Help Please! Commissions! Art for Doodles! Drive to Immediately Stabilize!

So I have a little under 80 days as of this writing to make about $8,000.00 - $10,000 USD

I have been struggling without work. Unpayed bills from the past few months have piled up. I've lost so much already, and I'm at risk of losing even more. On top of that, I need to move halfway across the country by the end of October, since the family I'm staying with is moving out of the country. I can't really follow them with my financial situation.

This escalation happened about a week after I had finally reached a point where I'm able to complete commissions and take in new ones. So now I have additional plans and schedules and stuff that need to be done... Additional money needs to be made, and fast, before I can settle into a more sensible work flow.

So... I'm doing everything. EVERYTHING! Whatever I can do! It's crunch time x1000!

The Quick Summary:

I have a Carrd now! There, you can find links to all my socials, Patreon, Ko-fi, GoFundMe, the form for requesting Commissions or Doodles-For-Donations and Monthly Patreon Doodles, and more! Check it out: https://juni-p.carrd.co/

My Patreon has been updated and makes sense finally! Monthly Doodles can be requested from the form at the bottom of the Commissions page on my Carrd for each monthly Patreon contribution!

You can request Doodles-For-Donations on that same form if you're donated anywhere! Ko-fi, Patreon, wherever! Check out the bottom of the Commissions page on my Carrd for info and a link to the form!

Commissions are open for requests right now! I'll start taking new ones very soon, so get your requests in! Look for the form link on the bottom of my Carrd's Commissions page!

My GoFundMe is still available, and has been updated with info about the move and such. You can read that for more info about it all and donate if you're feeling generous <3 (Also, this still counts for Doodles-for-Donations, too, if you want!)

Soon I'll have a store! With stickers and stuff! Maybe even shirts! I'll send out notifications when there's merch and stuff up, and the links will be up on my Carrd too!

Lots more specifics below, so keep reading! And thank you in advance for any help!

MILESTONES:

I have an income tracker on the Carrd, under News. When I hit a milestone, I'll be doing something special! ...though I haven't figured out what the special thing is just yet! Pls let me know if you have ideas. I wanna make it nice b/c TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYthankyou~

PATREON INCENTIVES!

All Patreon backers now get a Doodle per month! Details and request form are on the Carrd! It's the same form as Commissions, so just make sure you pick the "Patreon" option, okay? I'm still thinking of what other incentives I can put on there. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! I really appreciate y'all so much~

KOFI and Donation Doodles!

Like the Patreon doodles, but for one-time donations and things like that I'll be doing these whenever I'm on stream, too, so come say hi! Same request form! It's all on the Carrd!

Commission Requests are open!

I'll be taking new ones soon, once I get more of my backlog done, so if you want a commission, get your requests in! Pricing and details all on the Carrd! I'm working hard <3 <3

Also I'm doing Animations now, too! And YCH stuff soon! I'm excited about it!!! :D :D :D Pic related to both <3 (Thank you X!!!)

GoFundMe

My GoFundMe's been updated to explain my situation some, and to help give me some relief from the amount of work I now have to do in such a short time. Shares, reblogs, etc, are just as appreciated as the donations. Thank you <3

I'm also opening a RedBubble with stickers and prints and stuff!

I don't know what to put there yet, but I already have the storefront and such. More to come soon, of course <3 It's empty at the time of posting, but there'll be stuff there soon!

Finishing commissions comes first, of course~

If you read all of that, TY

I am going through the climax of this whole ordeal I've been in for the past few years and/or most of my life Honestly, the uncertainty hitting such a high is scary, but I'm gonna do my best ( TuT)9 My DMs on Discord are always open if you have any thoughts or questions, okay? TY, everyone, for sticking with me through it all <3

[juniper-pines]

Posting again because this is still a thing

I'm still far behind in my bills, and I'm doing my best to cover everything, but I'm just not making the ends meet yet

I have some options, and I'm still working on them, but... if anyone can help, just any relief from this situation is monumentally appreciated

Things will turn around, I know it. I just have to hold on and keep working until it happens. Please, if you can, help me hold on for a little while longer ;u; <3

A Plea...

My GoFundMe, pls consider donating, it means the world to me

I'm still having a ton of financial trouble. It's making it so difficult to get anything done, including my comm backlog... My job doesn't have any work for me atm so I haven't been able to pay bills again, and I'm postponing doctor's appointments, and am almost at the point where I'll be going without medicine for a while if I can't pay for it :C

Please consider my Gofundme. It's absolutely the most helpful, as it lets me continue doing other work. My absolute thanks for anything that goes here. Really, and truly, you're saving a life.

Sometime during the next few days I'll be doing a *lot* of art streaming. I haven't done it consistently in over a year, but I think it's about time to just start doing it again.

I'll be streaming on Twitch, completing my commission backlog while doing on-the-spot doodle commissions for $5 and up (donations and tips greatly appreciated).

3. I'll be reopening commissions once I get about 80% of my current backlog finished. I'll try to have a nice form and all together for it by then.

Thank you all, again, for all the support. You're really helping save a life. I can't stress enough how much you've helped me out this past year. Thank you, as always ;u;

Welcome everyone exodusing from Twitter!

there is no pristine nature there is no permanent natural equilibrium evolution is not a single path, and the changes are not always positive

nature does not survive by it’s own virtue

we can be the caretakers of this world and preserve it for future generations of all kinds of Earth life, if we would just learn to do so

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

this is actually extremely effective, like you’d honestly be surprised at how effective this is

emotional regulation is a problem for trauma survivors, but a little bit of praise can go a long way

even if it seems like I didn’t respond favorably to it, those words stick with me

and maybe one day with enough of those words, i can crowd out all of the words I use for myself ;u;

It’s already happening, in fact. Never underestimate the power of random kindness to people. You might be saving a life

Depression is such an effective tranquilizer that it creates a great opportunity for plot twists in your real life. I have a pretty consistent opinion of myself which is "low" and "never ending guilt and shame for reasons I don't understand."

Recently received feedback from two different editing clients that started with "Please pass along to Jacquelynn that she is phenomenal at her job" and "I was blown away by the evaluation I received."

You always hear about how depression (and anxiety) lies to you and distorts reality, but there is logically knowing that and then there is like, physical proof of it and you are suddenly Neo in the Matrix jumping out of the fucked up little tube machine.

2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)

3. What ideas come from when you were little

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

12. Easiest part of body to draw

16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing

17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what

18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

[juniper-pines]

*cries* wow everyone really is finally coming back here aren't they

hi everyone I'm so happy ;u; it feels like coming home

baffling, incomprehensible, burning with a flame that my brain refuses to understand fully home

...wow wow wow but it's so much better than birdsoundhell

btw I'm probably changing my name again but I think it'll be the last time this time

[juniper-pines]

Heya everyone!

I’m finally done some things and I’m coming back to social media stuff

I’m also posting this around now... b/c I’m fully aware now that no matter how many hiatuses or extra effort moments I do I’m just not going to be able to get on top of this situation without help

(CW: the plea involves me discussing a lot of my history, and there’s some abuse in there, so be warned)

A friend suggested I try the GoFundMe thing, so...

It took a minute to make; doing something like this is super not something I’m used to, but hopefully, maybe, it’ll do something?

Likes, sharing, anything helps and is super amazingly appreciated ;u;

Art will resume shortly as well <3

[juniper-pines]

So... the truth is I miiiight be almost at Ultra rank in Pokemon Unite

I did not expect to even like this game at all, and here I am xux I could probably keep going to Masters if I found a team and such

It’s weird right? It feels weird
