I just - what just happened

U P D A T E: added several pages to the book already for those bidding, hope you don't mind. Preview in the stash folder

This auction is for an 80 page sketchbook  5" x 8 ¼"( 13x21cm ). Moleskine books are rather pricey notebooks but last a very long time. You can choose between a red or black white paper moleskin sketch book or a brown paper earthbound book. You can choose ONLY ONE! This is not an auction for 3 books, just one.

Will include:
- The book, obviously lol
- I sketch mainly in pen and marker so 90% of the illustration in the book will be in pen and marker. Rarely do I pick up a pencil but I might.
- My sketches are often my finished work so everything will look very neat and professional.
- You can tell me what you would like in your book, a general theme, however the images will be random. So say you want some of your OCs/fanart or maybe a few landscapes. I will decide whom to draw, how to draw them, or where to draw. This is because the book consists of 80 pages, and there's no way you can dictate what I should draw on all 80 pages.
- Just as a perk, I'll include a one of a kind bookmark.
- If you opt for me to draw whatever, you might get the best result. For obvious reasons I draw best when it's what I love to draw. Expect a lot of my characters and tons of realism doodles of things I see.
- Several full color illustrations, not all just in pen/black and white. I will be spending a lot of time on this!
- All artwork will be one of a kind. No one else will have it but you!
- I will insert some notes and studies. So if you wanted to learn how to draw things like I do this would be helpful.
- Might be 80+ pages. I am notorious for inserting random sketches from loose leaf paper into my sketch books.
- Your name will be written in the inside cover, and I will sign the book.
- I can decorate the cover if you so desire!

Why are you doing this:
Well I would like some extra funds for MBTea and I figured this would be a fun way to obtain them! I want to start making lanyards and bags so some extra cash would be nice as those things cost a lot of money that I do not have aha.

How payment works:
I will only take payments through paypal. Since this probably wont be very cheap, and this will take me at least a month or two to finish, I'm not going to expect you to pay everything up front aha. Depending on the price at the end of the auction will determine how many payments will be made. I will divide up the end price with the number of pages in the book and that way every time I reach a certain number of pages in the book I will send you an update and you can then pay for the next installment. No payments greater than $100 at any given time. If you need other payment plans I'd be happy to work it it out. I will be keeping you up to date, sending you photos of sketches in the book. Though some will remain a pleasant surprise for when you receive the book.

There will be no refunds once this project has started. Reason being this is a custom book and if I fill it with your characters or fandom I cannot resell it later. Therefore once it has begun it cannot be cancelled. Should you have to cancel it, since you pay periodically, I will stop drawing and you can have the book however completed it is but you will not be refunded.
