[fundraising/commissions] Hi guys, this is Ceti/ ✿Oli❁Shine✿ and I'm in pretty desperate need of some financial help, since my job keeps screwing me over. I'm happy to offer some kind of commissions - I do pixel art and colouring, and can work out excel spreadsheets and such.

The prices for these are... probably negotiable at this time, but I usually charge about $60-100 for colouring, depending on the prices.

getting back to my normal account, I'm getting ready for work shortly (for better or worse) so I'll have to get some samples afterward - I'm not the fastest, but I will do my best to get to things asap. I'm looking at about $4-500 I need currently to be in a better financial state.

Donations are of course welcome, and can be sent via paypal to ukeheliel@gmail.com . I can see about working out other payment methods for those who need them but at the moment that's my one available option.

I can also offer some other services, like proofreading (15 cents/word) and icons (idk prices but if you'd like them, we can talk through it)

I'm off to work now so I'll be somewhat unavailable for about 3 hours, assuming it's busy tonight

also signal boosting is more than welcome and thanks to all of y'all in advance!

if there's something else I may be able to do, feel free to ask! I'm sure I've forgotten plenty of options in crisis mode

finally home so I can throw some samples into this-- please pardon that they're mostly WIPs, I haven't been doing much colouring in a while.

lines are from fuss pot, tokiseraph and deamond89 respectively

(only one has sample markings because it's an actual commission)

and some of the custom pixels I've done, most of these are pretty old but are still fairly indicative of my style

visibility ping

awake again to give this a quick ping

Boo, artbot!

beep for non-bot visibility

sniped and blocked, so at least that shouldn't happen again, smh

thank you to everyone who's boosted this for visibility and sent donations ♥ you guys are the greatest, especially since I know life is pretty crazy for a lot of us right now. atm I'm at 50/~400, and offers for services are still very much open!

i have a very small following on Twitter, but if you have one i can try boosting there?

I have a Twitter that exists but I'd have to figure out how to set something up there... I'm a little more precious with my personal info there tbh

BOOST

thanks again to everyone who's offered help in any way! and it's good to see you again, LWP, no matter how long it's been since I'd last fallen off the platform. every tiny bit helps so much more than I can express. ♥︎ at 100/4-500 I'm almost steady for bills next week, most importantly rent. a lot of the others I can at least push back a little

Of course.

but to also explain a bit more for anyone curious, my current circumstance is an extremely variable gig job, and I have a disability that keeps me from working anywhere near full time, often even near proper part time. on top of having to work 90% of my hours with no safety net or wage, they keep putting in new "easier to understand" pay rates that are—

paying us less and less. even when I was only working 20 hours a month, the most recent changes have me at an average wage of $8-10/hr. minimum wage in our area is $13.50.

litigation is unfortunately tricky because gig work falls under weird laws and it's stupid af

(I'm in the process of trying to find a different job, but despite the number of openings, you know how it can be. with a disability and personal circumstances, I've had to look past several I would have once considered too)

I completely understand that! With good reason lately, it seems, too. Best of luck reaching your goal!

thank you so much, and honestly thanks for offering!

just rolling in here to give this another tap

boosting

boosting this again! I've managed to scrape together enough for rent, but I have another ~$110 car insurance bill to get to that's going to be pushed off with how work has gone. the rest can be juggled a little bit but this one is a necessity for continued work

thank you again for everyone's support! I hope your 4th was good, whether it was firework-pocalypse or not. I'm at 150/~400 now and you guys are super amazing this or for services will remain open probably until I reach the goal one way or the other, or until my circumstance changes.

coming back in here to bump this because sadly, it's still very much things I need. thanks again to everyone who's helped get this out there!

and back here again because some more stuff compounded and I'm losing my mind, love this for me

as before, prices on artwork are pretty negotiable, kinda pay what you want at this point. donations still welcome as well, of course
