Great article! Not buying XCOPY when I first saw him on SuperRare, is one of my biggest NFT regrets. His ‘less is more’ unique style sets him apart from other artists. Thanks for highlighting his talents to the Cryptowriter family.

I've been following XCOPY for a while and I like his style.

Years ago I used to play a mobile game called BBtan. It was very popular at the time and was addictive. When I saw XCOPY's art, I immediately thought of that game. I guess because of the colors he used. It has a bit of a retro feel. Especially the neon colors used on the black background are very striking and allow us to look at the screen for a while.

There may be some who think that his job is easy, but he draws every single frame as it should be. Even in the drawing phase, he thinks about the animation phase. And he have to. There are endless options in art and design, and it's not easy for the artist or designer to decide. There are definitely too many trials to be able to make the final decision.

Lines: simple, colors: simple, animations: simple... Maybe we need to find the complexity in this simplicity. Not everything has to be physically complex and XCOPY shows us that to the fullest.

It was a great article. The games I used to play, my old Tumblr days... It took me back in time. That's the power of the art!

Many thanks for the article.

I was using Tumblr to see what people are making/sharing in terms of art, indeed these GIFs reminds me of those days. Every artist has their signature and it seems motion based art is the signature of XCOPY.

The pieces you put in the article stands like they are live chalk drawings on a black board, I especially like the burning book.

Thanks for presenting XCOPY here.

Moving pictures are much more beautiful and eye-catching than flat pictures.

I think I lost myself looking at the gifs in the article. All are masterpieces.

XCOPY is ahead of the others. Each art has its own place, but the technique he uses distinguishes it from others.

I would like all artists to develop their own techniques and take this industry forward.

XCOPY has accomplished this. Thanks for introducing us to them, David.

Thanks for sharing it articles and gifs.

Definitely a different and original art arouses curiosity.

I think that the works made with XCOPY art are both catchy with their changes and interesting with their techniques.

It's so fun and good that XCOPY shows a basic drawing in a static way fast and live

I will continue to review the arts made with XCOPY.

Thanks for the great article.

After reading the article. I researched XCOPY from social media. his nfts are really extraordinary.

In fact, nfts that most people with a little knowledge of computers can do. Motion pictures drawn on a black screen.

There are two reasons why XCOPY is so well known.

1.- Although it is easy to do, XCOPY has added its own perspective to nfts. He literally put his dream world on paper. maybe he gave a social comment. I mean briefly, XCOPY has not just drawn a picture, it has uploaded the picture in a sense.

2.- One of the first people to start the Nft market as an artist is XCOPY. It has achieved a popularity in the market and most people know it. For example, you will buy a new phone, will the phone you buy be the iPhone you have known for years, or is it a phone of a brand new?

We need artists like this for the nft world to grow so we have to support him to the fullest. I hope you succeed XCOPY

I've seen XCOPY artifacts. but I never thought about it. You have described the artist's work really well. Your explanation caused me to think and analyze in more detail.

I'm so glad you started writing for cryptowriter.

I hope we have a chance to read more articles from you.

I'm going to tinker with some more XCOPY artifacts now.

I will try to look through the window you described.

Sometimes I feel ignorant reading articles.

I've looked at the comments, and most people have heard or come across them before. And I only knew it as computer code.

I studied a little. The sales are very good. I looked at Opensea. It's a beautiful art in general.

Different. It's like moving and the color harmonies are great.

Especially the changing colors are very well chosen.

I think I learned a lot from here. I keep learning.

Thanks for introducing XCOPY.

Have a nice day.

Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of XCOPY. I've studied his work. I also looked at it on social media.

I think NFT design is a little different. He wants a good imagination. You mix things up and great things come out. His examination gives you pleasure.

Previously, NFT designs were shared. The more I look, the more I look. It's really great. I have great admiration for the artists.

Your efforts are very valuable. I'm waiting for the rest. I will always continue to examine it.

Very talented. I love motion art and enjoy watching them. I like his use of color and he tries to make things simple. He's already proven himself. We also have to appreciate it.

Thank you for the article. And congratulations on your first article.

I love how NFTs turn from still images to very animated gifs.

I think these gifs will become much more popular in the future.

XCOPY's arts are stunning, I hope it gets even more successful.

Animators should be encouraged to participate more in the nft world so that the Nft art community can rise.

In addition, gifs provide the opportunity to better explain the art by the artist.

Thanks for the article.

Different things always attract attention, and XCOPY's works are very different and interesting, but also a little nostalgic. And with all of these got people's attention so much and were successful.

Thank you for your article. Look forward to read your other articles.

Take a look at the independent movements of these colors, it adds energy to people, it's a really beautiful art, I definitely support it.
