New offer:
If people from these forums donate at least a total of $60 between them ($1 from 60 people of $60 from 1) then I will give away at least $100 worth of art!

I'll somehow randomly choose between those who donated to decide who gets the art. It may be one lucky winner, it may be several with the total cost hitting at least $100 - A lot will depend on what deals I see and what artists catch my eye. If there is just 1 donator well... *shrug* I'll still spend the $100 but I'll reserve the right to include on of my characters in it as well... Can't have someone looking at this as JUST a coupon offer.

To be in the running for the random free art you must donate before the end of Foo's drive, it looks like there are 5 or 6 days left. You MUST include your forum name in the comment section so I know who actually donated. And you must be prepared to provide decent reference photo's and submit your character to the artist of my choosing if you are one of the randomly picked... Or actually, you don't. By all means you can donate towards this and pass on the art. Nevermind that part

Anyway, that's the deal... People here donate at least $60 and I give out at least $100 in free art which I may spend all on one piece or on several.

So... who wants to give water for a chance at art???

Otherwise I base it on the characters skin tone. Once I know what that skin tone is, I'll put down the opposite value as a wash over everything so that the skin tone pops out in the scene.
