~ART TIME~ Group picture -> ALL SLOTS TAKEN <-

November 16, 2016 - 6:44am — singingbird

__________________________________________________________________________________
In the spirit of the season, if you couldn't afford to blow money on the indiegogo, but are active in the community, I am flexible on freebie-ing a few people in. This site wouldn't be ANYTHING without the time people give to building a thriving and welcoming community, and no amount of money can buy that <3

Just comment below to ask me. As long as the character can physically fit in the space available, I can probably work it in.
___________________________________________________________________________________

Alright, as an added incentive I'll be marking the following slots down to 10 euros since they don't feature a full body- 2, 6, 11, and 12!

Samples of my art can be found here.

Hey forest! For raising money for the IndieGoGo campaign, I wanted to create some your character here slots for a winter/ vaguely christmas themed drawing of deer from the community :3 It will be a large group portrait, fully lined and colored, featuring the twin gods in a sleigh with flying deer pulling it, and deer looking on from the ground below in wonder.

The cost for each slot is listed below. Rather than paying me, you can claim a spot by making a donation to the forest's IndieGoGo campaign as "Sleigh- ______", where the blank is your forest username. If you have already donated and would like to retroactively sign up for this, that's fine too- as long as your signature on the campaign includes your username or character name ^^

Since this is a donation-based work rather than something where I'm asking for money for myself, the minimum cost for a slot is 16 euros. This is also for any retroactive sign-ups. However, if you would like, you may donate more (I would recommend 20 so that you get that perk slot

)

Below are the slots, with any restrictions that they may have. Note: depending on the size of the antlers of some deer, I would ask that people be courteous to put larger-antlered deer towards the back so as to not block out others. :3 Comment below to claim when you are ready to pay for your slot. Once I see your name on the donation list with the 'Sleigh' tag next to it, I will mark you as paid!

1. Castallion for Freyja Donated!
2. Cannibriel for Vessan Freebie, but probs will donate!
3. Ludwig for Postmortem Donated!
4. Artemis for Wildflowerdeer Donated!
5. Sol for Ebony3 Donated!
6. Fowl for FoulFowl Donated!
7. Alice for Evern Donated!
8. Amary for Amary Donated!
9. Kaoori for Kaoori Donated!
10. Quamar for Tuhka Freebie <3
11. Nihdogg for Nihdogg Freebie!
12. Vanhi for TreeDancer Donated!
13. Vala for Vala Freebie!
14. Felbane for Wildrose Donated!
15. Lem for Uitleger Donated!
*16. Valjek for W0lfclaw Donated!

* Since Vala and W0lfclaw both signed up at the same time, I'm adding one more slot, which will be a flying mini-deer.

PROGRESS

Rough Sketch 100% (above)

Refined Sketch 100%

Character Coloring 100% *except for a couple of tiny details - Artemis's dainty antlers, Vala's face paint

Will do those before I start the background.

Lining 100%

Background 100%
Finishing Touches 100%

aaaand I did it wrong bc there were actually two places I could have put my name and I guess I chose the wrong one to put my real name in, since that's what is showing on the site now

It's okay if I don't get a slot, though, I just wanted to give something since I had some extra money.

November 18, 2016 - 10:06pm — singingbird

@Kaoori- gotcha! @Freyja-

@Kaoori- gotcha!

@Freyja- Castallion is in :3 I'll only move him if I have to for his antlers XD

@Wildrose- Since it's this far in the campaign, I'm happy to be flexible on that rule, especially because 14 is more of a background one anyways

I get that not everybody has loads of money to throw at this haha. <3 Would you prefer Fel's in-forest look like in your sig or her non-forest look? :3 tbh I would like to try her in-forest if that would be cool with you ^^

@Evern- awesome!
