Smokey Joe comic dub. auction CANCELED

Data entrance
I regret to inform you all that due to lack of interest of nobody participating in the auction, that also gives me stress that I have to check 24/ 7 if anyone made a bid that I have to unfortunately cancel my last dub for 2025 for the sake of my mental health. With my goals for the auction was to raise to pay the replacement artist $1,100 to pay for the next dub. And I’m thankful my friends from Jay animations will voice the characters for free.
I could find a cheaper artist that can finished up Smokey Joe for a lower cost, but it just won’t fit the style I was looking for compared to the well-made previous dub of “Stephen and Koslov”. That and crowd funding don't usually work out that much since I have I tight deadline. That and I set the auction at a bad place in a bad time as many people are going to cons, holiday shopping, traveling, utilities ect. Leading me to not promote the auction well or why people should bid. Thus, auction was dead the water from the start. Like trying to sell a Sega Dreamcast where most people are buying Sony PlayStation 2's .
That and again it was giving me tons of stress. Up to the point that I can’t even eat properly. And even harming myself as pinching myself on my hand very badly. And it’s gonna be a while to get a therapist, or even a pastor to help me mentally. Thank goodness now I'm taking mental health days to recover. Thus, starting audio commissions (and secret menu art/logo commissions) and even ride sharing to keep me motivated to gain income.
So, I'm taking down the auction form X and Bluesky. Maybe I can try for next year's Halloween or something. But it’s going to be a while before I have the mental energy to keep it together. Thus, future main dubs and animations on my YT will be in hiatus for a while. Till then I will be uploading shorts I did in the past for the time being on the weekend. Or even a comic dub commission when they come. I’m sorry if people are looking forward to it, and I’m thankful for the luck and support people given me in spreading the word, however since nobody bid I have to cancel it due to again my mental health.
Also, I’m redirecting my finances as to be financially being free from my parents. As I’m on the road to be financially independent. I won’t tell you how much income I currently have, but close it get my own savings and checking with local bank. As my previous spending on my previous comic dubs and even an animatic and various art commissions really financially hurt me that I have to be under the wing of my parents just to keep me afloat. So, I need to take it easy as not buying expensive commissions
All to show people enjoyed me, the characters I made, Pred.au and that I can be fun, or at lease existed after my take down of “Bakers Journey”. And I’m glad nobody got harassed of saying “bring the video back” ect. But today, I’m just feeling better and glad people liked my audio work and content other than being remembered in the fandom as a one trick pony doing Kygens comic dubs.
Thanks for reading this journal and to Broco/Roddo who makes such wonderful work that you should watch their stuff!
Till then, thanks for understanding, and happy holidays and love you all!

And yeah it is the holidays and MFF happening right now so most people are being careful with their funds for those big events, myself included.
I wish you the best of luck for future projects and I hope this break helps your mental health. 💙
