But not popular at all.

@Totalanimefan: haha yeah.
at most i think i'd just say website or platforms for social media.
but i got commissioned on toyhouse which most people post characters on.
tho on there i do have a shop lol but did not get it through that.
i just applied and someone was like "YES" lolol.

other one was twitch.
twitch is probably my best platform but yeah it' pretty cool.
i'm so new to this so im hoping i do not make a bad name for myself and i am in constant
contact with commissioners.
i am very relieved my commissioners are so kind and nice to me.
i'm hoping eventually i can replace my barely surviving laptop LOL.

@Totalanimefan: yeah. and my equipment is legit the bare minimum
with frequent crashing.
but my viewers all understand and just make memes out of it and jokes lol.

would love tho to have a proper PC for it tho so it can handle me drawing and painting better.
during streams i gotta do minimum work due to my program lags so much LOL

@Totalanimefan: yeah their desks are super nice. I have one in mind I like.
but I'd need to sell my current desk first.
shipping is gonna be a hassle as we only have ikea in the next town over that's an hour away.

@wildfire: my thread hasn't been very busy.
I haven't done any art due to I got booked with irl commissions so freebs most likely won't happen until event is over and I'm mostly done with commissions

@Totalanimefan: we had planned once to buy from them online and the shipping can be expensive considering
it's an hour away. im not sure how much tho.

we've been doing FB marketplace but only one thing has sold so far.
so it's been kinda hard to sell stuff on there.

@MoodyB: it makes sense that you'd prioritize iRL commissions before freebies on a web site like this. I'm happy to hear you're getting commissions! :3

@Totalanimefan: our town is pretty huge
but we get offers from out of the state. we only do in state pickup.
so we don't do shipping of the items. they have to come and pick it up themselves because shipping big pieces of furniture
is very expensive.


@Wildfire: im hoping it's not a fluke of luck LOL.
considering my laptop is always having issues.
hoping i can eventually replace this laptop with a desktop. for me that is priority
next to my art courses.

@Totalanimefan: yeah that's what we do lol.
just gonna take a while to get some takers on all the things we are selling.
we are mostly trying to downsize in case we do find a place.

we did find a potential place.
im so on board but everyone is on the fence about it.

@Totalanimefan: yeah. i feel that way not just for FB marketplace but also selling my art lolol.

im just worried if we sleep on it too much it'll be gone.
i really like it because laundry room is in the same room as the kitchen
and it may seem weird but as someone with adhd i prefer having it in the kitchen area
and not go through several rooms to get to laundry room. otherwise i just become unmotivated to do laundry lol.

and the floor is wood and i prefer wood flooring.
so im hoping they will go for it.
it also allows pets.

@Wildfire: haha yeah. for what i need, i can't just get the cheapest desktop sadly lol.

that is how i ended up with my bad asus thst only has 4gb ram which barely functions for an artist. and I need at least 16gb ram. so I have to spend a little more.

@MoodyB: Oh, believe me - I get it! It's just amazing how much some of these things can cost... One would think by now that (truly functional) technology would be cheaper than it is. :3

@Wildfire: part of me gets it because certain parts can be more expensive.
but still sucks when you need something better but your broke lol

mine has a bad habit of blue screening and lost many works because of it.

@MoodyB: I was being semi-sarcastic. I do understand why computers are still "expensive" but I don't. At the end of the day, the companies and the industry found a price-point that the public is willing to pay for the technology...
