Today marks the end of week three of full-time work on Chibi Shinobis, the cutest, most kick-ass NFT collection on the Ethereum blockchain. Our humble team has been working hard, climbing one of the biggest learning curves of our lives, with everyone learning something new every day.

We hit some bumps while working on the art…

When you're making NFT art on Procreate and hit that 124 layer maximum @wingity @scchang_cat

… but we (mostly) figured it out, and now we have our first marketing post on Twitter!

I'm also happy to see this project coming together ;) Been spending all my unemployed time drawing chibis for @chibishinobis and now I need disc surgery for my L5 S1. If you're an artist who knows any good doctors or chiropractors, tag me in the #general channel!

I'm so happy to to see this project coming together :) Been spending all my creator time on coding for @chibishinobis instead and it's been the time of my life. If you're a dev, tag me in the #general channel if you want to talk shop! Happy to share my learnings :) https://t.co/LW9T5ua8nr

Early community members are loving it (shoutout to Chloe, Jules, Anthony, and John)

albert @thatguyintech

good initial feedback

Colors of Chloe @colorsofchloe

@chibishinobis LOVE TO SEE IT ⚔️🥷

We wrote a bunch of code (only showing you the ERC-721 contract 😛):

albert @thatguyintech

wrote a bunch of tests for that code:

albert @thatguyintech

even more tests

and drafted a GO-TO-MARKET plan..

And here we are, another ~100% increase in membership from last week in the Discord. Last week we were at 43 members. Today we’re at 82!!

Here are some more moments I don’t want to forget:

• Matt led a great team discussion around what the impact of blockchains are on the environment —

• — and drew some sick outfits

  

• Val performed high level wizard magic by organizing our discord channels and setting up our social media (it’s a lot harder than you think)

  ✨ working on something new and exciting ✨

  

• Catherine learned how to use my generative art script in order to do QA

  Catherine @scchang_cat

  During our x-country road trip, @thatguyintech and I listened to many NFT podcasts. It was my first time getting exposed to the concept of mixing art & code. 3 months later, im running a script to QA for our generative art project @chibishinobis 🤯 Never say never, y'all.

  

• I spent a lot of time talking to myself in private discord threads

Let’s see where we get to at the 1 month mark!
