If you'd like to bid, please read all the following rules carefully:

AUCTION RULES

HOW TO BID:

-Bidding for all auctions begins NOW, and ends SUNDAY, MAY 19th at 8 PM Pacific Time (11 PM Eastern), -or- 15 minutes after the final bid for each auction is placed, whichever is later (to prevent any bid sniping).

-TO BID, please look at the sketch and determine which slot number you would like to bid on, then find MY COMMENT below with the matching number.

-To place a FIRST bid on a slot, please REPLY to MY numbered comment. For subsequent bids, please bid in REPLY to the previous high bidder, so they know they've been outbid and to keep bids orderly. If you make a mistake and bid in the wrong place, no worries, just please hide your comment ASAP and try again!

-For all auctions, the minimum bid is $1, and the minimum bid increase is also $1.

CONTENT INFO:

-Anthro/furry characters of any species are welcome, as long as they are within the range of normal humanoid sizes (macros/taurs/ferals won't fit in this composition, sorry!). Wings can fit into most of the auction slots, so long as they are small and/or folded.

-Ratings up to "PG-13" will be allowed - this means modest to sexy rave/club outfits, or nonsexual nudity are all okay! Couples can be hugging/cuddling/etc., but there will be no "bits" showing, or otherwise sexual/explicit content in this piece.

-You may choose whether your character is clothed or nude, and make suggestions for desired apparel/glowies/etc. However, please note that I will have the FINAL SAY in the pose and any clothing/accessories; I can only take GENERAL requests, such as "glow bracelets, shorts & tank top," NO very specific or detailed outfit descriptions, sorry!!

-Please note that sketch poses are APPROXIMATE. They are subject to move/change at my discretion when I begin redrawing them with character specifics! Additionally, any characters not part of the current auctions are still preliminary, and so may be moved/changed before being finalized for the "general admission" slots opening on Monday.

-Every participant will receive the full-resolution digital file, as well as a "web" size and cropped version containing their character(s) for resposting online. You may NOT distribute the full-size image, but you MAY freely repost and distribute the "web" sized or cropped images, so long as they are credited to me, and remain whole and unedited with my copyright information intact.

PAYMENT & TIMEFRAME

To keep an auction slot reservation, character references must be received and full payment made WITHIN 3 DAYS of my notification that you have won the slot. I can accept PayPal only, in USD please! If I don't receive payment and/or references within this time, I reserve the right to cancel and contact the next highest bidder / open the slot back up for someone else to claim, at my discretion.

Due to the complex nature of this commission, there will be NO previews or revisions, and no hard deadline is set. However, I expect it to be finished sometime around September, 2013 at the latest. General updates and periodic WIPs will be posted on FA, so you will be able to keep track of the progress here!

And that's it for the Auctions! Thanks so much for looking, and good luck!

If you have any questions you may note/email, or ask them in the comments BELOW the official bidding threads. Thank you!

NOTE: Some people did NOT read the rules, and began bidding before I posted the full rules here. All bids placed before the official opening have been HIDDEN; please bid again now if you would like to, thanks.
