Avatar art can be very expensive. People make thousands off selling their art to those willing to pay the price, and many Gaians are. As a reward for newbies who know how to handle themselves on Gaia and contribute to the betterment of the site, artists from all over have volunteered to give free art to newbies--art that would usually cost hundreds of gold that newbies simply do not have.

I'll keep the rules simple. Please follow all the rules and play nice.
1 You MUST be a n00b. I'm leaving the definition of "newbie" up to the individual artists. wink
2 You MUST NOT PM an artist unless they say it's okay. wink
3 Become a regular. If you post on page 1450 and an artist gets on at page 1672, s/he's not gonna browse through past pages looking for newbies. You're best bet is to visit often so artists have more of a chance to see you. wink
4 No cybering and no sexually explicit material or RPing. This is a PG-13 Forum. wink
5 Follow all of Gaia's Rules and Guidelines. Click on the link and read them if you are not familiar with them. If you see anyone who is in violation of Gaia's rules, please PM either the person, or me, so that we can get the situation fixed and prevent further harm to the thread, others, and the offenders. wink
6 No spamming, no posts that stretch the page, and no excessive quoting, please. wink
Alright, I'd like to take advantage of this being the second post by telling all those newbies who didn't read/understand the first post:
The point of this thread is to talk. Not bump, not spam, not come in, say "Draw me" then leave immediately, but TALK. If an artist thinks you're worthy (ie, you've returned to this post over a few days, you try to use proper spelling, you've made friends with all the regulars) THEN we may decide to give you an artwork. In fact, there are so few newbies around, if you stay for a week and have DECENT UNDERSTANDABLE conversations, it's ALMOST a guarantee that you'll get artwork.
