O.K., I'm offering another auction (my other one is
here). I couldn't help myself when I saw how much we had already raised this morning!
Offered: A Moleskine sketchbook, sized 5"x8" (13x21 cm), filled out by me. The book can be based on your original project, or it can be based on a fandom listed below or that I agree to. I'm only being selective on the fandoms, because I really only want to pour this much time and effort into something I have seen/read/played and enjoy. Please ask if you don't see the fandom you are interested in on my list and are interested in bidding! There are a lot of fandoms I'm not even thinking about right now, just because I'm currently on a big FFXII/FFVI high. :)
Possible Fandoms:
Ivalice Alliance/Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X
Suikoden series (excluding IV, as I have not played it)
Digital Devil Saga
Shadow of the Colossus
Chrono Cross
CLAMP series (excluding TRC)
Alichino
Peace Maker series
Trinity Blood
Eureka Seven
Utena
Trigun
Rurouni Kenshin
Escaflowne
Death Note
Code Geass
LotR
Cirque du Soleil
The Details: The book will be 100 pages of art that include pen sketches, more finished ink drawings, comics, clothing designs, work coloured with Copics (maybe gel-pens as well, I'd have to test the paper), and other things I typically fill my sketchbooks with. The contents we will work out in e-mail! The freedom I have is up to you, you can either give me exact details of what you want on each page, or a basic overview of what you want to see (for example, you could have a sketchbook of mainly comics with some coloured pages/designs here and there). I will not be using pencil for this, as it doesn't hold up as well on the kind of paper in the sketchbook as pen does.
I have a known tendency - my sketchbook viewers will attest to this - of drawing a page depending on how I pick the book up. I usually fill sketchbooks right-to-left because I'm left-handed. Also, I tend to write 'mirrored' without realizing it. If you want your book in the traditional left-to-right format, you will need to let me know from the start.
Sketchbook Samples:
[1][2][3] I solemnly vow to not bring your book to critique and write notes amongst the drawings ala sample 2.
There will be a surprise coming in the pocket that the notebook comes with as well. But it wouldn't make any sense to say what it could be if it's a surprise, huh? ;3
ALTERNATIVE: Instead of a sketchbook, you may choose a watercolour book. It is the same size and has 72 pages you can detach. One side will have a watercolour, and the other side will have sketches.
Contact: Cerine @ gmail.com. Other information such as AIM and phone, if desired, will be given out to the winner at the auction's end.
Delivery: The time this will take to finish is not set in stone. It depends on what you, the buyer, wants me to do. Usually I can finish a sketchbook in a semester, but I make no guarantees as I do not know how exact the buyer will want their book. I will provide photographs/scans of pages regularly and upon completion will ship the book to wherever the buyer is.
Winning Bid: $415 by
ethanol ETA: I didn't mention this, but if the bidder wants the sketchbook to have a mix of fandoms and/or original projects, it's perfectly fine. I wasn't sure how cohesive in theme people were wanting the book. xD Also added a few more fandoms I remembered.
