COMIC STRIP 

Chronically Bionic is an experimental, post-modern comic strip that utilizes both hands-on artistry and artificial intelligence (A.I.), twisting the centuries-old, human-reliant medium with visuals, melodies, and blockchain-enabled collectability

Every strip contains its own independent style, beat, and single-page story

WHERE?

the watermarked version of this experimental comic will be shared with facebook, instagram, reddit, threads, tik tok, tumblr, twitter, youtube and any other platform that appreciates comic strips, A.I. art, and NFTs

the watermark-free collectibles (Ethereum/Loopring) is available on LoopExchange

F.A.Q.

  • "Is there a larger story? Are they connected?"

    No, every comic’s story and style are independent (no cliff-hangers)

  • "What software is used to generate the initial A.I. visuals?"

    I may add more here soon, but Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and Dream

  • “I don't like collectibles or NFTs, can everyone view these comics for free?”

    Yes! Just don’t mind the watermark <3

  • "Will these comics' original music come to streaming platforms?"

    While the small tunes will be accessible to anyone who views the comics, the music is exclusive and will not be available on any streaming platforms (audio file download accessibility for holders will be prioritized in Phase 3)

  • “When should collectible holders expect to receive airdrops?”

    Once an individual comic strip is ‘Sold Out’ (mint price of 4 LRC from address …690d) and enters the secondary market, the Chronically Bionic Remains airdrops featuring unused/bonus content relating to that specific strip will begin dropping randomly

  • "A.I. art is lazy! How is this different?"

    Compared to creating such artwork by hand, for sure! Every Chronically Bionic comic revolves around a human moment, was artistically outlined and revised by a human, and is meant to be enjoyed by humans. Utilizing artificial intelligence transparently to reach new heights should be categorized separately from something made entirely by a human or entirely by a computer

  • "Doesn't A.I. art steal insight from traditional artists?"

    Users can enter artist names in the prompts when generating A.I. visuals to closer match styles, but Chronically Bionic will never do this without direct consent from the artist. Chronically Bionic is not responsible for any internal bias or shenanigans that may be found within A.I. art generation tools (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Dream, etc.)

  • "What other art directly inspired the Chronically Bionic idea?"

    ‘Black Mirror’, ‘Lofi Girl’, ‘Calving & Hobbes’, ‘Everydays’, and ‘Meditations’ to name a few

  • "What are the 'Red Packets' QR code giveaway things?"

    Ethereum layer 2 by Loopring offers a decentralized method to participate in or hold massive giveaways via a ‘Red Packet’ QR feature. Some are awarded to the fastest to scan the QR envelope, while others will be drawn randomly at a designated time. Winners only have to pay the layer 2 gas fee (often <$0.25 USD) to claim the collectible NFT art. Learn more about the Red Packets at Loopring.io! 🧧

  • “How do I keep up to date with this project?”

    Follow @CBcomicstrip on the platforms below and on ArtStation to view all comic strips as they release!

  • “What is the best way to support this project/artist?”

    Aside from considering the digital collectibles, i might have an optional Patreon that will offer exclusive behind-the-scenes updates, pre-mint previews, Red Packets (NFT giveaways), and more <3

  • "Is there a theme?"

    Independent stories and styles that highlight post-modern moments, ideas and challenges
