Help for Japan, because I can, I join too
A days ago I see the comm help_japan in the post of some of my friends in LJ. I was tIred that day and didn't can read so much how it works, but yesterday I sit and read all the comm post pacientley (english didn't help me somethinmes :/ , and thanks to disownmereturns for explain me a little about this), and see all the people post offering art, fics, and others stuffs for donations. In deviantART some of the watchs I have do the same, some art sketchs or other things for money. And other ones... do art for scoff of the ones who made this things for donations. So many comments in sketchs of one of the watcher I have (a person really popular in deviantART with millons of visits) was for scoff or flame about this, like say its stupid or "do you really think this help people? you're patetic", etc (and 'patetic' is literal, I saw that comment right now).
A lot of people response indignated about this, and say things like "I hope if you think this is patetic you're doing something much better for help" and other things like that. The war of flames never start, because the trolls don't response, but I don't know, that gives you a bad taste. Maybe they're just trolls, maybe are people who thinks that.
I'm the type of person who think if everybody give a penny, the most little thing, or whatever; if everybodydo that... then it will be a lot of help. Because my way of think, I join help_japan and offer some things. I prefer offer diferent things, whit diferent start bids. And maybe I chose "high" prices to start in the first ones, but I'm busy right now and what I offer are things wich will take me a lot of time, I prefer at least have one only person who bid in each one and get that price I consider can help (and if I ger more, better then). Because I feel a little questionable that prices I start another auction for chibis whit a low price.
I offer (high price to low price):
A doll/plushie of a character to election of the winner, size of 6 inch / 15cm aproximated, full detail and accesories, totally hand made and one of a kind. Just like one of this ones, click the pic for full view:

If you will like a character whit more detail, armors, swords, accesories, bijou, etc, etc, etc I can do it too. I have experience making dolls like this, and I made more characters than I can remember. I can handle everything, and add special details like velcro in the hand of chlotes, jackets or hats wich can be taken off (the basic clothes don't cant be taken off, like pants and shirts, only the others things), glasses, and all type of accesories. The only limitation is because this are small dolls, and the form of the patron make it not have neck and ears (ears can be added if the winner want it, for put some earings or make an elf, etc), some things don't suit very well.

Maybe my art is not the best, maybe the prices I chose aren't the best too. I see a lot of GREAT artist offering things, or tons of sketches, in deviantART or Livejournal; and make me feel like I'm not at the level for do this *laugh* But I past my life seeing in the news the disasters over the world, we have here in Latin America some earthquaques in Chile wich was horrible a time ago, and other things in my own cowntry the past years, and I didn't do nothing for help whit that because I don't know how to do it, and in my house I'm not the one who works for the money and our situations is not the best for donate. But now I see I can do something for my own, I want to try.
