Hello everyone! I hope you're doing fine and you got to enjoy the weekend!

I've been working really hard on commissions as of lately and I think it's finally had its toll on me 'cause I feel a bit under the weather

Hopefully I'll feel better soon!

Today I wanted to reach out to you all to ask for your support in my quest to become a full-time artist!

I've joined Patreon! For those you who've never heard of that website it's sort of like a kickstarter campaign but for smaller quantities of money and runs on a monthly basis. It's meant to be a way for awesome people like you to support your favourite artists & creators while receiving some awesome rewards in return!

Why do I need your help?

It's been a couple of months since I finished my master's degree and I've been working non-stop on commissions to save up enough money to move out from my parents' house and start a life of my own! However, despite all my hard work and saving up ALL the money I've earnt so far, I've noticed it's not enough to live on my own without taking an extra job on, that would eventually lead me to not being able to work on my commissions as often as I am now.

I really want to spend my days creating art that can impact other people's lives positively, the way it did when ArtCorgi founder Malcolm Collins hired me (and other artists) to create a piece of art that he could use to propose to his fiancee Simone (she said yes!). Or how Chad chose me to draw the family portrait he wanted to celebrate his 10 year anniversary with his wife

. Or the way CerdoGuerrero and I worked together on a commission and a small project that made his friend incredibly happy when he most needed it!

You can help me achieve this goal if you support me by becoming my patron in Patreon.com!

What do you get from helping me?

I value your help and support above all so I want to make sure I give back to everyone who supports me! I've set different rewards depending on the amount you pledge. You can see works in progress, watch my video tutorials before they go live, receive discounts for commissions, get monthly free art delivered to you on demand or even have me as your personal manga art teacher! If you'd rather receive different things each month you pledge (for the same value) you can send me a message and specify what you'd like (ie. you pledged $75 and instead of a waist up shot with bg you'd like a manga page of a story you have in mind, you can has it

!).

:bademoticon: Apart from the material rewards, you'll get the priceless feeling of knowing that each time I put my pen to the tablet, it will be thanks to you!

What are my goals?

I ultimately want to raise enough money monthly to be able to have art as a career and not have to take up another job that would lead me away from art. I want to let my creative spirit free and I can only do so if you help me <3

If enough people support me I will be able to continue working on my manga Aequinoctium and publish it on a regular basis! I already have a few more pages done but I'm afraid of posting them knowing I might not be able to continue it in a steadily schedule.

I would also love to upgrade my tablet to a Cintiq, but my current Intuos works fine so far so I would only accomplish this goal once my current tablet stops working.

Become my Patron?

To become my patron you need to make a pledge in my personal page :bademoticon: here :bademoticon: . Once you make your pledge it will be billed every month (around the 5th of each month) unless you change the amount you pledge or you cancel your pledge before the next month. Each month that I receive your pledge you'll receive the respective reward depending on your pledge, I will be very diligent in delivering these rewards in time!
