Man, I love Faile, but these animations are terrible.

El oh el. Faile, the next victim to fall to Nifty.

[GMA]

Faile indeed.

Disappointing

It is really disappointing..
To see how some artists are jumping into this without really having anything to offer

[kuni]

okay i guess i'm in the minority but i don't mind a few of them. Is it iconic work that transcends the medium? Obviously not. Too Big to Faile, Wonder Fall and Savage World are fun. The statues are gaudy and unfortunate.

Maybe Pantone set the bar unreasonably low for street artists, but I don't think it's all that terrible.

[Inknart]

I just can't get behind this, at least right now. These are just cash grabs. They literally just released very nice large HPM's for $1800 a month ago. $5000 for an edition Gif? Nauseating.

I don't get it?!

Pictures that move, super fun. Can pull out your phone at the pub and show friends and strangers your cool $5000 Gif that you own.

Oh I completely agree that the pricing is insanity but I don't dislike the art itself nearly as much as everyone else does.

This fad isn't dead yet???

[gmidd]

I actually like these better than 99% of the NFTs I've seen. I actually really like Modern Living. Still not going to pay the insane prices for them though.

[Lord Lucas Roham]

Utter shit. Another cash grab. I am glad people who are more gullible than me are buying this crap as it gives us something to talk about.

Agree, and all the talk about it cutting out the middle man, the gallerists cut and the democratisation of art is such a bullshit smokescreen, almost every artist has thrown the "duty of care" for their collectors and fanbase out of the window in favour of shilling for crypto whilst bending over backwards to furnish their none digitial art with some vague digital reference then charging 5 times as much as their prints. Distasteful to say the least, "we've always been interested in the digitial realm..." blah blah blah. Liars.

I think we've still got ~3 months before a massive correction. Murakami just got in which means we're getting close but still has some room to grow. I'll liquidate everything as soon as Arsham jumps in. 

[eyectopus]

I think the Challenger could have looked a lot better. The Too Big to Faile looks like it is moving, the Challenger would look much better if it used the same effect.

I would not be purchasing one either way, but disappointed as I usually love Faile works with Challenger in them.

[themenya6]

All NFTs are a simple-minded shite concept of art

[stelio]

Love more artist are joining the NFT space. Just wish Faile would have done a lower price point for one of them. The only issue that’s hurting NG now is they priced out too many buyers.

[Skizz 82]

Terrible price, poor animations, boring NFT.

[digitalkid]

I’m in! gonna be minted in a few years.

Wank.

And you can do that anyway right?  Just download the video off of the Nifty website.  What do you get for the extra $5000?

Exactly . Bragging rights, that it's your Gif, but you still don't own copyrights lol.

Thank god for old school Faile

I'm still questioning on how you can ask 10k for a gif...

For better or worse because there will be a line of people happy to pay it. 

[maw314]

I’m admittedly a huge Faile fan, but I see no problem with this and actually think the animations are cool. That said, I’m not into NFTs and have no interest in buying these.

Anyone that’s followed Faile knows that they have been doing digital art for a long time, so those calling them “full of shit” need to look in the mirror.

I feel like it should have been the opposite, NFT's cheaper, driving up demand for physical works. At least for what NFT's currently are.

I completely agree with this and feel like the pricing for NFT has completely left the barn. Prices have all 10x'd in 2 months and it's not sustainable. Was talking to an artist on IG who sells canvases for $30-40k and he said he won't let his NFT prices get beyond a certain point (say 25% of canvas) because he doesn't want to screw up his physical market. This is the way it should be but it's become a total gold rush.

It would have made far more sense to release their arcade style animations from Deluxe Fluxx as NFTs.
