Weekly Schedule Time & Events (9/25)

Added 2017-09-25 22:34:08 +0000 UTC

Hallo, everybody.

So as a few of you know, I’ve been having a tough time and as it is, my roommates and I just ended up flat broke, which means that we’re kind of in a sticky position. Our rent is about $1080/mo. and while both of my roommates have jobs, things just lined up really badly this month.

I’ve been trying to grind out as much work as I possibly can but I’m really close to overloading myself. I was fretting pretty badly come last Friday’s stream.

So last Saturday, Carmine went and ran a charity stream in order to help raise funds in order to keep the roof over our heads. I was really in awe of the whole thing and through my Paypal and Ko-Fi we raised about $530!

Still, I don’t have to tell you how grateful and just... flabbergasted I am at that. uvu;

(But I will anyway. Also, sorry to those of you over at FA, I... haven’t been posting there for a long time and I forgot to put up a journal about it. >.<;)

It seriously blows my mind and I’m very thankful for everything. It’s just so hard to believe sometimes that I have people who really care that much about me and my work.

With that, we still have about $550 to cover. My Patreon is looking to be about $95 this month after fees and junk, which is good, but if you want to help, feel free to click on the links above. Every little bit helps, even a dollar! Heck, if everyone who followed me just pitched in $1 a month, I’d never have to worry about rent again, and that would be a drop in the bucket for most of you.

No pressure, of course, to those who can’t. I completely understand. Right now, we’re still looking into other avenues of help right now and I’m hoping everything fills out enough between future paychecks and maybe some assistance from my roommates’ families (there have been some job losses and hard times there, too, so I wasn’t very confident at all, which is why I was fretting.)

Now, I know I said above that I didn’t want to pile any more on myself, currently, but if you still want to get something from me, I will be happy to take your commissions. I know that it may be a while before I can get around to everything, but I’m going to be working as hard as I can to stay on top of everything.

Anyway, on to that.

Announcements and Business

Commissions are still OPEN!

I still have TWO (2) SLOTS REMAINING, so send me your info, feel free to do that by the usual channels. E-mail and notes at various sites (IB/dA/etc.) are preferred. Not so much on Tumblr, or over on Discord, though I may ask for clarification there.

These will be standard commissions, sketch or ink, b/w or color, and you can find the link for pricing below!

Limit of three characters per commission, please.

E-mails about commissions go to commission(at)foxsaliant.com

My site links are at the bottom of this post.

Some things have been shuffled around a bit! I’ll be keeping you up on what I plan to do by day every week, but I’m happy to schedule things for people! Just, if anyone wants to schedule anything, please let me know about a week or so in advance!

Remember! If you have something and you’re not sure if it’s OK, just ask. I’ll be happy to outline my boundaries and such for you.

If you need pricing info, please check the site for details:

Next month, as per usual, I’m going to be running Spooky Sketches: Halloween ‘17! I’ll be posting info on that in the coming days, but they’ll be $17 color single character sketches, either of monster girls/guys or characters in costume! If you’ve done this the last two years, you know kind of what to expect, but we’ll see how they turn out this year! By my estimate, in order to completely cover rent, I’m going to have to do 65 of these over the course of the month! That’s about 5 or 6 a night, three nights a week over four weeks. Given my past experiences with SotS, this is not impossible, but it’s going to be rough so I hope you all will be around to cheer me on (and, yanno, will want that many sketches. ovo; )

That will start at the beginning of October, so keep a look out for that later in the week! I’ll let you all know when I’m open and how to register.

As always, I would like to send out my thanks to everyone who supports my Patreon! We’re going to have a cute little wallpaper hopefully done and up by Thursday! ^v^ I’ll run another vote for the next one, but it’s hard to tell if we’re going to hit on or under the goal for this month (we’ve been hovering right around there for a few months), so if you’re interested in seeing one for next month, too, or just want to support Fox Saliant Studios, feel free to click on that link there!

I have a Ko-Fi now! Just in case you’re not fond of Patreon but still want to support without having to buy something expensive. ^v^ It’s cheap and every little bit helps! On October 5th, I’ll reset the counter and update it with the current cable bill, since everything right now is going towards rent.

There is now a Fox Saliant Studios/Various Happenings discord channel!

It’s not public just yet, but if you want an invite, you’re free to message me to get one!

So, now that that’s out there, onto the list...

Milestones & Highlights!

Let’s see how things are going!

As of right now:

That’s a lot of numbers!

More and more people are being introduced to my work and I feel pretty good about that. We just have to knuckle down and learn how to make the most of everything we’ve got right now.

We just need to survive until we can get out of Atlanta. Less than a year until Dicy graduates, so we’ll see how that all pans out. I’ll keep you all posted, but we’re cheering them on over here, for sure. ^v^

As always, if you want to ask me questions about my work, feel free to e-mail me at sali(at)foxsaliant.com or pm me either here, or at my deviantart or inkbunny (links are below).

If you want to help me out or see stuff that I can’t quite show off yet, feel free to visit my Patreon and contribute! If you just want to help, check out my website over at Foxsaliant.com for general info and donation links! I set up Ko-Fi for those of you who are still skittish about Patreon but want to toss something my way anyway, so if that appeals to you, go ahead and throw something over there!

Anyway, that’s all for now!

Thank you all so much for your love and support! ^v^ As always, I’ll be here if you need me! See you later!
