Looking for donations, giving graphics in return.

[DustyPorViva]

It's been met! You guys are awesome. You know who you are. NO MORE DONATIONS OR REQUESTS PLEASE.

They currently need: $0!!

Money donated by Graalians: $412

Thank you so much to Jerret and the other 5 anonymous donors!


Original post:

Here's the deal: My sister is a teacher for autistic children and she has a class of five. Due to educational budget cuts, they can't get the supplies they need for the students, and they're looking for donations. I don't want to link to the page for the donations, so I'll be handling the donations through my paypal and transferring them directly to the cause.

Children with autism can more easily relate with certain objects that meet their unique sensory needs, and this is what my sister hopes to be able to provide to her students.

So here's where I come in. In exchange for your donations, I will be doing individual graphic requests(sorry, I can't make all the graphics for your entire server for a $5 donation). This can range from graphics for your server, to having your Graal character stylized in the style of my sigs, to even a spot in my sig itself in a scenerio of your request. I can also remake graphics for you, touch them up and such. Remember though, this is for a donation and I can't guarantee your happiness with my work, nor will I have the time or manpower to constantly rework my graphics to make you happy. I will however put my best effort into it. If you're not happy with that I can't suggest that you donate.

When your graphics will get done can be over the next week or two, but I won't start graphics until the money is donated. I will try my very best to uphold your requests to the best of my ability.

Donations will be done in lump sums to the cause, instead of individually. I will credit your names if you so request, just make sure you PM and let me know.

Money can be sent via paypal to removed. A minimum of a $5 donation is required for me to be able to do any requests, sorry. Realistically, donations should hopefully scale with the request made.

A tileset is a lot of work. An impossible request, sorry. I can contribute to it, maybe some grass and dirt, a tree and house. But a whole tileset is out of the question.

Depending on what it is, you could also script stuff for people.

New level makers could really benefit from a pics1 tileset with more tiles and a nicer color scheme to reduce the need for the over detailing of levels.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like that rather than artwork for a one-shot server deal.

D: Okay thanks.

Though if you donate enough, I may be more willing to fulfill such a request. I don't want to push numbers on anyone, but a tileset would be expensive, and probably never finished(I have never finished one myself).

In the end, the larger the donation the more time and effort I will be motivated to put into your requests. I would be a bad person to put an hour of work into a very large donation($100+).

I'm just hoping people will be realistic

[DustyPorViva]

Wow it's done... I don't know what to say other than how awesome you guys are. Seriously. My sister was absolutely amazed and so happy. You guys have floored me.

Really. Thanks.

Tell your Sis that she's awesome for doing what she does, Dusty. I wish I could have donated, too.

I have an Autistic girl in my class, and I can understand why the money is needed.

[Crow]

If I would've been awake when you posted this, I would've donated as well. Pretty awesome stuff your sister's doing there, seriously.

[Crono]

<3 dusty and sister so kind~

[xAndrewx]

yeah i didn't know about this either=[ i would have donated too

[maximus_asinus]

My niece and nephew are both autistic. I can really appreciate what you are doing here. Especially since I don't believe many autistic children get the help they need at home. Great job Dusty.

glad to see graal's community can get **** done in less than a day, unlike graal's owner.
