Description the egg raffle prizes got me back in the mood for these~
sorry about the higher SB/AB this time around, but the time i take making these keeps getting longer & longer  :')  someday i need to figure out a faster style that i can sell for cheap, lol
**the wait time is also longer due to Stuff, but i plan to have them all done roughly a month after purchase--i'll still set a deadline for myself & put it up on Trello for those who want to keep track

*Starting Bid: $10/1000pts (for each)
*Minimum to raise bid: $1/100pts (for each)
*Auto-Buy: $35/3500 (for each)



EGG OWNERSHIP STATUS
A: SOLD to
B: SOLD to
C: SOLD to (post-auction flatsale) 
D: SOLD to




these eggs will hatch into semi-surprise designs that you can choose the species for if you win!  

If you win an egg, please specify:
-species preference, any real or non-copyrighted species is fine! (humans/human-like are also fine!)
-if not human, would you prefer the design to be anthro or feral?
-clothes/accessories, or none?  (keep in mind that that the design of the clothes/accessories themselves will be a surprise--this is just to allow you to specify whether or not you want any)
-if you want a clothed design, do you have a thematic preference for the outfit?  (Ex: formal, knight, etc)
-do you want the public upload to be watermarked? 

Things to remember:
-Since the hatched designs are shaped from buyer preferences, they are not premade & thus will not be delivered immediately--expect an approximately 1-month "incubation" time  (I'll still put an estimate "hatch" date on my Trello to-do list, so you can check on it there.)  
-if you want an original or "closed" species, you must be the owner of that species
-resulting designs will be drawn in a freeform pixel style (no particular size restraint, i'm just gonna have fun with it)
-like most egg adopts, the color palette & other visual attributes of the egg will be incorporated into the resulting design in some way  (if any of these remind you of Pokemon, you're right  :'v  something about the random pokemon generator really helps me with adopt prompts, lol)
-these will be SFW designs, so if you request a human with no clothes, they will still take on the attributes of the egg & have an "alien" look to them  (unnatural skintone/texture, etc)


Auction Rules:
*Please use the featured comments to place bids!
*If you're increasing the bid, please reply to the last bid placed so that the previous bidder knows they've been outbid.  
*Individual Egg Auctions will end early if auto-bought, or if **24 hours have passed since the last bid.  Otherwise, the deadline for all eggs will be February 28th, approximately 10PM EST.
  **24 hours, give or take a few if the ending time happens to fall during my sleep schedule.  
*Please be certain that you'll be able to pay what you're offering when the auction ends.  Don't outbid people just to "reserve" it if you don't actually have the points!
  -if you hide your bid comment, i'll interpret that as withdrawing your bid 
  -Make sure you'll be able to pay within 48 hours of winning! 
  -If there's no response, the egg will go to the next-highest bidder--if there was no next-highest bidder, I will reopen the adopt for bids until the deadline--the previous winner may still claim the adopt for their original bid as long as they do so before any new bids are made.
*If I've advertised this auction offsite, I may end up placing a bid for someone else, if they don't have an account here.  Such bids will be placed as "___ bid by offsite-user"  (I'll take care of letting them know if they've been outbid.)
*If paying in points, please only pay using the designated commission widget with your name & amount on it, after I've told you you've won!  
*Hopefully this goes without saying, but please be civil about the results!

Buyer Receives: 
* 100% size & zoomed sprite of hatched design, & a 50% off voucher for applicable commissions from me of the design!  (Voucher is automatic/permanent for buyer until if/when design is resold or traded--the new owner may also have access to this voucher.)  
  -by "applicable" i just mean that the species has to qualify--for instance, you won't get half-off a Snaptrap YCH
*If auto-bought, buyer will receive an additional "Familiar" companion for their hatchling!  
  -you may choose the species for the familiar as well--just keep in mind that it will be a smaller & simpler design.  
  -you do not have to treat this bonus design as a "Familiar" in the usual sense of the concept--feel free to consider it as a completely separate character in your own work!    

Use Rules:
*You may purchase an egg/design as a gift for somebody else, I'd just like to know who it ultimately ends up with, so I can edit this deviation's info accordingly.  ((you may also allow them to choose the species--just let me know who it is, so i'm not confused if they contact me about it   ))
*Feel free to elaborate on any details or change the style
*As for credit, linking back to me is appreciated but not required, as long as you don't claim credit for the original design.  ((I'd love to see what you do with it though--it's always a thrill to see other people draw your designs!))
  -You may credit yourself for any significant alterations, as long as this is clearly specified
*I know I don't have much control over this, but I would really appreciate that my designs not be used in extremely hateful, propagandist, or degrading contexts, thanks  ;v;  
*If you want to use the resulting design in a long-form commercial product (for instance, in a video game), I would prefer to discuss it first.  (I'm open to this, but would just like to do a brief content check for anything immensely objectionable that I'd rather not be associated with) 
*Trades and resells are allowed, as long as it's being resold for equal or less than the total amount of money spent on the design (this includes the value of any additional art commissioned of them).  If possible, I would also like to know who it's being resold to, just so I can update the owner info accordingly.
*You also of course have permission to commission art or crafts of this design from any other artists.  (Tagging me in these is also not necessary, but I'd love to see them! <3 )

I want to AB "D".
but does a random Pyke (altered) design is considered "fanart" or it can pass as a "parody"?
