative possibilities of web3.

Beyond digital collectibles, BizarreBeasts aims to build a vibrant community where art and decentralized technology converge.
