"In the meantime, he looked down at the water and tried out the word he'd been taught by his Grandfather, who'd been taught it by his grandfather, which had been kept for thousands of years for when it would be needed.

It meant
the smell after rain.

It had, he thought, been well worth waiting for.
"

The Last Continent - Terry Pratchett





Welcome to Imbroglio Petrichor. These words are English, let me assure you but as you may not know their meaning I'll impart them to you here.

Imbroglio means a Chaos or Confusion.
Petrichor means the Smell of Rain on Dry Ground.

Together they form
The Chaotic Smell of Rain on Dry Ground. Which is the name of the auction you have so lightly stumbled upon.

+ Rules +

I. No Bid Retractions; Seriously.
II. Half hour Sniper Protection. Auction will be extended to include a half an hour after every bid.
III. Use common English. I do not enjoy seeing chat speak, or leet in my threads. It demeans them. Stick with the language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages, and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary. Unless you're joking.
V. There is no four. Except in 42, and golf.
VI. If you win, don't rush me. All art promised -will- be completed, but rushing me will make me lose interest. I'd rather refund you your money than do art if you give me Art Block by bugging me. I'll try my best though.
VII. Don't get this thread or me banned or I shall be extremely pissed off. That means, drum roll please, follow TOS!
VIII. Don't remove my signature from art under penalty of Cat. Le grr, and so forth.
IX. PLEASE do not steal my artwork created for the thread! This is a very bad thing to do, illegal on Gaia, and might get your account banned. Please just don't.
X. Items will be valued for their lowest TekTek Price! Only 10 items per bid please. I reserve the right to refuse 'bad' bids.
XI. Please don't advertise things you have no intention of affiliating with my thread? Just post here and I'll add you. Don't stretch my page, and please try not to post massive images that have nothing to do with the conversation?

Bidding Ladder:

20k: Cel Headshot with Simple Background
50k - 99k: Cel Waist with Background
100k - 120k: Cel Full Body, with Cel Chibi
121k - 299k: Soft Full Body, with Soft Chibi
300k - 399k: Painted Full Body, with Soft Chibi, and Soft Headshot

400 - 799k: 1 Soft/Cel Couple Art, Soft/Cel Full Body with Background, Cel Chibi
800k - 999k: 1 Soft/Cel Couple Art, 2 Full Body, Cel Chibi, 1 Painted Headshot
Over 1000k: 1 Soft Group Shot (3 - 4 people), Soft Couple, Soft Full Body with Background, Soft Chibi, 1 Painted Headshot


The types go in this order; Cel, Soft, Painted. You can go down from anything you have to another type. So if you won 'painted' you can get painted, or soft, or cel. If you get Soft, you can get soft or cel, and if you get cel; you're stuck with it.

If you want to discuss things with me I'm pretty lenient on things so we can work out something of approximately the same value together. Like if you want your Couple as 2 full shots, or maybe switch a chibi for a headshot.

+ Other Information and Notes +

Oh by the way. This is my first auction ever, and I'm trying my hardest on it!

I'm a fairly quick artist, all the samples you see here? They were completed in a single day, two at the max. I refuse to take too long on Art because it loses the personal feeling of whatever mood it was started in.

I'm also always tired, and likely bored. I'll wander off mid thread for a bit and come back the next day. Don't be afraid to chat with me though, I like chatting with people. It's fun. :3

Another point on this art, is that you will never get this type of art from my shop. The art gained from this auction has a higher level of craftsmanship not only because of the extra money behind it, but because I want to make a good impression on the winner. I will be pushing myself to do bigger and better art just for this auction! This means it might take a little longer, but it certainly won't be too long.

If you'd like to see more of my art, my Deviantart is always open for visitors. On top of that, in the link section is a link to 'Flying Toaster' which is my Gaian Shop. There you'll see some lesser grade work using Gaian Avatars in the samples section. You'll see I offer so many types of styles it gets confusing! I'm sorry about that but really, I want to fine tune my art for whatever the person ordering wants...

Have any questions? Chat with us! Ask me! I'm always willing to help! Curious to know if your OC is okay with me? Just post a snapshot and run it past me. I'd love to see more people just hanging out, or even giving me ideas on how well I'm doing this auction. Anything I should change? Any particular reason why you didn't bid for my art? C'mon! Post! I don't mind non-bidders!
PS; I'm getting better at realism if you guys want it if you win. Here's a recent sample done as a freebie.
