Simply because I think it's a great way to raise money for our server as Donations doesn't always get us what we need to keep going. If you're interested in donating time to help out with the server, you can post below with what you can do for us. Multiple people can do the same thing, even. Donators can keep half the pay if they so desired while the rest goes to the server. So far we have: Keiran (buttons, prints, Posters, T-shirts, bookmarks, custom badges and art) Kenji-B (official TrollMe AU music, one album - three volumes) mecha (Prints, Posters, custom art, Shimejis (custom and default), Animation, Animated Icons, Interactive Flash stuff (default and custom). fashionablydesigning (custom cosplays, custom art, custom sprite animation) trollingking13 (custom theme music) We have enough people to move the discussion onto pricing range, though more people can post what they want to donate (if anything) to the server. What should be kept in mind when pricing your stuff is how much time and effort you put into your work. Project 1 - First round of merch.
For anyone who is a digital artist, please create either an 11x17 inch piece or a 17x11 inch piece at 300dpi (for printing) based on server lore or characters (ask permission to use the characters if they aren't yours please). Your signature or logo should go into the bottom left corner as I'll be placing the TMAU logo in the bottom right. Once you're done with the piece, please upload it to mediafire or a similar sharing website where I can download it directly from. First print created will go to you if you want, whereas the rest of the prints will be sold at our shop and at conventions to earn money for the server. You will earn money agreed upon for every print purchased. Anyone who isn't a digital artist needs to work on a project for selling, an example of a single or a set (sets are five or more if they're small pieces). Please take a picture of the example and send it to me!

All money earned by selling this merch (from me) will go the server.
Buttons - shiny metallic buttons (I can afford a button machine now) will probably contain my own characters, trollme au logo, symbols of my characters, creatures specific to our server, and custom buttons
Prints - 11x17 inches of our main story, characters and creatures
Posters - Wall Poster size, main story, characters, and creatures (many will mirror prints)
T-Shirts - of all colors, symbols, characters, logos, etc. all of my original characters and designs, to avoid future problems
Custom Badges - order a custom badge of your own character (or mine)
Custom Art - order custom art of your own character (or mine)

I could offer the following: - Prints - Posters (Or what I'm working on currently, Poster-like prints; unless you print them out on a poster thingy. Then they posters.) - Art - Shimejis (I could make these, but they take a lot of time. In fact I should be working on one for someone as a gift soon. Mostly grub based but yeah.)
Unsure due to lack of samples/experience/etc: - Animation/Animated Icons/Interactive Flash things (Needs a lot of work. Might I remind you of the ear thing? No? Good.)
Where would the money go?: 50% towards the server, 50% would go into savings to the Escape Project. (AKA, going to FL after graduation to stay. Getting out of Ohio. Changed to 50/50 since recommended.)

Let's make this easy for how much goes to the server: 100% to server.
Drawings - Drawing of any character you want (Just specify Headshot or Full Body; Coloured or Not; Shaded or Not; Colour of BG) Prices for Drawings - Waist-up, no colour or shading or bg = 8$, +colour and shading = 3$, full body = +3$, background = 1$ [Shading Has To Have Colour, Sorry. I'm not a B&W shader, just a colour. Again, apologies.] Examples: [Note: I'll draw all of them varied w/ or w/o a bg. You'll get the idea.] Simple Waist-up {8$}:
Waist-up, Colour+Shading, BG included {12$}:
Fullbody, Colour+Shading, BG Included
~More Coming Soon~
Sprite Animations - Any simple sprite animation of any character (Going Left, Right, Up, or Down) (Set of frames included) [***DISCLAIMER*** I WILL ONLY MAKE IT GO ONE DIRECTION FOR EACH PURCHASE! IF YOU WANT MORE THAN ONE, YOU MUST BUY ANOTHER!] Prices for Sprite Animations - 1$ each Example: [Going Down]

I can only help with one thing but I am unsure if I have enough skill to do it for the server. I am learning to create electronic music/ Dubstep. I can make custom themes for people.

75% of the money will go to the server and the remaining 25% will go to me for for supplies and bills.
What I can offer: Grub plushies - Small felt or fleece grub style plushies that are around 4 in. long.
Fantroll plushies - Normal style troll plushies that stand about 12 in. tall give or take a bit for horns.

How much money earned, if you get well enough with it, would go to the server? I would probably charge around $10-25 and 85% of it would go to the server (if the price isn't enough, please message me about what the price should be).

Your pricing should depend on how many hours go into the work itself. Try not to go below $8, as that's around the minimum wage. And don't forget, you can split 50/50 instead of giving the server 85%. It's your time and effort going into that.

so when will the merchandise selling start? Once we do the following: - create examples for everything that's being sold - organize everything (pretty it up to make it look nice to the eye and easy to navigate) - correctly price everything - create an official agreement to avoid lawsuits. Ain't nobody got time for those. Or money.

Okay for all the peeps who volunteered to make prints:
We're going to do 11x17 inches or 17x11 inches, 300 dpi or over, prints at $15 ($5 during specials). Try to pick something from the lore (anything from it) to draw or you're own character plus others if you have the permission to draw them. Make sure there is a background. Drawing a character with no background isn't worth $15. Make sure the bottom right corner doesn't have any major detail that you want anyone to see as I'll be giving you the TMAU logo to put there. You may digitally sign the piece, and date it, in the left corner.
Once you're done with your print, save it as a .png image and send it to me, preferably mediafire. I'll personally print them out (and send you one of them because you made it). This way it'll be easy for me to keep track of all the prints and send them accordingly when they've been bought.
I'll be posting a screenshot of the print on our tumblr once it's been printed and I'll add it to the shop. The amount you get in return for each purchase to your friend will be determined via what you agreed to give.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THEME YOU'RE GOING TO DO YOUR PRINT IN (I'm personally doing a Spawn of Chaos versus Tridivir one). You may make multiple prints if you so desire!
