Auction - Stunning Artwork & Soundtrack for a good cause.
11 years ago
Hi!
We’d like to announce an auction for a collaboration between
ragnorena and 
luchs for a fully colored, high resolution digital artwork including a professional grade soundtrack accompanying it according to the specifications you give us to work with.
100% of the closing bid will be donated to the Naturama Projekt, a yearly event held since 2011 where contributing artists raise money for various projects supported by Naturama, all focused on helping to preserve our natures and animals health and diversity.
If you have a minute or two on your paws, please watch: (Looks best in Full HD!)
Auction Details and Dates
Starting bid: $200 (USD)
Auto bid: None
Minimum increase: $5
Bids must be placed here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5570334/
Auction will end earliest on Sunday, April 27th at 8pm CEST, but not before 5 minutes after the last bid has been placed.
Payment of the winning bid must be done before May 5th 2014.
Final products will be delivered by at latest end of October, 2014. Delivery may be delayed if the commissioner is unable to provide us with the bare minimum of information we require to start working by the end of May.
What you can expect
Both of us have been active in the fandom and on FurAffinity for a while, and thus invite you to look at our galleries and profiles on other platforms to get an idea of what quality and style you can expect from both of us.
From the visual part:
You will get a full detail digital painting, featuring 1 or 2 characters of your choice (if you need more, look at the ‘perks’ section!), a detailed background with fully rendered coloration. The final canvas size of the delivered painting will be Full HD (1920x1080) pixels - if you would like a different aspect ratio or resolution we’ll try to meet your requirements if we can, but you must let us know about it before we start working.
Acceptable subjects/themes: any animal species (anthro/ feral), humanoid characters, fantasy settings, medieval settings, sci-fi settings, tasteful or artistic nudity
Non-acceptable subjects/themes: +18 content such as explicit sexual acts, any fetish related art, gore and violence.
From the music:
Along with the artwork, you will receive a musical piece to go along with it, with estimated play-time of 2 to 3 minutes. The track will be written just for this very artwork, trying to accompany its expression and theme as close as possible. We’re comfortable working with a big variety of musical genres like big cinematic soundscapes, celtic-inspired medieval themes, sci-fi ambient, western, electronica or even just a plain symphonic orchestra.
We’ll try to meet any requests as close as we can and are happy to get any input from you to come up with a result you will like. Whether you give us references of sounds which you think are great, or simply describe a scenery or emotions you’d like us to portray, both will work - and if you’d rather just have us use artistic liberty and work without specifications for the musical part, this is an option as well.
The final audio track will be mixed and mastered with professional-grade equipment and delivered to you in both lossless (.flac) and lossy (.mp3) formats. If the bid amount is high enough and we collaborate with (an) additional singer(s), you will also receive an instrumental-only version of the song.
Perks
For every full $100 over the starting bid, you get one (1) perk point, which you can use to include additional content or services. (e.g. A winning bid of $330 would get 1 perk point; a winning bid of $500 would get 3 perk points).
The winner can spend their points to get those additional perks; including any of them will consume the points noted next to them, so the total number of picks cannot be valued more points than initially granted.
1 Perk Point: 1 (one) additional character. Can be used included up to ? times.
1 Perk Point: We’ll arrange up to 5 exclusive livestream sessions of at least 2 hours each with you, giving you the possibility to watch us work on your commission (and of course, raise comments).
2 Perk Points: We’ll take both the artwork and music, and turn it into a video with simple animation. Depending on the drawing, this could be a crackling, animated campfire, moving clouds, a shooting star at the night sky - or something completely different. We’re confident we can come up with something fitting.
2 Perk Points: We’ll ship - at no further costs for you - a professional, signed & unique canvas or poster print of the artwork (without frame), including a signed and labelled CD with the music.
2 Perk Points: We will reach out to both singers and instrumentalists who are willing to collaborate with us and lend their talents, turning the musical part into a song with lyrics. There’s always a risk that people are too busy or simply can’t contribute to a specific genre. Please accept that there’s a chance that we won’t be able to fulfill this perk, and may - throughout the time when we’re working on it - ask you to pick something else.
Rules
1. Bids are only considered valid on the dedicated FurAffinity journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5570334/
2. The winner accepts to send the full amount up-front within 7 days after the auction has ended. (Transfer will be made towards the Naturama bank account directly, we, the artists, will not be involved, but instead cross-check with the Naturama team to ensure payment has been made.)
3. Payment can be done via standard bank transfer (receiving bank is located in Germany) or PayPal, details about account numbers and names are available on the Naturama website.
Questions?
Feel free to ask them here, or send either of us a note directly. We’ll be happy to answer them.
Also, we’d much appreciate your help in supporting this auction (and the Naturama project as a whole) - please help us spread the word, share this with others, and check out the Naturama website! There are many talented artists on there - maybe there’s also one you always wanted to have a commission from, this could be your chance!
Thank you so much!

To be honest, I couldn't say for sure. We may do something similar again for Naturama 2015 if this works out well. Also, while we didn't have any plans to turn that into a type of commission which we'd offer on a regular basis, Ragna and I chatted just a few minutes ago to figure out what'd be the best answer to give you. We're not going to publicly announce or open any collaborative commission slots outside the Naturama charity auctions, but we're not opposed to the idea of considering such projects upon request - given our time and motivation permits it.
You can most certainly reach out to either of us in the future and let us know what kind of work you were looking for, and we'll let you know if we think that it's something we could accept as a commission at this time. If you're willing to take the risk that we may be busy and may have to postpone or - in the worst case - decline, then you don't have to consider the auction as a one time deal, but more like 'that one commission we really want to do for Naturama for which we have budgeted some time in the upcoming months'.
Also, thank you kindly for the watches on both our accounts.
