Quick update

Got 6 characters up for Auction.

Peaches, Ashes, Kestral, Unnamed, Coral and Clover.

All are female winged opossums (pegadessum hominae), a unique species I'm working on giving a background and some life too. These are the only 6 in existence at the moment, and if there's enough interest I might even open for customs for anyone that misses out.

As an added bonus for aeach character that gets for $50 in the auction, the awesome ~temrin has offered to create a custom icon of the character with any modifications to the character, to go along with the reference sheet you purchase.

Art Giveaway Raffle

If you're a fan of my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PhoenixFireArtau You can op in to the raffle to win a custom piece of art. I give away a full color, flat color and inked every month, and all you have to do is like the page and like the image and you're in with a chance. There are other options, of course, that can earn you bonus entries (some of which you can do daily). Entries close on the last day of the month, so there's plenty of time to get your extra chances. Just check it out here: http://tinyurl.com/m7ma4et

Open for Commissions

If you've got a few dollars to spare and can't wait til the end of the month you're welcome to commissions me for a custom image of your choice. Right now I'm in need of food money, my car registration is coming up (approx $200 due in a few days), and I'm about 2 payments behind on my loan I used to get my fiance from the USA to Australia. I didn't actually realise until today how much I actually rely on commissions to supplement my income, but now that I haven't had any in a couple of weeks I understand exactly how important it is.

Any help would be appreciated, I offer sketches, inks and colors, digital and traditional, and my favourite is the Wing-It's that are less than half price. Only $30 for single characters, and $40 for couples. The compromise is that I get to skip the editing process that can take up weeks of time, and in about a 2 day turnaround you get a fully colored image of your character.

If you're interested in either feel free to check out my price list and examples either on my facebook page (above) or at my website where all the info as well as my TOS are: http://phoenixfireart.com.au

Last but not least

If you can't actually afford a commission for whatever reason there is donation fund available for you to drop a few dollars in here and there, I'm pretty generous about my 'rewards' system, as I prefer to earn my way rather than being given everything. It's just getting harder and harder to find ways to 'beg' for money so my funding isn't really going anywhere.

It's really important to me that we get the word out and about and try to really get this going. Fiance only has about 5 months left before her current Visa runs out. She's been here for just over a year now and I couldn't imagine my life without her. IF she gets deported it will honestly break us both. Another tourist Visa is possible, but that still costs about $1000 but it doesn't allow her to work while she's here. Ideally we need the Marriage Visa so we can get her medical attention and allow her to get a legitimate job so there will be two incomes. But that's about $5000 by the time we get all the paperwork for the process and pay just to have someone check into it.

If you can think of a way to help me out can you let me know? All the information on her conditions and what we need can be found at our donation page: http://gofundme.com/4kvb40

Every dollar that we can can at least earn you a doodle or something. I'm quite willing to give something for everything we get, so just let me know if you can, or more specifically if you have, donated and I'll happily scribble something pretty for you.

Thank you for watching
