Patreon! [Chances for FREE ART!]
11 years ago
http://www.patreon.com/isto
I just set up a Patreon account. I'm hoping it will help ease my stress and let me work on things without constantly worrying about when the next time I'll be able to afford things is.
If I can manage to even get a couple of patrons, I think it'll help me to just push through everything, and be able to offer free art like I'd love to do. It makes me sad to know that so many people like my art, but can't afford to get any. I wish I didn't have to charge for everything, but I'm always struggling to make ends meet.
Of course no one HAS to sign up, but there are some nice "prizes" you can get for helping me out.
If you want to know exactly what my situation is, read on!
I'm beginning to develop anxiety issues dealing with people. I've always been a pretty sociable person, I love(d) going to crowded places, being surrounded by people, and just making new friends. Recently, I've started to have a lot of issues dealing with people in general, and I don't leave the house much at all. It really affects my day to day life, and keeps me tied down in a sense. I can see the changes, and it just makes me spiral into a horrible depression, which keeps me from working on art, and is starting to manifest physically. I've been ill a lot lately, and I sleep constantly. It takes a lot for me to feel like getting out of bed, and when I do I just go to the couch and sit. I don't even cook often anymore, and it used to be one of my favorite activities. It helped me decompress, and just feel better about myself, but now I just get anxious and worried when I think about cooking. It's more like a chore than a hobby, and I hate it. Which, of course, makes me hate myself. It really doesn't help that the financial situation I'm in doesn't allow me to leave the house except for things like groceries and doctor's appointments. My car needs a new batter, tags, and insurance. Right now it's basically a pile of metal sitting in my driveway. I'd like to look into therapy, and try to work on my issues, but I've got to get things sorted before I can even try.
Sorry for the pity party, but I feel like you guys deserve to know why I'm having so many issues and delays and such.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read, and thank you in advance to anyone who wants to help me out!
