Hey, folks! I've emerged from the black hole that I now apparently reside in to pass the word along for an artist friend of mine,  xBlueAshesx She could really use some financial support right now. I'm going to quote her journal directly, because she explains the situation pretty well, and why it really sucks.

"Because of FA guidelines I won't go into detail or name names, but to explain the situation... Last night I received a chargeback for $320 USD, that's nearly $400+ CAD. This customer ordered three comic pages, three of which had been sketched out, and one lined waiting to be colored. I put multiple hours of work into these pages, not to mention the time finding references for the obscure commission, all for nothing. Anyways. That's just a little of me venting, but also explaining why I need dire help. My account is $400+ in the negative, which I need to make back because we all know PayPal doesn't side with artists no matter what proof is given. Then, I need $900 more to cover my rent and internet. I need to make $1,300 within FIVE DAYS. Commissions are open with a 'buy any two pieces and get a free single character illustration' deal along with it. Prices can be found here: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10583468/ "

I've personally gotten a ton of art from Blue as of late, most if not all of which I will begin reposting on my userpage, once I get the artist's permission. She's a wonderful person, and she is one of the most kind and patient artists I know. And for all of you who frequent my page because of my piss-related commissions or stories, yes, she does draw watersports. And she draws things besides canines as well, despite what her gallery might indicate. Her prices are very reasonable, and her style is super cute! I legitimately love her art so much. I'm painfully aware that times are thin for everybody and every penny counts, but nobody deserves to be blindsided like that. If even just one of you sends her support or takes out a commission, it will make her day. I know, because every piece of art I've gotten from Blue helps her live. I do not say this lightly, but... if you can, please help her out. She works her ass off to make ends meet, and it'd break my heart to see her go under.
