As you know, in recent weeks Haiti was struck by an immense earthquake that hit extremely close to their capital, which contains the highest population density in that country. This is not the only disaster Haiti has faced. This is a country plagued with political turmoil, immense environmental problems and is also one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. This earthquake is the last thing they should ever need after all of that.
Ok, so what can I do to help?
Whether you are interested in receiving art from me or not, I highly urge all of you, if you can, to head over to the Red Cross website thru Gaia (NOTE: You don't need a Gaia Acct to donate!!!)
www.gaiaonline.com/forum/haiti… donate whatever you can spare to the Haiti Relief and Development Fund. Be sure to take advantage of Gaia's MATCHING DONATION PROGRAM
www.gaiaonline.com/forum/haiti…! Where they will match your donation to the dollar (so if you donate $10, they give that amount as well, bringing the total to $20 donated!) If you can't donate online, there are many certified locations around you that would probably take donations as well. (Your schools may have fundraisers, and some stores will also take donations on your behalf. For example, Kmart.)
So wait, I can donate... and get art??
I know my art isn't of the highest quality, but if you are interested, I am offering CHIBI ARTS to people who can donate online to the Red Cross. (It'll be like commissions, but the money goes to Red Cross instead of me).
One chibi art like this
naeru.deviantart.com/art/Giant… one here for each donation of $10 USD (MAKE SURE you do Gaia's matching donation program
www.gaiaonline.com/forum/haiti… and make your donation worth $20~!!!!!!!!)
!!!!!!!!!! Before you donate, please NOTE me on this site that you are interested and also give me a reference pic of what you want. WAIT FOR MY CONFIRMATION and acceptance. If I can't draw your char and you donated already THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO. So ask for confirmation with me BEFORE DONATING. !!!!!!!!!!!!
I can draw anything as long as it fits in the style of characters I've drawn before (avi forum characters, OCs, cute stuff pretty much. Don't be cruel and make me draw mecha, furries, and pron. Cmon.. seriously.)
You will be asked to provide me with a screenshot of the email confirmation you get upon donating successfully, but PLEASE block out and remove all personal information such as credit card info, personal address, etc etc from the screenshot. I just need the TOP PORTION of the email where it's a paragraph that thanks you for the donation (the site takes a minimum of $10). Please also make sure the date of the email is visible, as donations made before this posting do not count. I have donated myself so YES, I do know how the email looks like >>;;
Due to time constraints, there will only be 2 slots open
One chibi per slot, so 2 chibis I will be drawing in total.
Slot 1: Taken <3
Slot 2: open
These slots are my TOP PRIORITY so I will be doing them before any of my other commissions.
Thank you so much, and if any other godlier artists out can offer this feature as well, I URGE YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER OFFERING YOUR SKILLS TO HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
