P I T C H :: Why I'm doing this
P S A First of all, I want to draw attention to the new rules at Anthrocon's 2012 Artists' Alley. Last year they changed a lot, so I want to be sure everyone who might be interested and didn't participate last year gets a chance to look at them ahead of time! In particular, this year, like last year, you will need to sign up ON LINE, BEFORE THE CON. No more at-con lottery. No more at-con craziness every morning. BIG CHANGE: we now will charge 5% for using Artists' Alley!.
I know, blasphemy, right? Thing is, my department was the only department not bringing in any revenue. In fact, we lost money every year. Supplies, credit card charges, cash registers, power rental, space rental, labor (union), charge-backs, etc. So, now I have to collect something. There were a few options that were considered, and the 5% fee was selected. It'll be deducted from daily payouts when you come to collect (rounded to the nearest dollar).
And with that PSA out of the way, on to the real reason I'm doing this:
B E C A U S E . . . January is now the unofficial month for me showing my appreciation for the artists in the community (aside from the usual thing, in the form of commissions). January 2013 marks the end of my 21st year in this fandom, and the 2nd annual RAAM!
You artists contribute so much to the community, beyond just what you do to make a buck. There's a vim to your vibe that I think is the engine for this fandom. I love that about you. (though I prefer emacs). There's this ripple effect I see echoing from what you do, from how you act and feel in your posts, from the art you draw, the stuff you craft, and the cheer you bring to each customer and friend with your creations.
The world needs more of that. The world needs more of YOU.
Throughout 2012, you've put up with all sorts of stress and change and drama and annoyances. Some more than others. Some A LOT more than others. Y'know that one customer who constantly asks for more free changes? Y'know that one dude who was all pissy about how you drew too many toes on his 8-limbed character who is NOT a spider? Y'know that one gal who complained 'cause you didn't deliver the art on time, even though she didn't give you a deadline? Y'know how the customs agent at the border TOOK ALL YOUR SHIT? (I'm looking at you, maxblackrabbit)
Yeah, you've put up with all sorts of grief. Well, here's a little something to balance that. It's after the holidays, y'all have gotten your gifts. Now it's time for one more. =)

I use random.org, per this completely indisputable method. It's repeatable, drama-free, and 100% fair. Go read up on it if you care. ;) It's the same method I use for Anthrocon's Artists' Alley raffle, and the same method I used last year.
D I S C L O S U R E
This raffle is completely unaffiliated with Anthrocon itself. This is totally my personal doing, and my personal funding. I did not coordinate with anyone on this in any way. Beyond just wanting to express some good will toward artists in general, as the Artists' Alley manager at Anthrocon I just wanted to avoid some at-con insanity by spreading the word about the big rules changes and lottery signup changes.

That's it!
Thank you so much to all the artists in this fandom. You all rock. :)

Thank you so much to all the artists in this fandom. You all rock. :)
R U L E S (detailed)
Here, let me elaborate:
(1) :: This is for artists only. You must be an artist who has done at least one public 'furry' or 'anthro' commission for someone in the past year. A 'public' commission is a piece of art you did for someone else that you shared with the community in some way (like an FA submission, DA submission, forum post, print sales, etc). This is for artists only. And by 'artist' I mean to include crafters, musicians, and writers, too, not just the visual folks. If you're just a fan/follower/watcher/dabbler like me, don't enter. I'll have another thing coming up soon where you'll get a chance at some free art. :)
(2) :: You must fill out THIS FORM before the deadline. Notes and comments do not count as entries. In that form you'll be asked for:
FA/DA/etc Name:
Link to your FA/DA/etc site:
Link to one public commission you did in 2011:
(if applicable*) Link to one commission/freebie you did for me before the raffle:
(3) :: Post a comment here saying "Beep. Beep. CAVEMAN!", and also link me to zero or more of your favorite artists. And if you're open for commissions, feel free to give yourself a shout-out in your comment. :)
Do those things, and you get 1 entry in the raffle! :)
* - Possible +2 BONUS! If you have done a commission or freebie art for me at any time before this journal is posted, you get TWO EXTRA entries in the raffle! That's a total of 3 entries! You still have to do step 2 and 3 to enter. DO NOT give me art now just to claim this bonus! It won't count! I'm not doing this to solicit freebies. I won't/can't stop you, of course, I'm just saying that doing so after this post won't earn you bonus points for this raffle.
My favorite artists are:
All of which very much prefer SFW, and the last two only post clean works.
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4272239/
Your comment rules say "commission/freebie" but the form only said "commission" - hope me linking to one of the gifts I did you was OK!
I am sort of secretly open for commissions now but will be officially open in the next few days when I get the first half of my 2013 price sheet up. So yes.
Here's an artist I only found out about recently who does rad stuff:
https://www.furaffinity.net/user/thebeesknees/
And you're officially in, thank you. :) Fixed the form to clarify commission "or" freebie
My Commissions are open at the moment <3
Favorite Artists:
you haven't commissioned me or requested so unfortunetly i dont have anything from you x3
You're in!
Hehe reminds me of The Flinstones. :P
Anywho, a few of my favorite artists are...(Be ready for a long list!)
And last but definitely not least...
I have so many more, but my list would get totally out of control if I didn't stop now. I would have to say that these are my top 10 artists that I am constantly inspired by.
It's
Bad yena. Remember your artists pages better. *smacks own hand*
Also, I am currently closed for commissions due to wanting to improve my techniques, and to finish up my queue. However, I am open for trades, requests, and auctions.
You're in the raffle, thanks!
This is a very kind gesture of you Rooth! :O
A few of my favorite artists:
You're in!
I think?
I have to know how to draw and be an artist to participate? if this is a contest? I do not understand
There is no art being awarded here.
*Filled out the form : check
*"Beep. Beep. CAVEMAN!": check:

Closed for commissions at the moment, drowning in Wyrm commissions. Will probably open for some silly, non Wyrm Valentines day things though. Cuz I'm drowning in fluff.
And wow, you sound busy! Good busy! =)
You're in!

And no, you didn't have to link the commission here, only in the form. :)

You're in!
List some artists...
...check.
Aaaaaaaand.... Beep. Beep. CAVEMAN!
Good choices!
You're in, btw. =)
But good of you to notice Rooth's origins! I created Ruth on FM, as Ruth in Pern. But I got hit on too much, and I hated not being able to talk, so I changed it to Rooth and changed him a bunch (hair, talking, magic, personality), and voom. There ya go. :)
And though you haven't done a commission for me, I do have two feet and a tail from you. I'll give you half credit for that. ^_^
BTW, spent the weekend at FC sharing a room with one of your costumes (Tyrnn). Very well done! He's harsh with the thing, though, so it's now in need of some repair, but wow, such an awesome piece of work.
Cool! :D Yeah Tyrnn's a cool dude, that costume was a ton of fun to make. Hopefully he maintains it so it will be around for a long time :)
Teehee! Ruth was so cute. And so cool. I really liked him (in case you couldn't tell). ;)
Cool, now you're in. :) And we may have a chat before long, via Irime. :)
also. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8507012/
a commission i did for you a bit ago :3
Commissions are currently not open, but will be soon enough. Keep a look out for livestream commissions :3
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
And an awesome one at that. :) Might get you to do a sequel some day. ^_^
Heh, irime worked for me at AC last year. I totally knows her! She rocks.
Thanks for the other links!
And you're in. :)
So, Yeah, I put a form thingy in. You might recognise the links I provided.

That step made me giggle. x3
I am /semi/ open for commissions right now. Sorta. Kinda. I'm primarily a dragon artist for the time being, since I seem to fair hardcore at canine/feline headshapes. >.< More than likely just psyching myself out.
ANYWAY. Enough ramble.
Fave artists:
I also seem to fail at spelling! :B
You're in the list. :)
Yay.
I remember 18. I got in my first car wreck. And the internet only existed at colleges.
I'm tentatively open for commissions, will be totally open later, once I get through my queue.
But anyway. Speaking of commissions, I'm still excited to work on your beep beep cave(wo)man rabbit na'vi person thing. 8D (Yes. I did just do that.)
There are just too many artists to list! And most, if not all, of my faves have been listed already.
And I'm always open for commissions.
Thought I'd give this a try and I'd like to thank you for the opportunity!
I'm not open for large drawings as I need to work on the list I currently have!
