🎁 Anyone feeling the spirit of the Holidays? I know I am! 🎁
Quick, now's your chance to snag some cute Christmas/Holiday themed icons/portraits from yours truly! I put a lot of love and thought into these concepts, and I hope they will all find special characters to help complete them. These icons are inherently more complex than my standard icon/portrait commissions, and are all very special.

The visual examples provided are rough drafts only, and small details may change during the creation process. Final painting(s) will be fully detailed and rendered, like other pieces in my gallery. You can take a peek over here for examples of my finished work: http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/mylafox/

These icons are single slot only, meaning once they are claimed they are gone forever and will never be made available again in any format. You are free to bid on as many of them as you'd like (A-D), and as many times as you'd like until the auction closes. This is a truly 100% unique and original product that you simply will not get anywhere else!

Winner(s) will receive private lossless PNG hi-res files at 1080x1080 resolution with no watermarks. They will also receive smaller public files as well as FA-formatted GIFs ready for use on this site.

!!ATTENTION!! Before placing your bid(s), you must read and accept my YCH Terms of Service. You must be willing and able to communicate with me via e-mail upon winning.

Square (http://squareup.com) is my default and preferred payment processor, and account creation is not needed in order to send payment. If you require PayPal as an alternative, there will be an additional percentage-based cost that applies to the end price of the auction. Again, you must accept my terms and conditions (linked above), where this is described in greater detail.

Like my standard commissions, complexity fees may apply. If you're not already aware of them, please get yourself well acquainted before placing your bid. You can read about complexity fees and what invokes them here: http://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/mylafox/

Complexity fees will apply to the starting price of the auction only, not the final bid. This makes things most fair to you, the buyer. Since these icons start at $50, each 25% complexity fee will be $12.50.

Complexity fees will only be considered based on your character. None of the slots have a complexity fee by default, no matter how complex they may already be.

Remember that you are bidding on individual slots only, labeled by letter. Each slot starts at $50.

Rules and Guidelines (mostly) specific to this auction:

• Bidding for each slot starts at $50 USD.
• Bidding ends on December 4th at 8:00 PM EST (Eastern Standard Time)
• Minimum bid increment is $5 USD.
• No autobuy
• Bid sniping is prevented. If a bid is placed within the last half-hour of the auction, another half-hour will be added.
• Ask first, bid second. If you have any questions at all, ask me first! You can ask in private note, e-mail, or via general comments section below.
• Completion date/window of your painting will be up to one week after the auction's end (very quick turnaround compared to general commissions).
• As mentioned in my terms (which you've agreed to once placing your bid), you will not be given a sketch or other WIP shots to review. I will be completing this piece in one sitting using the reference(s) given.
• I will not stray much from the original sketch (including the background). Make sure you like how everything looks before bidding!
• Clear visual references must be available and should be provided to me before the auction's end, preferrably alongside your first bid.
• Any gender
• "Fluffy" characters (such as canids or felids) highly preferred, but I'll allow most anthro species (so long as it can reasonably work with the original sketch)
• Anthro characters only, no humans or human-like characters (I can draw them but they're not as fun to me!)
• If your character is a primate, please ask before bidding!
• No robots or inorganic/mechanical parts please (they tend to be a headache for me)! The only exception to this rule are Protogens, which I really love. Primagens are okay as well so long as you legally own one. (I *will* do research on you, please be honest about this!) Complexity fees apply to both.
• Fan art is okay, so long as the original YCH sketch accommodates
• SFW only, no nudity or adult content (cartoon nudity is okay with no visible "bits" or other sexual indications showing)
• No wings, they tend to clutter up icon space unless planned for ahead of time (sorry!)
• Horns are alright so long as they do not heavily conflict with the original sketch (such as slot "B")
• Custom attire and designs may be requested if the sketch calls for it, but if they are complex in nature, additional fees may apply. Note: "Cosplay" designs such as "B" and "D" may not be heavily altered.

Slot-specific notes:

• Slot A - "Let It Snow!" Your character is depicted gazing out at a cold winter's night, enjoying a nice warm mug of... something! Ugly Christmas sweater included, though the design is entirely up to you (same for the mug and contents)! If Christmas isn't your thing, no problem. Generic winter themes, other Holidays and designs are cool, too!
• Slot B - "Nose So Bright" Ready to help guide Santa's sleigh this year? Then don the reins and get ready to have your character transformed into Rudolph! Complete with glowing booper.
• Slot C - "Liiiights!" Do you love all the pretty lights that just sorta "show up" during the Holidays? Do they seem to love you back by getting wrapped up and tangled in your fur? Yes? Then this one's for you. Guaranteed to make your character shine beautifully!
• Slot D - "Here Comes Santa Claus!" For jolly and determined hearts only, this icon will give you perhaps one of the most important and taxing jobs of them all... Delivering toys to all the good little furs out there! Remember that any gender/identity can suit up and become Santa this year, beard not required! ;)

ALL BIDS ARE FINAL! Please do not hide or retract your bid(s). Be prepared to pay even if you've been outbid previously. Due to certain circumstances that may arise (cancellation, disqualifying, etc.) the winning bid may ultimately fall on you!

Place your bid by replying directly to highest bidder. Only starting bid replies directly to me. Failure to follow directions will result in your bid being hidden. If this happens, simply try again!

SB: $50
MI: $5
No AB

PAYMENT IS REQUIRED WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE AUCTION'S END.
WORK WILL NOT BEGIN UNTIL YOUR FULL PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE OR CANCEL YOUR BID FOR ANY REASON.

Thank you for looking, and extra thanks to all who participate! None of this would be possible without you. <333
☃️ Good luck to all, and Happy Holidays!!! ☃️
