So, for all of you who know about Gaia Online Magazine, they are trying to get a Lanzer doll for Meji, so they are having an art and profile auction.

I coughed up two mil to buy a profile from someone I highly respect in terms of graphic making.

Here is what I put in for the form.

Quote:
I WANT A PROFILE FROM Phoenix Basilisk

Name }} ecopper12
Theme }} Based around Elphaba, the wicked witch of the west. So, I want it to have varying shades of green and black. Not gradient though, not like green leading into black. I mean a varying black back ground, with shades of green in places.
Links to Pics}} The Broadway Art

if you could round that image without ruining it, just so it isn't a square in the profile, and actually blends in with the background so it looks like a part of it. That background of this picture if what I want the background of the profile to be like.
Sections }} About me, About Wicked, Wishlist, Interests, etc
Media }} A button player with no screen that plays four songs one after another. I want them in this order please.

http://www.playlist.com/playlist/additem/172162577 (No One Mourns the Wicked)

http://www.playlist.com/playlist/additem/161726993 (Dancing Through Life)

http://www.playlist.com/playlist/additem/275324689 (Defying Gravity)

http://www.playlist.com/playlist/additem/412410129 (No Good Deed)

Contact Links }} Add, Ignore, Message, Trade
Text }} I'm so delightfully Wicked...
Sometimes, being Wicked is best...
When your wicked, you can always get what you want...
Being Wicked is so much fun!

Make them gold with a white aura around them, and have them wavy, or curved. Spread them throughout the profile please.
Colors }} Green, black, white
Deadline }} I would like it by the weeks end if possible. If not, ASAP would be fine.
Payment }} Already paid through the Mule.


I think it will turn out great. here is a sample profile she made. http://www.gaiaonline.com/profiles/5619335/

I am hoping mine turns out just as good.

Since it is largely based around Wicked, do you think I made a good choice in songs? I was trying to get the most powerful and epic songs in the play. Dancing through life is in there because I like it. It may not fit, but it's my favorite.

Did I make a good choice?

Whoa, that's a pretty sick profiile (the one you linked as a sample). Now I want one. Too bad I only have 50k at the moment, lol.

I think you made a great choice. But then again, I'm a fan of Wicked. One of my favorite Broadway songs is "Popular."

Yeah? I like that one too. That's one of the more comical songs in the play.

As much as I wanted to, I didn;t want to put the whole soundtrack on the profile. Just the most powerful and epic songs.

Sadly, they did not have March of the Witch Hunters on Playlist.com, or else I would have had that one too.

Thanks! I can't wait to see what she does with it.

Yeah, which is why I love "Popular," lol.

What other musicals are you into?

I like the profile.
I'm not a Wicked fan at all, but the song fit.

Hmm...What other musicals? I would've liked to see West Side Story, simply because of the nostalgia and tunes. I might have also saw an ad for Rock of Ages, which I promptly dropped my jaw and wanted to go back and pay to see it.

I love my classic rock...xD

@ Rose: GASP! You don't like Wicked? What didn;t you like about it? xD

The songs never really got me.
And if I don't like the music I don't think I'd be able to sit through the whole musical.
I love musicals, just not Wicked.

That's fine. After all, to each his own. I personally love the musical, and I am currently reading the books.

Sounds like it could be an interesting profile.

I personally like most of the songs from Wicked. I've never seen the play though. I'm not entirely sure I would like it considering that while I love the original soundtrack to Rent, I found the movie to be really, really boring. Since I have different expectations about songs and then plays or movies, I have different opinions about the two different mediums that are somewhat similar. The movie was just like a bunch of music videos shoved together and I grew tired of it and wanted some actual character development.
So, I might just be a musical soundtrack type person and not a musical person. XDD;
Except Avenue Q. I really, really want to see that musical somehow.

I didn't really like the Wicked the book either. The guy's writing style was drawn out and boring and some of the later plot was kind of stupid. o: I think I got halfway through. I actually should find someone to give that one and the Snow White Witch one to. Maybe I'll just sell them. Ooo.
