Basic YCH rules
9 years ago
What is a YCH or “Your character here” commission?
A Your Character Here commission is a special type of commission where the person who offers it (the artist) provides an unfinished sketch of the final artwork.
During the course of a YCH you can bid for a to be finished version that will then feature your character of choice in the final piece.
The character will still feature the same pose and expression that the character rag doll in the sketch had.
YCH auctions have the big advantage of the buyer not being required to come up and define a pose, that he then has to explain to the artist.
Instead, he can just provide the artist with a character reference.
BASIC YCH RULES
1 STARTING BID :
A starting bid will be determined by me, and put in the description link and in the first comment below the auction.
It must be announced by somebody who is interested in bidding - before any other bids ( Must start somewhere ! )
It does count as a bid, the same bidder cannot both, start the auction and then bid over itself.
( EX : Starting bid is determined at 40 USD$, a bidder can announce either ''SB'' in comments, or the amount here 40 USD$ to start the auction. )
2 MINIMUM BIDDING :
Any new bid must be NOT below a certain value + the other bid / starting bid before him.
( EX : Min. bidding is at 5 USD$. Previous bid is at 40 USD$, must increase at least 45 USD$ to continue / comment below that bidder ! )
3 AUTOBUY :
AB is an price again, determined by myself, to buy automatically the sketch / concept.
The price includes a completed picture (And more options depending on the bid) and it skips the bidding process or stop it.
An interested bidder can announce ''AB'' or ''Autobuy'' at any moment, except when the bidding himself, is now over the value of the autobuy.
( EX : Autobuy at 100 USD$, the bid is now at 45 USD$ and the next bidder comment ''AB''. The auction is stopped since it's been bought. )
( BAD EX : Autobuy at 100 USD$, the bid is now at 125 USD$ and the next bidder comment ''AB''.
I will comment down the bidder to advertise the fault and will comment that the auction can go on since the AB option cannot be used anymore. )
4 GIVEN TIME, COUNTDOWN :
Every YCH is timed, with a precise countdown.
It's to give a basic idea of how many time the auction will be up, simply.
After what, the highest bidder, or the AB bidder will be chosen (depending on the case, see up in the rules)
Which brings me to the second point :
5 SNIPER BIDS / LAST SECONDS, MINUTES BIDS :
They're sort of part of the game, but since not everyone is in the same timezone; it isn't fair.
For example, the bid finished in a minute and you bid quickly.
No one can outbid you, because by the time you posted this; the auction is over.
6 SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY :
Please only bid if you have the money to pay for the bids you make.
Please do not bid if you're unsure about the amount of money you have or will have.
This will only result in complications since I will have to move the winning bid to an other and forth.
