NEED HELP, AGAIN
6 months ago
General
EDIT: THANK YALL i am now much more stable!! donations are of course welcome but i am no longer in financial danger
tl;dr i am still overwhelmed with the comms work i took on to pay my 2024 taxes. bills-plus a $1000 tax payment-are coming. i need help.
please donate here:
https://paypal.me/daeelyna
i take commissions; buying some would be an absolutely enormous help too. my queue is nearly empty.
please note or dm me if interested.
to get into more detail:
the last week of may and the first week of june were kind of an intense haze for me. i discovered some things about my mental health and neurotype and while i've been working hard throughout, it impeded my work pretty badly, and this has resulted in the work on my immense backlog being slower than i'd like but faster than i could've hoped. the problem is that "faster than i could've hoped" does not allow time for advertising for commissions, and i don't want to reflood myself like i did before because it'll lead to the same exact issue.
this is also linked to a concern i have about my work--people are not buying commissions anything like they used to. i'd like to build up a decent queue size, but business is slim right now and i really need a helping hand, whether it's spreading my commissions or my donation link. in total, i'm about $700 from scraping by. and that would leave me penniless afterwards.
i am genuinely afraid at this point that i've burned out peoples' interest in my art. it's a lot to deal with and i really do not like airing this publicly but i need help pretty badly. anything helps. please.

I know how hard financial shit is. I hope I can help at least a little bit, you're an awesome person and a great artist, it's a shame more people aren't commissioning now
Personally Im a little broke myself or I'd help out. If something changes, I'll donste/commission.
Good luck! Hopefully things work out
Are you ok with doing semi-artistic freedom things? I.E. giving you a character and a direction to go and letting you have fun from there, or would you prefer a concrete idea up front?
