When you see all these great artists put out commissions posts and you never have the money to buy the Nice Things of your own characters

/just....draws all the cute things for herself instead???

hello darkness my old friend

What makes it worse? I'm Canadian, and the USD to CAD exchange rate is horrible

And most commissions are done in USD. Right now, $30USD = a few cents off from $40CAD

^^^

god yeah the exchange rate is such garbage it makes me sad

'oh, that's affordable! oh- wait, not it's USD, so add at least +25%'

foreign money problems solidarity

Yeahhhhh I always feel awful for the Canadian conversion rate

Thank you lol. But yes regardless of currency type this is a Struggle.

And like you want to properly support Art and stuff, but at the same time...poor

the worst part is I have this from both sides

Nobody can buy my art because Poor, which means I'm too poor to buy anything

A terrible cycle indeed D:

I have this same problem -draws stuff for self forever.-
