I'm alive?

1 min read
So...things aren't too good, not for the last four months or so? I really don't know where to start, so I'd rather not.
I've booked a hotel room for a couple of nights, so that's how I'm here. Things will get better, eventually, but until then, I can't reach most of my project files, so that means no SSW and probably no animations. Also, if I owed you art, it's in the old computer which I can't get back too for some time.

But hey, I'm alive so that's good news. If anyone wants to talk to me, I'm MoonbowMaia on Twitter. ^^

Anyway, enough about me, I hope you're having a good day. See ya!

HEY EVERYONE.
SO it's obvious I've been stressed and depressed, and just, y'know, still in a financial plight. But I've got a plan to climb out of this, at least halfway.

  • Step one: Take a break from digital art.
Yes, this has been one of the primary catalysts of my stress my drawing tablet and work desk are not fit for me. I could list out all the reasons why, but I'd rather not trail off, but trust me when I say, they're not fit for me. Same goes for this dying computer but that's another matter. Anyway, I'm currently saving up for a graphics tablet (specifically a touchscreen monitor) within my budget. Which brings us to my next step...

  • Step two: Somehow save up for this tablet.
I'm aiming to get it within two months. BUT WAIT, HOW AM I GOING TO AFFORD IT WHEN ALL MY DAY-JOB PAY-CHECKS GO STRAIGHT TO THE BILLS???? By being very careful with spendings; start selling small paintings; keeping commissions open (only reason I'd do anything digital) aaaand; inviting ya'll to my Patreon!!

"WOAAAHHH YOU HAVE A PATREON ????!!?!?!?"

YEAH AND IT'S PRETTY MUCH JUST BEEN SITTIN' THERE FOR A WHILE NOW.

"WHAT DO YOU HAVE ON THERE????"

Oh, just art posted before anywhere else IF anywhere else; current WIPS; never-posted sketches; concept art for SSW and other secret projects; animation previews; commission discounts, monthly requests, monthly digital sketchbooks and more!

It's still new, but please take a look!

By the way: tier prices range between one and eight dollars--a month! YOU'RE GONNA GET FUDGING SPOILED!!

IN ADDITION TO THIS I AM GOING TO HOST A RAFFLE REAL SOON!

Prizes will include a 2D animated gif, and whatever else I can manage with this awful equipment until I can afford anything, hahah!
(Also I'm seeking guest prizes, so please let me know if you want to donate a prize or two!)

Anyway I think that's all. Not much of a life update because HAHHHH. Too much sh☆☆e. Except for my kitten Persephone, she's a blessin'.
That's all for now, farewell batlings and star children~

Just a heads up to those dearies enjoying my comic (Sickly Sweet Wonders) that I won't be able to put up this weeks page. <si>Waaahhh!
However, I'll have it up next week, and hopefully this will give me a good enough interval to jumpstart my queue building again, which was obliterated some weeks ago. But jeez o' creeps I can't wait to pick it up and introduce the others. But, yeah, I love this project but I need to take care of myself and not stress out too much about deadlines. But I can't help but feel stressed anyway, as I failed miserably at that animation deadline. BUT MIND YOU I left off halfway through the line art! I do plan to finish it very soon.

Moving on: It's been a couple of years since I've been to Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba, and as a birthday gift my mother got my sibling and I tickets to see it yesterday. Words don't do it justice. They rekindled childhood memories, my breathed life back into my circus painted heart, and I seriously cried and clapped so hard my hands hurt afterwards. Just... //screeches internally.
They've added two new acts, and other small differences and I heard something different in the music, so it was nice and refreshing. Oh my stars, I love the circus. Which is why I can't wait to introduce the circus in SSW

Also, just a reminder, I do have Emergency Commissions open, and slots are unlimited!
