Dont give up on making things that make you happy! (sorry for talking so much but i just wanted to extend a hand and say something!!! )

even though i have a high amount of followers on Instagram, which is why they approached me I'm sure... sometimes i get embarassed about failing but one thing i try to do is ..find little ways to make the things i put love into even if its smaller scale ( like ... teeny tiny for myself small)

and honestly.. like i think what it comes down to with doing kickstarters or any kinda crowdfunding thing is both a mix of numbers and promoting/sharing... I got approuched to do a crowdfunding thing once for a project i really wanted to do, but im horrible at advertising/promoting my own work even-

Honestly, I think you should try despite your follower number! Or if theres a way to figure out a way to manufactor a small amount that wont hurt you financially just to make something that you'll love to see.

PSA post with a frustrated Roya in the corner presenting it: Text Saying: "Long story short: My current job (and therefor pay) has been very inconsistent. The job market has NOT been kind to me, if you cant tell.... and I need to both pay off these bills/payments and say afloat while I'm finding better work. Appreciate everyone getting my Ko-Fi Goal to 21% but we're still a ways to go. Any help is greatly appreciated!" Images show a screenshot a total balance of $1,292.77. Another screenshot of a Ko-fi titled Keep me steady while finding work at 21% of $2500

In Need Of Help Right Now!!!

Yet again my current job has been inconsistent in both hours and pay and I really need to take care of these bills/payments and stay afloat while I'm looking for something else. Any help is greatly appreciated

I love that you’ve been drawing the characters from beautiful darkness !!! It’s such a beautiful book!! ( though the part where one of the characters tries to get fed by the mama bird has haunted me for years lol )

Been doing some hand painted clay charms …. So many trials and errors but now that I know what I’m doing ( kind of ) I’m really happy with it how they look !!

You know what this made me think of how when we were literal babies how our ocs had their own little show thing we’d joke about all the time …I think this has been in ur head all along and now you have an outlet to realize ur vision

I invested in a printer so I can make stickers at home and …. Doing the laminate was hard shdkdhdj and I have to hand cut but !!!!! A cat !!

My fellow Guild members have been working on this as a means to encourage animation development in the heart of the American film industry.
The field has been struggling to maintain and, speaking from experience, part of why is the monetary breaks businesses get elsewhere.
