Mega-MLR Charity Album & Smile : A Christmas charity Fund

[Makkon]

Poni1Kenobi: Totally! Previews are fine. :]


So guys, let's vote on a date, Charity Album Vol2:

28th sound good?

[Facexplodie]

EDIT: ^ aha!

this answers my question
AND YES IT SOUNDS BRILLIANT

[CaptainFluffatun]

Yeah, I could easily make that! I second Makkon's choice

[MiuMiuChuu]

I took the liberty to design vol.2 cover;

Dan dan!


With text;


I was initially thinking about Fluttershy but the Luna doodle I did in a plane back home looked nice...

But if people prefer other characters or other's drawing then I'll be okay.

Miu: drawing is nice, but luna isn't male

I failed so hard, didn't I? ;-;

I'm sorry. I'll ask the mods to delete the post right away if it's really awful. D:>

NO

I'm so sorry I hurt you :|

[MiuMiuChuu]

But really, if it's not good/presentable enough, I'll really delete it and make a new one or ask some other artist to do it. I mean, the best for the community, right?

Don't take it too seriously, please.

I also didn't like volume one's cover.


I think non-anthro would be best, though

[MiuMiuChuu]

Hmmm... I see... Truthfully, I kinda followed the first cover and drew a character in a human form (which some people think may not be a good thing). Let's what other people think first then. If there should be a new cover then I'll try to do some other artwork.

Well, yeah. Sorry if I took it a bit too seriously :/ I'm too insecure, sorry... ._.

Don't worry Miu, I'd say that it's just the face that looks off. Everything else in the picture is great.

Oh and by the way, your song for the album was awesome. Just wanted to say that.

[qdBrony]

Ummm... Hi. I'm qdBrony, one of Osoth's Beatle Bronies compatriots. Anywhoof, I submitted my entry as per the usual channels. Hope you like.

[SoGreatandPowerful]

Western standards of beauty...

[ismbof]

Me and Bronyfied are working on a song for this volume. It's going to make you "Smile".

[Makkon]

Guys, you're all awesome. This whole experience has been awesome. I hope with the current circumstances I'll be able to put in a full effort. Lets really make this one count!

Me and Bronyfied

I read that as boyfriend.

I can't wait to see the final product. I'm almost done with my entry ^-^

Oh god! You can even switch the letters around to spell "boyfriend"! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Our song is actually turning out quite nice. Hope you'll like it!

Why did I only find this thread today? I'm terrible at forums.

[Makkon]

JUST TO CLARIFY

DUE DATE IS JAN 28th


JAN 28th

[[voodoopony]]

I think the only hard part about this for me is not being able to publicize the track xD Is there a point in time when we're free to post outside of bandcamp? It's one of those songs that I'm really proud of and want to wave around at people's faces :/

sogreatandpowerful asked 3 pages ago

What would be a prudent time to, say, publicly upload a YouTube video of my submission for volume one?

[Solarsail]

I don't even think the previous composition's tracks were up on Bandcamp. That could be something that could be done this time, since you don't have a GlobalGiving bonus requirement to meet, so at least people could preview the whole album before buying as well as having a minimum donation lower than $10. Disadvantage is that Bandcamp will take a cut, but you may get more total donations due to the two things above.

I hope the tracks from the first compilation are put up somewhere, at least to listen to for free (Bandcamp, Youtube) if not download, after a few months. (Yes I did buy the first one). Everyone who was going to donate will have already donated, and ultimately the donating should be happening because people wanted to contribute, not because it's the only way to get hold of the tracks.

[InC]

Hi everyone !
Major update on the second volume : as those who donated have noticed, GlobalGiving takes a 15% tip on donations. This wasn't an issue at all for the first volume, as all of it went right into the 3,000$ prize : the fundraiser page shows $17,300, but people actually donated $19,900, and CCA received as much as $20,300 !

However, after we cross the $20,000 mark, CCA will start receiving less than what was donated, and we really want to avoid that.

Fortunately, Bronies for Good is currently collaborating with a fellow brony working at Your Siblings towards another fundraising event, "Seeds of Kindness", aiming to fund the building and supplying of a clinic in Uganda. By working this them, we can ensure that 100% of the amount donated goes straight toward the building and supplying of the clinic : you won't find any CEO benefitting from a $1M compensation here, the policy at Your Sibling is to transfer everything fully, cover themselves the money transfer costs and use their own private savings to travel to Uganda.

This is why I'm proposing an alternative course of action : rename the album to "Seeds of Kindness" and push back the submission deadline to the 29th of February. This way, we can synch it up with the BfG event and offer additional prizes such as plushies, just like we did with Smile!. Moreover, because Your Siblings will be fully collaborating with us, there won't be any complicated instructions : just donate and you'll get the album.

What do you think ?

Sure, someone asked a while back, and no one see any issue with the artists publishing their track on Youtube, maybe a month after January 25th (which is when the prizes will be handed out). The idea isn't to extort money, but rather to make the gift of an album more valuable and meaningful.

Many chose to upload a preview of their submission for the first album, but sure, I don't think it would do any harm if some full compositions ended up on Youtube after the release date as long as there's no download link. What do you think ?

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY 'AYE'


And we need to start a new thread for this.

[Facexplodie]

AYE! Yar! Sounds good to me. Plus, I think releasing Vol.2 at a later date will allow for more time for people to get hyped up aboot it. And moar time!
