Heya, gang! First of all, we'd like to thank you, our loyal and awesome readers, for coming back after the show! :D As you can see, we're heading straight into developing our very first issue of T10K for print. One of the things we have said since the very beginning was that our goal has always been to produce not only a webcomic, but high-quality printed copies of each issue! So as we were laying out the back cover we realized... well, the photographer is actually the subject in this photo, and no one else in the T10K crew we'd trust with a camera. (Maybe Matilda, but she always cuts off the heads.)

So, we need a photographer!* Or at least, with the lights and makeup all done, we just need someone to hit the button on the camera. Who will be featured as the photographer for our back cover? Here's where YOU come in!

In anticipation of the impending release of the first issue of T10K, we'd like to auction off this YCH (Your Character Here!) for this important piece of art! All funds from this auction will go towards printing this bad boy in the best and sexiest format possible, which also includes mailing pre-orders.

WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING FOR:

The winner of the auction will have their character or fursona featured as the photographer on the back cover and will get the following:

1. Character featured on the back cover of the first issue of T10K.

2. Two first print issues of the comic. (One for you and one for whatever friend you might like enough to share one with.)

3. A copy of the 2015 T10K sketchbook with a one of a kind sketch on the cover from one of us.

4. A bonus gift. (A surprise but a neat surprise!)

5. The final back cover printed as an 11 x 17 poster just for the winning bidder. No other posters of this back cover art will be produced or sold.

All of these things will be mailed to you no matter where you reside in the world. As long as a postal service can get it there, you'll get it!

Everything will be recieved by the winner by the beginning of April 2016.

RULES

However, since this scene has to fit into the T10K universe (and go to print) there are a few rules for bidding we need to clarify below.

1) We are looking for 'normal' folks who aren't sparkledogs or non-natural colours or combination hybrids/species. (Dyed fur patterns or tattoos are ok within reason. Like we can't go entirely pink this time.)

2) Unfortunately, for this particular situation, we are not going to accept mythical animals at this time. Because of visual continuity we also cannot accept anything with a human likeness, such as sphinxes or mermaids.

If you want to bid but are concerned that your character may not work - go ahead and link us a safe for work ref and ask us! We'll let you know, honest.

PUBLICATION

We do not own or have the rights to your character other than to use them on this back cover. Your character will not appear again in the comic at any other time unless express permission is given by you.

Winning the auction gives us permission to use this back cover art for first issue printings with no other compensation other than what you get when the auction is completed and paid: the back cover, the 2 printed first issues, sketchbook, bonus gift, and printed back cover poster.

By bidding on this auction, you have agreed to the above terms. If you have any other questions or concerns, let us know in a note and we'll absolutely address it.
