This started as a collaborative art piece giveaway by yungwknd and ACK. It was a one-of-a-kind digital art piece that showcased the creative talents of these two artists.
The art piece was created using a combination of yungwknd's signature style of generative, abstract lines and ACK's intricate 3D modeling work. The final artwork is a stunning display of their combined creative energies and was given away to the winner in an on-chain manner.
The giveaway was set up in an on-chain contract here. No info was given about who the collab was with or that it was a collab at all.
It had been running smoothly at about 200 entries when suddenly the contract had appeared to be botted in the final hour. In the end, over 700 entries were put in, many from new (and fake) accounts.
In a snap decision, yungwknd deployed a new contract to generate a random number here and used that to pick a number between 1 and 220. The random winner was submission #57.
The art piece was later resold for around 4 ETH.
