Hello kitties,
So I am going through a super ruff time right now. I work part time at a health food store making $8hr, which allows me to barely skim by. I recently purchased a used BMW which I thought was going to be a reliable but broke after a week of having it. The Cooling fan disintegrated out of no where damaging my radiator, AC belt,air intake and a but load of other things.
Now I live in a Hick town and not having a car here is killer. You need a car to survive. Everything is at least a couple miles away. My brother did the estimates, and he said it'd be at least $500 to get it back running again. My pay checks are about $400 (Every two weeks)...
And as some of you know, I do commissions and I hate to ask, but I
really need some extra money right now. I know I'm not the greatest artist out there but I'll put %100 effort in each commission I do.
I'll even do animation commissions.I'll do
anything you want
My commissions start at $3

They give the car you're considering a FULL inspection and let you know exactly what you're buying.
That said, I feel for you. D: I just bought a car the other day and fingers crossed this kind of thing doesn't happen! If I hadn't spent so much getting the car, I'd totally lend you a hand here and buy a commission, but CA is dumb and I've got to pay a bunch of taxes and crap for the car....plus auto insurance. Aug. But I see that you are a fellow Sheezyarter, Newgroundser, and Smackjeevist...so here's some decent advice.
You might want to try some freelancer sites around. Elance.com and Freelancer.com...though good luck competing with the Chinese and Indians. They give themselves away for super cheap because they can. Fiverr.com is kinda cool and you can bring in some biz doing some cheap portraits/cartoon version of people. Word of warning though, you'll only be getting $4 per comission (the site takes $1 per job) and you can only transfer $30-50 to your paypal at a time (and then paypal takes $1...oi! it adds up fast) but I bet you'll get a lot of business.
Ummm, and last but not least, I see that you've got a few web comics with LOTS of fans BUT NO ADS!? WAZWRONGWITCHU GRLL!? lol, get some ads on those shiz and bring in some pennies! They add up quickly. Google adsense (google.com/adsense) and project wonderful (projectwonderful.com) are the ways to go...especially for webcomics.
Mkay, hope you're surviving well in the meantime and take a little of my advice.
I posted about you on my journal. I hope someone buys a commish. :3
and my DA blog.
You draw well you should be getting more commissions with help. Best wishes to your 500 dollar goal.
I would put down a bar (some visuals) showing how far you are from the 500 dollar goal for the viewers,
when there's a visual goal, it gets faster.
And for the advice as well!
And. I have always loved your animations. I am honored!
