[edit]You missed the auction! Thanks for Auto.
Hey, long time no see. I realised that my art threads are very few and extremely far in between. In order to remedy that, I will have this auction (hurrah) and an art shop (hurrah), which will open on 29. Feb. And since 29. Feb only occurs once every four years, I'm going to have to keep that thread for the next four bloody years, even though I really hate the pressure of having large threads - as you all know. You see, I have a thing about significant dates :|
A lot of things will change about my art threads, so please take a moment to read through the spoilers.
And also, I missed last year's Epidemic so I'm seriously behind on the achis. Please kiss me xD ? Do not ping me.
FAQ on profile updated; please read it.
And tell me if my profile works on your browser; just finished coding.
news
The compromise is this: in order to keep relatively active art-wise (I haven't pinged this group since last October. I use my group ping about 3 times per year, in comparison with some artists who ping 3 times a month or something), the pieces I offer will be smaller pieces / experimental pieces, and I will not be having as many event freebie threads as I have before.
So for the users who have taken part in my kissing / dancing / etc threads in the years before: thank you all for your continued support but, apart from Morostide, there probably won't be any more event freebies.
There will, however, be Arcade freebies when I choose to start up another Insert Coin thread C:
As for the Level Up shop, I will most likely reduce the number of levels available to 7.
Since I will now have more art threads, Priority users please note: your Priority status will expire if you do not use it before 1. Jan 2013 It used to be a case of Priority users waiting on me to actually start a thread, but now the lack of threads won't be a problem any more xD
This auction will be for a very small piece - one of these takes less time to do than even a proper // Etude //, would you believe it? I'm trying to be as time-efficient as possible ==
You are bidding on one Arabesque. *no quad alternative for this one, sorry. No idea how a quad waist-up would turn out LOL [URL=http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww189/102658/ZZZ/mythology.png][•][/URL] | [URL=http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww189/102658/ZZZ/jungle.png][•][/URL] | [URL=http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww189/102658/ZZZ/delirium-1.png][•][/URL] Auto: 63m End: 25. Feb @ 1900 GMT
No 7m incr freebies this time and no time for a 7 day auction, I'm afraid @@ Auto gets one free headshot. [URL=http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww189/102658/Headshot/pisces.png][•][/URL] | [URL=http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww189/102658/Headshot/14jigglypuff.png][•][/URL]

I remember we had something about you getting a Level 15 streak in the Level Up shop, but L 15 won't be available this year. The streak was fun while it lasted :C
TOMORROW BY THE LATEST, I SWEAR TODAY I'VE BEEN BUSYING KILLING MYSELF WITH COLOURED PENCILS
Sorry this isn't a quad auction 8(
questions
I've got some plans for my shop, aha - I will offer limited slots for highly stylised pieces with odd quirks.
Won't spoil it all now by giving you a linked example, but I will be taking 7 slots on Jukeboxes - you must provide me with your character's theme song as well as an image reference.
After those 7 slots are taken, I won't be doing Jukeboxes again in 2012. I'm going to make a cycle of 'Collectibles' 8)
I will introduce a new 'set' of Collectibles either when the Jukeboxes are sold out OR when March ends, whichever one comes later. I must admit that the Priority users get a huge advantage here. But they have indeed been waiting for a real art thread since summer 2011 so I think they deserve it LOL The 'Collectible' part of my shop is based on the exclusivity of Custom Wearables, but I'm pretty sure I'm the first on Sub to use it as part of an 'art shop' instead of a 'cw shop'. See if this starts a trend 8) I remember seeing a few 'Level Up' style shops every year after I hold my Level Up shop in the summer xDDD
The shop will have one sP slot and two USD slots, so expect me to be spamming the group ping when slots are open or something.
Any other suggestions for what you want to see in my shop? Please do tell C:
Also, would anyone be interested in something like // this // for a future auction when I have a lot of free time? They take forever to finish, but I do enjoy them, and in any case I need to practise with traditional media xD
PRIORITY Priority users may exchange their status for Discount (pay 77% of full price if you win auction).
I'm slightly confused xD; Is this to let people know you're having an auction and opening a shop on the 29th?
Is the auction starting now?
AHAHAHA Yes xD Maybe I shouldn't have included the auction section in spoilers.
brb moving it out of spoilers
AJfaandaiada;baa 5 mil to start off even if I don't have a concrete ref sheet for char in mind XD

you guys both just ignored rule number one :c seven hates pings so bad you can only ping him once a year rofl.
i'll start the auction off with 7 mill and I am exceptionally excited to see how the jukebox themes turn out on your shop thread. so glad you're back n_n on the site arting again /and more regularly hur hur.
ps. yep your profile works on my browser /is using chrome 8D though i have to say i miss your old one ;-; kitties.

That was the first time I have ever pinged him, so no I didn't..lol
tempted to AB :S Not sure what ref I would want though yet. so 15m
I'm not quit sure if i understood everything but this is in the auction subforum so i'm going to bid! xD 10mill! 17mill! XD
Oh goodness, the sadness XD I saw this ping and then I was all 'HAHA Level 15 is mine XD' and was all prepared grin But I shall have to try for 7 instead. I always love your shops and auctions, they're so interesting and fun <3
Also, I'm sure I'll get outbid quick, but I'll up the auction to 19mil
Sorry about the ping at all though. I saw it, and I thought it meant for the auction. But I am at only once a year..lol
I will AB if I can give to the ref in a few hours. :)
Thanks for kiss + bid C: My bad, I completely forgot to add starting bid xDDD Shows how out of touch with art threads I am.
They're going to be very quick pieces, just like an Arabesque; slightly sketchy, soft brushes. For more info... to be continued. On the 29. Feb.
Great 8) I checked using Chrome, Safari and FF, but someone else using Safari told me it wasn't working for them. Not sure how it can work for me but not them; I haven't changed the coding at all @@; I will add another manga-page profile when I have the time; I think that style of profile is so far unique to me. Might as well carry on making them |D
Don't worry about the ping ahaha Thanks for bidding C: meant that I only let people ping me during Morostide (once a year), just to clarify xD
Thanks for your support :> Incidentally, did you use to have a different UN? I think I recognise the img in your forumset, but I don't seem to recall your UN.
ty for bid :> This is my most lengthy auction thread by far; I give you my oath that no auction of mine will ever be so wordy xDDD
LOL Sorry xD In any case, Level Up only happens in the summer. Thank you 8)
Anytime <333 And I think I was teh_aiderz or Aiderz or something along those lines before xD
a kiss for you anytime, dear lulz && 7 minutes until I can kiss again. hehe.
btw I ISS'd from Sonata if you ever recall our previous encounters interactions Cx
I would say GL with this auction but I don't think you need too much luck with an AB, by the looks of it? btw, you see that the price of csc is 'friggen 3mil/100csc now? eeeep
//don't have the funds to keep bidding :< //

I did remember the once a year, I didn't know it was only morostide lol I understand hating pings though. I was sick offline a few days and came back to 360-something events @.@
haha i hate coming back to see my kiss event pings/dance pings and it's like oh hai 400 pings and then the thread ones are like lost down the bottom somewhere xD. i especially hate group pings.
congrats on the ab crysti
and oooh xD i'm just really intrigued by the concept and your take on the characters n_n personalities based on them.

no wait wat
did you already auto D8 ? I couldn't tell from your post
the first one I said I was debating I didn't. The next post i did if you don't mind if I wait a couple hours to give you a ref. :) I have to piece together my ref.
I've seen your art on profiles, it's all amazing. I'd so be looking forward to a shop ❤ Also, the question you asked on the quad art for another auction. I would love to see an auction for a similar piece. The coloring is amazing, I bet it took a while;;
Ah xD The thing about disappearing for a while is that when I come back, a lot of names change 8( Especially since people seem to be buying ISSs at the drop of a pin these days.
Ahaha, how very apt!
Yes! Of course 8) Good to see you again.
idk about the AB; I can't really tell. It could just mean that when she gets a ref ready in a few hours, she will AB after she gets those refs ready xD The CSC prices are crazy; that's kind of why I gave a Priority slot to , bc he paid in CSC for an Etude when I said 9m / 500 or something and the CSC prices just haven't dropped since then, and it was incredibly unfair for him to have paid that much xD
In response to one of your prev posts: yes indeed. Especially the token shop pings; they tend to RS a couple of times that day if there's a RS at all, and it happens often that several people ping for the same RS. To be expected, I suppose :<
And LOLOLOL Sorry about that! Thanks very much for the AB C: ! Sure; I don't mind waiting.
LOL Yes xD Er. do u haet mai group ping :<
I've always enjoyed it when people give me theme songs as wel as personality type / fav colours / etc of their char, so I thought I'd work on incorporating that 8)
Thank you :> ! Brilliant, your interest is noted.
Yes, it did. I started timing it but left the timer running overnight (forgot to pause, oops), then finished it earlier this afternoon. BUT IT WAS FUN SO THAT'S OK :'D
