Probably not going to move forward with this idea. sorry guys.
Alright, back when I started, I got into this by Pixilated Envy's pixel shop. She did the best she could and with the money she earned in this pixel shop, she donated to the AURB. Now, I hadn't thought of this as an official shop for the ball, but I really should have done this in the earlier balls.
I know there are people who know what pixel shops are, and those who don't. There are two different types of pixel shop, premades, and buildables (or a shop with both). These feature pure pixel art, or soft drawing images. These images can be sold cheapily, but multiple times, so if an artist draws for this, they only have to draw the item once.
All the items will be saved into a collective photobucket, so that the images can be grabbed when sold at any time.
So now that we have the idea down, we can get to maybe a general theme, and create items for it.
And I have notified Hikari about this idea.

lol. Well, we have to think of what we want to sell in this pixel shop first before we get people drawing the items for it. xD
Thanks for showing an interest though.

I suggested this for the BC shop as well but a general Ball theme might be good. Masquerade style items. Maybe we can build off that idea and create outfits that we see Royalty wearing now. That is, if we're building a doll shop.

Premades vs. buildables.
Will this include avatar pixel art?
Or those buildable dolls/animals?
Or possibly those premade dolls/cakes/random item pixels?
Basically I want to clarify whether or not you would be placing pixel artists (for gaia avatars) in the art shop, or if they would be included in the pixel shop.

If people just want to be pixel artists, I will not put them in the art shop.
And maybe I should make a poll, cause thats what we are trying to decide, if we want buildables or premades.
So if we do pixel avatars then I would not place those people in the art shop.

I remember roaming the guild's forums and seeing something about an advertising/hangout type thread. A possible theme as like a bed and breakfast, or cafe type shop. If that goes through, maybe pixel artists can offer premade food and beverages that people can buy and such?
that way you can just focus on deciding between buildables and avatar pixels.

That sounds well thought of, and I had actually seen that thread as well. I think having a theme to the pixel shop would be great, and having it be like the advert thread would just tie it all in. Food has been overused though, so having a theme may make it our only saving grace. Now depending on if we want to match the theme with the advert thread, we'd have to wait on what they decide on. Or we could decide our own theme, come up with the items we want to be pixelled out, and get to work, hoping that it may match the advert thread.

I do pure pixel art. No softies.
I'm willing to pixel for you.... maybe.
It's really going to depend entirely on the theme and how much time you give me to make it. The Halloween Collective is getting all my blood-themed food, and my own shop that I'm working on is a magical goods emporium.
Better yet, how about the theme for this shop be whatever the annual ball's theme is? That way it can be used to both promote the ball and raise money for it.

We will have to wait for the ball theme to finished getting voted on before we release the shop then.

Zodiac or CLassical Lit is our semi finalists, so now we have to think of ideas for each of them.
We could do a buildable zodiac character,
or have our shop center around maybe a book shop or a library.

jessieomer or have our shop center around maybe a book shop or a library. I don't know how well a book shop mini shop would do as there was one that seems to have died off, although it's owner doesn't seem to be around all that much if at all.... Another option if we get classic literature is to do noteworthy objects from books, but I don't know if we should wait too long... not a good idea. Maybe we can start as a book store then expand after we know what the room themes are to include novelty gifts based on noteworthy things from those books... like if there's a Shakespeare themed room, these might include things like a party invitation to the Capulet Ball, the love-in-idleness flower [Midsummer's Night Dream], Yorick's skull.
