#appreciate any kind of support !

[gotchibam]

I'm sorry for asking help once again but I've been finding it hard to keep up w/ my expenses lately and it's taking a toll on me. I can't accept new commissions rn since I'm still going through my backlog so I don't have any source of income atm.

If you'd like to help out, I still have a couple of adoptables and a couple of pokemon doodle compilations in my ko-fi shop for sale. If those are too much, you can also just leave tips on my ko-fi page!

After losing my mom last March, things have been way more difficult for me so I couldn't finish the work I've accumulated right away. I'm very thankful tho bc everyone's been kind & patient w/ me so far ;; Thank you sm for the support even thru the difficult times, I really appreciate it ;_; 🙏🙏🙏

I have to ask what drew vasco into falling in love with machete?

His snivelling runt ways were just that irresistable.

My Commissions are open again because I am trying to move out and don't currently have a job

I also have a Kofi, if you'd like to donate but right now I need to save up some more money if I even hope to leave this house. I do want to mention that I finish sketch commissions a lot faster than any of the other types of commissions.

Here is the link to my prices

and some samples of my work below the cut.

Regarding ST's merch, I think it's really obvious quality wise what merch the boys had a direct hand in and what merch is just RCA slapping ST's name and logo on something because they know it'll sell. The figurine and the constant HT/Spencer's drops scream RCA just trying to make a buck.

I think the big thing we can do as fans, or in this case consumers, is just be really picky about what merch we actually buy. Let sales numbers and the market talk for us ig (ew capitalism, but unfortunately that's how this works)

Things like the graphic novel? Hell yeah, support the shit out of that! We're out here Obtaining new, original stories made in collaboration with the band themselves, AND supporting art that aligns with the band's previously-curated brand image. Throw your money at that or hype it up online, since that's what we REALLY want to see from them. (even if it's too $$$ for many people. But, I get the sense that they wouldn't mind the pdf being shared with other fans lol. You can't tell me those nerds haven't read pirated manga/comics/books online before)

The low quality, soulless Licensed Products keep on coming because there's apparently a market for them. People will buy it just because it's ST, not because it's actually worth the money. As if it'll bring any value to their experience with the band. How many fans actually want a fuckin lava lamp, or any assortment of the hot topic merch that's just Vessel's face cheaply screenprinted on the front?

I think there's a lot of hype and market potential for their brand and likeness right now, and—for a corporate entity—it makes sense to flood the market like fucking Atlantic with whatever merch will sell. Voting with your wallet really does help. Not buying into the obvious cash-grab merch produces data that tells marketers that we're tired of it. It produces trend reports which indicate their current merch practices are becoming unprofitable to continue (oh, the horrors!)

Idk like I said last night, there seems to be a big disconnect between the band's history of being very selective with aesthetics/design, and whatever is going on right now. Personally, I'd much rather wallow in despair over sleeping through a relatively rare merch drop during European daylight hours. Because then at least the drop feels worth it, and fans who were able to buy merch will have a better, higher quality experience that actually aligns with their brand. Literally anything other than what we're seeing from them right now.

Sorry I just woke up not too long ago, so this might not read very clearly. I want to see my boys succeed and make a living off their art as much as anyone else, but surely there's a better way to support them.

Hunter Pin Update!

EDIT: please read my new update pinned on my profile!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to pop in and say that I am actively looking into manufacturing my Hunter pin designs! I was so surprised at all of the engagement, and I want to work as hard as I can to make them real.

The issue for me is, I have nowhere near enough money! Pins require a lot of work and resources, including access to mailers, a good manufacturer, and pantone color books to best ensure accuracy. I want to purchase the latter so I can continue to use it in the future as well.

This can all add up REALLY, REALLY FAST though. And as someone with no selling experience, I am taking a lot of time to research so no one is disappointed or nothing goes wrong.

So, to acquire the funds to open my own, PERSONAL shop, I am offering donations to my Ko-fi and selling my Hexsquad sticker designs on RB! My Ko-fi Commissions will also be opening this week.

Being a full time college student with only a part time income (and pets and myself to feed), money is always short. So any support and shares will be 100% valued and appreciated!

NOTE: RB has not uploaded my designs yet, but they should hopefully be up at some point today. Please follow me there if you are interested in purchasing them or any other designs I may upload!

My genuine reaction

My genuine reaction when I put my sweat tears blood piss and shit into a drawing just for it to get no attention (yet the shitty art gets hundreds of notes🩷)

~ Chapter 1: Galacta Knight’s Arrival to Popstar pages 26-34✨💫

~ >PREVIOUS PAGE✨ ~ <NEXT CHAPTER💫 here are the last pages of Chapter 1 :D✨I had so much fun with the backgrounds in this and the shading as well. <3💜💫Meta Knight explains to Galacta about why he keeps his wings hidden, and asks if he can hold one of Galacta’s heart spears his response was NO!💢xD he asks how they work with Kirby but he acts like he doesn’t know a thing cuz he doesn’t want Meta interested into those.. Oh and my past design of Falspar he has green eyes because he’s wearing a different mask and wears sharper metal gloves. Chapter 2 pages will be uploaded sometime later this month, I’m gonna work on some other art and some anniversary art for a friend of mine <3💙and I’m still in the progress of writing Chapter 3 (writing of 2 is done though) I’ve just got some writers block ;w; anyways I hope y’all like this ^^💖💕

I've been doing some test streams this past few weeks and I think I want to try it for real this time! Nothing fancy, just a simple art stream & some lo-fi music 🎶

I might be able to host one later (maybe a couple hrs from now?) so just look out for the post if you want to join! Also made a twitch & youtube channel for hosting & archiving future art streams so you can also follow me there if you'd like to get updated 😌

The past two years, despite their ups and downs, have given me a good opportunity to improve my art. This piece is, in some ways, a culmination of what I’ve learned so far. 

I’m slowly moving away from black lineart, or just lineart in general. I find that it looks much better that way. Happy to see that my backgrounds are improving as well  :)

Now just gotta work on improving my human anatomy skills--

Here’s a close-up shot with more details!

as much as this past toronto trip was incredible and i'm so grateful to have experienced it i'm also probably gonna need like at least a week to fully recover from it bc jfc. like last trip resulted in a dopamine-crash that made me spend most of my free time taking naps and even tho that trip was amazing it doesn't even come close to the incredible high points this KITH-weekend had. plus this time i had to come back to a major holiday the day after i got back to the US and i was unable to find time to take my antidepressant today bc i didn't have time to unpack

which like fine i'm gonna let myself rest before i make myself write an in-depth recap. but also pairing this exhaustion with the extreme ambition this weekend instilled in me (seriously, nothing makes you feel like your comedy can change the world more than getting high while watching the SNL movie with scott thompson and having him hype up every weird aspiration you vocalize lmao) means there's so much i wanna do right away but my brain just can't yet. so that's where i'm at!!
