Currency Art Collection Quick Starter - Generate Your Own Currency Collections

Collection №1 & №2 - Doge

Let's start with the 25 Doge (Shiba Inu) Punk series.

Note: See Pixel Art Collection Quick Starter - Generate Algorithmically Your Own Curated (or Randomized) Collection to create your own doge punk series from scratch.

Let's turn the "classic" 24x24 doge (shiba inu) punk series into Damien Hirst's "The Currency" inspired modern dotty spotty art.

Step 1 - Read in the all-in-one composite image

require 'pixelart'

doges = ImageComposite.read( "i/doge.png", width: 24, height: 24 )

Yes, that's it. To double check that we got 25 doge punks try the (tile) count:

doges.count #=> 25

Bingo!

Step 2 - Turn the 24×24 Pixel Art into Modern Spotty Dotty Art

Let's loop over all doge images in the composite one-by-one:

doges.each_with_index do |doge, id|
  ###
  #  for testing generate "basic"
  #     doge images with spots (no "currency" background)
  doge_spots = doge.spots( 10 )
  doge_spots.save( "tmp/doge-#{id}-spots-v1.png" )

  doge_spots = doge.spots( 5,
                  spacing: 5, center: [-1,1], radius: [3,6] )
  doge_spots.save( "tmp/doge-#{id}-spots-v2.png" )
end

Let's have a looksie at the first spots version (240×240 -- 24×10px spots) for doge #0, #6, #10.

And the second spots version (235×235 -- 24×5px spots + (24-1)×5px spacing) for doge #0, #6, #10.

Let's add the "magic" currency background spots and rerun the the loop:

BACKGROUND_SPOTS = [
 # blue-ish
 '49355E', '16437A', '096598', '4B8BBB', '9CD9DE', 'C5A7C6',
 # red-ish
 'A5282C', 'D14C37', 'CF6A71', 'DD5E36', 'DDA315', 'F3A925',
 # green-ish
 '4C7031', '95A025', '66BA8C', '316D5F',
 # gray-ish /white-ish
 'C2B6AF', 'BFC0C5', '3BC8B5',
]

doges.each_with_index do |doge, id|
  #####
  #  collection №1
  doge_spots = doge.zoom(2).spots( 5, spacing: 5,
                             center: [-1,1], radius: [3,6],
                             background: BACKGROUND_SPOTS )

  doge_spots.save( "o/no1/doge-#{id}-currency@2x.png" )


  #####
  #  collection №2
  doge_spots = doge.zoom(2).spots( 5, spacing: 5,
                             center: [-3,3], radius: [2,8],
                             background: BACKGROUND_SPOTS )

  doge_spots.save( "o/no2/doge-#{id}-currency@2x.png" )


  # bonus: high-definition (hi-def) XXXL poster-size
  #          vector graphics quality
  doge_spots = doge.zoom(2).spots_hidef( 5, spacing: 5,
                              center: [-3,3], radius: [2,8],
                              background: BACKGROUND_SPOTS )

  doge_spots.save( "o/no2/doge-#{id}-currency@2x.svg" )
end

Yes, that's it. Run the script to generate your currency collections.

In the /o directory you will now find two collections, that is, /no1 and /no2. The /no2 includes a bonus high-definition (hi-def) XXXL poster-size quality vector graphics version (see the .svg extension).

Let's have a looksie at the biggie 2x (475×475) versions for doge #0, #6, #10.

Collection №1

Collection №2

That's it. Yes, you can! Change the currency spot colors to your liking and generate your own currency doge collections.

Collection №3 & №4- Cool Cats

Let's start with the 221 Cool Cats TV Heads series.

Let's turn the "classic" 24x24 cool cat series into Damien Hirst's "The Currency" inspired modern dotty spotty art.

Step 1 - Read in the all-in-one composite image

require 'pixelart'

cats = ImageComposite.read( "i/coolcats_tvheads.png", width: 24, height: 24 )

Yes, that's it. To double check that we got 225 cats try the (tile) count:

cats.count #=> 225

Bingo! Note: The TV Heads composite ends with 4 "empties", thus, the real count 221 (225 - 4).

Step 2 - Turn the 24×24 Pixel Art into Modern Spotty Dotty Art

Let's loop over all cat images in the composite one-by-one:

221.times do |id|
  cat = cats[id]

  ###
  #  for testing generate "basic"
  #     cat images with spots (no background)
  cat_spots = cat.spots( 10 )
  cat_spots.save( "tmp/cat-#{id}-spots-v1.png" )

  cat_spots = cat.spots( 5, spacing: 5, center: [-1,1], radius: [3,6] )
  cat_spots.save( "tmp/cat-#{id}-spots-v2.png" )
end

Let's have a looksie at the first spots version (240×240 -- 24×10px spots) for cool cats #0, #6, #12.

And the second spots version (235×235 -- 24×5px spots + (24-1)×5px spacing) for cool cats #0, #6, #12.

Let's add the "magic" currency background spots and rerun the the loop:

BACKGROUND_SPOTS = [
 # blue-ish
 '49355E', '16437A', '096598', '4B8BBB', '9CD9DE', 'C5A7C6',
 # red-ish
 'A5282C', 'D14C37', 'CF6A71', 'DD5E36', 'DDA315', 'F3A925',
 # green-ish
 '4C7031', '95A025', '66BA8C', '316D5F',
 # gray-ish /white-ish
 'C2B6AF', 'BFC0C5', '3BC8B5',
]

221.times do |id|
  cat = cats[id]
  #####
  #  collection №3
  cat_spots = cat.zoom(2).spots( 5, spacing: 5,
                             center: [-1,1], radius: [3,6],
                             background: BACKGROUND_SPOTS )

  cat_spots.save( "o/no3/cat-#{id}-currency@2x.png" )


  #####
  #  collection №4
  cat_spots = cat.zoom(2).spots( 5, spacing: 5,
                             center: [-3,3], radius: [2,8],
                             background: BACKGROUND_SPOTS )

  cat_spots.save( "o/no4/cat-#{id}-currency@2x.png" )


  # bonus: high-definition (hi-def) XXXL poster-size
  #          vector graphics quality
  cat_spots = cat.zoom(2).spots_hidef( 5, spacing: 5,
                              center: [-3,3], radius: [2,8],
                              background: BACKGROUND_SPOTS )

  cat_spots.save( "o/no4/cat-#{id}-currency@2x.svg" )
end

Yes, that's it. Run the script to generate your currency collections.

In the /o directory you will now find two collections, that is, /no3 and /no4. The /no4 includes a bonus high-definition (hi-def) XXXL poster-size quality vector graphics version (see the .svg extension).
