Memorial Day (which also happens to be my wedding day - hooray!) is coming, and marks the unofficial start of summer! So I figured it was time to do a new free icon drive, this time with the theme Summer Vacation!

Everyone will receive a free 100x100 pixel icon of their character done in the style of my current icon.

Rules: Please follow the rules if you'd like a free icon :)

One request per person! This rule will only change if the tips reach the appropriate amount. If you are half of a couple and the two of you would like a pair of icons of adorable nuzzling, please have your partner add a comment to yours and/or note in your comment that your partner will be commenting as well.

I'm okay with fan art styles & species. If you have a Pokemorph, Digimorph, My Little Pony, or whatever-based character, I am totally cool drawing them! I will not, however, draw Rainbow Dash, Renamon, or any other specific copyrighted characters. The character can be based on a show or a species from the show, but can't be the character from the show itself.

I'm okay with drawing humans! A lot of people don't realize this, but I'm actually not too bad at drawing us furless apes.

Watch my account! Then you'll know when I do more specials like this! Not to mention see all my pretty art :)

Link back to this journal! Please include a link to this post in your own FA journal, Twitter, LiveJournal, or wherever :)

In Your Comment, Please Include: A reference pic or description of your character. Links on FA are fine (and encouraged!). Please include species, fur color, eye color, hair color, and any details that make your character yours!

If your reference is Not Safe For Work, PLEASE MARK IT AS SUCH.

Please list your vacation destination and/or outfit preferences, assuming you have them. Wanna climb Mount Everest in a swimsuit? I'm cool with that, just let me know! I'm currently assuming that most folks would prefer summery things like, you know, the beach or Disney World ;)

Tip Incentive Commissions
If you add specific amounts to my tip jar, you will get goodies! All of these are in addition to the icon that you will be receiving.

Full-Body Vacation Pics - For $25, your icon will clipped out of a full-body shot of your character at the destination of your choice! If you would like multiple characters, each additional character is $10. This is the best way to get inexpensive commissions from me :) (Please note: if you want your character to be at the beach, please let me know how clothed you want them and whether anatomically correct nakedness is okay!)

Sugar Rush Badge - For $40, which includes printing, lamination, badge clips & shipping, you will get a Sugar Rush badge in the style of the one I did for Chiaroscuro. These are the themed badges I'll be doing for Anthrocon this year, but since I'm not going to Anthrocon, the only way to get them from me will be through FA!

If you choose this incentive, please include your favorite type of candy as well as your address with your tip! Also please note that since shipping is included, if you'd like multiple badges, just ask about the price if they're all being shipped to the same place!

Mood Icons - If you would like to tip big, $100 will get you a set of emoticons similar to the ones I did for Tigerdile.com! You will get 38 icons and each will be 24x24px, suitable for use on LiveJournal or other sites that let you use unique emoticons (I have to wonder why FA's emoticons don't involve Fender or Rednef. Hmmm!)

Also, don't forget: even if you only tip a dollar or two, it still means you get a second icon if I reach my goals! If 100 people tip me a buck, that's $100!

If Tips Reach…

$50 - Thank you! You helped pay some of my medical bills for the past couple months (this is NOT EXCITING but at least I'm honest). - Goal achieved! Thank you! :D
$100 - Every icon requested will be drawn. I'm going to try to draw as many of these as possible, but I will only guarantee EVERY one if I reach this much in tips Goal achieved! Thank you! :D
$250 - Everyone who tips will get a second icon! Probably something involving sunglasses or a similarly summery theme.
$500 - EVERYONE gets a second icon.

If the tip level goes higher than this, I will include more incentives!

Timeline

I work pretty quickly, and obviously I am guaranteeing everyone will get their badges before Anthrocon…but that's not till July, giving me plenty of time to work! I do have my wedding coming up (though the honeymoon isn't until September), so that might occupy a fair bit of my time in the immediate future. This journal will be updated as things progress :)

Free icon requests are NOW CLOSED. If you are interested in getting an icon, please Note me - I will still take them as commissions!

Thanks very much in advance, everybody!
