She is an art hunter, really. xDD

She has lovely dragon/demon-like characters, though. So they were actually rather fun to draw. ^_^
I'm not so sure about you, but I LIKE drawing those sort of characters. XD

wasashu 12-30-2007 06:18 AM

haha well actually jus recently ive been getting into horned characters or horns in general... plus i've taken a liking to crows *_* (such a random thing to mention xD)

Iro 12-30-2007 06:22 AM

Horns are always fun. X3
(It doesn't help that I'm downloading fantasy yaoi manga. *coughcough*)

Crows... That greatly reminds me of my inability to draw wings that do NOT look like blooming petals. xDD

wasashu 12-30-2007 06:32 AM

haha aw! poor mein TwT wings are a difficulty to draw, i tried learning from frog-vamp on DA (i was in a class with her before) the way she draws wings remind me of clamps.

hehe fantasy yaoi~ have you ever heard of 'crimson blade?' by ayano sumthing ^^; sorry for being vague T.T

Iro 12-30-2007 06:35 AM

Actually, simple wings are not. It's when one attempts those REALLY feathered wings. I've always admired those who are able to draw wings feather by feather. *3*

Oh, you were in the same class as frog-vamp? That sounds great! o3o

And that might be Crimson Spell by Ayano Yamane. I should know, that is one of the mangas I'm downloading right now. xD

I read that quite some time ago but stopped somewhere in chap 5, so I'm downloading the rest of it right now. *grin*

wasashu 12-30-2007 06:42 AM

omg! i knew it! >w< hehe so that's what it was crimson spell. omg, the way she draws demon vald ish so hawt xD too bad he's an uke~ hehehehe~ there's a very naughty bonus chapter at the end.
my friend bought the translated published one, too bad the translation kinda blows, instead of translating the japanese katana "ba-ludo" into english, "vald" they made his name, Bald.... T__T
either way wasashu's a sucker for tan men~

Iro 12-30-2007 06:50 AM

lol XD

I LOVE Ayano Yamane's style. Interestingly enough, the first works I actually saw from her were her FFVIII doujins. XDD
(She draws such hot Squalls.)

Most of her works are one-shots, though. I think I have almost the entire collection available online. *swt*

-shot for the 3rd time today-

Ooh, that sounds bad. >_<
I usually try to avoid reading published translations unless I have the chance to peek inside to see how it is first. But Bald... TwT;

Hehe. xD

Oh, yesh. Which art would washu-san like for the auction header? ^_^
(I can't make up my mind. Any would work, even the Akito one.)

wasashu 12-30-2007 06:56 AM

hehe omg! i vaguely remember the FF8 ones!! it was squall dancing with seifer was it? correct me if im wrong, but it was a friend long time ago when i was in 10th grade i think, or maybe 9th that she wanted to show me that doijinishi but i didnt get to read it thouroughly because her mom was walking around T.T

and hmmm~ auction header pic... *scurries off to check which pic she would think would be appropriate*
is it ok if i get back to you next post with the answer? TwT sorry for taking your time mein-san *shrinks*

Iro 12-30-2007 06:59 AM

There are two FFVIII doujins by her available for online download.

One is the one you've mentioned, though there were other Squall/Seifer one-shots inside. It's full of comedy, it was an amusing read and nothing really serious. XD

There was another FFVIII one-shot she drew, but the pairing in focus was Squall/Zell. X3

(I can send you both files if you want, since the only available download method for them is through mIRC, at the moment. 83)

And that is no problem! Take your time. ~_^

wasashu 12-30-2007 07:12 AM

haha as much as i would like to see them, i would have to decline your sweet offer TwT i'm using the family's comp *ish back on guam for the winter break* and the memory on this thing is so low =_=

oh! and for the header i think i like the one with the orange cat ears and headphones, that was Vauron-san's avi think *if i remember his name correctly* i hope that one is ok, unless you think otherwise ^^

Iro 12-30-2007 07:16 AM

Ah, well, anytime you want them, just ask. In fact, if you have gmail, it makes things a lot easier. I can just send the files to your account and you can download them anytime. xD

That sounds fine, actually. ^_^
The orange haired one, no?

And one more question, what would you like to call your auction? =D

If you have no idea, well, there's always the basic "Wasashu's 2-Week Solo Auction!" or something. xDD

And I will leave the 'will draw' and 'will not draw' sections for you to fill on your own. ~_^

wasashu 12-30-2007 07:26 AM

hehe i do have gmail, it's easy too xD [email protected] *dies at its simplicity*

and yesh the one with the emo glasses and the orange hair ^^ and thank you so much helping me out with the whole auction thing mein-san TwT i lurve you *_* and hmmm, name of the auction... let's call it.........

EDIT: ..."Wasashu's Art Auction"

simple and easier since it's a first time for me ^^;;;; thank you so much mein-san!!! *glomps you* >w<

Iro 12-30-2007 07:39 AM

You're welcome!

I'll send them to your mail then. Don't worry, mine is kidezt at gmail dot com. xD

In fact, I have a Xaevan gmail account too, but eh... :wink:

Okay! Then it's all settled, I will do all the codings and linkings so all you need to do is copy paste them into separate posts and add in certain other stuff like the will do and won't do lists. ^_^

wasashu 12-30-2007 07:42 AM

*wai! wai!!* >w< *does a lil dance*

thank you again mein-san >w< i *heart* you~ hehe i can't wait to do my will not and will do lists, i like them simple :] hehehehe~

Iro 12-30-2007 07:48 AM

You're welcome! X3

EDIT:
I will be sending you the auction posts in Gaia, washu-san. But just in case, these are the changes I made after I consulted a few friends on Gaia. I hope you don't mind the changes. You may always change them if you do not find them satisfactory. ^_^;

I apologize for all the questions and bugging, but I am anxious myself. xD;

1. Changed AB to 1 million (just found out that the average AB is 2 million or more).
2. Did a bid scale for certain amount of bids.
3. Removed chibi art examples, I can always insert them back in if washu-san offers chibi too (all auction headers, banners and preview thumbs in mw_k under 'WashuAuction' folder).

That should be all. I'm VERY sure washu-san knows how to quote the 'highest bids' post. It's up to you whether you want to link the list of contents. It's troublesome, though I would, but that's cause I'm me. XD

EDIT2:
Done and sent, washu-san!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! ^_^

wasashu 12-30-2007 03:53 PM

thanks so much mein-san! well i have three questions:

1. how do I link the posts to the table of contents? do i scroll to the post and copy the url and link it like that? *confused*
but if it's a total hassle to explain how, then you don't have to tell me ^^ you've work so hard already mein TwT

2. as for the Bidding Guide would i have to draw all that stuffs for when the auction ends?
or is it more like, if the auction ends and for the range the highest bid stops at, then that's what they get? (kind of thing?)

3. and overall when the auction ends, is there gonna be only one winner? like, would i end up only doing 1 piece of artwork?

that's about it ^^ I'm kinda confused in those parts, but i don't wanna mess up on meh first auction ^^; (such a newb i am xD)

Iro 12-31-2007 04:55 AM

Okay, here are the answers to your questions. =D

1. Basically, whenever you post a post, instead of just the usual page count on the html bar (with the 'sequence='), you would get a code at the end of the code with '#' and your post number. Let's say your post is post number 27, it would be something like ".../-insert thread title-/t.-insert thread number-/#-insert post number-"

If you have posted and have no idea how to get back, simple! Just edit post and submit! xDD

2. No. You ONLY draw what you offer. Say, the Highest bid was 450k and no one ABed, then all you have to draw is a Waist up coloured, as indicated by the bidding guide. =)

3. If you want it that way, yes. If not, you can always change the bidding guide and the AB prize to suit your needs. As I said, if you find that the ABer deserve two full bodies instead, or a full body and a waist up, just change it. And if you think the price I set for the artworks are too steep (XDD) you can always change the scale to your liking. Like this example I have;

0 - 100K = Chibi lineart
101K - 200K = Chibi Coloured
201K - 350K = Waist up Lineart
351k - 500k = Waist up Coloured
501k - 650k = Waist up Coloured + Chibi Lineart
651k - 800k = Full body Lineart
801k - 1 mil = Full body coloured
1 mil+ = Full body coloured + Chibi coloured
(this is past the AB, but that was the point)

There are a few auctions I found that offer AB, but ABing the art doesn't mean that the auction end. It's just like buying artwork. So ABing means that they would be guranteed art, but not winning the bid. Therefore the auction does not end yet.
If you use this method, then when you have enough ABers, just remove the AB and put Autobuy as 'Not Available'.

If you want multiple winners, just open an extra thread for 'EXTRA'. Meaning, contests such as art contests, bumping contests and such and offer a prize for the winner. You can also offer freebies (therefore, this is where the extra reserved posts come in; you can open a 'Freebies' thread if you want) for regulars or nice people that drop by your thread. =D
It helps pull in people this way.

Are these understandable? ^__^;
If you need me to reexplain, it's no problem.

wasashu 12-31-2007 05:14 AM

aaaaaahhh!!! i see now, that you so much mein-san!
so if there was an AB and when the auctions ends there'll be 2 arts i would draw?
*just to make sure*

i think i like the bidding guide you first sent me more, its more simple. even though i dunt think meh art is that expensive ;__; we'll jus see what happens though, i wouldnt be surprised if the bidding dunt go that far xD but who knows ^^

and thank you for your help mein-san TwT <3<3<3

Iro 12-31-2007 05:19 AM

You're welcome! =)

No, actually. AB is Autobuy for a reason. XD
If someone is able to afford the Autobuy price, then he or she would immediately win the auction and rightfully, you should close the auction.

If you feel that you can take two winners then put a notice below the AB that 'Autobuy does not mean you won the auction! It just means that you are guranteed some art.'

It's a somewhat equivalent 'to Autobuy will not end the auction', if you get what I mean. =).

Seriously, if someone would purchase my full body coloured for 200k (and that was when I was the one giving the offer too), yours should be no problem. ^_^

wasashu 12-31-2007 05:30 AM

oooh ok i get you. so with this one i'll jus leave it, i like the way it's setup <3

EDIT: HOLY CRAP! xDD omg mein, when i logged onto mw-k the lil orphan thing scared me at first xD i was like WTF?! :shock:

Iro 12-31-2007 05:42 AM

Okay. Glad you like it! ^___^

lol Sorry about that. I was doing the event for mw-k cause I wanted to give her a set of Christmas items too. XDD

Just two more orphans and two more sets of carols to get all the event items. ~_^

wasashu 12-31-2007 05:47 AM

oooh~ cool!

well, im gonna set up the auction now and see how it looks. it wont start till like tommorrow my time, but maybe it'll start in like 2 days for those stateside?

i wonder how that'll work.

Iro 12-31-2007 05:51 AM

It's not yet the first here too, actually. xD
If you want to time it internationally, then you should open the auction up to the public in about 7-8 hours from now.

You can post first, but make sure to set 'Under construction' or 'still closed' when setting up or until New Years.

Then you can place the thread title as 'NOW OPEN!'. ^__^

The time I gave you was GMT +12:00. It's best you use your timezone, though. What time is it there again? xD

wasashu 12-31-2007 06:02 AM

it's about 4:02 pm here ^^

Iro 12-31-2007 06:05 AM

Oh. O.O

.....

OH.

lol XD

Well, it's 2.04pm here now.

So your timezone would be GMT +6.

Therefore, you can set the date and time to GMT +6. And on midnight, you can open up the auction to public already. xDD



All times are GMT. The time now is 04:06 AM.
