Important Update - Money & Raffle
10 years ago
General
Okay guys, gals, girly guys n guyly gals
I've hit the biggest bump I think I've ever come across as an adult n holy crap, I hate adultin'.
Same of you may or may not have noticed that I've removed my previous Hump Day journal; this is for 2 reasons.
The first bein' that, bein' sleep deprived n financially (N emotionally) stressed, got rather peeved at seein' people enter Herm characters in to the raffle after clearly statin' it was a male & female raffle only - herms will have their chance.
The second reason is I just got the bill to my car that I got fixed several weeks back n damnit that was too many numbers before the decimal.
The idea behind the raffle was to increase my output (Or help increase) in art so that I may take on commissions n YCH's in order to pump several out at once, thus a larger cash flow.
Always seems easier in my mind.
I want to continue the raffle n I may just do that - but I am also seriously goni' to have to consider taken on commissions n puttin' up YCH's as well because I am at prostitutional-levels of desperation.
If there are any artists out there, particularly ones that make a livin' off of their art or there-of, I would greatly appreciate any help with words of wisdom as to how you do it n how you pace yourselves.
This is somethin' I think I seriously need to do - if I'm not bein' called in to work then I need to be at home gettin' art done.
I appreciate everyone's understandin' in the matter
N if you're not understandin', well then http://dicksbymail.com/?gclid=CL6Ls.....FYeCvQodeNEE0A nom

Anyways, even though I am not directly affected by you cancelling the raffle, I still understand that there are more important things, so really, it's fine. It was free art after all, so really I don't think that's too big a deal. Also, all my sympathy for those adult problems. I hate adult problems... being an adult sucks!
Sadly, I can't really offer any advice on professional arting about for money. I watch some people who are making money off their art, but it'd be a stretch to claim that I really know any of those people well. Maybe Patreon would be an option, but that generally requires quite the big following to be worthwile and also can be of questionable ethicality depending on how it is used. Anyways, I wish you good luck with all of this. Financial problems do suck major furballs and are never fun to deal with.
Bein' an adult sucks extremely hard - but that's half the fun sometimes too.
I would love to do a Patreon one day but you're right that calls for a MUCH larger callin' n for my skills to increase substantially, but perhaps that day will come ^^
