This is a charity auction for my little cousin Sharon and hopefully some other potential donation recipients (see profile ^-^).
Currently I am looking to give my cousin 1.4 million as that is how much
she lost from some unfortunate account mishaps.
Whatever is left after 1.4 million will go toward other questers for various other items.
I will not be keeping any amount of gold that this auction ends for.

This is a once in a life-time opportunity! If you don't already know
(most people do), I am terrible at taking commissions no matter
WHAT is offered. I have been this way for all the four years I've
been here. Meaning, when it comes to working with extrinsic
motivation to produce art, I can get pretty damn procrastinatory.
That is the reason why I'm doing physics in Virginia Tech and have
never, or will ever plan to, taken/take art classes or make any
sort of career out of it. To facilitate art production, I have decided
to implement a few (a**l, even) parameters of what I will and will
not draw.






A realistic picture of your avatar (or any other thing really) done with
Open Canvas with huge resolution.
Note that there aren't any backgrounds in my samples. I do know HOW do draw
backgrounds (I use references to look at for what I draw)
/custom banners/sexy font etcetera, so no worries.
Filters are not hard to play with if you want any of those.
If you want me to draw you IRL with your avatar accessories (preferred)
please provide me with a photo and give me permission to use it
in my art. :3

The default will be a portrait.
For more OPTIONS of what I'd draw for you, bids must exceed...
For Waist up - 750k +
For waist up and background - 1 million +
For full body - 1 million +
For full body and background - 2 million+

Hopefully some time soon I will have enough time before
bidding ends to draw an example of a full body and background realistic picture. ^-^





When the bidding starts: March 29, 2007
When the bidding ends: May 1st, 2007 (12:00 AM EST)
Please do not bid on my art if you are going to rush me.
The tentative date ranges anywhere from one week to a month after bidding has ended. ^-^;





I will accept items and gold and value them myself.

PLEASE PM BIDS TO ME!
And post the bid here, too, because apparently you can't just PM bids. o.O
No bid retractions please!
Those are very difficult to manage and unfair!





What I will draw:
- Females
- Males
- Portraits
- Realism
exceptions
- Will draw couple if bid goes really high
- Will draw group if bid goes REALLY high


What I won't draw:
- Bulky avatars
- Ugly items/items that I absolutely HATE drawing
(I am a portrait artist with not much accessories if you haven't noticed)
- Erotica


(I may add more but that's all the parameters I can recall at the moment.)

To receive a freebie, bump 500 times on this thread!
Please count your bumps. There is no limit to how many
freebies you can get by doing this.

If you don't want to bump but you still want a
freebie-type-looking-piece-of-art (xD)
I guess you can BUY a freebie, but doesn't it seem silly
to have to pay for a...freebie? xD Anyway, I dunno how much people
would pay for a freebie type piece of art,
so I'm just going to set the AB at 150-200k a piece depending on
how complicated you are dressed.

OH let me specify exactly what the freebie will look like.
I am just going to sketch your avatar in open canvas
and I might color it if I fancy to do so. ^-^
I may do it in any style of art. I have a lot. xD


Hopefully soon there will be more samples of freebies, too!
Please PM me if you think you have won a freebie. 3nodding
