Welcome to Gaia! ::

Everyone Josh has a dream...that one day...he will rule the ZOMG world!!! And this dream will one day come true (with the help from his awsome guild) to own the new ring that is not soul bound! So with that being said...since I like to give stuff away. Please help Josh get the new ring...unfortunally it's quite the chunk of gold and it's just gonna rise up in price...so i will let Josh keep track of how much it costs and how much he has left after the gold that he already has and the gold that will be donated. (Josh: Don't spend any gold that's meant for the ring on something else) I will even start with a huge chunk for it...50,000 gold!



Josh's Dreams that are completed!
Ring for ZOMG.

Ah, Brooke, but I've many dreams, fame always trumping might, but getting that ring would be helpful, indeed. It's mostly about the prestige of having all of the rings in the game at CL 10, which I did, before this one came out.
I'm quite close, as I only need 100-some more. I remember the ring having gone for 400-something K, and as I'm at 314 K, presently, I may only need two or three people to be as generous as the two of you have been... If it doesn't go up in price.
Of course I'm not capping the donations, then. I did have my eye on a one million gold item (which I may have already, depending on the results of a trade that's in the works, but I'm not counting my chickens, yet) and another five million gold item, that I've now but given up on. Hopefully this drive will go better than recent ones. I suppose we'll just have to see. On that note, I am accepting smaller donations. Every little bit helps. Also, if you're not collecting tin cans, paper bags, boots, and tires as well, if you have some that you're looking to get rid of them.
Brooke, and Tori, you've my deepest thanks, and Brooke; Welcome back.

Well, now publicly called out and put on the spot, I'd sat that I have little choice in the matter, wouldn't I? stare
Kidding, kidding. It's a small price, in reality.
I demand only one stipulation. I will draw one and only one picture. This means that either you or Tori need to toss in a little more, or someone else needs to donate an excess of 50 K. If there's a tie... Hm. Well, how about we cross that bridge if and when we come to it?

It looks like my close (insofar as my schedule and computer allowed) attention to the market has paid off. I was able to purchase the ring for 350 K.
Now if you don't want to continue the trade, Brooke, I'll understand, but on the other hand, I do have many other things on my list of desired objects and all of them are unbelievably expensive. I promise you that if accepted, the traded gold will by no means be wasted.

My deepest thanks, and now I know just where it's going. Since that girl never got back to me about the Gogh Reed that I bought low (and intended to sell high) I guess I'll just keep it. I am committed to owning every black tailed coat on Gaia, so it was on my list, anyway.
Now I suppose it's time to aim really high and try for the Pale Marionette. (******** RIGs... I still hate you and am morally opposed to your existance but I suppose making just one exception won't kill me).
As for your drawing, I swear that unless I die or lose my sight or hand unexpectedly, I will have it for you, but as to the "when" of the matter it becomes a bit difficult. With school and my unbelievably low level of motivation towards most assigned projects (and uncontrolable drives towards my own, less substantial whims) accomplishing anything of merit aside is difficult for me.
I can say that within two weeks I shall at the very least have a pencil sketch. I may be a bit experimental with some new mediums, so bear with me, thereafter. I will do all that I can to make this 150 K avatar art.
So, how will it be? Would you like to be rendered just as you are now? And if so, in regard to the deathwhisper, how am I to take that when put into detail? Are the eyes in fact individually sexn shut, or is there some manner of visor covering both of them from which metal binding spikes extend?
EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot. Are there any poses that you have in mind for this drawing?

I think I can do that. Any preferance between my usual avatar or my current one? I think that the current may fit your theme a bit better, personally.
EDIT: If you don't have an answer soon, I'm definitely going to go with my current avatar. While Matasoga would find the idea of needlessly killing a friend, benefactor, and beautiful woman, the character that this avatar is based on would do it just for fun, and thus makes much more sense. I already have a good idea for it, so I really hope that you don't mind it.

Actually, I have roleplayed both in D & D and Illvringer (current avatar) is... Well, now literally nothing less than a deity, so Matasoga would be powerless to do anything. It also becomes an interesting picture because Ilvringer is only 3 feet tall.
I did an experimental sketch that I put to ink (that I'd show you if my scanner hadn't broken) to see what it would be like if I applied the ink to Illvringer with short, sharp strokes with an dip-pen and to your avatar with a brush pen (which works very, very well with the curves of a female body) and the effect is quite nice. I'll get started on a final when I have time.
I'm not sure if Matasoga will be in the final version, or not. I'll have to consider what would be best for the overall effect.

I'd say that my next dream is considerably larger. The only other thing that I really, really want that I don't already have is the Pale Marionette, the price of which hovers around a cool five million.
