Artist Paintbrushes

Items

Due to the previous popularity of the Gold Paintbrush, a couple of its friends have come to play.

If you're not certain what an artist paintbrush is, it's an item you can trade to an artist for their services. The artist can then redeem the paintbrush for USD via PayPal for their work.

The Gold Paintbrush is still redeemable for $15 USD.
The Blue Paintbrush is redeemable for $10 USD.
The Metal Paintbrush is redeemable for $5 USD.

These items are now available on the Purchase GP page for USD. Originally we had the Gold Paintbrush in the GP Shop but it caused us a bit of problem, so we're going to test the paintbrushes here for direct USD as there will be 100% no issue in redeeming them in this method :)

If you recall when the Gold Paintbrush was in the GP Shop, it was at a price of 45 GP. Due to the nature of it being for USD now, the price was dropped to $30.00 USD. The other paintbrushes are $20 and $10 respectively.

If you haven't been able to find someone to make custom artwork for you, scoop up a few brushes (or trade someone for them, if you don't have PayPal) and commission away!

Now, some changes (good ones!):

Originally, the brushes were only acceptable to be redeemed for custom designs. However, reintroducing them, we have changed that. Before, you couldn't use them to commission predicts and custom bases (uncolored), but are now allowing that. Custom bases (uncolored) have no restrictions, but the following restrictions on commissioning predicts with paintbrush items is as follows:

- A single metal prediction cannot be redeemed for more than $2.00
- A single LBC prediction cannot be redeemed for more than $3.00 USD
- A single BC/HBC/etc prediction cannot be redeemed for more than 5.00 USD

Why are these restrictions implemented? This is to be fair to the current artists for the breeding team.

You can mix and match your purchases with paintbrushes as long as the value of a prediction isn't exceeded in the total. For example, you could commission a set of LBC predictions (two babies for a total of $6) and a set of MBC predictions (two babies for a total of $4) in exchange for a Blue Paintbrush, and this would be acceptable.

Also, to clarify, with anything without a restriction (like pet designs), you can pay more than one brush for a design. You can also use these to commission PSD color jobs, not only completely 100% unique designs. :)

Please keep in mind that sending brushes to accounts upon purchase is a manual effort, so please be patient when waiting for your brush~

Have fun!

Roughly how long will these be available? Is there any possibility of them becoming a permanent fixture?

Is there a way to purchase different brushes under the same transaction? I can't seem to get it to do so.

Wait... maybe it's cause I'm being a bit slow today, but can I ask for a clarification? Does this mean the price cap on GP for prediction commissions have changed as well or is this only applicable for when redeeming USD payments with the Brushes? - Dragon

@Syleni -- I can't promise they're permanent as we're just testing them out for now, but I can guarantee they'll be here at least two weeks, if not more! ... @Wisp (#1343) -- I don't believe so ;n; Sorry!! ... @Nonnavlis and Dragon (#7033) -- Nope, nothing about GP predict prices have changed. Sorry!
