Update 1/07/10 - Head Tilts for TEF is officially closed! I just sent the last payment for the November and December donations today! Thanks to everyone who supported this event!

If you were working on a piece for Head Tilts, I'll still accept it and will send an additional payment when you get it done.

The official amount I donated from this project was $54.50. That's about 39.18€

----------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone, I had a neat idea for funding towards TEF. I know many of you don't have money to spend, likewise donate, so my idea was that I would donate a small amount for each person who made me a quality artwork!

I know, this is going to come off as really greedy, but in the long run it'll be very beneficial, especially for the Forest.

Click here to see all the submissions made so far!

Basically here is how it will run down:

1. Submit an artwork from the list of subjects below.
2. I will add the artwork to a separate topic that showcases every submission. Each artwork will have a monetary value I will designate (starting at $1 and possibly increasing to $2-3) based on the rules and bonuses for them.
3. At the end of each month, I will add all of the values, and I will personally donate that amount to Project: Greenleaf.

So in short, you will not have to spend any money, but rather your donation will be to me in the form of artwork.

I have a few little rules about the submissions:

- I hate to say it, but please make sure it is quality artwork and not something doodled (stick figures, something done in 5 minutes, ect.) Below are some examples of what I consider to be quality artwork:

X X X X
X X X X
X X X X

- I reserve the right to reject any submissions that don't follow the rules or are inappropriate.
- Make sure the artwork fits the subjects I'm looking for.
- You can submit multiple artworks.
- There can be more than one submission for a single subject! As in feel free to draw something that's already been done!
- They can be any style (traditional drawing, digital artwork, vector, iScribble) and can be black and white or colored. Please, no little pixel artworks
- The base value for an artwork is $1, and depending on the quality, I may increase the value.
- Bonuses (see below) can be added to give your artwork a little more value.
- Additional subjects may be added if I come up with anything new
- This is not a competition, but rather a funding idea.
- Last day of submissions will be December 31st, so this project will go for four months: September, October, November, and December.

Here are the subjects I would like done. Links to biographies and references you may need have been provided:

#1: Quad standing next to/hanging out with the real me (Photos of me: X X X X)

#2: Quad doing my geologist pose (wearing the clothes I have on and holding the rock pick).

#3: Quad and Zephyr nuzzling or hanging out (Quad is Zephyr's father).

#4: An action shot or a pose of Iugulare, my evil stoat character from the Divine stories.

#5: An action shot of Quad in Grand Talux form (He has two sets of wings - X X) fighting Iugulare.

#6: Your interpretation of Quad or Zephyr as a human. Make them however you'd like, but if you need a reference, I made them in The Sims 2.

#7: Pent hugging or talking to a tree.

#8: Any scene from any of my Divine Stories, excluding Divine Retribution

#9: Quad hanging out with a Black Buck Antelope

#10: Quad or Zephyr saying a phrase in Italian (use an online translator for that )

#11: Iugulare infecting one of your deer.

#12: (For wolf fans) Zephyr walking with Amaterasu from Okami

#13: Quad wearing tribal or native american trinkets in his antlers (can be the gazelle antlers or zombie antlers)

#14: Quad or Zephyr hiking a trail with the real me (Photos of me: X X X X) Inspired by the description of the Deer Totem

#15: Quad, Zephyr, or Iugulare as a cyborg (having cybernetic limbs and/or parts). Google cyborg dragons or animals for inspiration.

#16: Your interpretation Quad, Zephyr, or Iugulare as another animal. (Draw one of them as a different animal other than what they are) **

** Yes, you are allowed to do wolves

#17: Trunks walking with a fawn. (Bonus $0.50 if you include the text "In the eyes of every newborn, I see the future...", from the song The Last Amazing Grays by Sonata Arctica)

----------------------------------

Bonus:

Adding either a sentence from the lyrics of any song from QuadRaptor Radio (google the lyrics of a song you want to use if you choose to do this), or adding the following quote to the picture will add an additional $0.50 to it's value.

"Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story." - John Barth

Please be mindful if you choose to add text to the artwork - make sure it fits the submission and is not just something completely random thrown in.

For example, using the quote "Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world" would not fit a picture of Quad.

Here is an example of what I mean about adding a quote to an artwork

(Hint about choosing a song - each character has a few 'themesongs' in their biographies)

Also if you don't know what would be good lyrics, ask me! I'll give you a few suggestions on songs.

----------------------------------

I hope this goes as well as I think it should. I think it will be both a fun little event as well as a fundraiser for Project Greenleaf and The Endless Forest! If you have any questions please ask!
