48. CUPCAKE FUNDRAISER COMMISSIONS.
ALL COMPLETE. THANK YOU!
HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR ANIMALS THIS AUGUST!
1 AUGUST - 31 AUGUST
 I am offering icon commissions for the month of August to fundraise for National Cupcake Day for the RSPCA, a non-profit organisation that aims to help animals in Australia. What is National Cupcake Day? National Cupcake Day is a fundraising day where animal lovers are invited and encouraged to bake cupcakes (or other goods) to raise money for the RSPCA and their animals. It's a day that occurs in August, but baking parties can be held on any day of the month. You can read more about it here! What is the RSPCA? RSPCA stands for Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It is an independent, non-government community-based charity organisation that aims to prevent animal cruelty by enforcing animal cruelty laws, prompting new legislation when required, operating animal care and adoption facilities, and holding community events to raise awareness of animal welfare and encourage adoptions. It is a national Australian organisation. Every year, they receive more than 55,000 cruelty reports around Australia and care for more than 135,000 animals. You can find out more about the RSPCA here. (Thank you Bella for this really neat act!) The RSPCA also offers support to people fleeing from domestic violence. Pets are often the silent victim of domestic violence, and are sometimes the reason why people stay in abusive relationships out of fear. The RSPCA runs programs to assist people and ensure their animals are safe. How do the funds help animals? The below is a really basic breakdown of how these funds (or any funds) will assist the organisation and its animals:
I also believe donated funds assist them in court when charging people with animal cruelty. Where can I find more information? You can find more information about the RSCPA here and Cupcake Day here. What do you get out of this? Nothing monetary. I thought that since I have a platform where I make icons for cash that I could use my commissions to help an organisation that I admire greatly and help animals that I wish I could take home. I'm not a baker by any means, but I thought that since I "bake" a lot of icons that I could propose this to my community and see if anyone would want to contribute to this great cause. I will be asking people offline to donate, too, and will be trying my hand at baking. #godhelpusall ( edit 19-Jul ) Apparently I get milestone incentive rewards from the event, such as free Krispy Kreme donuts ... But I receive no money, and I am not doing this for the free milestone bits and bobs. I would love it if I could adopt a tiger but it appears this is not a milestone to be had. (Rajah will be mine someday ...) Why this? Anyone who knows me knows I love animals with my entire being, and as an owner of three cats that often assist in making my icons (they wreak havoc on my Photoshop and often require me to try and reestablish my workspace), I want to help animals out as best I can. RSPCA is an organisation I hold dear to my heart; I have my cat insurances with them, and I became a Guardian Angel last December and "adopted" a short haired black cat named Max. My donation helped Max over the Christmas period where he had round-the-clock care and hopefully a few warm things to keep him company. Do I have to commission you to donate? No! If you wish to donate but don't want to commission me, you can still donate here. Thank you so much! Icons during this period will cost $0.10 per icon. My usual "15 icons free" policy won't apply to this fundraiser. I will not be accepting dreamwidth points. The maximum number of icons I will complete is 150, with the minimum being 15. This is so I can turn icons around quickly on the weekends! If you want more and you're happy to donate that amount, let me know! Pricing will be as follows (an example): All pricing is in AUD. Details Turnaround times I usually make icons on the weekend and 2 sets per weekend. For this fundraiser, I am changing my turnaround times slightly. I will still be making the bulk of icons on the weekend due to having enough time to commit to creating a set in one sitting. I will be increasing the number of sets I complete based on how many commissions I receive. (For instance, if I receive 5 for the weekend, I'll complete 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday.) I will let you know if I'm running behind or cannot complete your request by the eta that I've given you. ( edit 19-Jul ) Donations When you donate, you'll be asked to fill in personal details on their page to confirm the payment (name, address, phone number and email). You will receive a receipt when you donate, and I will receive a notification of the donation. This notification email I receive will include the name you input into the fields, so please feel free to fill it in as "Jane D" (your preferred first name) without your entire surname! If you're not comfortable donating direct to the page for whatever reason, you can send payment to my PayPal and I will donate to the page your amount. I want to stress I absolutely do not mind doing this as I want everyone to be comfortable! The organisation does request personal details, and does appear to allow for international folk to donate. Questions If you have any questions, feel free to ask below or send me a pm! SAMPLES                         In case anyone wants to see comics, video games, and more LA. AVAILABILITIES as at 05/09/19 ( edit 02-Aug ) The queue is first come, first serve. Although the queue looks daunting, these are all estimates based on me getting 3 icon sets completed per week. I expect, and will be aiming for, the queue to move quicker than that. I'm accepting caps during August! The queue is currently Placeholders won't be taken. -- 01. 110 x Amber Heard and Emily Rudd for ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small} onetouchdonnie / donated 29-Jul.02. 152 x Allie Pressman for kungfuey / donated 26-Jul.03. 100 x Nicole Haught and Rosita for magnitudes / donated 2-Aug.04. 115 x Zoey for wylds / donated 2-Aug.05. 25 x Hayley Marshall for tessitura / donated 23-Jul.06. 150 x Pikachu for fursleuth / donated 12-Aug.07. 100 x Crowley for schematise / donated 1-Aug.08. 178 | 100 x Annabelle, 25 x Snow White, 25 x Maria for ofwovenstone / donated 8-Aug.09. 100 x Theon, Julia, Wynonna, Megan for indestructress / donated 12-Aug.10. 106 x Han Solo and Qi'ra for syndicators / donated 15-Aug.11. 150 x Chloe Decker for devilsheel / donated 25-Aug.12. 150 x Five for callidus / donated 14-Aug.13. 150 x Clary Fray for killmarks / donated 2-Aug.14. 88 x Kory Anders, Dick Grayson for glacier / donated 31-Aug.15. 150 x Waverly Earp for magnitudes / donated 14-Aug.16. 150 x Aziraphale for gaveitaway / donated 31-Aug.THANK YOU so much for wanting to be a part of this fundraiser!

I hope it's alright to split the commission between different folks since I was thinking of going 50/50 with Amber Heard and Emily Rudd. ; o ; If not, please let me know and we can just make this the Emily Rudd Hour (Again)...!

I've downloaded your first half and will eagerly wait for your second half!

Here is the final link to the rest of the screencaps. I apologise in advance for my rushed Photoshopping in some of the hair edits, haha.

I wish you the best of luck for the charity run! Again, I really think this is a very touching thing to do and I hope it goes off without a hitch for you and the foundation you're helping. o /

Forgive me but I did edit the screencaps a bit further since I completely blanked on doing eye edits for my character. That's what I get for marathon editing. (I left the hair untouched, though! And realised a few files were acting funny since I pulled them up on Photoshop and saw that they only turned up completely white, so those have been fixed as well.)
Last time you'll be getting a link from me, I swear.

Your cupcakes are going to be baked and delivered with an ETA of this weekend (3 August/4 August). I may be a day or so late because I'm going out tomorrow night, but I'll keep you posted if it's a few days later.
I'll give you a sample of the icons so you know I've started, and once I've completed the set, another set of samples so you can see how other caps may have come out. I'll PM you the finished icon set! I'll see you soon ...
no subject
Please feel free to take your time if you have other obligations to do! You're already doing so much amazing work here and I don't want you to be bogged down, should it be easier to focus on other caps/icons. :>
But I do wait with bated and look forward to the weekend! I hope you have a good Saturday and Sunday ahead!!
no subject
I have a sample of your icons for you. I should be able to pass these over to you tonight if I don't freeze beforehand. You need to ask Amber Heard to stand in better lighting. I know you have her on speed dial.
no subject
And I'm so sorry you had to contend with the awful, awful lightning of Amber Heard's screencaps... But if anyone could come out victorious, it'll be you. (And I'll definitely ask her to stop joining such blue and dark-toned heavy projects for everyone's sake. Trying to do her Aquaman underwater scenes is a nightmare ahhhh-)
no subject
I made all your caps, so you have 110 icons as the Amber ones where she's outside in like blueish grey lighting doesn't please me as much as the others (seriously, please phone her!!), so hopefully the rest make up for that!
Final sample of your cupcakes below:
I'll be pming these to you in a minute! Let me know if it goes for a wander.

These icons surpassed my expectations and I'm glad to have helped you and the animals for the fundraiser!! Good luck with the others and I hope you have a good time. (Also I wanted to say congrats for surpassing the goal! I clicked on the page earlier because I wanted to check the pet food recipes and !!! Congratulations! I'm so glad you made it and then some.)
no subject
Thank you so much -- I'm glad you like them! I never want to manipulate the colouring you do since you've obviously coloured them with a specific colour for a reason, so I'm thrilled that you're happy with them. It's always fun to colour caps that are slightly different.
And thank you! I didn't realise we'd tipped it over the goal, but the generous peeps of rp and some of my offline friends have been super troopers. I am very grateful that some animals are going to be financially looked after because of the people in my communities. Thank you for being an enthusiastic part of that!!
