Recycle my paper day
I declare today 'Recycle my paper day'. I really hate throwing out this fancy paper, it's textured, and printed with neat patterns, and I end up with little bits that aren't quite big enough to make badges or ACEOs. These left overs I've been hoarding, and now I can't close the paper drawer because of them. I want them gone.
And I want you to help me.
Cellphone added to show size, that's not even the full bin of scraps I have, so there's A LOT to deal with.
All the important info you need to know to get a free drawing on some of this awesome stuff under this cut!
So you want to help me get rid of this paper? Awesome! I'm offering two levels of support, free and donations. I will continue to do art until the stack is GONE, so this will be a first comment, first serve type deal when it comes to the free art.
Who gets top priority?
Those who donate will be guaranteed space, even if it means I need to cut up some extra paper for them. Once all donors are drawn for, those who linked the project get the second spot, and finally those who just ask for free icons will be filled in order of commenting. There's a lot of paper, so early commenters have some good odds in getting drawings.
What sort of art?
The smaller sheets will get head shots, in ink, with some white accents, very similar to these:
Large pieces might get up to busts, depending on the character.
Any subject is fine, from humans to jets.
SIGN ME UP! What do I need to do?
Fill this out, and post it as a comment.
Email: Required, so I can send scans.
Donation: yes/no.
Linked the project: yes/no - Include link to journal on LJ/FA/DA ect.
Character refs: Links and/or a SHORT written description. Nothing NSFW, please.
Base color: ONLY if you're donating, I pick your color otherwise.
Any other rules I should know about?
If you donate for shipping, PLEASE make sure you attach a working address to your Paypal. Those who don't risk having their shipments delayed.
Because I'd like to let as many people have a chance at this as possible, only one request per person. If you're donating for someone else, have them comment here separately and note that someone else is paying for them in the donation field.
ALL DONE for now! All donation art will be done TODAY, followed by a break, then I'll use the last of the paper to dish out freebies.
Edit 3:03 - Inking the first few donation drawings, learned my inking pen of choice bleeds terribly with watercolor, switching to colored pencil for those who sent $5+. Will start scanning and dumping here: http://www.theskulldog.com/paperday/
3:51 - First scan dump made, nearly all donation drawings are inked, adding color as needed, and moving on to some free ones now.
5:23 - It's raining, it's humid things are slow to dry. Small scan dump+edits for the ones that where just ink before, everyone is getting gentle color washes now regardless of payment, donors are getting the extra colored pencils.
7:21 - Another dump! Now I have some more donors to catch up on, free arts on hold while I get those new ones inked.
9:05 - I have 6 more nearly dry enough to scan. After I dump those, I'm going to call it a night, I'm pretty beat. I will pick up again tomorrow and finish off more of these. I STILL have paper left, so everyone is free to continue making request over night. If I wake up to a lot of requests, I'll close down, if my paper supply is still good, I'll keep it open longer.
9:44 Last scan dump for the night, more to follow tomorrow morning.
2:09 - Preemptively closing this down.
Day two - 12:54 - I am awake, but suffering some eye trouble that's a mix between seasonal allergies and spending yesterday working on small art in poor, rainy lighting. I plan to only finish off donation art today, then email everyone files. More freebies will be done once I can let me eye rest, and the sun comes back out.
2:56 - 4 more scanned and dumped. 2 more to go, 3 if you count a donation that no one claimed.
Way later at 2:01am - All donation art done, dumped and...tired as heck. Sending emails out tomorrow.
