THIS THREAD IS OFFICIALLY NOW CLOSED
CLICK HERE TO LINK TO MY NEW QUEST THREAD

As the picture suggest above, I am questing for both the golden laurels and the winged anklets.
***Please remember gold and/or any items you may be willing to part with will be accepted whole-heartedly!***
*****No donation is too small or ridiculous!!!*****
*******Facefaults at ever-rising inflation prices*******
*********Facefaults at ever-decreasing market prices*********

You may ask...why is your quest so special? Well, it's simple. I've decided that I am going to tackle two big quests in one. And I will do anything and everything, short of violating Gaia’s terms of service agreement. xp Therefore, I’ve decided to get a bunch of things going on this thread. These consist of:

*A charitable auction
*Renting myself out for bumping/posting
*Artwork by commission
*Bumping contest
*Dice game
*Anything else you can suggest

A little background on myself:
You may notice I’ve been on Gaia quite a while according to my profile, but this is not the case! I actually registered on Gaia for a friend, thought it was lame and left. Two years later talking to the same friend, I decided to start Gaia again and retrieved my old account. stressed If only then, I had known what I know now about donation items! So in reality, I’ve only really been active on Gaia since the end of June 2006. >.< Doh.

Heaven forbid, if I actually surpass my gold goals by the end of this quest, officially ending on April 15 2007. I will split evenly and donate all gold to those who have gotten on my white list. Whoever gets on my white list is of my own personal preference and choosing. However, if you get on my blacklist, you will get nothing! Even if you win the bumping contest or dice game! You can stay off my blacklist by following my rules:
*DO NOT beg me on this thread or through PMs.
*Harrassing others will NOT be tolerated. Maturity is important to me.
*Other rules will be added here if other problems arise. Use some common sense, be nice, and have fun!

Officially selling artwork by commissions! rofl

This actually makes me happy. Though I wonder if people will like my artwork and want some pieces drawn. sweatdrop

First, here's some links to examples of my artwork:
Computer Graphics I did this as an entry for an artwork contest on Gaia.
Pencil This is a picture of my online alias, Kara Metallium.
Colored Pencil An exchange between my two characters, Kara Metallium and Kane Metallium.
Feel free to check out my deviantart site for further investigation of my skills.

Now, onto business. I think my artwork is pretty good, considering most people I see online with their oh-so-scary fanart. You know what I mean, it looks like a 3 year old child drew it. >.<

These are the compositions for sale:
Full body of current avatar
Head and shoulders pose of current avatar
Full body chibi-fied version of current avatar
Full body of dream avatar
Head and shoulders pose of dream avatar
Full body chibi-fied version of dream avatar
You can also add a background to any of these
Or you can have a cartoon strip (Specify what you want the cartoon to be about.)

These are the mediums from which you can choose:
Computer Graphics (I draw it by hand, scan it in, and color it with Photoshop)
Pencil (Draw and shading with pencil.)
Colored Pencil (Done in Prismacolor colored pencils, in my opinion, the highest quality colored pencils out there. Although they probably are.)

Also, if you are willing to donate big for it. (For example, like 10,000 gold. And items of equivalate value are also accepted.) I will send the original drawing to an address of your choice, in the real world of course. 3nodding Think of it like this also, Christmas and Birthday gifts of original art of someone's avatar is a splendid thing to get in the mail. It's beautiful and people appreciate personalized gifts. And I don't mind spending the cash to send it.

Pricing: (Depends on the medium, somewhat on format. Also, feel free to haggle on the price.)
Pencil -- 1,000 gold
Colored Pencil -- 2,000 gold
Computer Graphics -- 5,000 gold (This medium is somewhat of a hassle for me)
Cartoon strips -- 1,000 gold on addition to the medium price
As for sending it to an address. Say you want a computer graphics piece, and you've paid the 5,000 in gold (or items) for it. But you also would like a copy sent to your address, just tack on another, say 5,000 in gold (or items) and it will be sent as soon as its finished.

People who commissioned:
Starla_13 (Computer Graphics, Chibi Current)

I will be holding the usual obligatory bumping contest. stare

Bumping is a wonderful way for this quest thread to reach the top of the forum list. Therefore, I am extremely willing to promote it. The rules are simple. Don’t end up on my blacklist. Bump away. Conversations are encouraged. Advertising is fine. If you are participating, please NUMBER YOUR BUMPS!! I will be reading through the pages of the quest, and numbers help very much. Also, when you are numbering your bumps be sure to show the number of overall consecutive bumps. So if you had 30 bumps in, say, the month of January and the contest ended, you would still start from that number at 31 the next month. I can do math, so you don't have to worry about me counting the bumps. The bumping history below is all I need to calculate how many bumps you do per month. Now, onto the prizes…

The top bumper gets their choice of a donation letter from my inventory, anywhere from August 2006 to April 2007. They will also get a drawing of their current avatar and a drawing of their dream avatar. In either prismacolor colored pencil, pencil, or computer graphics.

Second top bumper will get their choice of a donation letter from my inventory, anywhere from November 2006 to April 2007, after the top bumper has chosen their own letter. They will also get a drawing of their dream avatar in either prismacolor pencil, pencil, or computer graphics.

Third top bumper will get their choice of a donation letter from my inventory, anywhere from February 2007 to April 2007. They will also get a drawing of their dream avatar in either prismacolor pencil, computer graphics, or pencil.

Also, if the bumper before you picked something from a month, you can NOT get the same month. For example, if the top bumper picked the letter from April 2007, the second and the third bumpers no longer have that option of picking the letter from that month.

Letters:
August 2006 --- Angelic Microphone OR Gwee the Dragon
September 2006 --- ORLY? Hat OR Mythrill Armor
October 2006 --- Pixie OR Shadow Spirit
November 2006 --- MoMo the Monkey OR Mini UFO
December 2006 --- Flame Sword OR Elemental Hair OR Winter Rose
January 2007 --- Damascus Armor OR Gift of the Goddess
February 2007 --- Celebrity Date OR Celestial Wrap OR Dark Star
March 2007 --- Mythic Hair OR Spirit Falcon
April 2007 --- Oculus Magica OR Lunar Scythe OR Aquatica

Examples of my artwork:
Colored Pencil
Pencil
Computer Graphics
If you are interested in my skills as an artist, feel free to check out my deviantart site.

ALSO, the top bumper at the 15th of each month will get a chibi-fied version colored pencil drawing of their avatar! Just so you have something to look forward to each month!

And yes, you can win a monthly prize AND be a big prize winner too! xd

The dice game!!! blaugh

And yes you can combine dice rolling with bumping!

Okay, this is how the dice game works. Roll 6 dice which are 6-sided. Possible numbers 6-36. The highest number rolled by the 15th of each month will win REGULAR bouquet of flowers! Your choice on flower type and colored wrapping! Also, if the highest number ties, the first person to have reach the highest number wins.

You may pick the following flowers:
Purple daisy
Blue daisy
White daisy
Blue daffodil
Yellow daffodil
Pink daffodil
Blue carnation
White carnation
Pink carnation
Sunflower (Only available in single-flower bouquets!)

Please see Boxed Lunch's B.U.G. guide for further information on flowers and bouquets.

You may pick the following colored wrapping and ribbons:
Red
Blue
Yellow
Green
Brown
Black
Orange
Purple
Undyed (sort of a gray color)

Please see Boxed Lunch's B.U.G. guide for further information on bugs and inks.

I'm not offering the pink, white, or gold ink because it takes a lot of ink to exchange for those. I want everyone to get the color they can, and I don't want to tell someone, sorry I can't make your bouquet because the last person used all my ink up. And also for some reason the ink exchange is turned off. >.>

Monthly Winners:
December 15 --- Pax Romana (31 -- Blue Daisies, Red Wrapping, Red Ribbon)
January 15 --- sweatdrop No one rolled. crying stare stressed scream
February 15 --- And...again. No one rolled. stare stressed scream
March 15 --- hayasu (24 -- Pink Carnations, Blue Wrapping, Black Ribbon)
April 15 --- stare
