Is It Cool? #002 - Tigerbob by Gossramer Rozen.

Hello, all Bob (Tigerbob) hunters. Today we are going to do a roaring summary of the upcoming Tigerbob NFT (Minting on the 28th of May).

Introduction

  • Tigerbob is a 1000-piece NFT project from PROOF artist Gossamer Rozen.

  • Here is what the mint of the Tigerbob NFTs get you (roadmap items):

    • → Fashion and merchandise

    • → Comics

    • → Metaverse and gaming compatibility

    • → Fine Art → Rumored to be a full-body Tigerbob down the line ;)

  • Tigerbob aims to be a pixel art PFP-type project.

  • Tigerbob is taking an interesting route by making the rest of the NFT (the body) available post-mint (Roadmap item)

  • My thoughts are that it will be an interesting project as the artist is a PROOF artist, along with this the art is unique and the small collection size will make a very tight-knit community.

Traction / Art

  • As Grossamers background shows, they have a lot of art experience in fact “Gossamer has been creating work professionally since 2008.“.

  • The TIigerbob Twitter also has ~150k followers.

  • Just from this traction so far I’m getting a vibe that these may play out as the previous PROOF grails and other small supply PFP projects.

Team

Future Landscape

  • After Tigerbob mints out the team plans to allocate a % of funds to the project, the team, and 10% will go to charity. More info on this is below! On top of this, they will also start enacting their roadmap.

Use of funds

  • Tigerbob plans to mint 1000k NFTs at a price of .25e each netting the team 250e ($712637 USD) roughly. Team members also will receive 1 free tigerbob mint and will be allow-listed for 2 additional tigerbob. Lastly, the proceeds from the mint will be split across the team + the charity, more info on that here.

  • After the mint, it is safe to assume the Tigerbob team will then use the funds to further enact their prior stated roadmap.

Criticism

  • In closing, I like the Tigerbob art, the artist, and the 10% charity donation. I am however skeptical about the mint profit break down → 50% of the mint proceeds go to the Artist and 12.5% of the 50% go to further developing the project or roughly 15.5e or less. Info here.

  • While this is approximately $42k USD it does not leave the project with much capital to use to fund further endeavors. However, 5% of secondary royalties will go to the artist which could be assumed to also be going towards the project as well. Info here.

  • Lastly, those who mint DO NOT get full rights to the art. More on that here.

  • So, Is It Cool?…… YES!
