The State of Affairs - Streams, Donation Goals, Etc.
7 years ago
General
Short version: Donation goal is up. Looking for ideas for donation rewards. Adding Twitch and Picarto links to my page.
So, things have been a bit... well, better, I'd say, as of late. I'm doing more art and I'm streaming art and games. I'm glad for that. I consistently want to draw and Pokemon Uranium's had me hooked, so I was streaming every day for a while there, but it's been over half a week since I did that due to circumstances.
Speaking of circumstances - I never told anyone, but I did set up donation goals on my Ko-Fi and Streamlabs a while back. I'm looking to save $60 to cover the registration fee for the local furry con, Furry Weekend Atlanta. That said, if I reach that, I'll add more goals. The con in total will probably run me around $200 for registration and expenses, and it starts on May 9th. On top of that, I still haven't saved up and bought a PS4, and with KHIII out - which I'm trying very hard to avoid spoilers for - there's now at least four games I want for it, and probably more I'm forgetting. T'get a PS4 and KHIII will run me $360. So that's $560 I'm looking to save over the next few months.
I've never really saved money before - at least, not without an allowance to bank on. I don't have a job and getting one is both stressful and risky for me. And I'm not sure what I can do to incentivize donations - I was looking to start commissions again, but when I sat down to finish an old one, even having been planning on doing so, I locked up again. I don't really have the time to try that again until V-Day's come and gone, and while I'm still willing to give it a shot time and time again, I'm just hoping this pattern of freezing any time I do work I'm "supposed" to do will break sooner or later. I used to offer doodles for donations, but my procrastinative tendencies got in the way. I could probably try that again, or some kind of reward for hitting small goals - like, every $20 or so. I'm open to suggestions.
Just to be clear, nobody's obligated to give me money. I appreciate it if you do, but I'm not telling anyone they have to.
Now, let's get on the positive side of things! You guys like streams, right? I'm quite a streamer myself, I just don't like going to the effort of updating my fA to alert folks. But streaming is my favorite thing to do and when I'm hooked on a game or really into my art I'll stream on the daily. I think my banter on Twitch is pretty funny and consistent, and on Picarto I usually play tunes while I draw. I'll see if I can make it easier to alert people about my streams, but in the meantime, I'll add my Picarto and Twitch (where I'm currently doing Pokemon Uranium!) to my page, and link them here - consider giving me a follow if y'wanna keep up with when I'm live! I also have VoDs enabled on Twitch and have been planning to start a YouTube channel to host my old recordings.

Well, that's all for now.
...Keep smiling, okay? I know it's hard, and it's okay to cry sometimes, but we're all doing the best we can, and that's something to be proud of. You guys make me smile a lot.
