FIRST OFF: EVERYONE WHO ALREADY HELPED OR DONCRIBUTED IS ALREADY ENTERED!! YAY!Alright. As many of your know, due to ridiculous new policies regarding digital income in the US designed to punish self-employment efforts, I apparently owe the Govment TWICE AS MUCH AS I SAVED UP FOR. $8000. YAY!
Luckily, I've acquired a sort of big (and really boring) graphics design contract. I'm also doing commissions in between working on that!! But honestly, contributions to this fund are what are keeping me alive right now… And I'm super thankful to all of you. Really. I hate to do this. I really, REALY hate it. It makes me feel just… all over bad… But thank you. I would not survive without the support of my friends here. /actually crying lately.
So yeah… that's my plight… I've lost all my savings instantly and am trying cover the difference. But even then, I've hit rock bottom and can't even pay any bills next month. String is also taking efforts to help us out. It sucks that our fucking cats don't have jobs.
If you'd like to help (or have already helped us!! Thank you!!), you will not only receive a digital high-resolution coloring pack of some of my best linearts, but you'll be entered to win
my birthday present a PSVITA or a 3DS, plus their accessories, or Dakimakuras for the aGoGos or Cteno!

• There will be FOUR winners! 1st place picks one of the prizes, 2nd picks from the 3 remainders, and so on!
• Winners will be contacted by their PPal emails!! That way it's DEFINITELY a working email!!
I am already seriously moved to tears by the support I've gotten. And it's support for String and our pets too. Like, wow… I don't really have words. The contract job I took is the safest way for me to cover some funding and get a chunk headstart. Working on commissions in between is helping too, but yeah… Contributions are the only way I can make this happen. And if I can give you guys anything in return right now, be it the artpack or video games or dakis, that makes me feel a little less horrible about asking for help.
Once this is all over I seriously need to rethink my options in lieu of these new government stipulations… which are completely unfair and horrible… Basically my income is considered a freestanding business's income instead of an artist's income, because it's digital. But in the meantime… Yeah. Thank you all.
Thank you so so much.
