In general, if your only experience with Shakespeare is reading it in class, there is so much you've missed. The play's the thing. A good performance really can make a world of difference.

This is why I pretty much always start all of my campaigns with my players at level 3 (and allow them to use the standard array if they want).

Why are you using AI to generate your logo

Alioth Fox (➡️ Carolina FurFare) @aliothfox.ursamajorartworks.com · 9h

No, it's not okay to do it "just as a placeholder."
No, it's not okay to do it "just for the logo and nothing else."

If you can't afford to pay an artist for your logo, draw it yourself (even just a crayon scribble!).

At this point I don't see how that would make much difference. The breach was with one of Discord's data collectors, and anywhere that signs onto this age verification nonsense is going to be just as vulnerable.

Oh no, who could ever have seen this coming, etc. etc.

A comic where a woman is forcing kiwi to sign a contract.

The woman says.
“YES DOLL! SIGN THAT CONTRACT AND BECOME WHAT YOU WHERE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE

You've moved beyond rage baiting and have developed to joy baiting. That means you've improved your baiting skills substantially. You've become an expert. A master baiter, you could say.

I don't know what calculations you took in for that ~$48K, but there are a couple two BIG assumptions I can't make:

1) That I'm working all 52 weeks out of the year with zero vacation or breaks, and
2) That I consistently have commission work available.

Neither of those things can be assumed.

I'm only working about 30 hours a week. My body absolutely cannot handle 40.

My income last year was only around $22K. I do have some advantages though - I live in an area with a very low cost of living, and I also have a spouse and another housemate.

I do use Clip Studio - I never knew about that feature though, that's cool. I'll have to keep closer tabs on it.

(In truth, I'm glad you responded in particular because out of all the babyfur/ABDL artists out there, you're the one I know of who seems - just from what I can see by your offerings/prices/etc. - to have the workflow that is most similar to mine.)

Alioth Fox (➡️ Carolina FurFare) @aliothfox.ursamajorartworks.com · 2d

My commission types are slightly higher or lower in some cases, yeah. The $25 is an approximation that's based on the average, with me looking at my calendar and just totaling everything up. ("I got paid $X total for the commission work I'm doing this week, and have Y hours scheduled for it all.")

I'm not *currently* in dire straits, but I'm behind on taxes and it always feels like I am one bad month away from drowning. But looking at it like "you're making $20+ per hour" doesn't feel like that should be the case.

Am I bad with money or is it just further proof that min wage is too low?

Alioth Fox (➡️ Carolina FurFare) @aliothfox.ursamajorartworks.com · 2d

I'm saying that because it occurs to me that I've never really seen an artist break down a "here's roughly what my rate translates to," and it... honestly feels like something that SHOULD be talked about more?

Looking at those numbers, I can't really tell where I *should* be vs. where I am.

Alioth Fox (➡️ Carolina FurFare) @aliothfox.ursamajorartworks.com · 2d

So I did some math, and my commission rates work out to a respectable ~$25/hour (but - big caveat - that's just the pure gross dollar amount, before ANY taxes, bills, or expenses of any kind).

What I make on my SubscribeStar YCHs/stickers is slightly less (around ~$23/hr), but slightly more stable.
