One More Emergency Commissions Journal... Need To Pay Rent.

I really didn't see myself being unemployed for this long, but...
I am.
There are a few different reasons I guess. Some of them are valid and out of my control, while some I feel I could have avoided if I went about things differently. But I didn't, and here I am.
I shouldn't say I'm "unemployed", because I do have a part time gig (other than commissions) that I make about $200 a week on, plus I got a random personal run from an old cab customer that paid me $140. That helped pay some bills like phone, power, student loan (ugh... had no choice). But once the end of the month came around, it wasn't enough.
I still have a "main job" I'm shooting for, a full time job that would have solved this problem. And it's that job that I was hoping I'd be closer to having by now. I put off getting another random crappy part time job in part because I had my sights set on that one job in particular and I didn't want to have to get a brand new job I was just going to quit in 2 weeks. But unfortunately, things kept getting in the way of my goal.
Basically, I put all my eggs in one basket and stayed dormant too long, and now I'm in a bind. That was my mistake. But it's too late to change that.
I do have a part-time job lined up, which I should have as soon as Tuesday. I may also go for another part-time job to go with it, which would make 3 total (which will put a damper on my art time, but gotta sacrifice something). But that isn't going to help me much right away. :(
Now I have rent to pay, and while I had believed I was going to get some help from a friend on that regard, I didn't. Guess I assume too much.
So I'm putting it out there one more time, I'm open for "emergency commissions."
Once again, here are my prices. Feel free to discuss your idea with me if it varies from what's listed here.
NSFW/Adult work is extra. How much extra varies. Maybe $5 extra for sketch, $20 extra for full render. More than one character, same applies, as well as extra character costs (around half of the cost for 1 char for each additional). Some things may be custom price or case by case. Ask me if you have any questions!
Sketch: $10 (waist up), $15 (full body) - Example 1, Example 2, Example 3
Ink: $20 (waist up), $25 (full body) - Example 1, Example 2
Flat Color: $30 (waist up), $35 (full body) +$5 basic background (more complex, ask) - Example 1, Example 2, Example 3
Cell Shade: $40 (waist up), $45 (full body) +$5 basic background (more complex, ask) - Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4
Fully Rendered: $50 (waist up), $60 (full body) +$10 basic background, (more complex, ask) Example 1, Example 2, Example 3
Colored Headshot Icons (w/ shading) $15 - Example 1, Example 2, Example 3
Animated Flail Icon: $15 static, $20 animated Example 1, Example 2, Example 3
Rectangular Badges $25 - Example 1, Example 2
Shaped Badges $35 - (waist up shot with name)
Full Body Badges $45 (full body, shaped badge with name)
Yearbook Photo: $25 (Example 1, Example 2... color and b/w. Some props extra)
And of course you can always support me on Patreon (which I'm happy to say I've gotten a couple more patrons recently!) However, that still won't pay out until next month, and I need help right now.
I have been making progress on commissions, if you've noticed. I'm not the fastest, but I've been putting work in. So to those who commissioned me a month ago (THANK YOU!), and even earlier than that (again, THANK YOU), your commission WILL get done. Just the fact I'm getting more support on Patreon means I can't put those off. I've even updated my Productivity Revolution board.
I'm getting there. I'm just slow.
Once I get my job situation ironed out and money becomes less of a problem (I can dream...) I won't be taking commissions for a while.
But for right now, I need all the help I can get.
So please, if you would like to help, I'd appreciate it. I just need to get past this one last big hump, and then hopefully I'll be ok.
Note me if you're interested in a commission, or you can donate through PayPal to jtigerclaw[at]gmail.com (though I'm gonna want to do something nice for you anyway).
Thanks everyone for your support and your positive thoughts.

I wish I could afford to help out some.
