When we spoke to Nick earlier this year, he told us all about what an NFT is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are \u2018one-of-a-kind\u2019 assets in the digital world that can be bought and sold like anything else you own,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Artwork (or in this case, the graphic novel) is \u2018tokenised\u2019 to create a digital certificate of ownership. A record of who owns what is stored on a shared ledger which is the blockchain. So, anyone that buys an edition of <strong><em>Bloodlines<\/em><\/strong> has it forever, can watch as it potentially increases in value and can trade or sell just like you can with any traditional comic book. It\u2019s just another format of selling, buying and owning content, whether that\u2019s comics, art, film, music, 3D collectibles and so on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>What is <em>Bloodlines Vol 1<\/em> about?<\/h2>\n<p>The <em><strong>Bloodlines<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0series follows the journey of four characters as they fight to survive in a disorientating and bleak world, which sees human emotions take on physical forms such as fierce rage storms and sweeping floods of tears.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;<\/em><\/strong>[It] deals with a lot of themes I\u2019d always wanted to explore \u2013 the effect of different emotions on people, the different moods we have and how they affect us,&#8221; Nick told us when we asked him about the graphic novel. &#8220;It got me thinking if these kind of things could be contagious, if we could somehow become \u2018infected\u2019 with different negative (or positive) emotions, character traits or feelings, just from being close to others and so on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The next task was to think about how to represent that visually in an interesting and dynamic way within the genre that I like to work in and in my own art style. Of course, it\u2019s also comics, so it has to be cool and entertaining!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read our full interview with Nick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/books\/bloodlines-interview-with-creator-nick-percival\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Extended Directors Cut of <em>Bloodlines Vol.1 <\/em>and what extra content do I get?<\/h2>\n<p>The Extended Directors Cut edition is not just a full-on, epic version of the entire journey that Nick Percival went on in creating <em><strong>Bloodlines<\/strong><\/em> but it also includes all teaser animations, created by Nick and all promotional material used in the run-up to launch.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, there\u2019s a sneak peek of 1 page from Vol.2, a 1-2-1 video call with the man himself so you can ask him any questions and get an insight into his world.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that but you\u2019ll get to have a <strong>cameo<\/strong> in the next volume of bloodlines, meaning you will be forever immortalised in an NFT graphic novel, illustrated by Nick Percival!<\/p>\n<p>This is also a completely unique edition &#8211; a single NFT &#8211; so no others are available.<\/p>\n<h2>How do people access this?
