Smores

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! -- P'rido

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! -- P'rido

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!

Updated with a color sample for Aleister!

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! -- P'rido

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

Thank you so much! :love: You're awesome for taking part! I really appreciate it! And with that, we have a couple new sketches up and more to come!

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!!

Thanks everyone! We're going in for the big push! I'll be afk for two hours or so to draw/sketch and eat!

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!! -- P'rido

Good morning all! It's the day of kickoff for the Extra Life Art Jam and we're already almost at goal! I'm so excited!!! I hope everyone had a great halloween and is ready for the weekend~ I kick things off at 6pm EST and my friends start streaming tomorrow morning at 8am EST! I'll be sure to plug their streams in here so you can watch something fun! [[Probably a LOT of cursing and shinanigans.]] You might even see me cameo for a few games! More art in an hour or two! Please look forward to it!

You can donate and request at any time since people have started. I just won't be going into full swing on the art until this weekend, but at the rate we're headed, I'll hope to have some done before the official launch!

Aww, thank you kindly! Someone else on my team is streaming this weekend and we both can't do it-- or they both suck. rofl. Just doing what I can! Thanks for the support! --P'rido

Awesome! Great to hear, Alothia! I figured I'd go ahead and post up some samples of what people would get if they donated to the cause!

[align=center]UPDATED!![/align] [align=center]Extra Life Art Jam 2013 is LIVE!!![/align] [align=center]Thank you everyone for the support so far!![/align] [align=center]___________________________________________________________[/align] Morning! I'm seeing lots of Extra Life 2013 threads pop up and I figure now would be a great time to ask. I'm relatively new to these forums, so please don't let the low post count bother you. I'm part of a team for Extra Life 2013, like a couple others on here. However, my roommate is going to be the one streaming and due to our bandwidth, we can't BOTH stream. I came up with a way I can still be part of the fundraising and actually give something back to those who donate. *Drumroll* A special art thread for Extra Life! What I'd like to do is open a limited time thread (the weekend of Extra life) and offer my services to this lovely community in exchange for donations to my Extra Life page to help children across the nation. I just want to be sure that I have a mod's approval, as well as input from the community, about the idea. As always, thank you to anyone who read this and even more thanks to those that pitch their two cents in! -- P'rido
