It's time for another fundraiser event to keep Brohoof open! This time things will be slightly different based on the experiences with last event. All donations must be a minimum of $10 to prevent Paypal from taking up too much of the money in fees. As usual the place to get information on our current financial status as well as the information on how to donate is at these two links:

 

Current finances

 

http://www.brohoof.com/finances

 

and how to donate is at

 

http://www.brohoof.com/give

 

 

If you are a first time donor you will get your name added to the list of names in ponyville town hall, and if you donate $60 or more you will get a heart next to your name. This at any time, not just during the event.

 

During the event vendors will be offering their own personal rewards for donating, these often include art, skins, and other items. Vendors can register in this thread and build a little tent such as this one:

Be sure to vary the color pattern in the roof and the flag so you can tell the tents apart. To register build a little tent with what items your going to offer and how much you want to donate to get one on signs on the tent. This can be any price over $10. If you'd like to see example tents from last year you can go to /warp fundraiser to see the ones from last event.

 

The entire event will be located in the courtyard in front of town hall in ponyville and will be arranged so that everyone has space. It's a great opportunity to look through even to just see some of the awesome fan art we do, and of course donations are appreciated.

 

Good luck and help us keep Brohoof open!

ya know what? i'd like to sign up for this.

i'll have only up to 3 slots open though since i have to limit my art workflow so i can do homework...

 

Each is only 1 (ONE) character each:

 

1 headshot

= $10

 

Full body coloured drawing

= $20 because lol

-edit-

I've decided to change my offer a little.

 

Just to clarify, i'm making this at the full price, but i would also enjoy it if i could at least also advertise my DA within the tent and maybe along with small preview map-images? would that be possible?

 

oh and, i won't be completing it on the day. I might be able to stream one or two whenever i do though but that would be in Australian hours.

So there could be a delay between the buying and receiving of the art. but anyways, i'll try to make it clear somehow.

Can i join too? this sounds fun!

 

I can sell full body drawings for 10$

and wallpapers for 10$ 

and any canon character for 12$

 

I  would typically charge cheaper for my commissions ( like 1$ ) but i can do 10-12$ for now :D

 

My deviant art account is here: http://emmamccoy.deviantart.com

 

One question, how will the money work?

The money just works by them donating through paypal via the instructions at www.brohoof.com/give

 

My advice would be to wait on actually filling the orders until they clear the ledger from Brohoof. Which could take a few days depending on when the money gets received and logged. The ledger can be found at www.brohoof.com/give and then scroll all the way down to the bottom and look for the tab marked ledger, this will show how much was donated, and usually by whom. People can choose to pay anonymously as well, but it should be fairly clear if the server got the money or not. Paypal is the most common means of paying. We also accept bitcoin I believe but you better double check on that and I know nothing of how that operates.

seems reasonable

just a curious question, this wouldn't be seen as worthy of being a donator? not that i need to be, but i understand if not. It would be nice to get some appreciation back for it :/

I think this situation is more community service you know? You get a thank you and you get to feel good about yourself for a while.

We do seriously appreciate the vendors making this event possible, it helps keep us online and makes the entirety of Brohoof possible. However, it is difficult to make simply offering incentives as a vendor the same as a donor, since you are only attempting to help raise funds, rather than giving them yourself. You are certainly putting time and effort into the server in an effort to make money for it, but that's not quite the same as actually directly giving the money.

I might have to cancel but i'm not sure yet. My tablet is not working with my PC and if it turns out that it's a problem with my PC then I am not going to be able to do digital art for a few months. It could also be a problem with a cord, but I doubt it. I will tell you when I am sure. I can still do traditional art but I don't know if anyone would be interested.

 

My tablet is working again. Everything is good.

Pony Portrait: $10

 

Spoiler

 

Additional ponies included free of charge. I will try to do all of them full body, but some trickier requests (lots of horses/lots of detail) might just end up as a headshot.

 

Semi-HD Skin: $10

 

fmB3eYu.png OTPdHGr.png

 

I will not be doing any clothes for these; no time cus of exams! Small accessories are negotiable.

 

Semi-HD Skin and Pony Portrait Bundle: $15

 

Both of the above for a single pony character.

 

 

I'll try and get on at some point to make a tent; if I do, it'll be light blue and yellow.

"i would also enjoy it if i could at least also advertise my DA within the tent and maybe along with small preview map-images? would that be possible?"

 

The signs can say basically whatever you want, I for one am running out of room on my tent for new ones, so you have to word stuff carefully to get it to all fit in nicely, I also usually include my forum name on the side so that if I'm not online at the time when people come by and read the signs they can PM on the forums and I can deal with them later. If your a builder you can build next to the set up from last time (warp /fundraiser) and I'll pick it up for you when the event starts, freebuilders can pre-build theirs in range or derp and I can pick it up from there as well, but you'll have to show me or make a warp to it and post it here. The command to make a warp is /warp create <warpname>

Thanks so much!

 

I'd have a skin shop, but they take a good while to make.

I set mine as /warp SaviTent

 

If you do end up making maps could you line them along the wood? If you only make one then put it under the cup. Thank you!

The person tells you that they paid, and you wait and check the Brohoof donation page to confirm they did so. After you checked that they did it you can go give them what you made.

 

That is how it worked last time, I don't think it has changed.

Event closed and we got a total of $137.96 today, so there's almost another month of Brohoof for us all to enjoy.

You didn't have to pay because it was hosted on your own computer, thus the hardware was yours to begin with. (Technically you still have to pay for the hardware/electricity/internet which your dad probably is doing in the background, but that's besides the case)

 

For large servers, generally a home PC doesn't have the connection/upload rates needed to handle 30~40 players without causing lag on both sides, so they have to rent a dedicated server from a hosting company. Likewise with the forums, and the better and more powerful/more secure the server they rent out, the higher the price.

Well, we took down the server like 2 years ago. and ok.
