I am opening up pay what you want donation sketches.
For reasons I will explain bellow, I will be opening up a sort of donation pool. For donations at and above 15 dollars I will be doing sketches for the donator depending on how much they donated. All sketches will be in pencil, more money will get you more time and therefore more detail starting first at roughs, then refined sketches, and after that toning and finally shading. Couples slots are twice the amount of normal slots, so they would start at 30. If you would like to donate without receiving sketches, you can also opt out and I'd greatly appreciate the support. If you have less than 15 dollars to give, please consider tossing what you can my way, as this is a really rough time for me.
https://www.paypal.me/Pavatti this is where you donate.
Here's the "sob story" if you're curious as to why I need these donations.
My computer broke. It has been breaking for a long time and now it is finally gone, broken for good. My computer is the only source of income I have, and I need to build up money to replace it or at least get a temporary fix that I can live with. My tablet is breaking, it's a crap tablet and it's lasted me about as long as the computer, so I'm not surprised, it's fin for now, but needs replacing when I can manage it. Both of these things combined wouldn't mean anything to me, not enough to make one of these emergency commissions posts, because I'm safe enough right now that I can survive in this limbo state.
My friends are in crisis. I have friends right now who are about to end up homeless, living in their car, a friend who is in an abusive place, who needs to get out and is struggling to even pay for their own medical bills among other friends who are struggling to stay alive and stay sane and there is nothing I can do to help them without money. I need to get myself back on the market, back in the swing of commissions and content so that I can get myself in a position to help those that are closest to me because it is taking a huge toll on my mental health watching them suffer needlessly while I am unable to do anything to even /try/ and get them out of these situations. I'm working on getting my own place and my life in order and to do that, to help them and to help myself I need a setup to crank out digital art. I /need/ to get my business moving. My family isn't wealthy enough to help me with this reasonably.
So please, /please/ any bit you can manage I would appreciate, any little bit to help me get on my feet and get my business and my life moving and help my friends in dire need I would be eternally grateful for. I give back so much to people who need it more than I do, I've given easily over 500-700 dollars to the homeless and people in similarly bad situations or in need of help just in the past 5 or 6 years that I've had any income at all and I have /never/ even made minimum wage so this has been bits and pieces difficult to give over long periods of time but even though I've had nothing to give I've given and I believe honestly and truly and wholeheartedly that even though some or many of those people probably abused my help they deserved it. I never ask for help like this, I've never asked for gifts, I never ask for discounts I never ask for donations to help along my transition but I've nearly ended up homeless and I've nearly lost everything I had and I just need now, to get my feet under me and I need help doing that because there's nothing I can offer without my art.
So please, help me get my art back.

I get paid on Friday and might have something I could toss at you. Have to peek at the bills first.
Also. Just a thought. But. How would you feel about me digitally finishing your sketches for those who donate a bit more? Collabs for cash. You could keep all the proceeds. I wouldn't mind.
I could offer linearts, flat colors, or color+shading depending on the donation amount. My time this month might be a bit short, but I'm sure i could fit in at least a couple.
Also that pun was perfect and made my day.
I'll be off and on probably or away most of the week, but i'll be back after
Whut prices do you think I should ask for each of those things? Maybe $25 for lines, $35 for flats, $45 for full shading? [Those prices being per-character] Or think I should go higher or lower?
I have been waiting for so long to make that pun. You have no idea. xD
I'll be off and on myself, as my work schedule is sporadic. So no worries. I'll catch you when I catch you.
