Your art is so pretty! Bumping this ^^
‼️‼️ URGENT UPDATE‼️‼️ (5/1/24) 2:17am : Putting this at the top to hopefully get some help for my family and I. Recently we've been having a lot of trouble keeping up with paying for the room. Work has been very slow as of recently and trying to make ends meet is getting harder to the point where we're unable to pay for more than two days at a time, which we can't do since on the third day we're likely to be kicked out. We have nowhere to go if that happens.
We need 140$ to cover the fees of the last few missed days and if we can't pay later tonight, I'm not sure what we can do. Any kind of help we could get, including bumps or shares, would really mean alot. Thank you so much :")
Hi, my name is Link and my family and I (father and younger sibling) have been homeless for two years and a half now (since November 2021). It's a long story but in short, my father fell into a diabetic coma and lost his job, leaving him without a home since he mainly lived in his truck. My sibling and I were also being forced to leave our homes, so it was a very sad coincidence 🥲 my friend, who's home I had to leave due to family issues, drove us to the nearest motel and I've been doing commissions to support us ever since. Here's a couple pics of the room/a recent receipt we usually get when we pay for the room for proof since I know it's a lot to just go off of word :
We're living day by day with the commissions I and my sibling receive and recently, work has been very scarce. Most days, like today, we're staying up all night and afternoon to pay for our room that we're trying to stay in and we barely have any food for the week. I'm hoping to get enough to pay for at least today and something to eat for tonight.
We don't have any family support (each side of the family has refused to help) and no friend support from any of us, so we've been doing things ourselves from the start. We'd really appreciate any kind of help we could get, especially with the way things are going right now. I'll be putting my prices and contact info below if anyone is interested. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for sharing this or any help you give us if we do, it really means a lot to us.
My turnaround time per commission is up to two to four weeks for smaller commissions and up to a month or two for bigger commissions (such as group comms, couples comms or paintings) since I'm usually busy with starting/finishing other commissions because I have to take on a lot at once to maintain our living situation. If you ever need an immediate update aside from my normal updates between stages, please let me know! As for payment, it will be made upfront with no refunds since we need to use them right away either for the room or food and don't have the extra funds to repay in case someone would want a fund.

super excited to see the art piece i've commissioned! if you're looking for an artist with amazing communication, it's here <3
Wishing you, and your family the best, and hope things get better * gives a big warm hug *
I'll try to see about getting some money together, and try to at least get 1 half body if I can or maybe a fullbody if I can save enough
I'll try to bump maybe once per page so hopefully more people see this besides the 30 minute one while I'm awake or can be active ( ill wait till you post lowers then do the 30 minute bump )
BleedingHurtWolf Thank you!! *hugs back* I really appreciate your kindness and for doing what you can to help us out, it really means a lot! :")
No problem we got to stick together <3 <3 <3 yay hugs <3 <3 <3 I send tons of love your way to you, and your family <3 <3 <3
I'm gonna try to join in on with Princess-TF-ofAzurel in trying to grab attention for your commissions ( I'm sorry about the ping if you don't want it =>_<= ) If someone donates $5 to you or commissions you I will try to do some gift art as a thank you to them for helping you, and your family <3 <3 <3 ( I'm not sure how many I can do since my life can get busy a lot but I will do the most I can to help <3 <3 <3 ) I been homeless on, and off one time my house burnt down, and another was when the pipes froze, and busted, and became unlivable ( mold, and falling through the floor ), and have no where to go, and being able to have enough to get by. I hate that you, and your family are having to go through this, and so much more, and you can come to me anytime you need to talk or anything.
Maybe I can also offer a custom / raffle thingy ( since I think a custom would hit more since people can pick a theme / type of creature ) to those who donate or commission at least a headshot or higher or donate $25, and do the drawing at the end of the year maybe type of thing this way they can pick from some of the paid bases I got or maybe I do a traditionally drawing for humanish options and for some creatures on the paid bases. What do you think on this one? It just came to me Also maybe the higher the amount you receive the more tickets in the raffle?
That-RepliQueen-Kyo I don't really have a system for them since I have to take on a good bit of comms per month to support us, but I wouldn't mind saving a slot for you at all ! :)
