Disclaimer: Um...alot of the characters shown here don't belong to us, but the art IS ours. Ever drew most of them except for the ones in Asa's posts.
(If you know who it is in that banner, you are assured by Ever to be a Very Cool Person.)

Ever is bad at banners, so we're stuck with those. xP

Before anyone asks, this is a mule that both Evermore_crystal and Asahi Kumoru have access to. Ya know, for convenience's sake.

Yep, Ever's having an art auction in the hopes of raising funds for her quest for a Red Rose Corsage. Why is she questing for that insanely priced red lump of around 8 pixels, you ask? Well, she doesn't want it for herself. Oh no. It all started with the Fa'e (copyright Anya!XD). What is Fa'e, you ask? Well, it is only the most famous RP B/C shop there is. I'm pretty sure that it's the first one there ever was on Gaia, as well. It has a very, very special place in both Ever and Asa's heart. So here we have Ever, who's been officially questing for a Fa'e since the end of April of 2005. And along came the autobuy just recently at, you guessed it, a red rose corsage. Ever didn't think she would get there in an eternity, but Asa was just lovable enough to offer to help! Thus this auction is born. We are doubtful that this will be enough to raise all the funds needed, but hey, we can try. heart

This is our first art auction, so we really don't know what to expect. But we're hoping we won't be disappointed. =D The two auctions are separate but will fund the same cause; we just kept it in the same thread so it'd be easier.

With that being said, please read all the rules and info before bidding. Thank you.

_____.Rules.

_____.//. Gaia ToC, peeps. We should all know that one.

_____.//. Be nice. Flaming, cussing wars, and anything of the sort are asked to be kept out the front door, regardless of who it's directed toward.

_____.//. No stealing art or anything else for that matter. Please...just don't even try.

_____.//. Total your own bids. We're not your calculators, even though Ever admits that she loves math.

_____.//. Check for latest bids before bidding. Do the research, yadayada.

_____.//. PM THIS account with questions. This is for keeping track and keeping our inboxes clear.

_____.//. Rules are subject to change and edits without prior notice. Just in case stuff comes up.

You know what, I hated the ones I put up so....yeah. *points to dA*
See "Flat-Rate Commissions" for simple chibi samples.

_____.Ever's Bidding Info.

_____Ever's auction will be based on a point system; this way, the bidder will have more choices. ^^

10k-50k: 4 points

51k-100k: 6 points

101k-200k: 9 points

201k-350k: 12 points

350k - 500k: 16 points

500k-700k: 20 points

AB'd: I'M YOUR ART SLAVE. T___T Meaning at ~least~ 40 pictures; I'll do anything that I'm capable of if it doesn't cross my morality line. Not all at once or anything...You get the idea.

I'll post more if it goes that high =D

How It Works

The amount of points your bid has earned depends on the range that it lands in, as listed above. You may divide up these points any way you like among the following catagories.

Everything will be full-CG; I don't offer sketches or lineart. If you're interested in my pencil work, please drop me a PM so we can talk things out. ^^

Block-Color Background: 0 points; comes free with your bid! You may request not to have this
Simple Chibi: Not offering for this auction; see flat-rate commissions
Semi-complex Chibi: 1 point
Bust Shot: 2 points
Complex Chibi: 2 points
Waist-up: 4 points
Full-body: 8 points
Multiple Characters: multiply by number of characters
Simple Background: 1 point
TONS of details:...depends on how much, but I'm willing to negotiate
Complex Background/Scene: Depends on what you want; I'll say it starts at 3 points
Other stuff: Ask! =D

Do's and Don't's

Will do: Couples regardless of gender, male or female (or androgynous, if that floats your boat xD), creatures of all kinds if given good refs, groups, scenes, avatars, OCs, fanart regardless of whether or not I know the character/series, strange lighting/etc.

Is iffy about, but willing to try: Massive amounts of fur, strange perspective, muscles on a Gambino magnitude, LOTS of items/details

Will NOT do, under ANY circumstances: Anything above PG-13 (Innuendos? Fine, but I'll draw the line there)

_____.Asa's Samples and Bidding Info.

Bids => Points

I'm going to be operating on the same point system as Evermore, with a few changes 3nodding

I'm just essentially multiplying her points out by 10, since I'm going to offer some smaller things that are not worth a point by themselves whee ;;

10k-50k: 40 points

51k-100k: 60 points

101k-200k: 90 points

201k-350k: 120 points

350k-500k: 160 points

500k-700k: 200 points

AB'd: Uhm... wow, we'll talk *o* There will be a lot, I promise.

Our fabulous prizes:

1 still pixel sprite: 1 point
5 pixel sprite with simple animation: 2 points
1 simple avatar edit: 5 points
1 complex avatar edit: 8 points
Bust sketch: 10 points
Simple single-color face sketches: 10 points
Full CG face/bust: 20 points (( no sample ))
Waist-up sketch: 30 points
Full CG waist-up: 40 points (( no sample ))
Full body sketch: 60 points (( no sample ))
Full body CG: 80 points

For backgrounds....
No background: 0 points!
Simple background: also 0 points!
Moderate background: 5-10 points
Complex background or scene: starts at 30 points

Anything else: Just ask me! We can work something out.

What I will and won't do

I will draw:
~ Males and females
~ Slight anthro features
~ Slight robotic features
~ Artistic nudity
~ Some blood and gore
~ Shounen ai and shoujo ai
~ Avatars, OC's, and fanart, with references
~ Couples and groups

I will try to draw:
~ Full anthro
~ Complex armor
~ Extremely muscular people
~ Weird perspectives

I will not draw:
~ Anything higher than a PG-13 rating in either nudity or violence
~ Full mech or complex machines

Anything else, ask me about it. I'm pretty flexible and willing to talk 3nodding

_____.Freebies.

Freebies

Heh...well...Ever's been known by many people to arbitrarily give out freebies of all kinds of things for no apparent reason. She does it on a spur-of-the-moment basis. Of course, the more you are around this thread, the more likely she'll draw you something...you never know. wink And of course, the more well-disposed she feels towards you, such as if you help us bump, the more probable it is that she'll give you a freebie.

_____.Flat-Price Commissions.

Simple Chibi: 5K (like the name implies, they're SIMPLE.)
Complex Chibi: 25K (ALOT of love is put into these things; they aren't just slapped-togther chibis, nuuuuuuu.~ They will look something like the one used for the banner in the above post.)
Headshot: 25k
