Looks like there's an ongoing Trans MLM Jam on Itchio! Might be something some of y'all are interested in: itch.io/jam/trans-ml...

Share so it finds more folks! It only has 17 people joined so far and I know there are more of you out there than that who want to make Trans MLM stories!

🖤 #MutualAid request to help me recover from medical bills!

ive been trying my best to save money, but i just cannot seem to recover on my own.. im going to be out of money once i pick up my meds next week, and dont get paid until 8/27

donations and my shop are open, tysm!! 😭

Recover from Medical Bills
$0 of $800 goal

In recent months I've needed urgent medical attention, draining my entire monthly check every month. Within the past week alone as of July 31, I've had to spend over $700 on medical bills. I hardly make any money on disability benefits, so this makes paying for food and such difficult.

I also had to take my cat to the vet, costing an additional $330. I was able to put it on Carecredit, but I know I won't be able to recover enough financially on my own to pay it back.

Thank you if you can help!

Various pinback heart buttons in my shop for $5 or $6. In order they feature: Lord Ethyron (OC), Neuvaine and Velaris (OC), Transgender Pride, Caldarus from Fields of Mistria, a Vampire and Werewolf, and Frieren.

Heads up that these are still open! I'm still working on getting more book nooks and dollhouses photographed and posted, but commissions are always available!

As ever, please share this post around even if you can't help directly! Shares are just as important - you never know who it'll reach.

I want to open up a 12th night YCH on vgen, but I need another sample! Drop your trios of OCs, and I'll pick a trio to draw <3 Keep in mind I'll be simplifying complicated designs + just customizing the colors of the sword.

Digital art. Base drawing of the 12th Night Kiss meme featuring the left character stabbing the far right character through with a sword while pulling the central character in for a kiss.

I HAVE HAD THE LAB TESTING DONE AS OF TODAY. The ppl there really helped me out as far as not getting hit with the $440 bill all at once, AND I got my medication refilled, finally. Just gotta get through the appointment and wait for the lab bill to come in. PLEASE keep sharing if you can! <3

Digital art. Painted style of two fantasy characters dancing together. One of them is a dragonborn with platinum scales and armor, and the other is a green-skinned elven figure with butterfly wings and a flowery pink dress. Both of them look pleased and happy to be dancing with eachother, and the background is warm tones full of sparkles.

$280 / $400

I can definitely get through the appointment and start a payment plan for the testing at this point! I'll still need help making up the remaining testing costs, but at least I've got some time now! Please keep sharing and thank you so much to everyone who has helped out in any way. <3

$130 / $400

Here's the update: I won't be able to set up a payment plan until I have a bill already, so I can get my tests at the lab as of tomorrow. I have some concerns about the extra $150 for my appt itself (which was covered) but I think I can ask someone close to me for help. More later.

$111 / $400 reached!

This is an amazing response already, but I'm hoping we can do more. I'll update this thread again later once I've called the lab I need to visit for testing and gotten a formal quote, but hopefully they'll be able to put me on a payment plan. Keep sharing in the meantime!! <3

Reference sheet for @kingxlink.bsky.social's Lupin! I designed him a few years ago, but this is a revamp to give him the justice his design deserves ^^

[ #pathfinder #dnd #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #art #supportartists #artistforhire #fantasyillustration #TTRPGart #D&D ]

Digital art. Reference sheet of a blonde man with a blonde undercut mohawk that flops to one side. He wears simple plate armor with Hydrangea patterns adorning it and scale mail beneath. Around his neck is a tattered purple scarf. He carries a longsword on his back, and has a full-size shield, both if which match his armor.
