Fucking same. I blew the few thousand I had left on buckets lol
Thankfully, the volt cap where it is means only like 5 good posts per bucket, but man, I want the stockings in every color... And the new commons on the list for the next month are going to kill me aha

Don't forget about the buckets! They're so cute <3
I know jack shit about art and being an artist but I do know things about taxes! I, ah, am not your tax accountant and this is not professional advice etc but

The general rule is that you have to report income. I think there's a level under which you don't have to report--people here are saying 400, but I don't have a lot of experience with income at those low levels (if you aren't making that much, you don't pay people like me, haha). If the art is your main "job", you can deduct any expenses you have related to the art process. If it's not, it's usually considered a hobby and you can only deduct up to the amount of income you made. Keep track of that sort of stuff, especially if you're making enough on art that it becomes an actual income source. There are also a bunch of rules on whether you'd be considered self employed or not, but individuals aren't my line of expertise, and I don't feel comfortable speaking on that.

There do seem to be a lot of resources online that you can look into, though. Some I found while doing a bit of research:

The apron and flower share colors, but the apron has 3 in its design, I believe
Posted in Question regarding section of forum rules Posted 7 years ago
Hey, I can speak to this before I head off for the night. Steaming copyrighted content is a pretty big legal grey area, and Voltra doesn't currently employ any attorneys that specialize in that area, so we don't want to accidentally step into a legal issue. That's why we ask that you don't post links to those kinds of things. We aren't going to stop you from organizing something on your own offsite, obviously, but would ask that such an event not be hosted on Voltra and open the site to legal liability. We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience!
You can just post it here and I'll pass it on, or message Fozzy directly if you'd prefer it be a surprise. Just remember that the colors have to be the same 3 for both items... Or, well, same 2 used for the gloves that were included in the 3 for the belt, in any case, since the gloves don't utilize the third accent color. x3
I was considering them different entries based on the bangs/non bun part-- The curly, textured hair vs the straight smooth side bangs, since it was a full hair style and not just an extension.

Thanks for the feedback! I wanted to mention, just to clarify, that the time for the last batch of items may be extended based on the recolor turnaround time to ensure that they do get the full two days that were planned--don't worry, we aren't going to rush them out.
