It's Time for ICON DAY 2: SUMMER DUO EDITION!

Apr 15, 2013 19:46

It's time for Icon Day once again, this time with something a little different... I will be drawing with my good artist friend, Layne! :D Double the artists, double the fun!

FREE REQUESTS ARE: CLOSED
TIPS ARE: CLOSED

New here? Can't tip? That's okay: consider this a gift! :)

Here's what happens:
1. Follow the rules!
2. Leave a request in the comments section
3. We'll draw your icons digitally. :D
4. We'll post all finished icons at 100x100 pixels in one go.
5. Celebrate and dance so free!
• BONUS: Leave a tip and unlock bonuses that will upgrade your free icon. Extras include: inked icons, colored icons and extra icons.

We can draw you, your friend, your favorite character, your own character, animals, pets... or you can leave us a prompt: happy, sad, winter, autumn, smiling, formal, silly, unless you want us to surprise you. ;)

SAMPLES!
MEL


First icon in sketch form, the rest are their inked versions!

RULES
Please make sure your request follows these rules! If you don't, we have the right to change your request into anything we want... including a simple smiley face or a scribbly heart.

RATED G. Please make all requests and reference images appropriate for all ages. Nothing adult or explicit! Comments breaking this rule will be screened and you will not get an icon!

ONE REQUEST PER PERSON! That is, unless we unlock tip tiers that let your request more. One character per request, please!

PLEASE LEAVE A REFERENCE IMAGE OR DESCRIPTION You may leave links in your comment (please make sure they're open to the public and not in locked communities or websites), or PM/e-mail us your reference images if you want some privacy. For written descriptions, we may ask you for more information if we find your prompt a little vague.

KEEP IT SIMPLE! These icons will be small, and as such, need to be relatively simple. They will mostly be head shots. Mascots or small pets may be included depending on the difficulty level. We reserve the right to simplify your request to make it fit into an icon.

Our only requirement is that you PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST if you request! Please help us spread the word by linking back to this post on your blogging or social media platform of choice! :) Let us know in your comment where you signal boosted with a link :D

Any questions? E-mail mel.g.cabral [AT] gmail [DOT] com.



All icons are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License.

SCHEDULE
We reserve the right to close the request window early if we feel it is reaching our limit. Depending on the number of requests, it can take us one to three months. We will be doing these in our spare time outside of our other commitments, but we will do our best to finish them. In the event that Serious Real Life Shenanigans beyond my control delay production, we will let you all know. Please be willing to wait for your icon.

FREE requests will be open until 11:59pm of April 22, 2013. Tips for incentives will be open until 11:59pm of April 29, 2013. Anyone who tips is guaranteed an icon even if free requests are closed. (Based on Manila, Philippines Timezone!) If any extra icons are unlocked, we will let you know. :D

We'll be posting updates and works in progress in my Dreamwidth and tumblr art blog under the tag "Icon Day". When we're done, we will post them in a batch and reply to each comment individually with the finished product. Track or bookmark your comment to make it easier for you. :) If you have no Livejournal or Dreamwidth account and need us to e-mail you your icon, let us know in your request.

TIPS
Any and all tips are greatly appreciated! :D Your patronage allows us to keep making fun and awesome art and making great ideas come into fruition.

If you tip:
• Please note that PayPal takes a small percentage from every tip, hence we get a little less than what you drop into the jar. :o
• Please don't tip less than $1. PayPal takes so much from it that it almost becomes null.
• Please mention that you tipped in your comment so that we can give you your incentive. You don't have to leave your Paypal information in the comment for security reasons.
• Please either PM or e-mail me your PayPal address or leave a note in your PayPal donation with your username so that I can identify you. So far, confirmation numbers don't seem to match up for me and the tippers no matter what I do (and I still can't find an answer as to why this is happening), so giving me your Paypal email or username would make things easier for both of us. :) I will keep your PayPal information private.

If you plan to tip but haven't yet, make sure to follow up when you have tipped. I may also follow up on your behalf. This is so I can keep track of everyone. :)

TIP TALLY
$0 - We will draw a clean sketch icon for everyone who requests! People who tip will get their icons in ink.

$20 - If tips reach this amount, REACHED! Thank you! We get to treat ourselves to lunch while soundboarding art project ideas 
.
$50 - If tips reach this amount, REACHED! Thank you so much! We will ink the icons of everyone who requests.
$100 - If tips reach this amount, all of the icon requests will be inked and colored!
For all tiers up to $100, you'll get one icon from either Layne or Mel.

BONUS ROUND!

$300 - If tips reach this amount, people who tip will get an additional icon by either Mel or Layne of the same subject. This means you get two artistic takes on your request! :)
$600 - If tips reach this amount, people who tip will get a third inked and colored icon by either Mel or Layne. Either leave another request, or let us surprise you based on your first request!

$1000 - It's a surprise! Unlock to find out~ ;)

Click the tip jar below to leave a tip directly via PayPal! You don't need an account to do so. A debit card or credit card works just as well. :)

TIP TOTAL SO FAR: $61.93
as of April 23, 2013, 09:34pm (Manila, Philippines Time)
INKED ICONS FOR ALL UNLOCKED!

NEXT INCENTIVE LEVEL: $100 = colored icons for all!

Want to donate but can't use PayPal? Let us know and we can work something out. :) There's always bank deposits, meet-ups, and other possible payment options.

Thanks everyone! Let's have a great Summer Duo Icon Day!
