ICONS FOR GAZA
hey everyone. so apparently i can't do a group pp to people i'm not friends with?? idk. so here we go. if anyone would prefer a discord gc lmk and i'll happily make one.
if anyone doesn't know me, hi! i'm astrea!
first thank you SO MUCH for your interest in this. i had been thinking of doing something like this for a while but had been a bit hesitant to post on it. i know lots of folks see this a a political issue and don't want politics near rp but it's really not. and personally, i just feel the need to do something. i don't have much i can contribute but after seeing a new round of artists 4 gaza i felt compelled to do this.
so basically my thoughts are what i said in the initial plurk. folks can make a donation and then we will make them a set that is worth the same as the donation.
i don't know how many sets i'm going to offer or if i'll just have these commissions open for a set amount of time. you are all so amazing and i know time is valuable so any amount of sets you'd be willing to contribute would be amazing! i also think it would good if all our prices were the same. in the past i've done 10 cents per icon for commissions and usually set a max of 150. but tbh if people really want to donate more i'd be willing to discuss that with them.
i was thinking of making a comm that would have an information post with some information and resources about what's happening in gaza as well as all of our information and links to our commission posts. the comm could also be used in the future if anyone else wanted to do a community fundraiser like this.
i also think it might be a good idea to have a poll about what organization we support. i'm kind of torn if we go with letting people donate to whatever or picking just one (or two) so there can be more of a collective impact.
apologies if none of this makes sense, like i said i've never done anything like this before so i might be winging it a little lol.
once we've figured out the details i'll also put another call out to see if there are any other interested icon makers.
also totally willing to make a discord server so we can have more organized discussions on this :)
thank you again for your willingness to do this!

I think having a set commission post for all of us might be best instead of linking our own? In regards to donations. Also agree on vote on which organisations + set period of time is useful.

i think a set commission post for everyone is a good idea too.
