            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>NOTE : THIS STORY IS NOT THE STORY OF THE CHARACTER “TEDDY”!</strong></p><hr><p>Last summer Sam FaceTimed me &amp; was talking to me about NFT’s. I knew what NFT’s were before we had that conversation but just never paid attention to it. He said : bro this space is perfect for you, don’t ask me why just go on twitter &amp; join any NFT twitter space and you’ll find your journey, I am so excited to see where this story goes from here…</p><p>I still remember saying : bro it’s 4 in the morning rn on a Saturday night and you’re telling me to go on twitter space rn and follow some monkey’s??? lol</p><p>In my mind I was like this dude’s lit &amp; out of his right frame of mind. Finishing our sentences he said Teddy trust me, I know you and I am telling you this is a one way ticket to the life you have always dreamed but never lived and opportunities like this are very hard to find. I just laughed at it and I was like I’ll think about it and let you know…</p><p>Then after a week I was playing soccer with Shadow in my backyard thinking about what Sam said the other day and tbh I enjoyed hearing him &amp; everything he had to say with enthusiasm over the potential of NFT’s. Btw Sam is a well known artist in the space, and now after spending all this time in this space I get it why he was hyper that day. Anyways, then I went on my twitter and switched my profile from private to public. I joined my first twitter space, It was with @NFTPrince &amp; @NFTsquirrels. Both are living legends and I respect them a lot. They shared tons of selfless advice to me on first day without even knowing who I was, what my real name is, or how I looked like. The knowledge was so valuable that basically I’ve never been rugged / scammed in this space till date.</p><p>After spending some time in different spaces and observing how everything is working in this ecosystem, I focused on the fundamentals, the way people interact and react with certain things, what values they carried, and how do they find their feeling of importance. It wasn’t very difficult for me to figure these things out because of my knowledge &amp; experience with Social Media for over 5 years. I grew 36 million+ followers on Instagram via different entertainment pages and a network of over 250 million+ followers via networking in less than 6 months with just 2,000$ to start with from my college dorm.</p><p>During that time Bored Ape’s were just flying and they still are but the vibes were immaculate last year you can’t deny that. I literally did a PHD on them and I was just astounded by their story but I was able to relate a lot of it to my life, it was so inspiring and fascinating. I was thinking so much about it, that even in my dreams I was seeing NFT’s all around me and my life changed the night of September 30 with that one lucid dream, I decided to do a project to share my story so that others can relate to it and be a part of it.</p><p>( Note : This was’nt the main reason for me to do a NFT project. My main goal was and is still the same today that I want to leave this NFT space better than how I found it. )</p><p>Back to the story, why Teddy? Well obviously. My friend’s call me Teddy and Teddies have been a part of everyone’s childhood and I believe people will hold on to that tradition forever. They provide us the comfort &amp; companionship, a friend to talk to, and it’s not just kids who benefit from the positive effects of a comforting Teddy squeeze. Teddies are just universal and timeless.</p><p>I put all of my traits and character and imagination’s in the art, from my expressions to the way I dress. Some of the assets are added for the aesthetics of the collection. I am not an artist but since I was the character I worked with few freelance artist’s to bring my idea on paper. They asked me for a sketch to give an idea of what I wanted and this is what I sent them lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/184988750fa5a16a1116a8f564b25325cc57ca81f28ed78c6e27ae189f41f3e2.jpg" alt=" That Yu-Gi-Oh and LV belt part has my heart lmaoooo😭😭😭.

We wanted to stick with 2D because 3D art is great but the market seemed to be doing well with 2D more than 3D collections. Ofcs art style isn’t the main reason for it but it does play a role. But then I am like let’s take the challenge and create something insane. During the time when I started the project, their were’nt any 3D project’s coming out just yet nor there were any noticeable Teddy Bear collections popping as long as I know. So then we decided to turn this into 3D. During this process one 3D artist reached out to me in my DM’s of one our meme page asking to collab, I am like okay cool lets give it a shot and see what you got.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/762dd916ea3f7571e201f40a33a5a3d30d3324149ae044bc3a538aca8fa674ef.png" alt="This is what he came up with as base model. 💀💀💀" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">This is what he came up with as base model. 💀💀💀</figcaption></figure><p>Yeah he just lost me on that base model. If ur surprised, I did’nt see this coming either, when I saw it for the first time I was out of words just like you are rn. I seriously had no comments on this image. So yeah I had to say no to that dude and look for another artist. The fact that people fake their LinkedIn and show you proof of work of other artist is just hilarious. So I asked one of my friend on telegram if he knew any artist to connect me and he did.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/448afe85299d9a328616a7956749ee6d63a767c31f2a32c52458074eeae5a76b.png" alt="Idk tbh, it was just not it." blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">Idk tbh, it was just not it.</figcaption></figure><p>It just did’nt feel right going with the full body at this point, gave pfp style a shot and see how it does. Initially the idea was, we will do pfp collection and in a seperate contract and we will give the holders full body version of their Teddy so they have both and can use it the way they like whether to animate or so with the source file…</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/877bef8704b86a080276a30810d60363e248584f812cdcc6d120e0a9a2c67ede.png" alt="I finally said yes to this one and made a deal with the artist and gave her an upfront amount for her time that we both agreed on.

Plus I genuinely wanted to help her regardless of if she would work for the project or not due to her situation.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f22eae9ae58f863a377cfcd011de01d0cb57945e352d96ab539b6d6f376f241b.png" alt="My mind, Her ability." blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">My mind, Her ability.</figcaption></figure><p>We decided to fully render and rigg the collection in the end after all the traits and assets are illustrated and confirmed so that their isn&apos;t any confusions and nothing is left out. But unfortunately when she submitted, the quality of collection turned out terrible atleast from my pov. I communicated it with our community and told them that ‘guys we do not have the collection fully rigged and its in between 2D and 3D so we would have to pause the project for now until we find another artist and see how things go from there’.</p><p>But then I was also out of funds because I put everything I had in the project initially. So I communicated this with the community in our discord and 34 people ended up minting 100 regardless of the situation. 10 were minted for team and 1 was minted by me personally to participate in the process just like any other member of community. They knew that mint had zero value and won’t have a secondary market value but yet they still supported. So that moment onwards my belief in the project became even stronger and quitting was never an option no matter what situation I go through. The collection won’t ever be revealed because I don’t believe in trying to sell some bullshit to people just to pocket some eth. In trying to sell NFT’s I am not going to sell my character, tf I look like? ZagaBond? There is a big fat difference between failing and abandoning your projects. We don’t give up around here…This project is my dream and it like a child to me. I want to be the best out there in anything I do in life. Whether if it is playing soccer or anything that I hold dear too I give my absolute best to win. When I play soccer I don’t play to just participate I play to make difference, I play to dominate the field.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://opensea.io/collection/toxicteddyclub">https://opensea.io/collection/toxicteddyclub</a></p><p>So yeah that was my first failure in NFT space, I learned a lot from that failure. The most important thing was that when starting a business do everything you can to gather great people that have the same drive &amp; BELIEVE IN YOUR VISION as you do. Because in the end all a business is a group of people dedicated to provide service or product to people. Take care of your team like your family &amp; they’ll take care of your business &amp; customers.</p><p>Then after I did an outreach again and managed to find a team of 4 professional 3D artist’s. Their past ventures have involved working with brands like Puma, Bangs and Lulu Lemon. Their Identities are anon as they wish to keep it that way but I have confirmed the veracity of their credentials. When I presented this entire idea and vision of the collection to them, after hearing me they instantly said yes and told be that we believe in you and we’re gonna make the best collection of 2022. We started working on it the same day and even with this team, I worked 1 on 1 with the team over screen shares for every single trait’s and asset’s and outcomes are just fantastic. Look It does’nt matter what people think of it but we do believe it is one of the greatest NFT collections that will ever be deployed on Blockchain. We’ve put our blood, sweat and tears in this collection as a team day in and day out. The collection is timeless &amp; it will age well I can make that one promise for sure.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/d7d945ba155d8140dfa1ae3ad6eed351ddfa20224bfb2aab916dc720a88bea76.png" alt="This collection is dedicated to someone who does&apos;nt need to own it.

I am just the captain of the boat as of now but at some point I want to hand the dream over to the community in a position that even if I am not present the story live forever as long as their is imagination left in this world.</p><p>Big hug &amp; Thank you for your time and consideration for reading this. I genuinely appreciate your presence here with all my heart.</p>]]></content:encoded>
