The future of the LionGator. (IMPORTANT)
2 years ago
Good morning my lovelies.
So I'm going to get straight to it. With the exception of my birthday week and Christmas week, I don't know when I'll be back to regular streams. The issue that happened last week that caused me to pull double shifts at work, as well as the little help I got towards my moving, fueled by how little traction my pride pieces got, has finally made me realize that my reputation is still bad with people, and that my art is no longer viable as an income source.
With this realization comes another. That I have to start going back to my 12 hour days/7days a week work schedule which means I'm not going To be streaming for a long while. I'll still be drawing. But I won't be live anymore.
No one buys my art anymore, and for valid reason. My turnaround time is shit. I still owe poeple and while I'm projected to finish in 2024, i should have finished already. I can't use my art to get what I need anymore.
So. I'm gonna go back to my workaholic mode, pick up shifts and do more work, draw 1her3 and when in can, and maybe when my bills are caught up, and I'm not behind on anything. I'll come back to streaming.
I'm 2 months behind on my car payment
I'm $630 in the red in my bank account. And it's in danger of being closed down.
I'm $400 behind on my power bill
I need a little over $3k for my marriage.
My credit is tanked.
I'm still paying off people I owe.
I'm not having a good time right now. Drawing and streaming are just not feasible anymore.
I have to sacrifice my art and joys to fix this. And I'm tired of asking for help. And I don't want to take on any work anymore. That's what caused my reputation and credibility to tank. Taking on more and more and not getting anything done.
So yeah. No more streams from me in the foreseeable future. I've to much to do and I need to work. I'll make sure you guys know I'm safe and alive. But until I've caught up on my bills and am comfortable again, this is how it has to be.
Also. Let me add.
I am ok. I'm not mad. I'm more disappointed in myself for not being able to get a better grasp on my balance. I thought I was for a bit, but I have more work to do.
I do hope thay I'll come back strong and balanced.
But all in all I am fine.
TL;DR
• My rep and credibility are still shot.
• Art no longer viable source of income.
• pride pin ups are closed due to no interest.
• going back to 12-16Hr/7 day work week.
• still finishing commissions
• No more streams for the foreseeable future
I'm off to work. I'll be home around 10pm from work. See you all later.
Love you all

Thank you for your honesty, Darius. Keep your chin up, and rest up after a long day of work. Wash the day away. Don't push yourself past your limit. You can only do so much.
