#nerdfighter-art

Oops I got a bit carried away with this one, had fun painting this little guy.

Thank you so much for your donation! I love drawing birds ^^

Project for Awesome 2016 HAS BEGUN! That also means that the Nerdfighter Art Perk is live :D The livestream is going on right now and Emily of The Brain Scoop is on. I contributed art to the art perk, which is a fun perk that you can get in exchange for a $45 donation to the project right here!  By donating you will get a random art piece created by a nerdfighter somewhere around the world!

Pet portrait commission in exchange for a donation to the 2016 Project for Awesome - Thank you @lullalilly for your donation!

Its that time of year again... Project for Awesome is rapidly approaching! Project for Awesome is a wonderful, big online charity auction where youtubers and people of the internet come together to raise lots of money for good causes. 

In exchange for donating to the campaign (when it goes live) you can get many awesome perks. One of the perks I contribute to every year and love creating for is the Nerdfighter Art Perk. You can get original art from people around the world via this perk. In the next few days leading up to and on the days of P4A I’ll be uploading art I created for this perk. 

First up, puppy size elephant done in ink and watercolor!

Last year during the days leading up to the Project for Awesome, I took drawing requests in exchange for donation pledges. People sent me asks saying things like “I’ll give this much money to the P4A if you draw this thing” and then I drew the thing and posted it, and hopefully the person donated the money they agreed to. It was really fun, but the amount of publicity I got for doing it led to me being overwhelmed with requests, while other blogs started doing the same thing and probably didn’t get as many. With the amount of excitement generated by this whole idea, I realized that I think as a community, we have the potential to raise a lot of money this way. 

This year I want to make a post with a list of creative Tumblrs that would like to do requests for pledges, and then I want to get that post promoted as much as possible. 

So, if you have a Tumblr where you post any kind of art (including stories, music, etc.) and you want to be listed on this post, send the following information to me by December 3rd, and I’ll publish the post the next day. If you have an ask box, I will link to it in the post. 

Email to [email protected]: 

your tumblr url

your name and/or the title of your blog

a description of the kind of art you're taking requests for (drawings, comics, fan fiction...). Include any conditions you have for requests (for example, if you’re only doing nerdfighter-themed art, or you’re only taking requests on certain days, or you don’t take anon requests) and anything else you want to include. Example: “I’ll be taking requests for Nerdfighter-themed drawings and short comics from now until Sunday.” 

if you do visual art, send me a sample image to include in the post

Some additional notes: You don’t have to do all of the requests you get. The idea is that people only donate IF you post the thing they wanted. 

The official dates for the P4A are December 9-11. Usually the donation window extends a few days before and after the event.
