Mission: Tuition - PART 1
15 years ago
General
Hey folks, I am on a mission. I'm currently employed, and the job pays well, but I'm getting called in far far less than I was expecting. This is bad news for me. It means that it will be very difficult to raise the $2,500 required to put me through my final year of school. I would rather not have to borrow or take out a student loan to pay for everything, although that option is open to me currently so it's not a huge emergency. I also stand to be employed during the school year, which means I can defer a little less than half of my payment until January. I'm also currently looking for part time work on weekends, but that's hard to come by, and at minimum wage, I'm unlikely to make my goal anyway. The fact of the matter is that I need to raise at least $1,500 by September, in addition to any current cost of living. Yikes!
In light of this, I'm interested in pursuing alternate means of income to supplement my actual job.
* First off, a reminder: I'm selling a prosthetic I designed through the nice guys over at Northfur FX. It's the Cartoon Face (as seen at AC 2010!) and if you purchase it, not only do you help to support some friends and fellow furs in their awesome business, but I get a small cut as well. They're tops. Go do that.
* Secondly, I have the moulds for this Devil Mask which I'm selling runs of for $150, which is a bargain considering they are all hand cast and painted by yours truly. They are slip cast latex and very detailed, and can come in any colors you want. If you'd like to purchase one, please send me a note with your color scheme, and I'll note you back with my paypal. Order now before the Halloween crunch arrives!
* Thirdly, I am going to be taking a variety of commissions all this month and the next. This includes COLOR SKETCH COMMISSIONS, more BOOK COVERS, and maybe even a few of those awesome FULL COLOR, NICELY SHADED commission pics you all love. I will post journals with slots as Mission: Tuition goes on.
* I may also make some hand-stenciled t-shirts, if anyone is interested. If not, I am not going to do this!
* The big project, however, is that I am moving forward with fursuit building. I am going to build a partial version of the fursuit from You Are A Fursuit and auction it off. It will include a head, handpaws, sleeves, a tail, and footpaws. Stay tuned for updates on this.
* I am now on Inkbunny, selling prints! First up is You Are A Fursuit. It's available up to poster size! If you can think of any other images you'd like as a print, let me know! Sadly, they can't have humans in them, so that's a factor.
Anyway, this is all to say that I'm casting as wide a net as I can, and I'm hoping that y'all can help me take a huge chunk out of my potential debt, which would be SO SWELL you have no idea.

If I can get some cash, I'd totally buy a book cover commission! But then I'd have to do commissions, when I could just cut out the middle man and ask people to commission you. Plus, I'm lazy and busy! Decisions, decisions. Although I do have some cash headed my way as soon as I finish a thing... I shall finish that thing and then buy a book cover the next time you offer them!

Hey Swatcher, Still want to finish that commission for me from a long time ago? I still have $100 with your name on it. Drop me a line.

Hey, I know you're looking for art-related work, but how are you at writing? Like, simple, 500 word internet-content articles? I'm part of a large writing studio that pays pretty decent, my bf and I are able to work full time at it from home and make a good living wage. :) I'll note you with the details if you're interested. Hope that helps.

Commissioning you (again) would be a dream. I just hope the content I'd come up with would be appropriate!
