Thank You Followers & Watchers...
13 years ago
... and by that I mean "Thank You For Nothing!"
A month ago, I was pennyless. My PC had exploded on me and I spent my last amount of cash on a new PC part, leaving me with no money to get to my christmas temp work, no money for presents for my family and it made me miserable. I decided to offer all visitors and watchers alike something cheap to at least give me funds for at least the 1st part of my no money statement, "Surely my friends and followers will not disappoint me in my time of need. I'm offering them a drawing of there internet persona or fursona with a New Year get-up to use as an avatar on anything for just £2, they will surely understand."
But no.
Not a single response, Not an inch of interest. You sat on your cash and let me wallow in depression of knowing I'll see other sad faces or worse get fired from a temp job due to no funds to get there.
Don't begin to blame "poor advertisement" It was on my profile page, posted to every social network and forum I go on. There was no excuse for you NOT to see it.
Don't begin to blame "over priced" because most of you are charging more then $10 JUST for a commissioned sketch!
Normally these "End of the Year" blogs I do are reflecting the GOOD that has happened, but sadly this has over shadowed it.
Don't get me wrong, I love the feedback I get from my own drawings. I love seeing my drawings getting favourited and sometimes a follow on the side. I would love to draw for other people, and I tried to offer so, just so long as I got something in return.
Really shows how tight your pocket goes.
