March 19, 2011 - 10:04pm — shaku
Update 4/1: I want to thank everyone SO MUCH for all of your monetary and moral support! My half of this drive is officially over. Please watch eyestrain's post for her updates, since I do NOT speak for her!

-----

After I'm finished doing these, I'll delete this to minimize board spam. I hope it's okay in the meantime ♥

I'm offering commissions where all the proceeds will go to the Red Cross to help Japan.

Details are here, but basically...

Sketches - $7
Colored sketches - $15
Lineless Flats - $20
Shaded (character only) - $25
Painting (background included) - $50

Paypal is silent3pitaph [at] aol [dot] com

You can order here, through my email (derpydeer [at] hotmail [dot] com), or on my dA through a note.

If you want to donate, but don't care if you get art for it, head over to the Red Cross website ♥

Of course! Do you want me to add your info in this thread? Or if you wanna make a new thread, I can link to it. I also didn't reply to your comment, so if you wanna edit that instead to contain info, you can~

Whichever you think is best :3

Edit: Although, I think people seeing your name by the thread might attract more people ;D

Also, would you be interested in joining efforts to collaborate, were it requested? Because the money is going to charity it wouldn't need to be split.

Declan; Yesss, contribute to our gorgeous donation pool~


I just realized that the minimum donation for the Red Cross was $10. If anyone wants to donate but can't afford that much, you're welcome to add it to our donation pool and we can donate everything at once.

Would I need a PayPal account to pay? Or can one just use the "send money" option, or something? *confuzzled*

You need to link a bank

You need to link a bank account or credit card to Paypal, and to do that you need an account. It's pretty quick and easy. It can take a couple of days for the bank to verify your account, though.

I also don't mind if you guys wanna send it to Red Cross yourselves and forward me the receipt~ I can't imagine anyone lying on a charity donation XD;; This is just me, though. Ask eyestrain about her policy on this.

Anjali; It helps if the other person has a paypal. There's an option to send it without it deducting a fee, which it does otherwise :3

Anjali, you could also ask us to collaborate on an image if you're having a hard time deciding.

I'm fine with people showing the receipt for their donation. Shaku forwarded hers to me through email and that is a fine way to do it in my opinion.

Yes, as long as the commissioners don't mind. I'll send the big ones through email but the little pngs will be easy to post.

SnowSauria, if you would, please send the receipt of your donation.
Also, does Illrose's face show through her skull mask? I could see her eye in the reference but didn't know if it would be alright to show a tiny peek of human face.
