In order to help fund my pet quest for the SoA God of Lust/Pleasure, and to celebrate my newest hobby, I've decided to run as art auction of the unique sorts. The first one of these was run a few months back and this time I have far more samples! You won't be getting avatar art in the traditional sense, but instead your avatar/OC/characters/or pet (with shopowner permission!) will be made into a My Little Pony. Once the pony is complete you'll recieve multiple pictures of it, from multiple angles. 5 atleast of the finished product (and however many occur at each update and check in stage), though more if you request it, and you also have the possibility of recieving the actual pony itself! Talk about a piece of art that's tangible and unique!

Rules of the auction

~ Be nice children. I won't tolerate bullying or any other unneccesary meanness. I can't think of any reason for anyone to be attacking or being mean to anyone else in my thread, so there shant be any of it. :3

~ This auction will run from June 17th to July 7th, 11pm gaian time.

~ Bidding can be in pure, store items at 75% of they're worth, or items valued withThe Guide

~ Autobuying gets you TWO ponies. One adult and one baby (though of course the baby doesn't have to represent an actual baby, can be a pet or whatever)

~ No sniping. xp Auction will be extended for 10 minutes after every bid near the very end.

~ No pm bidding and NO bid retractions.

~ These things take awhile, so please expect atleast a month or two (ecspecially if I have to order hair) before it is completed. You will get plenty of updates and pictures along the way. :3

~ Feel free to ask questions here or via pm. heart

Auction stoooff:
Starts: Now! June 17th
Ends: Friday July 7th, 11pm gaian time (1 am central on July 8th)
Starting bid: 10k
Autobuy: An oct 03 letter, or it's equivilance (4.2 mill)
Highbid: 170k

What exactly you are getting: Pictures of the pony in progress and a full photoshoot (5 or more pictures) of the finished pony with a pretty background. If you want the actual pony shipped to you, I'd be happy to do it for the shipping costs. Shipping costs average $5 within the states. If you're in a different country and would like a quote before you bid, just let me know.

For the beginning bid you are just getting the pony, but if things get high enough I'll add extras into it. Extra outfits perhaps if you go the cloth clothing route. A matching or similar baby pony, etc. More details when/if we reach higher numbers.

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

Frequently asked questions

Q- Do you design the pony? Or do I get to decide the pony?
A- Either or works. :3 You can be as detailed and exact or as vague as you'd like. I'll work with you every step of the way, starting with a sketch to figure out the overall degisn.

Q- So you're making the pony irl, and drawing art for it?
A- After getting the info from the person I'll draw up a sketch (it's easier for me to work from). After that I'll be making it into a irl pony, with lots of photoshoots along the way. So yep, both really. :3

The low down- body type and examples

So far I've customized about a dozen ponies. There are lots of things you can choose to customize with a pony, and they're all up to you if you win. :3 Here are the mechanics of ponies, just so you know where everything goes. XD

Generation 3 example (aka the new ponies)

Generation 1 example (ponies from the 80's)

TAF design example (for symbols)

~ Eye color- Simple enough no? You can choose the eye color, if you'd like the eyes closed, or a partial close to show off pretty eyeshadow, etc.

~ Cutie mark (aka, butt symbol)- Have a certain symbol that really relates to your character? Or perhaps you just want a portrait of their face? This is the place to do it. Symbols can stick simply to the bottom, or like the "Twice as Fancy" ponies of the past, work their way up the pony's entire side.

~ Body type- Is your pony winged? Maybe a mermaid? Perhaps they have lovely spikes coming out of their back? Cat tail and ears? You name it, and I can try to add it on. I'm working mostly with the plastic but I've got sculpy, wire, feathers, and plastic at my disposal. :3

~ Hair- Such an essential part of any pony. My colors are a little limited, but I can do the best I can, and will give you choices of the colors I have available to find the best possible match. I personally like long hair, but I'm willing to give a go at any Gaian hairstyle or whatever.

~ Clothing and accessories- If you choose to have clothes you have the choice of molded sculpy clothing or cloth made clothing that can be taken off. Sculpy looks better for wild physics bending folds and flutterings. But cloth clothing give you the option of having stuff (like the cutie mark) painted under it.

Examples of my customs
More to be added as they are completed. Complete info on these customs available on my deviant page.
Gir pony (invader zim)
Lady luck (poker/luck pony)
Strawberry Pocky
Baby Chocobo

A few avatar/OC's turned to ponies. Winner is free to design their own pony, this is just my idea of what my avvy and main OC might look like if I were doing the custom of them.

Freebies?
I'll probably do some freebies for certain page numbers and good bumpers. Probably pony sketches of your avvy, or maybe just plain old avvy sketches. :3 But first I've got some art to catch up on.
