This thread is to keep track of who will be pledging to donate to help Hellboy get the original artwork for the Fourtheye TShirt Design.

MOG - $50
Kittaan - $50

Please post if you want to take part and list your pledge amount. Per Hellboy do not make any actual donation until we have enough. We need to raise $450 which should be easy enough.

Lets get this shit done

[Off topic posts will be moved]


Link for donations: http://www.fourtheye.net/membership - Scroll to the bottom and find the DONATE button.

Not sure why nobody else has stepped up yet, but I gotta say it bums me out.

I'll go up to $100, leaving us with $300 to raise. This is very doable, and I really think it's not a lot to ask for the many years Matt has made this place available to all.

If you don't want to post here, please PM me. We are NOT collecting money for this until we know we have enough to make it happen, so please commit to it. When we have enough pledges logged, we will likely just have everyone use the existing PayPal Donate link on FourthEye.

From the other thread, in case you missed it:
Kittaan wrote:Just a heads up: I have been in contact with Frank Heiler, the artist who made this very cool piece Hellboy will be using for the shirts/hoodies. We locked down the original art for Hellboy and Frank is even throwing in shipping to Oz, which is very cool of him. Really nice guy.

Now we just need to get the funds together and make it happen. Total is a very reasonable $450. Moggie and I are willing to start the ball rolling with $50 each. Once I nail down the best way to handle contributions to the fund (need to hear back from HB), I'll post it on FourthEye and we'll get it done.
hellboy wrote:My thoughts on you guys rasing money for this are:
  • I am very humbled by this very generous offer.
  • I don't want to take money from anyone until enough is pledged. Should for whatever reason the sale not go ahead I don't want to hang onto peoples money (or have you guys doing the same).
  • I would really like people to buy shirts - for those with limited funds I'd rather see them ordering a Fourtheye shirt first. I'm happy to throw any profits towards the poster.
  • If an when you have enough pledged you're welcome to use the Fourtheye Paypal "Donate" button to collect the funds, and then I can transfer the funds to Frank from there.

I can make a donation, but not till the 15. Since I had surgery my last paycheck wasn't as big as it should have been. Where do you pledge? I will make sure to do so on the 15th.

Right on chill. No worries on having to wait until the 15th. We are just going to use the donation option on the fourtheye page but we won't be doing the actual donation until we have enough pledge dollars listed here. So just respond back with how much you want to pledge and I will add you to the list. Once we hit the magic number of $450 we will then all make our donations. Thanks again!

Updated Pledge List:

MOG - $100
Kittaan - $100
MobileVortex - $50
The Chill - Amount To Be Determined

The goal is $450...again...this is an easy goal to meet given all the members around here. Particularly some of the long timers....We are only $200 away from the goal.

REMINDER - THIS PLEDGE DRIVE IS SO HELLBOY CAN PURCHASE THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK THAT IS BEING USED FOR THE FOURTHEYE T-SHIRT. WE ARE DOING THIS FOR HELLBOY AS A THANK YOU FOR ALL THE YEARS OF DEDICATION AND ACCESS TO THIS SITE AND ALL OF HIS HARD WORK. THIS SHOULDN'T BE THIS COMPLICATED. KITTAAN AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PLEADING WITH THE MEMBERSHIP TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. MOST OF YOU HAVE $20-$50 BUCKS YOU CAN THROW AT THIS. IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. GET IT DONE.

I was just forced down to basically 5 hours every two weeks at work because I started student teaching so I have extremely low cash flow.

I'll pitch in $10. I know it's a shitty amount but it's honestly about what I can afford right now.

If things look up for me by the time the collection starts I may possibly be able to kick it up to $20.

theChill - $50
PimPle - $30-$50

We are at $430-$450 now. Awesome job everyone. $0-$20 away from our goal. Almost there!

Glad you guys are willing to lend a hand, we need to make this happen.

I say we leave this open until Monday and then pull the trigger. I'm sure Mog and I would be quite willing to go back to our original $50 each if others want to share in the glory. If not, I'm perfectly happy to go with it as is.

Thanks.

I honestly had no idea that this was a thread until today. Can you put this on the front page so more people can see it?

That's a great idea, but I bet Hellboy doesn't want to do that.

I think we are pretty damn close as it is.

UPDATE:

I confirmed with the artist, Frank Heiler https://www.facebook.com/SummerSubstructures that this is happening. We will use the Donate feature on the main page, but PLEASE WAIT until we are ready to go before making your pledge - We will announce it here on this topic.

Since several are waiting for paychecks to come in, we'll shoot for September 15th.

Here's the current pledge list:

MOG - $100
Kittaan - $100
MobileVortex - $50
theChill - $50
PimPle - $30-$50
Raven - $10
Und - $40
Bill Hilly - $50

If any further pledges come in, we'll adjust since Hellboy's not looking for any extra funds. If not, no worries, we're very close and Mog and I will cover if necessary.

Thanks to all, this is a good thing.

I planned on buying a shirt rather than donating, but if all we are short is about 10 or 20 then I would have no problem donating to the cause instead.

Awesome, I'm glad this is happening.

I do hope there will be a few more $10-$20 peeps stepping up to lower Kitaan and Mog's total though. Not that they care but it'd be nice.

I presume you mean this post. I didn't move it, but I assume Kittaan did as he's trying to keep this thread on-topic. If you have something relevant to add to this thread (ie a donation) then feel free to post.
