Art Auction Fund-Raiser

[Love Renewed]

Hi Everyone. I am planning an Art Auction to add some funds for future Balls and mini events. I am going to do the set up and running/hosting of it. I am looking for volunteers to offer up any kind of art or graphics for it. Plus I will need one person to make the thread graphics. You should post here with what you want to offer and samples. The highest bidder will win everything you all offer. Together we will set the timeline.

Typically I run art auctions for a full month, then give the winner two weeks to send the trade. Once the trade is completed I have the winner pm the artists and let the winner know a predecided time frame. For example, last summer I did it for The Gaian Sponsored Nudity Event. Most people said they only needed two weeks, but a couple said to give them until the event ended (an additional month). So I told the winner she should have all art by July 15th and to pm me if not.

I am thinking of having the auction in May. Would that work for everyone? May 1st-30th it would run, with a snipe guard, and then the winner has until June 15th to send the mule the trade. Once it's completed he or she pms the artists what they want(for custom work). With October and December being prime time for events, I figure spring is the best time for an Auction free time wise. Please let me know regarding your schedules though.

Below is a little form for people who want to volunteer their work.

What kind of art?: Anything digital. Animation, graphic design, digital painting, lineart, game graphics, etc. (I have a degree that covered everything from animation and 3D modelling to web design and illustration so there's p much nothing I can't do).
If graphics, what?: Anything. Just give me the specifications and I can do it.
If regular art - Sketch/black and white/colored?: Anything. I really have no preference.
If regular art - custom or premade?: I'm assuming pre-made means like art made from bases? I just draw the poses myself so I guess custom???
If you want to do tiers, please list them: I don't really get Gaia's economy so like, *shrugs* I'll go with whatever.
Suggestions for an Auto Buy price?: *shrugs harder* I'm fairly certain if I was going to ask for a real world conversion of my hourly rate it'd be like seven hundred billion gold for a 4 hour piece or something so given that's probably not feasible I have no idea.
Anything else?: Just gimme a thing to do and I can do it.

Auto buys these days are usually in the trillions. My last hosted auction ended at 650billion HB.

Premades are art that people make to use over and over again without making custom every time. They usually don't do edits on premades. Like this one-


This is a past limited from a shop I work in. It's one of several dozen premades we offer.

Lmao damn that's nuts, but cool though. In that case I'd be asking for 175b p/h. If i'm doing sketches I'd probably only take about ten minutes so it scales decently, but yeah for anything fancy it'll be 700b and up.

Once we have an idea of how many artists there will be, I can figure out an appropriate auto buy for everything offered. But with what we have so far I would probably do a starting bid in the low billions and let it grow over the month. We don't want to start high and intimidate people. But to get a bidding war going.

It's narrowed to two months on when to have the auction. Please take a moment to pick January or May. That will be when people bid, it will be the weeks following when art will be due. So a January auction you would want to be sure February is free and a May one you'll be working in June.

As of late, especially auctions with multiple people, auto buys are at least 1tril. Would everyone be okay with that? I want everyone to be comfortable with any number we ask for. My personal opinion is nothing under 800bil; especially with you guys. You're all amazing artists and are worth the gold.

✌KEEP CALM.
♛AND SAY, "YES, MY LORD!".

Yep, I couldn't pin down a good time for me. Since I'll be looking to see if I got accepted at a college in Janurary, an if I can go back to work after a visit to the doctor.

You guys know how it is.
XD

But whoa, I would have never asked for a trillion gold.
I'll make sure to practice so I can take that gold with pride, and open up a shop with the same amount of pride.
