WE HAVE EXTENDED TO THE 28TH! AND DON'T FORGET IF YOU INCREASE THE HB BY 20K OR MORE, YOU GET A FREEBIE FROM AMETHYST!!!
Welcome to the first Crystallia Studios Art Auction! 3nodding

Crystallia Studios is an art group that has been in existance since 2001, beginning with three members, and expanding today to over seven members! Now three members of the Crystallia group - Jade (Velveeta Lolita), Amethyst (Iyou), and Ruby (RubyDarkStar) - have decided to have an auction here on Gaia to raise funds for a group art contest.

So hang around, chat a little, and bid if you can! Thanks for being here! heart

HELP! If you're interested in commissioning Velveeta Lolita outside this auction, please read the following information. The transmission on Vel's car just died, and she has no money to get it repaired. (Vel is going to be 21 soon and needs this car to get to her job and other things - it's not just a case of a greedy high school student losing his/her joyride or whatever.) She's now taking commissions through her DA account for real money - read her journal to find out more information. Even a $10 commission would help, so please take a look!

Update 12/24/06: For every bidder who increases the HB by 20k or more, Iyou will do a freebie for that person. (Only one freebie per person, though.) Remember to come and talk a little - you might end up getting a freebie anyway!

Styles of art: Chibi (cell-shaded or otherwise), regular anime/semi-realistic, semi-realistic lineless.

Examples:

Additional examples: iyou.deviantart.com

Bid tiers:
All tiers are colored in some way, lineless coloring just takes more time and effort to do than coloring with lines.

901k - Knees up with small background and lineless coloring
501k-900k - Knees up with small background OR Knees up with lineless coloring
151k-500k - Waist up with small background OR Waist up with lineless coloring
101k-150k - Waist up
50k-100k - Shoulders up
Start at 30k - Headshot

Will do: Gaia avatars, OC's, anthros

Will not do: Hardcore porn, mechs, extensive armor/metal, cars/motorcycles/bikes (detecting a pattern, are we?), anything else that violates Gaia ToS.

Freebies?: A few

Other notes: Sorry in advance - I know I've done more extensive auction pieces before, but knees-up is about all I think I can handle right now without getting overloaded. I have to go back to college at the beginning of January, so that leaves me with not a whole lot of time to complete an auction piece before I go back. Thanks for understanding. heart

Jade: Sorry peoples, none this time for now. (Might change my mind later.)

Amethyst: Roll ten 6-sided dice and get a 13 or a 57, and you'll get a sketched headshot. :3 Please PM me with a link to the post where you rolled the number to claim your freebie if I'm not hanging around the thread already or don't seem to notice.

Ruby:6th person to post on page 69 will get something
and bump600 times to get a little something i think that covers it 3nodding
might also do cheap quiz thingie...dunno yet ninja

Note about freebies: For anyone who happened to get promised a freebie at Amethyst's (Iyou's) last auction but never got one (lol, 30 bumps for a freebie is a little too much...sorry), post here or PM me with a reference for your freebie. Alternatively, you can just opt to receive 1k from me instead. I've lost the list of people who I need to give freebies to, but I'll recognize the people that I owe something to if they post here/PM me. I want to repay you guys somehow! gonk

Update: Iyou has found the list of people from her last auction! Yay! She's sent 1k for each freebie she owes to everyone, so hopefully it's all taken care of now.

Ditto about Velveeta's (PurpleyxPoo) last auction with Cajanic. But pls try to send link of old auction as well for verification.
