Welcome to the September adoptable ornament character auction!
Just for a bit of background on these special auctions, as I make my pendants and figurines, to me these are more than just casts. Being hand painted, every design is a unique piece of art, and has felt like the pendant is imbued with a bit of the essence of that individual character. As I create these characters, and as I paint the ornament, the story of the character is just as important as the colors and markings, and is consciously kept in mind throughout the painting process. To push the idea further, I've decided to introduce these limited character auctions. On top of the Shisa already being limited edition, these particular paint jobs will never show up again on another Shisa ornament. You'll not only be adopting your very own mini guardian lion-dog, but you'll be able to physically hold your new character! These will be a rare treat, only once every one or two months. It is my hope that these rare beasts give people a tangible way to explore personalities and adventures, which they can share with others in the form of ornaments, stories, and art!
Character Background:
Many generations of bulky, powerful Shisa have led to Vex's family lines, all of whom have been assigned to the brutal conditions of ancient Rome's mines and quarries. Vex's job is not to be the "beast of burden". Instead he's tasked with keeping the unfortunate slave workers in line. His outer and inner personality struggle for dominance. On the one hand, naturally he is a thoughtful beast, yet his circumstances have molded him into a brute. It is far better to keep the dominant "prison guard" front up than it is to fall in line with the rest of the workers. However, Vex shares one important thing in common with the condemned souls, they all long for the freedom of an open sky. If only he could gaze up at the stars one more time...
Auction info:
Auction ends Saturday, September 12th at 2 pm MDT.

Please, no notes.
What you will receive:
•The character pictured above.
•A high-res, non-watermarked version of the reference sheet, along with a smaller internet version. Character sheet design will be similar to Kaldr's sheet: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15203413/
•The photo turn-around of the ornament for further reference.
•An actual Shisa ornament painted as this character.
•A physical copy of the reference sheet for you to take to conventions.
•A special offer of 10% off future commissions of this character.
Ladder Options:
$100 - Meet this and receive a special playing card drawing of Vex. This is a type of drawing which I don't normally offer as a commission! Sample: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17187017/
$170 - Meeting this will include one Full Body graphite drawing which may be added to the reference sheet. Also, I will add color to the drawing from the previous ladder option.
$325 - A big thank you for meeting this level, meet this and Vex will have a mate! This is an opportunity to have your hand in a Shisa character's story and to mold Vex a little more. You have your say in general colors/markings, then I'll paint her. She will also come with a character sheet and playing card drawing, similar to Vex.
*All originals will be shipped along with the pendants.
Bidding Rules:
•I will create a "bid here" thread in the comments below. Please respond to the highest bidder in the thread.
•Serious bids only. Please do not withdraw, hide, or edit your bids.
•Please no comments in the bid thread which are not actual bids.
•This auction is in USD through Paypal.
•The winning bidder must Email me within 24 hours of the auction ending. No notes, email only!
•Full payment must be made within three days of the invoice being sent.
•If the payment is not made within these times, the next highest bidder may be contacted.
•Inability to follow these rules may make you ineligible to bid on future designs.
For the Winner:
•Email me at ccarpenter (at) wintersoulstudios (dot) com. I will need to know your Paypal address along with your physical address so that I may ship the pendants and printed ref sheets. Also let me know if you'd like any changes to the reference (read below for details on ref).
•I will be sending a Paypal invoice, which will need to be paid three days within being sent.
•On the reference sheet I can do minor changes, mainly to the text. Optional- I can also add your name (character owned by...). For the ref sheet, I may also be able to make minor changes to markings, the ears, etc., just note that depending on the complexity of the change I may charge an additional fee. The physical ornament/pendant may not be changed at this point. If you would like changes to the reference sheet, please let me know in the initial email.
•You are welcome to expand and build upon the story, markings, physical build, add anthro versions, etc. I would prefer if you did not completely re-design her to the point of being unrecognizable. Owning this character does not give permission to take credit for this drawing/reference sheet, the original design shown here in this auction, or the physical pendant. Also, some sort of credit or reference in the modified versions and artwork of this character would be greatly appreciated!
•If this character is traded at any point, I will not be able to make changes to the original ref sheet which comes with this auction.
•Shipping is not included. I will be shipping as soon as possible after the auction, but bear in mind that the reference/certificate will only be printed after your final approval, which means if changes are necessary it may delay the time for shipping. Prices: US - $5, Outside US - $29
•I would love to make more art of this character! So, this also comes with a "welcome home" 10% discount off future commissions of this character.
Thank you to all who participate, good luck!
