[CLOSED] FREE ICON FRIDAY: APRIL CHARITY EDITION (WAVE 4)
13 years ago
Hey guys!! This month, I am raising money for Rick's Reptile Rescue, a local charity ran by two very sweet people out of their own home. I will be seeing them at the reptile show next month and wanted to be able to do something for them, but with my financial situation so up-and-down lately I am not able to make a significant donation out of my own pocket alone. The Paypal link on their site is not currently working, so I will be making the donation in person in May.
Carol, how the flip does the reptile rescue benefit from you doing free icons?
They don't. There are multiple tiers of icons for contributors to the donation pool. Those who spread the word will still receive free icons in compensation. C:

Individual Donation Incentives:
--$1 Shaded Icon
--$5 Shaded Icon, Chibi Icon
--$10 Shaded Icon, Chibi Icon x2
--$15+ Shaded Icon x2, Chibi Icon x2
Total Donation Bonuses:
REACHED: $50 All Contributors bumped one level (Inked -> Colored)
REACHED: $75 All Contributors bumped two levels (Inked -> Shaded)
REACHED: $100 Random Draw: Select Contributors receive character sketches
REACHED: $150 Random Draw: Select Contributors receive art cards
REACHED: $200 Random Draw: Select Contributors will receive super secret appreciation prize
Why this format? Why the sketches?
Sketches take me anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes to complete, as opposed to the one or two hours I need for a full color icon with shading. This is the only feasible way I can offer something for everyone. This method encourages people to give what they can afford.
How do I get my icon?
Make a journal advertising this journal, first! Then, comment below with your character's name and a SFW reference of your character - I absolutely CAN NOT work from NSFW references at this time. If there is anything important about your character that I cannot learn from the reference, you need to tell me in your comment! Edits will not be made to free icons (but if you ask, I can edit paid icons).
What's SFW/NSFW mean?
Safe For Work or Not Safe For Work. SFW references show only PG nudity with no visible nipples or genitalia. If it needs to be marked "Mature" on FurAffinity's rating system, I cannot use it for reference at this time.
Can I edit or repost my icon?
Yes! However, I would really prefer you ask me first! Color it, shade it, apply animated rainbow filters - I don't mind. I simply ask that you credit me for the work I have done, especially if you post it in your gallery here or on another site. :)
How do I pay you for an icon?
There is a Paypal link at the bottom of this journal entry. It is VERY important that you attach your FURAFFINITY USERNAME in the note with your payment, OR your PAYPAL ADDRESS in the comment you leave on this journal! Both is preferred! Anonymous tips are appreciated, but I would really prefer being able to give you something in return!
May I pay for multiple icons?
Yes!! If you would like to make a more sizable donation, I will gladly do work for you for multiple characters, ie splitting $20 between two characters. This is only offered "within reason" - $10 split between two characters is okay - $10 split between ten characters is not.
>>>>> READY? SET? GO! <<<<<
Just like last time, I am requiring you to advertise the journal to receive art from it. Please don't forget!

>>>>> PAYPAL DONATION LINK <<<<<
I want to go ahead and thank everyone in advance to your contributions. I will gladly provide proof of the donation once April is over. The Paypal link on Rick's site is not presently working, so I will be writing them a check in person.
I will be keeping track of owed icons and progress on THIS PAGE. They will be sent out in notes in waves.
Please do not respond with "I'd love to donate but I can't," or "I'd love to, but I don't have Paypal" - I know you mean well, but it is a little disheartening and comes across as rather rude. It's okay to not donate! That is why I am offering free icons in the first place. You do not need to make excuses. :)
I will be hiding comments on delivered icons. Please pardon the housekeeping.

I made a journal here: http://sfw.furaffinity.net/journal/3404389/
And the image is: http://sfw.furaffinity.net/view/5645140/
I don't have a reference image, because this is for an entirely new character I've come up with. I should ask, before I make my request: How are you with drawing avian characters? The idea involves a puffin of mine.
His name is Frato Auciunus (pronounced Auk-yoo-nuss, just for the record); he looks like a regular puffin, aside from the fact that he has small spirals on each of his cheeks, and that his eyes are a dazzling sky blue. He's quite handsome too; personality-wise he's very warm and inviting, so if that could come across in that image, it would be splendid. (He is also a hypnotist, but this icon will just be a general image of him.)
My (new) PayPal address is otterinabib [at] gmail [dot] com; I can only really afford to give you a dollar right now, as I don't have very much cash in hand, but when I do, I'll follow it up with a larger donation.
Money's been sent.
Jumping on, but I'll be back around 5-pm EST with my paypal :3
I'll note you with details, never had this character drawn before.
