I am sponsoring this proposal for nikolaevkappa.eth

Introduction

My name is Renato Galvão a.k.a. Nikolaev "Kappa" and I’ve been a skateboarder since 16 yo. I'm 35 now 🧙‍♂️. I’ve worked with most big brands both in Brazil and USA and now I am focused on creating a children books called The Incredible Book of Tricks.

As a creative director and 3D animator, I could bring an engaging perspective to the books, and my background in photography could help to create beautiful and dynamic illustrations.

Here are my companies so you can see the visual aspects: http://instagram.com/obvious.cc http://instagram.com/chapadinhasdeendorfina http://instagram.com/prazerobvious

Living in a couch in Copacabana for years and spending most of my days skateboarding must have provided me with a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge about being a skateboarder. My experience with Casa Urbana creating skateboarding content could also be a valuable asset.

Here some of my favorites:

A children's book with a glossary of skateboarding tricks and their variations, along with illustrations and step-by-step instructions, could be a great resource for kids who are interested in learning more about skateboarding. In addition to teaching kids how to perform different tricks, the book could also include information about the history and culture of skateboarding, as well as profiles of famous skateboarders. By incorporating VR assets and animations, the book could provide a unique and immersive learning experience for kids.

An NFT collection could also be a fun way to collect and showcase different skateboarding tricks. A book like this could be a valuable resource for kids and even grown-ups who are interested in skateboarding.

Description

Parents who want their children to learn about skateboarding will be very interested in this material as well. The book will be fully interactive. The first volume will have approximately 45 flat ground tricks explained in detail, where they came from and how to do them. The inclusion of augmented reality animations will make the book even more engaging and interactive, and the hardcover format could make it more durable and long-lasting.

How does this proposal benefit the DAO?

This proposal could benefit the DAO by providing a valuable digital ( and later a physical one) resource for anyone (not just kids) who are interested in learning more about skateboarding.

The use of Noggles and Gnars from the community in the illustrations and artwork could further emphasize the connection to the Gnars community. Could be a great way to promote the Gnars and its culture to a wider audience and to engage with the community in a meaningful way.

The idea is that 33% of the sales of the book and the NFT collection's revenue be reverted to GNARS treasure fund.

VISUAL EXAMPLES

Here is some more we can do:

→ The boards will have Gnars PFP from the community and Noggles stickers.

→ One of the possibilities is to choose Gnars Visionaries from ThatsGnarly and people from the community to have your NFT to illustrate the boards.

→ Through the process we will have a strong visual team that will create assets to try to implement dcl emotes and GLB or GLTF formats for the community to use in metaverse and other applications. Also renders to illustrate the Gnars brand.

Also including a Nounish-Gnars page at the end of the book so we provide more information about the community and answer any questions that people might have.

Giving the Gnars community permanent credit for their sponsorship and help to recognize and support it’s contribution to the book.

What marketing and networking opportunities are associated with this proposal?

After having the pilot we can go to the global distribution network of the Nouns community. It could help to reach a global audience and promote the book to different bookstores in different countries.

Budget and Deliverables

A timeline of six months for the completion of the book, with regular deliveries along the way, could help to ensure that the project stays on track and is completed on time.

Timeline and Deliverables

Week 1-2: Research and content development

Comprehensive glossary of skateboarding tricks Historical and cultural insights

Week 3-6: Illustrations, 3D modeling, and texturing

Character creation with Noggles Application of Gnars from the community through the Visionaries from ThatsGnarly Skateboard and clothing design

Week 7-8: NFT creation

NFT collection creation

Week 9-12: Final editing, marketing, and pilot approval

Editing and finalizing content Marketing and promotion Final Approval

Deliverables for this project include:

A fully illustrated and animated digital book pilot An NFT collection with all tricks and their variations

A future proposal for printing and distribution of the physical book at NOUNS.

This pilot will help us test the book's potential success in the community and identify areas for improvement before we fully launch the book.

During the pilot, we will distribute a limited number of copies of the book to select audiences in various regions. We will also gather feedback and data on the digital book's sales, readership, and engagement. Based on this information, we will refine our marketing and distribution strategies for the full launch.

Once the pilot is completed, We would like to present a new proposal to the Nouns DAO or Lil Nouns (Since the book if for kids). The proposal will outline how we can leverage the power of blockchain technology to streamline the printing and distribution process of the book worldwide. By utilizing the Nouns Ecosystem, we can ensure that the book is produced and delivered efficiently, securely, and cost-effectively.

I believe that this pilot and subsequent proposal will only benefit even more the success of the Gnars DAO.
