So… I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do this, but my situation’s only gotten progressively worse.
Opening some emergency discount commissions to help shore up some funds so I can afford my medications, as well as other personal affects I need.
These will basically be open indefinitely until I’m in a less dire situation, which should hopefully be sooner than later. We’ll see.
I have more detailed information and examples of these commission types on my carrd!
I do also have a Terms of Service I’d highly advise people read, as there’s important information!
if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to pm me!
I’d also be extremely grateful for reblogs on this post if at all possible
commission for someone on toyhouse. been a while since I’ve done spriting.
