Art auction, LOL.

INTRODUCTION POST:
Yays.

Hi, hi, welcome to my first exciting art auction! I thought an auction would be a great way to kick off the summer in grand style -- hence I'm running this auction which starts on May 21st and will end on June 21st, the first day of summer (and, unrelatedly, my brother's birthday).

Please read through the posted information, especially the rules, before posting or bidding. Feel free to hang out -- I'll be here all month!!! -- and please, if you have a heart, link the thread and tell your friends.

This thread acts as a supplement to my main shop, Relia's <3rt Shop, where I sell custom, a la carte commissions. My shop will be closed for the duration of the auction, and will reopen in a limited capacity after that, for the remainder of the summer -- so what you get here, you won't be able to get through my regular shop. This is the goods.

_______________________________________________

ABOUT ME:
Yays.

I'm Relia, I run an art shop over in the regular R&C, and I am perhaps best known for my shop's cutting edge and ahead-of-its-time apparently really difficult to understand a la carte pricing scheme, if not my insightful shop article on the merits of Roth 401(k). Sadly, on both counts, I am entirely serious.

I am a grown-up and a full-time corporate employee, but I still find time to be incredibly charming.

And now I have an auction, besides that.

RULES POST:
Yays.

( 1 ) Be nice! Please!

( 2 ) DO NOT claim the artist's work as your own, or otherwise misrepresent its origins! All commissions are watermarked with the artist's name(s) as well as the names of the characters' owners. DO NOT REMOVE THIS WATERMARK -- PLEASE! heart

( 3 ) I will host images to my server space for a limited time -- you will be notified as to how long this will be. Please use that time to move the image over to your own server space.

( 4 ) Please do not request any work that is on my "WILL NOT DRAW" list. That list is for things I will not draw! sweatdrop

( 5 ) Please do not bid if you cannot pay the full price of your bid by the end of the auction.

( 6 ) Please pay attention to the listing of approved forms of payment! If you cannot meet these guidelines, please vend your own items to get the needed pure. As much as I would love to be paid in the form of 500 billion blush matte floor tiles for my nonexistent home, I kind of wouldn't. xd

( 7 ) Bumps are allowed and appreciated. Bumps will be rewarded with free hearts! heart heart heart See also the freebie offers below!

( 8 ) Feel free to come hang out and chat, but don't just plug your own threads in mine. Take off your shoes, stay awhile! The other way is inconsiderate and just makes people sad. cry heart

( 9 ) FOLLOW GAIA TOS. Naturally!

( 10 ) Please don't post pictures that are too wide for my browser to be friends with. The horizontal scroll bar is my mortal enemy! If your picture is wide, please give us a link instead. heart

( 11 ) We do not accept deferred payments or collateral. Please see rules 5 and 6. This is completely unfair to those people who are able to make their payments at the beginning of the contract.

( 12 ) All images are considered completed works as-is at the time when they are delivered to you. They are yours to enjoy and to display with proper credit, but not to alter in any way. You do not have permission to color or ink the image yourself. Please do not resize or crop the image unless I have given you permission to do so.

( 13 ) The price agreed upon between artist and buyer is considered locked once the trade has been started. At no time are these prices open for renegotiation either by the artist or by the buyer. No adjustments will be made for inflation or deflation of items.

( 14 ) Snipe Guard is in effect -- if a bid occurs within the last five minutes of the auction, the auction will be extended by ten minutes to allow counter-bidding.
