Hello there! Welcome to our advertisement thread for our URE Artist Auction 2.0! Our goal is to spread the word that the auction is coming up, and we want lots of people to be around when the auction starts. If you weren't around for the last auction, or maybe don't know what the URE (User-run event) is, then we have some explanations for you right below.
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ About The User-Run Event
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
The URE is a tribute we make to our fellow members, as well as a thank you to our staff. Multiple times a year our staff hosts wonderful events with interesting games and stories behind them. Well, we can't let them have all the fun can we? So a group of volunteers come together to create an event of our own! This year the votes came back that the majority of Menewsha wanted a Desert Winds Caravan themed event! The URE is for our staff to sit back, relax, even play some games, while we show them that we can make a smashing and awesome event as well! If you would like to see more links/thread dedicated to the URE, check out these links:
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ About The Art Auction
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
In March the volunteers were trying to come up with various ways to make money for the URE, and someone suggested that we auction off artists and the proceeds would be donated to the URE! After a week of epic bidding, 40,450G was raised in gold and prizes! Some of the artists and bidders were asking for another round for the auction, so steelmagghia and Libra came together again for the URE Art Auction 2.0! We are hoping to make even more gold this time around!
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ About The Art Advertisement Thread
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
Since the last Art Auction focused on a week long bidding war, and not so much advertisement, we wanted to do the opposite for this Art Auction! So we will try to rally up people who are interested in bidding for the artists of this auction, as well as welcoming any other artists who would like to join the cause! We have a variety of variety of things to keep you busy until the Art Auction thread commences: a raffle, games, and even page prizes! So please, come stay in chat. Invite your friends if you think anyone would be interested in becoming an artist to donate their services, or someone who is looking for some art!
┏━━━━━━━━┓ Questions?
┗━━━━━━━━┛
If you have any questions, we will certainly answer them as fast as we can! I will edit this section once we have some questions asked of us ^_^
Those who sign up for the ping list in the advertising thread will gain an entry to our raffle. We are raffling off a Wings of Iniquity. The raffle will be held the opening day of the art auction.

Often talked of, never seen,
Ever coming, never been,

Still approaching, coming near.
Thousands for it's visit wait
But alas for their fate,
Tho' they expect me to appear,
They will never find me here.

"I have the only key to the room containing the jewelry of my late aunt, Maggy," stated Sid Shady. "Since her death a week ago, neither I nor anybody else has entered this room. I was quite pleased to hear her will requested that all her jewelry was to be sold and the proceeds to go to charity," continued Shady. Shadow removed a huge plant whose broad leaves were turned towards the wall, partially covering the safe. While Shady was working the combination lock, Shadow crossed the room to sit on the ledge of the large bay window. Shady opened the safe, and removed the bag of jewels. "I'm sure these jewels will fetch a fortune for charity," said a smiling Sid Shady. "I'll bet these jewels are either fake or there's a few missing," replied Shadow. What aroused Shadow's suspicion?

Toes may get cut off, depending on the style/pose/ect. Colors: I prefer to do just lineart, as my coloring takes awhile and I'm still working on getting my lighting/shading just right. If time is not an issue, I can do color as well. Deal Breakers: genitalia. They will look like a Ken doll if I have to draw it. MAYBE with a little package.

If you only want less make sure to indicate that because I won't ask for permission later. Colors: Full colors, minimal or no background. Deal Breakers: I'm pretty bad at couples but since this event doesn't include couples then I can and I am willing to draw lots of things. Though I can't vouch for the result when I draw things than I'm less experienced with.
