Here's our guild.

That's right, this is a charity act. We'll draw you art if you donate rice to third world countries and feed thousands of hungry children who need this food. I don't expect everyone on the planet to be angels and just donate food, so I'll offer pictures for the rice.

We now have a website! Here!

How do you donate rice?

At FreeRice, of course! They ask you simple questions that will help expand your vocabulary with no time limit, and for every correct question you answer you earn ten grains of rice to donate. Don't fret, though.. it actually adds up pretty fast.

How will I know if you donated this?

Well, I won't know exactly.. but to keep an honest tally, I'd like you to take a screen shot of your page proving that you've donated so much rice. Upload it and send me the link. Bam! I'll draw you art. ^^

What if you suck at vocabulary questions?

Just switch the subject. You can do a lot of things. Practice your Spanish, grammar, math, and more.

Need a challenge?

Okay, so the challenges will start low and get harder as the lower ones are accomplished. The first one is to donate 10k. Whoever does this will earn whatever kind of picture they want from whichever artist on the board they want, VIP importance for getting your picture done soonest, and top quality. As the challenges get harder, I'll figure out better prizes. But you can't find that until these are accomplished, can you?

I've got the rice; how do I tell you?

Well, when you're done... I would love it if you would email me when you're done for the day. ^^ That means... before you go to bed(or log off), shoot me an email. What to tell me? Your username, the date, and your rice count.

Email - [e-mail] (Seriously, send your rice counts in here. After this, your rice won't be counted unless you send it here.)

Challenges: Thousands of Grains

New Challenge!

I've got my fellow editor helping me get us a catch phrase or a poem, but I'd like to see what you guys can do. Come up with a slogan or a little line that can describe what we're doing, or what's going on in third world countries. You could even take nursery rhymes and change them to fit the theme. The person that comes up with the one that touches Ben and I the most can have a picture of their choosing from(unless they in advance deny participation in this) any artist in the program.

Donators

Look at the main website for them now; I hate updating in two spots.

[Kyuu Jinx]

I'm the founder of this shop, and the one that came up with the idea. While I'm not the best artist in the world, I was hoping that someone might exchange my art for the donations. My friend and I have been looking for a way to do something nice for the world... so we thought this might be cool.

Yes, I raised my prices and scratched digital coloring. That 'cause this fits more of my preferences, and it means not so much art for so little. Anyone who ordered before I changed is okay.

.--.About the Artist.--.
I'm 16 years old and a sophomore in high school. Even though I am 16 now I still sleep with stuffed animals at night. I am currently taking two art classes in school one of them being painting 1 while the other is 3D studio 2 both of which I love being in. I tend to procrastinate alot when I'm working on art work so please don't bug me constantly about your art, its make me as the artist not want to draw for you. That being said I do take some time with my art only drawing when I feel that my art is the best it will be I don't want to be selling crappy stuff to people when they expect more from me. If I think I can't do your order I will PM you and let you know about the cancellation. Likewise if you feel that I'm taking too long, as I tend to do at times, just cancel the trade no need to PM me about it.

That's a cute idea, and really sweet of you. smile I got up to 120 or so grains, I'll continue later on.

[Kyuu Jinx]

Thank you. ^^ I love that picture you've got, by the way; it's adorable.

[MoiraineS]

Hehe, thank you. heart I'm hoping the artist who did it for me will open a shop soon...she doesn't have enough faith in her skill.

[Kyuu Jinx]

Seriously? That's insane! It's better art than I can do, and I've sold a couple pictures before.
