Welcome to Gaia! ::

+ 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. If you would like to speak another language, please include translations?
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 price in the last week! 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?

And Now, more information on what you're bidding on...

Chibi - A simple chibi in a celshaded style. Fullbody, with possibly a background item. Over 250k, Chibi becomes partially animated, which includes a wink, wave, or other single gesture. [Extra samples: [Thonek Chibi][Random Cute Chibi]

Experimental - An image based on your avatar/OC. You can give a general 'gist' you'd like, such as 'sexy' or 'heroic' but otherwise I'm just going to go with the flow. This will create a rather fun image that I'll actually enjoy so it may become heavily detailed. It will be between a waist shot, or a full body image. [Extra samples: [Skylight Zeke][Broken Pieces][Tower (Anthro)]]

Full body Single - Rather to the point. A single image of your character from head to toe in a mixed shading type style. Unless you would prefer celshading. Mixed shading can be seen in the last sample to the right above. [Extra samples: [Couple Fullbody Mixed Shading][Halfprince][Another Thonek]]

Reference Sheet - Ref sheet! One frontal view of your character from head to toe, 3 headshots of varying emotions, and several detailed images of 'zoom in' points with information sheet. [Extra samples: [Luke Ref Sheet][Zeke Ref Sheet][Cat Ref Sheet]]

MAGIKAL MAGIZKS OF MAJIZKAL MAGJIK
Feel free to post the most absurd original character you've ever managed to come up with. If Cat thinks it's got the charm that'll draw her in, you'll get one randomized art style, and size of her choice. This means, show your s**t off.

One rule, you must converse in the thread for a bit after posting your entry marked [ENTRY TO MAZXKIAL] so I know you're awesome enough to care about as a person as well as a character. Have fun.



Also: Whoever the hell I want. c:




“What is art but life upon the larger scale, the higher. When, graduating up in a spiral line of still expanding and ascending gyres, it pushes toward the intense significance of all things, hungry for the infinite?”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

+F.A.Q. This s**t+
Got a question? Confused? Please ask! You might be helping out other people with your questions!

Common Questions, and more information:

Just in case you're wondering; One of the types of art being sold is listed as "Experimental". Amazing things might come of this if the avatar or OC who wins really intrigues Cat. It also means she's taking your avatar/OC as a 'general guide' and editing where she sees fit. Weird! This kind of art will be epic, because she will have the most fun with it, and thus will do whatever looks the best to her, rather than trying to keep as close to the avatar/character as possible.

True Fact: Catsu is known for being a lazy scumball, so she rarely opens slots. Her slots don't allow fullbody pictures anyways! This auction may be your only chance to get Fullbody art, let alone full body couple, for the next year. It may also be the only way you'll get art from her for more than a few months.
