An evil necessity, but a necessity nontheless. Users who do not follow the rules will be ignored or reported depending on what rule they do not follow...

* Do NOT retract your bids, under ANY circumstances.
* Do NOT bump over-zealously if you're hoping to win the contest, bump only if and when it is needed.
* Do NOT advertise on our thread.
* Follow Gaia rules, and keep everything PG-13.
* Obviously, no art theft - do not use our art anywhere without our permission.

Samples:

Will draw:
People, OCs, avatars - any shapes and sizes (other than very very muscular).

Dancing/romantic/other couple poses (once again, if you choose to get a couple pic.)
For backgrounds: Skyscapes, landscapes, mountainscapes, seascapes, plants, flowers, trees, simple cityscapes, and simple interiors/room settings. I can also include most animals and mythological creatures if they are desired. (might have to be discussed)
Macabre, creepy things, blood. (So long as it's not like an open surgery/ gored stomach, etc.)
Things not in the "Won't draw" list.

Won't draw:
Furries (including avatars sporting animal mouths.)
Mecha.
Pornography/distasteful nudity, anything that's of an "R-rated" nature.

HB buys: Two full-body pictures in a medium of your choice (can both be CG or ink, or have one of each), or a single full-body couple picture (here you can only choose one medium wink ), with a simple background.
AB buys]: Four full-body pictures in a medium of your choice, two full-body couple pictures, or two full-body and one couple, with an elaborate background.

The Bumping Contest is to get people other than bidders involved in the auction, and eligible for art. There will be a new one run for every month.

Here's how it goes:
User Image

* People participating help bump the thread.
* Number your bumps. (start at 1 every new month) - People who don't number bumps will not be eligible.
* The person with the most bumps for one month wins!.
* Winner gets a simple headshot of their avatar or character from each artist. smile

Rules:
* Please don't just sit there and bump all day. That's just... not nice.
* Winners will not be eligible for the bumping contest again, but are welcome to continue bumping. 3nodding (This has changed since more people are competing than we thought they would.)
* Number your bumps, and start at "1" every month. (Just a reminder)

JUNE'S CONTEST:
