My sister in law, who's staying with us for a while, is refusing to get the vaccination because of microchips. Afraid the gubbermints going to get into her broke ass's bank account or something.
I'm about |-| this close to telling her to get it or get her plague rat ass out on the street. -
@boneghazi I believe you are within every right to do so.

I would fully support your choice to do so, and would even prepare the eviction documentation, if necessary, au gratis.

The good:
Making money doing something I love: drawing for people.The bad:
My scanner is ass and it's slowing me down and it doesn't print anything better than shipping labels.The ugly:
Thanks to The Good, I can finally afford a really really really really really fancy printer, but my brain weasels are telling me buying it means everything dries up and what am I thinking?The hopeful:
I'll be able to offer prints of cats I've drawn, while the originals stay with the people that requested them. This includes the Arxian Gods and Reflections, and I'm eyeing those fractals like maybe I can do them feline justice. I'll also potentially be able to print the calendars in-house when I finish it, as well as some pretty interesting group portraits.I'm excited? And have so many people to thank. But I'm still pretty anxious, even while I stumble forward.
Wooohoooo.
ETA: The slightly uncomfortable: I'll have to raise my commission prices a little.

Your prices are already criminally low.

PM me. I am willing to purchase a Fujitsu scanner for you. It is the least I can do.

You're making a lot of people happy. This is a good thing.
You need a scanner to do this.
I'm not often a bringer of good things, but I can try.
-
@ganymede I was going to joke about how I see through you, trying to spread the word of your cat overlords, because humor is my defense mechanism when I'm flustered.
But seriously. I appreciate you. Trigger has been pulled on the printer already but I'm going to need a lot of paper. If you still wish to help with that, I won't say no.
Thank you.

Whwat @Ganymede said. If you need help, there are those of us around who're more than willing to do so.
Let me know. You're doing a good thing out here, brightening people's lives, even if just a little bit. Your thread on this forum is proof of that.
-
I keep getting offers to help. Should I set up a patreon?
-
@crawfish That's up to you, I think. It's just as viable to set up a Patreon, or if you're not comfortable that, reaching out to these people who're offering to help privately.
Either would work, seems like.

@crawfish Well. You could just tell people to send money to this PayPal address if you want to donate. That always works too.
-
@testament I'll figure out something! I can't keep flailing my hands squeaking 'noooo' every time. People will stop taking me seriously.
-
@crawfish Wait, I was supposed to take you seriously? (I kid. You're a great artist, and once I finally find a place to live, I want to talk to you about commissioning something.)
people love your stuff. I eagerly click on the crafting thread every time it pops up with a post, looking for more cats. And I don't even play on Arx, know who any of those characters are, and I'm not even a cat PERSON. So there. You make people happy, and that shit needs to be supported.
-
@macha No it's okay I barely take myself seriously.
Ugh. You guys keep saying nice things to me. Okay. OKAY.
Thank you.
I can't find a 'bad at accepting compliments' gif, dammit.
