Continuing my prior article introducing Wench 2043, a unique and small batch NFT drop launching on January 14, 2022 where I left off with layer conflicts. We created all attributes in the 10 layers we covered, and when we started making test images to see how they look, we noticed a lot of issues & potential problems.

One of the biggest problems were Hats & Hair. We originally had them on two different layers, and immediately noticed big problems. Some of the hats had hair, which conflicted with the hair layer as shown in the left side of the image below. And we also had issues with the hats looking pretty goofy resting on the hair as shown in the image on the right side. So we solved this problem by putting the hair with the hats and calling it the Hats & Hair layer.

The next issue we saw is we put the Lip layer right above the Body layer, and we had 4–5 masks up in the Hats & Hair layer. We had conflictions with the lips that had cigarettes sticking out behind the mask. While it’s a cool mistake, it was easy to correct by putting the masks in the Lips layer.

We also saw this conflict with the blue medical mask which was in the Lips layer, and it made for more interesting conflicts we call Bloopers.

The next layer that gave us grief was the Glasses layer. We initially put them above the Hats & Hair layer and some of them just would not work. The glasses needed to be able to look good with the short hair or no hair that showed most of her head, but not with some of the hats.

Then on our first test NFT generation, our guys put the Glasses layer below the Hats & Hair layer and there were so many conflictions like the glasses cutting through the hat in the center, or hair overlapping on the ones on the left & right, so we moved it above the Hats & Hair layer.

Next we had Jewelry layer errors with all the necklaces. They were originally under the Jacket layer since we put on our necklaces before our jacket, and most or all of it was not showing up, so we put them above the Jacket layer, which revealed more conflictions as a lot of the jackets have a high collar, so it appears the necklaces were coming through the jacket like the first two Wenches below. So each necklace had to be skewed or scaled to bring them up higher on the neck, and all jackets had to be edited to remove any part that was covering the necklace. There were two necklaces that were lower on the body that had to be removed as the Wench on the right shows.

Another issue that we discovered after we generated the final NFTs is the Extras layer should have been above the lips, not above all the layers, as it contains the two moles, a scar, and a nose ring. And the scar and moles are showing up on the VR glasses & masks, so that will just make those few even more rare! Here are two instances of the scar showing up on a mask and the VR glasses.

And finally when looking at the first round of images, the programmers did not follow my instructions for making the rarities rare. They were making all 5 of the Attributes on each layer an equal amount, so the Ultra Super Rare and Legacy Attributes were as common as the Common Attributes. We finally worked that out and now we are ready for the minting, or I like to call it the cloning of the Wenches at 6am Central Time January 14th.
