WELCOME TO PHEO'S FABOO ART AUCTION!

Hello everyone and welcome to my very own art auction! 'Tis my first as well. =] So here is a little introduction.

I...am Pheo. This auction is for three full commissioned paintings, in color, full body, with background--the works. One person, two people--whatever you want. PLUS(PLUSPLUSPLUS) THREE vector illustrations. Of your choice. Full body, one person, two, three. A background.

Starting bid: 10k.
MINIMUM increment: 2k
Autobuy: None, at the moment (see FAQ.)

BID HISTORY:
Kanamo: 10K

Samples will be found below, as well as FAQs, information on the bidding rates and bumping prizes, as well as any miscellaneous information.

The start date for this auction is July 13th. So, in 10 minutes. Which is about how long it'll take me to set this post up.

THE AUCTION WILL END AT 11:59 PM PST ON AUGUST 15TH. THE ONLY CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THIS WILL CHANGE ARE IF SOMEONE BIDS WITHIN THE LAST 20 MINUTES OF THE AUCTION, IN WHICH CASE I WILL EXTEND IT ONE MORE DAY TO ALLOW THE 2ND HIGHEST BIDDER TO SEE AND RESPOND TO THE LAST MINUTE BID. That way the highest bidder won't go to bed thinking they've won to find out that someone's slipped in and outbid them in the last 20 minutes. =] I am ending it in a month, because I move into my dorm on the 24th, so I need some time to complete your stuff...before...I move...=]

RULES:

1. READ ALL RULES BEFORE BIDDING. (Duh.)

2. You are bidding on the above stated 1 full painting commission and 2 vectors. If you are the high bidder, I will discuss and arrange things with you after the auction ends. I will not do more or less than that.

3. I WILL NOT DO THE FOLLOWING PICTURES:
-Hentai of any kind.
-Sexually explicit or extremely violent pictures.
-Yaoi, Yuri, or any of that stuff.
-So, basically, no sex in the pictures. Kissing? Sure! Hugging, cuddling, hand-holding...absolutely.

4. ASK ALL QUESTIONS THROUGH A POST. Don't PM me unless you ask first on the thread. That way I won't have people asking me the same question over and over again, as I shall answer here! Yay.

5. Understand that, by bidding, if you win, you know the style you'll get. That's what you're bidding for. DO NOT expect me to draw something in a completely different style. If it's super anime you want, you're probably in the wrong place. What you see is what you get.

6. BE NICE. Silly, I know. But people can be rude. Always be courteous to me and everyone else on this thread, or I shall blacklist you from it. I don't expect to have problems, but just avoid saying things like "omgthat bidder sux i hatethem they r evilllli shoulda won wtffff???", as that is annoying and rude.

7. By bidding, you are acknowledging that you will follow through on it if you win. Once the auction ends, you may NOT retract your bid. During the auctions, I must insist that you only retract your bid if you ABSOLUTELY must. It is disruptive to other bidders and me if you retract, as it alters the high bid and the increment's sequence and all that.

8. That's all I can think of right now. Er. If I add more, I will...That is, if I can think of more. Which I may not. But uhm...rule 8...Don't read Rule 8. GOTCHA! Hahahaha. Just kidding. =]

FAQ:

1. Do you have an autobuy?

~At the moment, I do not. I'm sorry. I don't know how high this thing will go, and I'm just trying to be fair to let everyone have a chance. I'm not questing for anything in particular, either. If you ABSOLUTELYCANNOTLIVE without my art and MUST not wait, post what your autobuy offer is. I will then post that as my autobuy and the high bid, and if no one tops it in a week, that'll be that

2. Can I bid items?

~Absolutely! In order to keep things on the level for bids, post your item bid and what it is worth in the marketplace. To get the value, take the lowest buy price in the marketplace (in gold) and put it in parenthesis. Your bid will be considered as all gold in that value. I.e., I bid 10k and a supercool item worth 15k. Your bid will be counted as 25k. =]

3. What are your artistic fortés?

~Women, faces, skies, skin. Those are the things I am BEST at painting. Vectors don't matter--I do everything on those. But to tell you, those are my STRONG POINTS. It does not mean that I cannot paint good men without faces, skies, or skins. I can. And I will do my absolute best to make them the finest quality to match your standards.

4. What happens after I win?

~We PM. You tell me what you want. I'll give you a time estimate (I HATE splitting art beyond one sitting), so I usually only take between 1 and 3 days for the painting. 1 day for vectors, usually. I'll send you drafts of the painting to work out what you do and do not like. =]

5. Can I commission you like...without...an auction?

~Sorry, not at this time! Maybe sometime soon though.

6. Can I offer art as a bid?

~Sorry, but I can't do that right now, since it's such a subjective thing in terms of value, and it's too hard to fit it for the next bidder. sad

7. Can we trade art/collaborate?

~PM me and we'll talk. No guarantees though. But it is fun to do that.

8. How do you do it? All your stuff?

~Gosh. It's a big breath to explain it all, but I'll tell you what: PM me your specific question and I'll do my best to answer you. Always glad to help. For free.

9. Critique my art? Please?

~SURE. I love critiquing and helping artists. Because no one really helped me early on. So just tag on a link through PM and I'll get to it ASAP.

10. Can we swap banners or something?

~Be happy to. I'm waiting to finish my banner, but then let me know and I'll put up affiliates on the first post.

11. I have more questions.

~I think not. Just kidding. Post them and I will answer.

SAMPLES OF MY WORK:
Paintings (recent), entered in contests, etc., so DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING OR I WILL KILL YOU REALLY BADLY. YOU DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW.
From most recent to least recent--unfortunately, none of these have full scale backgrounds, as those are too big to post, and if I size them down, all details are lost. So sorry. But you get the idea! =D

MISCELLANEOUS STUFFS:

I WILL BE GIVING THE TOP BUMPER A SPECIAL PRIZE. WOOHOO. THE PRIZE IS ONE FULL VECTOR COMMISSION FOR FREE. NUMBER YOUR BUMPS MY DARLINGS, SO I CAN AWARD IT EASILY WHEN THE AUCTION ENDS. THANK YOU.

I'll post the top current bumpers when I have enough to say at the time. Any other misc. info, like donators, I'll list here too. =]
