Help Centra Move! Ladder Auction (Ended!)

The auction has ended!
It was a close call, but
flir ended up getting the winning bid ($525). Congrats, Flir! :D
I cannot thank everyone enough for participating (and advertising!) This is a challenging move because it's so sudden, but thanks to the FA community I'll have a bit of financial backing... which — needless to say — make the whole ordeal so much easier. Again (from the bottom of my ruddy heart) thank you!
CONFETTI AND FISH FOR EVERYONE. ;u;Auction ended! HEY GUYS. I've been offered a job as a graphic designer for StarCityGames.com, and will soon be starting the next leg of my life in scenic Roanoke, Virginia!
The only problem is, I have to move out in two weeks! It's very possible, but I figured a little financial cushion would be lovely. I'll have to pay rent on my Richmond apartment for another 3 months (almost $2000 towards a place I'm not living in), not to mention finding a new apartment/the down payment/etc. It'll be tight for a little while, though I don't really want to ask for donations. Free money is great, but I'd rather work for it!
Luckily, working full-time doesn't mean I can't still take commissions! I rarely do auctions, but I figure this is the best time/reason to offer one. I aim to have all the artwork completely done before August 15th. You'll have regular updates, and if I have trouble meeting that deadline I'll let you know so we can work around it.
What you are bidding on—
A full-detail, full-background painting with a character of your choice. More characters and bonus artwork can be added depending on how high the bidding goes (as laid out below):
Last Highest Bid: $525 (Flir)
Auction ends April 23rd~ (Sunday@midnight EST)
All ladder options are cumulative~ If the bidding reaches...
$200 — bonus sketchpage of your character
$250 — second sketchpage of your character
$300 — can add a second painted character
$400 — can add a third painted character
$500 — can add a fourth painted character
+700 — bonus sketchpages will be drawn a 8.5x5.5” landscape hardbound sketchbook, 20-40 sketch pages filled (with at least 5 having watercolor/pencil detail), and the copy can be mailed to you or picked up at a convention.
The more that's paid, the more I'll do for you~ Simple as that!
If you only want two characters painted, but the bidding gets up to four... another option can be negotiated (replacing the extra character with a speedpaint, etc... anything of equivalent time value).
Payments will be made via Paypal (ask if you prefer another method). Paying the money up front is ideal, but splitting up the payments (over a month or less) is also possible. Serious bids only. I need the money to move, and unfortunately good intentions don't pay the rent. <3
Bids start on the “BIDS START HERE” comment I will write. Good luck, and thanks so much for looking!
Even if you can't bid, advertising this would be greatly, greatly loved. <3

(I know i'll get outbid.. but ya never know!)
Hi Sun :3
<W<
You got it, Flir! I'll send you a note and we can work out all the details~
I sent Silvac an offer for a regular commission slot (even if it's not the auction, it's still art!), so although I can't speak for him, I don't think there will be any hard feelings. C:
then I was like :/
Well played good sah xD
Will definitely advertise for you, though.
It's so crazy to have to move this quickly, but I can't say I'm not excited! I've been in Richmond for 3 years, and I am *so* ready for a change in scenery. :'D
I know what you mean, though... my dad used to be military, and you'd be amazed at how many things can get damaged with even professional movers. They will find a way to destroy at least one expensive object per move... although, if you move from Japan to California you're bound to get some stuff destroyed/lost. XD
I so wish I had more funds so I could bid.
Also I dunno if you've thought about it or not, but you could try subletting your apartment for the months you won't be there.
I'm definitely looking into subletting... I'm just being on the super-safe side and making sure (even if I can't find someone) that the rent can be paid. Richmond is a college town, so I'm sureeee there will be people needing a place to stay soon.
*goes and lives in your empty house*
LOL
BRB MOVING IN TOMORROW
/HURP
idk if i had like a motorcycle it'd be one thing just cruise up there and be liek OK IM BABYSITTING YOUR PLACE LOL
but i dont have magical dragon flying powers ;-;
I'm so partial to Kagoshima that it's not even funny. Volcano in the harbor = yesplz
nuff sed.
LOL
#forever has pollution caked onto stuffed animals
I'm sorta surprised I haven't evolved into Captain Pollution, with how much crap I've had to breathe in over the years.
And I know, right!? The mountains... THE MOUNTAINS. <3 It's been ages since I've lived near mountains/other random pretty things... I wasn't expecting it to be so gorgeous. I guess I've been living in a gross city too long. ;u;
Soon, we shall be playing D&D together. Something tells me I also will pick up how to play Magic.
I want to bid, but. On the off chance that I won, it would be a six to eight business day wait until Paypal clears the transfer from my bank to my Paypal account. Would you be cool with that? D=
Yeah, that'd be totally fine! I wouldn't mind the wait~ C:
(which is a good thing!)
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF~
:D
;~;
Ya got me man. D:
I couldn't pass this up ;~;
well said xD
admire your work gobs and gobs, very glad for you.
And even better, relevant to the degree I have. I'M PROUD OF MYSELF. :B
I think the move will run smoothly... once I settle in on a place, everything will fall into line. X'D
My grandpa actually lives in OH... right near Lake Erie. Frickin' love the wineries up there. XD
:'D
Nekra~<3
Something tells me there's no way I could work at SCG without picking up Magic, lol. Oh my OCD, you shall be the death of me.
Full detail pic and bonus what a dream. <.<
fuuuuuuu bidders 500? gah D:<
Haha! The price is high, but I know I'll be giving at least 30 hours into this whole project. XD
bad i havent that money... :/
I can't wait to learn how to play Magic: The Gathering.
Hope it helps, even if its just a little! I can't wait to open a pack of Magic cards with your art all over them!!
I'm not doing actual artwork for MtG (at least not yet, har har... need experience!), although if you pre-order from StarCityGames they do sometimes have free tokens... which I have illustrated before, and I've been told I will illustrate again. :'D
I may have to do that. XD
And you'll be doing art for them eventually maybe right? I'll look forward to it. XD
I regret I can't jump on board this here project but it seems to me you don't need any help from me. You're awesome.
Thanks man! I'm soooo excited to be starting there... not only is it relevant to my degree, but I have a feeling my OCD will be put to good use there.
Star City's managed to survive intact through several waves of WoTC's vendor-hammering policies *and* a bad economy. There's definitive proof things are being done right. I'd guess you're there by now and getting used to the office dynamics. I have my fingers and toes crossed that you are having a ball, with all expectations exceeded.
I hope this job will be amazing for you and im glad you are moving into a new chapter! I hope you get like $5000000000 dollars XD
See, what you don't know is I secretly eat puppies and kittens for breakfast. And also my coffee is sweetened by orphan tears. DO I REALLY DESERVE HAPPINESS?
Even if I couldn't draw or couldn't hold an auction, I'm sure my parents would help me financially... but they've been so amazing over the years, I didn't want to stress them out with money or other things. My little sister is going to college, so this is the perfect time to get a job and not need them worrying about me all the time. X'D
That's her job now. AHAHAHA.
well it nice that you can still count on your parents for support when your really need them but I understand were your coming from wanting to stand on your own feet and not have to bother them if at all possible
I looking ford to seeing your new work and hope to get the chance to commission you in the future. ^^
Or I'll just dance to that goddamn Mario song.
...
GUESS WHICH ONE IS MORE LIKELY?
No but really I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU because as everyone has mentioned you are like the bees knees (what does that even mean) and one of the best and I hope this is everything you want and more more more and one day I will work with you no matter what so until then I'll just bide my time ;) CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Thank you soooo much, man! I'm super-excited about this, and I feel it can lead to a lot of really awesome things... heck, it already appeals to my OCD... that'd a double-rainbow bonus. The cool thing is, I'm still able to do illustration on the side (to pay for my fish habits, of course). So if you ever need a freelancing artist...
WINK WINK.
NUDGE NUDGE.
/bends dem bee knees
;D
I feel terrible advertising myself like that. HAHAHA. By the way, once I get settled in I really want (NEED) to finish that painting of Zal! It's sooo close to being finished, I can feel it! It's turning out to be one of my favorites. ;u;

(It wouldn't make a difference to post something here because I have too less watchers here XD And Nabyn is also too small, lol)
But then they had me selling credit cards, so... boo. Who ever wants to do that 8 hours a day?I will be spending 30+ hours on all the art in this project... so even if it is a lot up front, I'll definitely be working for it.
Or I could submit a stick figure to Flir, but I don't think he'd appreciate that much. x'D
