From Studio Artist to Metaverse Artist

This is my journey from Studio Arts to Digital to Online to NFT to the Metaverse
Starting point - Decentraland

From Studio Artist to Digital Artist to NFT Artist to Metaverse Artist
This is the start of my journey into the metaverse
My name is John Bennett and my AKA is JJFBbennett

I want to immerse my art in the virtual landscape
My starting point is This Branch
This Branch is about accepting the beauty of the night and how it affects our sleep, mood, emotions, and conscious being
It is based on 12 branches and contains poetry, vignettes and reflections

I have started to plan out how my metaverse
JJFBbennett.xverse
It will be hive-like
Translucent
It will branch out into other technology realms
I want it to be connected to ancient architecture
And spiritual aspirations

My first step into the metaverse is Decentraland
I have not experienced this metaverse
But the welcome page is exciting

You are welcome to join me in this discovery journey

Metaverse but which one - Decentraland, Sandbox and or Spacial

This is my effort to move from Studio Artist to Metaverse Artist 

But now for the research

There are many options 

The options all seem to be variants of the same concept

But intentions are different

So do I need a fit for purpose

Or do I need to adapt to the choice available

As my art is not exactly linear

And it is open to stimulus 

I think I may initiate with a purpose 

And follow through with adaption

There is a lot of advice to filter through

My initial step is to Decentraland

As I can create and construct using Blender

It was my first gut nod

So I will stick with it 

I think I leave Microsoft Mesh alone and Somnium

They sound exciting but I need to have some limitation

I am more interested in Sandbox 

Perhaps I could gamify my art

Many years ago I ventured into Second Life

I kind of keep an eye on it

If Second Life ventures into blockchain or crypto

I will reenter

Apparently, Blender can export to Second Life

I am interested in Spatial

I have an Oculus 

This could be a place to meet people

Who are interested in my art

After reading what do do

I am ready to jump in

Step 1 download

OK

So I installed Decentraland

Pretty colours

Orange pinks, yellow and sky blue

Just like candy

Oh no, a QR

I try the only version

Bugger a network mismatch

I retry the PC app

Oh no, the QR again

And the WalletConnect doesn't have my wallet

I retry the online version

And try with MetaMask

And yes, I'm loading in

Time to build a cool character

I'm grey and ride a Z900

So I flick through the free avatar options

My JJFBbennett avatar

So in I go 

The Genesis Plaza

And there I am, the grey nomad

Alice then gives me all the instruction 

That I instantly forget

I like the diving board

The chance to jump into the abyss

Alice praises me like a good coach

Look at all of that instruction

Looks like a lot of practice is required

Take screenshots or snippets of video 6

So here I stand

Before the whirlpool

The portal into Decentraland

It is peaceful

Oh, some jumped in

I'm not sure if anyone scrolls through all options

The sense of gravity is awkward in the least

Not many players are in the options

Could Decentaland be as empty as Second life?
