Welcome to Gaia! ::


Hand Animated Avatar Art

I will hand animate your avatar for you.

This is to help me get the items I'm currently Questing for: Staff of Angels and Ninga Band.

Please read this entire first post before bidding.

News: I've decided I will also animate original/RP characters, but you'll need to be as descriptive as possible and providing a reference of sorts would be nice too. I'll also animate a fanart of an anime character if you want. THough remember, be kind to the poor animator and consider the outfits and items the characters wear before ordering. As stated below, I'm not a machine that can pump these things out picture perfect time and time again. Remember=the simpler the design, the better the animation will look in the end. First thing you learn to do in character design class(for animation). Also, NO animals. I'm sorry but they're a pain in the arse to animate realistically. Even non-realistically.


What you are bidding for:
A animation of the subject of your choice and action(within reason) that will last a few seconds. So basically, a second of animation takes 12-24 drawings depending on the action. So you're paying for 24-40 high quality inked drawings. (which means technically I have to draw them twice. sweatdrop If the bids go above 10k I will also color it if you want. Though there will probably not be as much shading, because you'll only see the shadow for an instant. Basically if I spend a lot oif time coloring and inking each and every page, well, to put it simply, it would probably take a month or more to finish. I do have college to worry about(and that's always my first priority.)

You will also get a still image of your avatar.


Here is a very simple pencil test sample, sorry it's so small, it was larger but photobucket shrunk it. I will e-mail you a full size version of your animated avatar to make sure it doesn't happen to yours, As well as a smaller one for your sig if you want.

If you wish to see the larger version pm me and I will try to e-mail it to you.Yours won't have that icky black page though. That was a mistake I'm too lazy to fix right now. sweatdrop

For the curious, that is a pencil tested scene from my junior animation. I'll try and get something that's colored up soon. sweatdrop
Keep in mind:

It may take more than a week to complete, especially if you want it in color. A single second of animation takes 24 drawings. So, please don't rush the process. Give me at least a week or so to do a pencil test. I will keep you updated on it's progress as it gets completed.

Do NOT bid unless you currently have the gold/items you offer.

Simplicity=faster results: The fewer items and hard to draw clothing your avatar has on for the animation sequence the faster it will get complete. Please don't kill me with 50+ items on your avatar. sweatdrop

I will NOT do freebies. Drawings are tough in singular quantities, I'm not a machine that can mass produce these things.

You can choose the action so long as it's not too long. The sequence will only be a few seconds, so don't ask me to animate a movie. Actions that are easily looped work best.

I will only accept items that are rares, donation letters, donation items. Or some good store items. All items will be considered worth their current GEN/marketplace value. It would be best to calculate your items first before bidding. I suck at math, and though I will check it's best if you calculate it yourself.

I will want half upfront(you will get a quality CG picture of your avatar to tide you over til the animation is done.) Simply because animation takes a lot of time, and I want insurance that you won't back out after the deal.

Top bumper at the end gets a free drawing of their avatar. xd Number your bumps. Anyone caught cheating will be automatically removed from the running.

If you need a reference I can direct you to a friend of mine that has seen my work in person.

Other Rules:

Be polite!
Follow the TOS. If it breaks the TOS it doesn't belong here.
Don't bid if you can't afford it.
Bumpers welcome, but do not stretch the page with large bump images.
No bid retractions! Be sure you are able and willing to pay for it before bidding.

If you have any questions at all, or would like more samples, PM me..

Current Status: Online

If this generates enough interest when it's complete I may start another.

I'd be grateful if you can't bump or bid, if you could post this banner in your sig.

Okay, done setting up. I'm off to class. I'll be gone a few hours. Maybe I'll post some more samples later if I can fond some. Note: Depending on how high the bid goes you will get a fully colored animation. Colored starts at 10k though. It's a pain to color so many drawings. gonk
One last bump before I go! xd
I know you're gone now, but I just had to say... that is SO cool whee Good luck with your auction.

Now back to acting like I'm paying attention to class.

Thank you Shadole. I wasn't sure if this would generate any interest or not, but thought I might as well give it a try. sweatdrop
