Here's hoping she gets a good home

Same ♥

Same.

I hope too, especially when this beautiful dragoness (old design) inspired me to create my dragon character.

Read the description

The description says why.

Because medical bills are expensive and have incurred a debt making this move necessary for the artist. Hence the huge minimum bid. She's not parting with the design lightly, but because the debt is causing problems.

Because she needs the money, and hopefully this character can get her the money she needs

Hoping whoever takes her under their wing takes great care of her;-;

Me too ;;

Same, I honestly wish I could just win the lottery right now and help Tartii ;w;

Not something I can pay for but the amount of art that would come with makes the price absolutely fair, and for such a beautiful character. I hope she goes to a good home, and I’m sorry your finances are at the point where you have to do this.

I don’t have the money to buy anything, but do you have a ko-fi or something similar where I can do a one time donation?

Uhm yes. ;;

I also have the shiny option here on FA that is really nice! If you click on my page, down near the bottom it should list it as an option! ;;

Thanks, sent some money. Good luck <3

Hopefully once I get some more cash on hand I can see about commissioning you too

Thankyou, you are so sweeeet. ;_______;

Going to second what Vellet says, I'm going to look into chucking some money your way as well, likely in the form of comission.

Doesn't feel like it's really coming with art considering THIS design is a redesign with different markings.

Holy crap. When i was this i was taken off guard. I hope the person who gets her gives her a good home. I wish i could take her but i dont have 5 thousand dollars X.x

I hope some non-creeper gets her.

man if i had 5k to drop i would! i love her design, hell id make sure i would draw her all the damn time XD

I hope the best for her and that she gets a home that will draw/commission her a lot!

I hope she finds a good home! For a long time, she was one of my favorite dragons on the net (still is!).

I'd give her a home in a heartbeat if I could, especially to support one of my favorite artists, but as I seem to not have luck in the lottery, I'll at least signal boost for you! ^^

Sad that it had 2 come 2 this, but since it is necessary, I hope she goes 2 a good home
Hopefully all the bills get played or have enough played that you can pay them off with not much trouble (wish I had the $, but being in a min wage job, in Canada, is hard enough, certainly living alone)

This is heartbreaking. I would buy her if I had the money just to give her back to you because I’d feel I’d be stealing such an important character to you. I hope everything gets sorted in life and I’m truly sorry.

Yeah, it’s saddening, I would too...

Same

I'd do the exact same, buy her and give her right back

I certainly hope she finds a good home! I'm not ashamed to say that this lass brought me onto FA years ago. That's a lot of hard work that comes with this character! Good luck to anyone participating, and I hope you find yourself in a less tight situation Tartii.

😑 some people need to learn to read 🙄
Hopefully your able to find a good home for her

Aww I hope she gets a good home. Always will be such a beautiful and amazing design!

I do see how this is a difficult decision ><;
Hope it all works out and that she gets a good owner!

In hindsight. If i had the money id give it to you for you to keep your character. Im so shocked about this

I'm so sorry to see that you're parting with her, hon. I always loved this design and what part of you it represented. <3

Holy crap. I saw the thumbnail and was really excited that you'd picked her up as a sona again - I loved seeing art of her when you still used her. This is... wow.
I hope you find a buyer, and her, a good owner!

Well sadly I have nowhere near enough cash for something as cool as this but. I hope she goes to a wonderful home. I also hope you get enough to cover your expenses I know how much medical bills can suck. All and all I hope everything goes well and have to say your artwork is amazing ^-^

So sorry to hear this, hope if someone buys them, that they go to a good home >.<

why no offers under $5,000, beside the medical & debt reasons?

I know you probably won't listen to this, but I feel it needs to be said, you shouldn't do this. I've been around the community enough to know that the kind of people who shell out this kind of money will ruin the legacy you put into Tartiidrake. These are the kind of people who will turn around and, since they now own the character, demand (legally so, and supported by the rules of most art share sites) that most if not all images of the character be removed.

Please reconsider.

I mean sure, if you can make their medical bills just disappear that would be great.

There are many MANY other solutions. A charity stream would be much more likely to be successful.

That's great that you think that.

Yeah and I'm sure a charity stream would magically make their soured feelings towards this character magically go away, too.

Cool story
Not your character tho, not your problem. Tartii can do what Tartii wants with this character, end point. Period.

A GoFundMe might work, if people of the community all pitch in

Tartii has over 20k followers. If even 1/5 of them could donate even a dollar, that'd cover the minimum bid. And most donations on Streams are 10 or more, I've even seen some insane offers for no reward.

True and if we all do give something, she could, possibly even keep her derg, it makes me sad to see her up here 4 sale, certainly that I wanted to get art with her eventually
Kinda wished I have been reading my journal notifications now, I get so many, never knew how bad her health was

You make an excellent point. I know I will do my part to help out and I'm confident that many others will as well

I think people might be missing the entire point of the fact that Tartii wants to be rid of the character. ><; This is a two birds one stone kind of thing.

Just throwing it out there... coming from a furry who has a decent following on TikTok... like i mean i have 35k followers and fell into medical debt and when a friend set up a gofundme and i spread the word... nothing happened. I am currently selling another character of mine to pay it off. So yeah that only works if people are willing to help and most people dont want to give unless they get.

I hope my donation helps, even though it is little
🙂

I don't have nearly enough but if I could afford it I would pay and let you keep her. The reputation she has, I don't trust myself to carry it out. I'm sorry to hear about the money thing, and I pray everything works out.

Not sure if this counts as "screeching", but what are your plans if you don't get even the minimum $5K bid within a long span of time?

I wish I could help you out bud. I'd happy give you twice that just to cover your expenses, and let you keep her. I wish I had that ability. I wish you the best of luck.

Gosh, I'm sorry to hear your money problems are causing you to part with this character, Tartii. Given how long you've owned her, and all the art you've drawn of her, it's almost like parting with a piece of your soul. Hoping and praying she goes to a very good home >w< <3

Holy shit.

Aw man :( I hope someone pays up and gives you the character back, sentimental value is important. Medical bills are so fucked up. Hope you get through this alright.

I didn't know things were getting kind of rough. Medical bills can definitely be the death knell to folks. I'm not sure if there's other things you're doing just in case the goal to exceed the minimum bid can't be met. Donations will be definitely something I can do. I only hope the character goes to a better home and don't disappear into nothinness.

Medical bills can definitely make things rough. Hope things do turn around and improve.

May your new home be a good one you gorgeous dragon.

This is an extremely cute dragoness

shes very pretty

Holy crap... I hope whoever gets her does her justice. She's a lovely dragoness and she deserves to be looked after.

I'm... a bit too stunned to properly comment, but I want to show that I see this...
Your situation must be absolutely dire to even consider selling such an old and well-regarded character...

Such a great character, I hope she goes to someone good. I really hope you can get past whatever troubles you have right now. Genuinely surprised to see that this is a thing. Best of luck and wishes to you.

I hope all goes well with this, and everything that comes your way!

Oh geeze sorry to hear it's come to this, I hope she gets a good home and you can get back on your feet

Ever tho of what you did in past could work better than selling a character, i think it was a vore with different kind of goal as your dragon was getting feed or something like this, aside of this it can be a good way to actually raise money for the medical debt you talk about

aw, noooo. don't do thaaat. do a charity stream or a gofundme!

That is what I was thinking, cus a GFM everyone that follows her could give a dollar and raise enough $ to take care of a big chunk of her bills

I can certainly sympathize with hard times requiring sacrifice.
I wish you the best of luck in getting a willing and suitable offer that helps you out.
You've had that precious dragon for a long time now, and I can't imagine how hard it is to have to do this...

There's something so horribly tragically wrong about all this. It's heartbreaking and I don't even know you on a personal level. Part of me wants to pay the money and hand the design right back to you but I couldn't help even if I emptied every dime in my bank.

I sincerely hope your luck takes a significant turn for the better and soon.

Agreed

Seconded.

This is too damn sad. No one should have to resort to this. I wish you the best of fortune.

I will never understand people who are saying "noo dont do that, I really like the character" - That is incredibly selfish and offering alternatives just, as friendly as they might mean it, wouldnt work in this situation. Since you've drawn the design and made the character, you can choose what you do with it, and right now there are some things more important than some pixels on a screen, such as... I dont know, the wellbeing of the person behind those pixels? I can understand people's attachment to the character, but all these comments about telling you not to do things for THEIR sake just comes across as crude. You have weighted your options, this is that option, and others should respect it. Its not easy for anyone to see this happen, especially for you.

Sorry you have to deal with this on top of selling something with memories attached to it. No matter the type of memories - it must be sour either way. Good luck with the auction and your bills!

I'm not against anything about the situation or what needs to be done.

There is the fact that people can care about the character and the person who is in a rough enough situation to sell the character, even if it may not seem like it.
Just because these things may not work or be the best shouldn't totally invalidate the fact that they mean well, aside from those that may only care for the character, but even then I don't believe those people would say anything towards this.

Often kind words are better than nothing at all, at least personally. I don't feel like these people should be bashed for their own little ways of trying to help, even if its like trying to put a bandaid on a baler wound.

May i just say that in this instance, it would be best to consider the point of view from everyone, and to perhaps hold your typing before posting.

That being said, I hope this doesn't come off as harsh, as this situation needs no further ill feelings.

Im not against this situation either, and I completely understand the feelings people have with a well-known character. I just personally felt that such comments added into an already difficult situation and brought down the mood, further and further. I didnt mean to bash anyone's help either, and Im sorry if I came off that way. It just looked like a flood of comments offering advice that wasnt asked for in a situation where money is needed in place of hints on what should be done instead to achieve the goal. The reason I wrote the comment IS because I care about the person and the character. Its a sad situation all around and I didnt want to see it get sadder from people telling Tartii to not do something to help with medical bills.

I've also spent about 15 minutes writing and rewriting both my original post and this one, so I have held off posting. The reason why I did end up posting these was to show my support to Tartii as we all face difficult choices in life and I felt hers was the right one, as tough as it may have been. Im sorry if I have come off cruel towards others in the process.

I seriously clap my hands at this because exactly this so very very much. This is her creation and her history with the visual character and she has the ground upon the decision. I really wish everyone can understand that there are characters & personas that can have such both good and sour memories, some even very damaging. This too happened with a "dragon sona" of mine and I still have others ask me about him with their attachment and either unintentional or not, just like you said: it comes across as crude, and it is not easy to handle.

When I was scrolling down, I'm really happy to see your message here and showing your support, I had to reply because this is definitely spot on and even hits home here ;_; I wish her the very best too!

Oh holy hell, sorry to hear about your current situation, I don’t think I’d ever be able to give up Ashi, hope she finds a great home!

Sending you the best of wishes and greatest of luck!

Dang, some history is being made today. I never thought this would happen, but I guess anything is possible.

I want to extend my wishes that whoever receives her is genuine and true, and that they will give her the home she deserves.

I wish you well in health Tartii~

Oh nooo.... this is saaad. I hope tartiinever gets on adoption, she is my favorite character

I cant pay that much to buy it and retunr her to you. Do you have patreon or kofi ? I wanna support you

Would you be opposed to a co-ownership adoption type deal? Like what if 5 people each chipped in 1k and thus all 5 end up owning the character? I dunno, just spitballing ideas.

I'm afraid that is just way too many people to keep track of, and there are so many ways that could go wrong. :c

Fair enough. What would be the maximum then?

I would reeeaaally prefer just one person. ;; If I did a co-ownership it would have to be with people I know *very* well.

Fair enough. Merely spitballing ideas as noted. Unfortunately I recently purchased a vehicle, so I simply do not have those sort of funds anymore. However, I can donate a small sum towards your medical bills if you wish. Medical bills are never fair, especially here in Florida.

It's okay ;o;
Honestly...any help at all certainly helps immensely. A few folks have contributed through the FA shiny system, and have been incredibly kind. ;;

Would you prefer through FA shinies or Paypal? I am able to donate through Paypal directly in the event there are any sort of issues with FA's shiny system.

Well the shinies is directly linked to my paypal, so it is basically the same thing! ;;

Shinies donated ~

jKLJFSLKDJFLKDSJFLKS THAT IS A LOT OF SHINIES

I

T-THANKYOU ;____________;

Aaah, I'm so sorry you've had to resort to this... <:/

I'm afraid I don't have anywhere near enough money; but I really hope that you're able to get the expenses taken care of, and that she goes to a good home..!

Always been a big fan of your gal. I hope she goes to a good home.

I cant believe i'm seeing this, originál desing of Tartii on sále?... Well, not gonna lie, this making mě slightly upsad

I wish you the best of luck, Tartii <3

I'd hope whoever gets her would have the sensibility to discuss with you whether or not you'd want something like joint ownership!! I could not personally purchase and expect/demand full or near full rights unless certain the seller wanted such.

It's truely sad to see her go, especially with how much she has meant to you. If I had the money I'd buy her in a heartbeat and give her a great home.
here's hoping whoever grabs her loves her almost as much, if not AS MUCH as you do.
I'm sorry to hear what had to happen, and I know how much this must hurt you to do. For what it's worth, if you ever need to vent or just let off steam, my notes are always open. I know you dont really know me, but I do try to be someone who can be a good listener to those in need.
I really hope she goes to a good home...and I hope the medical bills are sorted out

Ah. I hope she will get a a person who will love her, as you did. I understand this move of yours, Tartii. If I could allow myself, I would give the first offer. I can only wish you a good luck to find a good person for this lovely dragoness of yours.

Oh jeez.. i can imagine that it feels horrible that you have to sell your own good to get money in somehow... i really hope it works out greatly and i also hope to whoever buys her gets a great owner and home. I wish you a lot of luck and hope everything works out for you in the end. And this hard desicion was worthy.

I really hope she finds a great home, I have always loved her design <3

Just the fact you have to do this has me in tears. I hope she goes to a wonderful home!

Definitely surprising to see for sure, hopefully you get a decent bid for her of course. hopefully whoever ends up purchasing this character, doesn't get harassed by people seeing it as wrong or cruel to do so with the intent to keep her.

Seems a fair price too, so the best of luck to you concerning that. i'll certainly offer a few shinnies myself, but, i'm sadly not really in the market for purchasing characters, even ones that i enjoyed quite a great deal. Though i'm rather surprised you didn't try reopening the sale of her merch to make money, i can only guess it's due to just needing that much, that quickly.

sad to see, I loved her alot, I hope she does go to a good home

Wow, I'd always hoped to get something cute with tartiidrake before you retired her, but i understand why you did and can understand why you're doing this now.

I wish i had that kind of fundage to put in a bid for her myself but all i can do is, like so many others, hope the person who does get her is a good home. <3

I really hope you get the money for your medical bills, I wish you didn't have to seel your character, but, I guess you are out of options, I wish you all the best in your endeavours, and I hope things work out

Oh my goodness, I feel for you that you have to sell her but I know that things can be really, really tough. I hope for you things turns out well for you and that all will get solved in a way that you're happy with <3 Sending some love your way as I can't send money <3

I want her, like really but people would be shocked about the kind of art I would get with this character afterwards I guess.
The character has a huge reputation, and this is a bigger problem than the money cost.

I wish I could help but I myself am in dire straits money wise atm Dx
I'll put in some funds to you ko-fi or via shiniesbwhen when I can but it probably will make little to no dent Dx
I do wish you the best of luck with this auction however! Though I am sorry for it to come to this for you :(

Oh gods Tartii .n. I really hope she finds a good home and that you'll be alright

You know when I first saw her she gave me so much inspiration for my own characters, hope she gets a good home, and hope you can get the medical debt covered

I hope you can find someone who can give her a good home. Best of luck to ya Tartii!

Oh geez I'd love to win this character, I have so many plans for it and I-- *sees the price* ;_;

Its basically 4 whole months of work T~T

Damn.. I'm gonna miss seeing this character in your possession
Hope she gets a good home and that you get good money for it soon ♥

Oof, I can only imagine how hard it must be for you right now to need to do this with a creation you've had for so long. I so do hope that aid comes forward for you Tartii, be it her selling or what donations you can get.

I have seen suggestions that an artist should start a gofundme page to bring the lovely lady home, do you think that would be allowed?

I don't know, it really makes me uneasy and uncomfortable...and I would really rather just...have her find a new home.

Yeah, thats fair... I hope she finds a new home soon! She's a wonderful character who deserves to be loved... and you need that money too!!
I hope everything goes well!

All the best to you Tartii~ To your health and her finding a good home!

Damn, I would love to work up to an offer but 5k out the blue is a bit of time..

Good luck, Tartii! Hope you're getting enough for the debts. :3

Oh man i hope debts and all will be settled soon :/ it's sad if someone has to sell their char for that. Just hurts to see it happening. I hope everything will be alright

Knowing that you have to sell something like that... hurts.
She's part of you, and she ever will be.
I understand why you're doing it, as you need to survive somehow, but this still hurts.
Hope you getting well again!

I would take her for a time until you can take her back, but I'm afraid that I would get into trouble than... -..-
Let's hope she will find a new home with someone who will protect her...

uff... good luck with that.

Sent you some shinies. Hope she goes to someone who will honor who she is.

I came over from your other account, I thought I had watched you over here already!

I wish you the best in this! Medical bills suck. ):

As someone who has been in your position of selling a popular character for similar reasons, reading some of these comments baffle me to no end. People can be so selfish. All the best Tartii, you know where I am if you need a friendly experienced ear <3

So much support. Very nice to see this. Ile donate via patron NummyNumz if it's similar. Whatever works best for you. I've been watch8ng your stuff for years so Its only fair. You have made wonderfully crafted characters and art. You deserve everything wonderful. No one deserves to struggle, especially talented artists like you. It happens a lot but there is always a way out. Here's hoping every day is better than the last :)

Wish you the best of luck with this. Hopefully someone wonderful will offer a great home.

Really glad to hear you got offers. Hope the money helps :) *sends good vibes*

:_: i truly hope her new player loves her <333
good luck poom

i hope whoever gets her does actually start selling the daki i missed my chance to get one

I wonder if the winner will make/commission more Tartii art

Probably not, since this character isn't Tartii anymore nor will they hold the name.

i think they mean "i wonder if they'll commission tartii for art of this character"

Oh if that's the case, maybe!! Who knows! XP

Giggles hoards soft things sounds like me

Sad to see her go, really loved seeing new art of her but i hope she finds a good new owner! Best of luck in selling her!

I hope she gets a good home and good owner

I'm so glad you've got some good offers on her!

Damn... If I had the money, I'd give you 20k and let you keep her too. I love your art. Hope she goes to a good home.

Something tells me that would be a bad idea lol. I adore tartiidrake, and Nummynumz always did her the best.... though I'd feel a little silly to pay thousands of dollars so a character would be allowed to dissapear. I'd rather they be given a new home with someone who loves them and gets them new art all the time... thats just me tho ^^

It's a scary last day... But I'm glad she's definitely getting a new home! I just hope her new owner loves her as much as we do!

oh nuuu... not the cute 'ness... D :

I hope she get's a very good new home and a loving, caring owner. ó.=.ò
She has always a place in our hearts.

It has been Sold, i wonder for how Much?

And Congratz to the Buyer, hope he/she is taking care of it ^^.

Well, I'm quite late on this... I hope it's not selfish to say a few words here.

It hurt when this character was shelved- her warm vibes helped me come to confident terms with things about myself- but more than that it hurt to know that she didn't make you happy any more. You gave her to us, and I guess we kind of ruined her for you. Given that, this is a perfectly sensible move, and it's a shame the burden of the community's attachments made it hard. It's a decision that I applaud; you were quite brave here.

Even if I had the money, I couldn't buy this character because I feel like I would be tainting something important to me. She made me smile, and though it's silly to say, she was like a friend to me, or at least someone I looked up to, and for that reason I personally could never be her muse... On the bright side, I am excited to see what the new owner does with her. Good luck with the expenses, Tartii, and long live TD!

God damn... Good luck!!

Si je comprends bien il n'y aurait plus d'art ou de commission avec se personnages. Personnellement sa serait triste mais bon si c'est pour prendre soin de l'artiste c'est le principal. Oui je suis un peu en retard a comprendre se qui se passe je m'en excuse.

i wonder who bought herin the end, but probably won't know ever, still congrats
