Edit: I mistakenly uploaded Bud with the wrong colors (I was exhausted when I posted this), sorry! It’s fixed now. RL Issues - First time here? See the original post hereI already graduated on the 7th, though it seems I’ll have to wait a while until I receive my diploma (they only gave out the diploma cases during the graduation ceremony). I’m not entirely sure how long that will take, but I’m guessing it could be quite a few months… After having graduated, the rest of my family is slowly becoming more intrusive into my personal life and decisions and/or inducing pressure in regards to the whole being jobless situation: I don’t have a job and the only way I make money is via commissions and on the rare occasion, by selling my shirt designs. Commissions have always been my main source of income, because unlike shirt designs, I get paid in full and directly (where as shirts, I only get a really small portion and have to wait for a month to get paid, assuming I even sold anything). I’m hoping that doesn’t get out of hand, but knowing how things tend to turn for the worse for me, that’ll probably be sooner than I expect. My bro and his friend are still at it, as usual. For those who haven’t read my earlier journals, these two people have been bugging me nonstop, whether it’s homophobic jokes, constantly bringing up stuff from the past, belittling me, and so on.Growth Drive is a Go!Because moving out is a pretty big choice and I’m pretty desperate as it is, I have decided to work extra hard on the growth drive this time and will be using two characters instead of one so both sides of my fans (fat and muscle) are able to participate! My first two growth drives years ago started with human and half-human characters, so this time I’m starting it out with anthros. That doesn’t mean everyone else has to miss out though, as one of the milestones will unlock a set of human characters.This time, each $1 = 2lb that will be added to both characters (ie. There’s no need to donate $10 twice if you want both characters to gain weight). There will also be options available once again, such as where most of the weight will be gained and whatnot. Each character will have their own respective options in the poll that will be available alongside each drawing.[Donate Here][Growth Drive Poll Here]Below you can see the milestones available this time:Reach $30 per week to unlock NSFW (weekly drawing only)Reach $50 per week to activate x2 multiplierReach $80 per week for a bonus drawing (initial duo only)Reach $100 during the entire fundraising period to unlock a bonus duo of human charactersReach $140 per week to activate x4 multiplier; unlocks x2 as the default for subsequent weeksReach $160 per week for a bonus drawing (bonus duo only)Reach $180 per week to unlock NSFW (bonus drawing only)*NSFW versions, when unlocked per week, will be posted separately to avoid issues with the donators who are only interested in the SFW/original drawings.There will also be a few raffles available, some of them being options I don’t currently offer as commissions:I will be using random.org to pick the winners, starting from the highest tier, so that all winners are picked accordingly. Please note that you can’t win multiple raffles!Sketch (donate $1 or more)Lineart (donate $6 or more)Lineart + Color (donate $10 or more)Bonus drawing with initial duo (donate $20 or more)Animated drawing: Idle or Pose (donate $30 or more)Bonus drawing with bonus duo (donate $40 or more)Bonus drawing with both duos (donate $60 or more)Animated drawing: Growth (donate $70 or more)*All bonus drawings will feature a single character chosen by the winner hanging out or doing stuff with the specified duo of characters.*If for some reason the winner is only interested in having a single character from the duo show up instead of both (ie. only likes chubs or muscle instead), then that’s fine. Just be sure to let me know when I contact you.*The above may also apply to the winner of the drawing that features both sets of duos in it.*My list of things I’m willing to do/don’t also applies to the raffle winners. If you can’t comply with these rules, I’ll unfortunately be forced to hand over the raffle to the runner-up.Earning ProgressSince the first post I had made in regards to my situation, I have received 5 commissions (3 being from a single person, mind you) and 0 donations. I’m not taking into account previous commissioners that were from before I made that post, since it obviously doesn’t work that way. With these commissions alone (and tips from said commissioners), I have currently earned about $111. If I count whatever I had remaining from previous commissioners, I have saved up a total of $154. As of starting these moving out savings, I will not use any of this money for anything other than the plane ticket (or shipping items I can’t take with me on board, assuming there’s enough leftover for that later on). I have taken a few of my things to the pawn shop last month and had received about $100 and with what remains from my birthday money and the little amount I received on graduation day, I have $140. Unlike the money that is strictly for commissions, this one is used for food (when there’s nothing to eat at home or happen to be out late) and to help ship my stuff after I’m sure that I have earned enough for the plane ticket. I still have a few things I can sell, including my own TV (so no console gaming, but I’m fine with that), and will take them to the pawn shop next time I can. Everything that is currently on my item sales list cannot be sold to the pawn shop, hence why things have been a bit slow in regards to selling my belongings. -- source link
