Rather important update:
My video card started acting really wonky last night and seemed to be overheating. We've taken it out of my computer and will be replacing it with one on-hand this afternoon.
Likely that sketches and any artwork going out will have to wait until tomorrow when I know everything is okay again.
Sorry for the delay, guys!

Welp!!
That's the end of the event, guys!
Art orders are closed and I'll start working on them immediately.
If you wish to still donate, please feel free. They will be accepting your tax-deductible donations through December 31st, 2013!
Thank you all again for the fantastic support! I'll be opening another thread, for my art specifically, tomorrow to showcase all of the submissions and donors!

I've seen a great turnout for this event and I have ONE HOUR LEFT!~
Please spread the word so we can get in any last minute donations for the kids!
--P'rido
About an hour left!
I'm super wiped out right now from the weekend, but still drawing up orders-- the first few of which will be going up tonight!
Let's see if we can get another 100.00 donated before the end of the event!
Spread the word, please and thank you!!
-- P'rido
Thanks guys!!
We've got just under five hours to do and more art is headed your way!
Take a moment and spread this to your FC and friend's who enjoy having character art or might pitch in with a donation!
As always, thank you for the support and being excited about this with me!
-- P'rido
Thank you~!!!
Right now, our team is sitting at 1475.00 out of our 2000.00 goal!
We're getting SO close and we've already SMASHED last year's goal!
Please feel free to donate and get some art or pass it along to your friends!
I'm churning them out asap!
-- P'rido!
Wow, that is just... low. Really low. I really don't understand people. >.< I hope they manage to get it back up soon.
I am going to donate a little later today. I kinda waited to get screenies but now I wish I hadn't.
It looks like the site is coming back up slowly.
Within a few hours, without another attack, people should be able to donate again. I went and asked how long we could accept donations for and you can donate through December 31st, 2013.
So no worries if it takes a few days or you can't do it right this instant!

Update: It seems some horrible person or persons decided to launch a DDoS attack against the Extra Life page.
The site is still down and they are attempting to get it up asap.
I may end up pushing my event a little longer than expected in order to make up for the lost time.
Thanks for being patient!!
-- P'rido
The Extra Life site is currently down, due to the massive amount of traffic.
Now, this is a good thing AND a bad thing.
Good -- THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE GETTING THE WORD OUT.
Bad -- You can't donate currently.
I'll update again once it's up, but for those of you trying-- please try in an hour or so!
-- P'rido
GOOD MORNING!!
It's Extra LIfe day!!!
My friends and teammates are already up and getting streams going! I've updated the first post with stream info! Feel free to check them out!!
And we're LIVE, folks!
Started off strong with some amazing donations!
If you don't want to donate, at least feel free to take a peek at some of the art being done!!
-- P'rido
YAAAAY!!! We're officially open! I'm doing a crud load better than I thought I would to raise funds, so I'm going to put up a personal challenge!
I will raise the fundraising goal to 1000.00 and see how close I can get before weekend's end!
New samples are going up and I'm starting in on actual orders shortly!
As always, THANK YOU for taking part even if it's just reading or sharing the thread! We're doing a lot of good here and I'm glad to be part of this!
Feel free to chitchat or comment on art that's done-- I know I have some interesting ones up. haha.
Thank you all you fantastic folks here at RPC!!
