(this is a copy+paste from my fa and tumblr, so for those who follow me there this will be familiar)

ok so. i have gotten to a point where i am low on money basically all the time and it sucks and so im going to open up pyop commissions / donations. this is difficult for me to do and i'd rather do some sort of steady commissions (like coloured sketches, as i used to do) but im afraid i wont have time to complete them. i understand if anyone isnt willing to work with this format, but it's the best for my current situation and maintaining my mental health.
there's a lot of other stuff that ill talk about below all this but for now ill just get straight to it.

so here's how this will go:

• after this journal i will be putting my paypal email on my profile (ill also list it later on in this journal)
• even if you only have a dollar or two to spare - which i totally understand - i promise ill draw you something. anything helps me!
• if you want something similar to anything already in my gallery then you can link that to me and ill try to do that as best i can with my current setup (laptop + wanky ps), as well as quote you a specific price.
• i will most likely NOT finish things as quickly as i have in the past - i am in college now (i only have the time to write this because im on fall break) with 21 credit hours and i am busy all day at least 4 days a week, either in class or doing homework. i WILL definitely draw something for anyone who donates, but it may not be same day / next day basis. more details on my schedule will be sent to anyone interested and posted on my profile.
• PLEASEEE PLEASE PLEASE if you send me money leave your username and PM ME RIGHT AFTER so i can keep track!! i do check FA almost every day so usually ill reply to a note pretty quickly, at least within a day.
• i am not really comfortable with big donations, although i am very grateful. i just dont have the time to spend hours and hours drawing, so id like to keep donations to 30$ at most.

and now:

• my paypal is kemofis@hotmail . com IF DONATING, MAKE A NOTE OF YOUR USERNAME!
• COMMENT or SEND A PM if you want more information. if you have any specific questions please ask!! im willing to negotiate almost anything.

ok, so for people who want to know why i'm doing this:
as i said before im in college now and i have no job so im constantly spending money with none coming in, besides what my parents can give me. fortunately, a lot is provided for by my university and parents. i dont have to pay any big bills or anything like that, my health is mostly fine besides my mental health. about 75-80% of my tuition is covered by my university because of my grades and im thankful for that.

moving on to my issues:

• i am vegan and although i do have a meal plan i cant always eat what they provide for ethical / lifestyle reasons. i did get to go grocery shopping this weekend with my parents and i bought enough to last me the next 2 weeks maybe but after that ill need to go out to buy more food that i can eat when a meal swipe isnt available or is not suited to my diet.
• secondly, i identify as non-binary and my dysphoria has been getting progressively worse. i really want to get a binder and other supplies to make me more androgyne-passing but my parents don't really support my identity. i dont shave my legs and my hair is short and ive wanted to get it cut shorter but my dad keeps telling me that those things are for men and i should be shaving and leaving my hair long. i cant go to them to get money for any nb stuff which is primarily why i am doing this. i can order a binder and ship it to my university address, and transfer money from paypal to my bank account to get haircuts / etc.

that is basically why i am doing this in a (kind-of) nutshell. please don't worry too much for me, i am mostly ok. i have a strong family-like bond with my suitemates at college and we all support each other when we're down, but there are just some things that i have to be able to do for myself. drawing is my passion, and the only thing i have time to do right now for money.

thank you for reading. i hope everyone is doing well!
a lot of people seem to be in bad situations right now, so if you are also in a tough spot don't worry, we'll get through it together!
again, if anyone has further questions please note me (preferred) or comment.
