Hi there, and welcome to my auction. This is my first, so yes, Im new at this - please keep that in mind. Im also a relatively unknown artist within Gaia, although I have an arena gallery here. I've thought about doing an auction for some time, and now is that time! My slate is clear for the next month. My work falls somewhere in the middle of modern comics and fantasy, although its definitely not limited to it.

Bidding
- Bid responsibly! All bids are final, even if you don't see your name listed yet in the high bidder section that does not mean you are free to retract your bid. Remember this is my time you are bidding on, please dont bid if you are not ready to be serious about it. Thanks!
- Item bids are priced at current mid GEN prices.
- Bids go in this thread only, please do not PM me on a bid, it will not officially count.
- To prevent sniping bids or confused auction endings, the last bid will have to stand for 2 hours without any counter bids even after the auction is officially ended. Counter bids can only be placed by those who were contending for final bid. That means that on the start of the last auction day your bid was high bid, or you bid on the last day of the auction. Any questions, please feel free to ask. While I will make special allowances for extreme circumstances, there will not be more than one winner. This is my first and last auction for one cg character art.
- AUTOBUY - mini angelwings, I am doing this auction mostly for exposure to the community, so I've set a ridiculous autobuy simply for tradition's sake.
- This auction begins now, January 7th, it will end two weeks from now, Friday the 21st at 8pm pst.
Posting
- Bumping of any kind is encouraged. There will be prizes for the top three bumpers in this thread. See prizes section below for details.
- No complaining or arguing in the thread please, and most importantly be considerate to others. I have quite the temper if I catch anyone being mean to the so called "newbs".
Art
- You are bidding on one fantasy character art commission by Kimaya.
- The commission is for a full body, high res, non-action scene, with background. (300dpi, 8.5x11 - printsize)
- Although my art is fantasy in nature, I will do any character ranging from known comics, anime fanart, gaia avatars, etc in my art style. If you provide me with your own character, I will need background information and references.
- Yes, I do pictures with men in them, however, just like other fantasy artists I tend to focus on females.
- Ultimately I decide on the pose and the scene, although I would love to hear what you want, a few ideas to kick around makes my job easier. The more I know about your character the better chance I will choose something that works.
- Non sexual nudity is allowed. What's that mean? It means, I do nudity but we get to talk about the posturing.
Updates
- high bidder will be updated nightly, as necessary.
- Top bumper contestants will be updated mid contest once, and once on the day before the contest ends.
- Winners for the bumper contest and the raffle will be announced the day following the auction end.
- I added an autobuy: angel miniwings, I feel pretty safe in doing so... early in the auction and the hb is barely a fraction of the cost. smile
- Gave out some freebies to the original bumpers! So now, there is a small example of my freehand art, below in the examples section.
- Added a no sniping rule, check bid section!

Bumpers
- Top bumper will recieve a kiriban-oekaki style 640x640 from Kimaya of their avatar.
- Bumpers who place 2nd and 3rd will recieve cg'd avatar art from Riot, my husband. There is a link to his art below in the links section.
Raffle
- All posts are eligible for this prize. The raffle winner will get a collab piece from me and Riot - his lineart, my CG of their avatar. The raffle will be chosen at random by page number, and then randomly among the others on that page.
