If You Hate Reading Skip To The End

So times are tough, and with moving again and having puppies and other things, I thought that mere commissions won't be enough. So I've decided to bust my butt and do a complex piece. The catch is that I will be putting it up for auction.

How this will work is you see the rough background I have now. I did this in about 2 hours, and it'll give you the idea of the scene. Sorry for the giant lettering over the top, but I don't want this stolen.

The winner of this auction will have a fully colored/shaded character (possibly characters if the price is good enough) inserted into this image. I left room in the image to alter it in case more ground is needed, but the ground is also removable if so desired. I'll edit the piece to fit the winner's idea. (No, you do not get to scrap it and start over, sorry)

To Bid:
Simply post a bid in the comments below. Watch the comments to see if you are outbid, as I will not be informing you. At the end of the auction time limit I will inform the high bidder they have won. At that time they need to send me the payment and reference(s) of their character(s) and a description of what they would like.

I am starting the bid at $20, as that is roughly two hours at my pay rate for work.
