I know I said I'd be leaving deviantArt, but I recently received word that my dad will be retiring from teaching in July due to various circumstances, which means he won't be contributing to the rent- so I'm desperate. He's been supporting all of us, mainly because my mom can't work, and we've never once been able to find any sort of employment, despite our best efforts.

My only source of income is music streaming revenue, someone occasionally buying one of my fonts, and the extremely rare art commission. Put it all together, and it only amounts to roughly $100 a year, if even that. It's hardly enough to live on.


So what I'm saying is, please, anyone reading this: commission me, buy my fonts, stream my music, donate to my Ko-Fi, ANYTHING. I have no clue if I'll be able to get a job by July, so literally anything will help.

If you can't send money, spread links to my accounts wherever you can, get my work out there so people can see it. I've been wallowing in obscurity for too long, and I don't know if I can survive it much longer.

I truly hope someday I can make a living off my art. I had hoped that'd be the case by now, since I've been posting my work online for over 15 years, but I'm still barely above a nobody. I know I can do it, I'm confident in my skills. I just need other people to believe it too.

Well, it's here.

Unless the staff gives us the option to switch back to the old layout, I'm outta here for good. This new layout is so ugly, I don't even want to try and get used to it. From what I've read, it's also severely lacking in features that we had before, so what's point?


UPDATE: You know what I think I hate the most? Those things at the bottom of journals that said "eating", "drinking", "reading", and "watching". I really enjoyed doing those, 'cause they gave context to what I wrote and reminded me of what I was doing at the time. I was hoping those would stay there forever, as a document of my artistic life. But now they're just gone.

UPDATE 2: oh my god they still haven't fixed the download glitch


Anyway, for old watchers and anyone new stumbling onto my gallery for the first time, you can still contact me for commissions or whatever. I'll also still check on dA every now and then, just in case there's something I need to reply to.

My Newgrounds gallery is already set up, so it shouldn't take long to upload everything, and I also have Twitter and Tumblr if that's more your thing.

I just got my first real taste of the new deviantArt layout, and oh my god it's terrible. Everything's enormous and overly round and unfriendly-looking.

I don't think I could stand using this site as my main gallery anymore if I'm forced to use the new look permanently. So I'm considering posting my work to Newgrounds instead if and when that happens. I'm already thinking it would be a good idea to post stuff there anyway. Don't worry though, I will never delete my gallery or anything I've uploaded. There's too many nice comments that I'd hate to see go away.

So yeah, the new dA layout sucks.

I'm currently writing some of the music for this game, which is in the early stages of development. It's a dating sim/visual novel based on Night in the Woods, with fantastic artwork and writing.

UPDATE: I'm actually writing some of the script and contributing artwork now!

There's a cure, but it's really expensive, and we're very low on income, so anything will help.

UPDATE: Koroma has been cured and is home and feeling happy, but we haven't reached our goal yet! We could still use some donations.
