HELP US GET TO PAY DAY AFTER MOVING FROM A LITERAL SLUM (COMMISSIONS OPEN)
PLEASE BOOST
My wife and I have lived in a horrible, awful apartment that is literally molding through the walls for the past three years. Pictures below showing exactly how messed up this apartment was. THANKFULLY- we managed to move, and have settled in to our new place. But, we ate through our entire savings account to do it and now are absolutely broke until my wife gets paid again.
So I'm opening commissions! I offer character illustrations, scene commissions, and RIGHT NOW am having a deal on comic pages where any comic page is only 100$ USD! That's 50$ off!
Slots are unlimited right now, here is my commission sheet: https://forms.gle/EHhFC3zp7aQutqbTA DM me if you're interested!
We also are open to donations if you can only afford a couple of bucks- anything helps, really!
Here is a gofundme as well: https://gofund.me/1eec60d7

Here are more in-depth pictures of where we moved from.
This is covering a broken window the landlords refused to fix for two years after THEY broke it while installing an AC unit. It got so cold last year due to this that pet water bowls froze solid, and we had to hide in our bedroom with all of our pets and heaters to stay warm.
Underneath that window the wall kept falling in due to water damage, and what you see is after years of us trying to patch it, the hole just got bigger until we had to just put something in front of it. Also, a bonus hole in the floor that led to someone's apartment underneath us.
Here is a panel in our bedroom that appears to have had the same issue as above, but they just put a sheet of wood over it. The water damage caused mold which you can see seeping out into the wall, and it was so bad that it caused our mattress to mold from just being close to it. Again, the landlords did not care.
This is the bathroom window, also broken before we moved in, that the landlords refused to look at. Bonus mold(?) around the windowsills
In the same bathroom, black mold was rotting through the ceiling to our shower. Again, the landlords did nothing to fix this and made us breathe this in.
Also in that bathroom, a giant hole behind the mirror that led to an open crawlspace where birds, bugs, and mice routinely got in to our apartment. Also never fixed or acknowledged as an issue.
On top of having no functioning stove, oven, or light, the kitchen ceiling was actively falling in. The landlord's response to that was to put a drop ceiling underneath, and just. let the building keep rotting on top?
And HERE is a picture of the hallway leading to our apartment. The landlords refused to put a new lock on the second door(we hired the first locksmith out of pocket), and just told us to put their old furniture they left in the unit in front of it. That was three years ago, and it is still there.
There were also issues we couldn't photograph, such as:
-half the outlets did not function, and no more than two heaters could be plugged in at any given moment in the apartment without flipping the breakers.
-the basement of the building was so full of water damage it actively hurt to breathe down there, and guess where the breakers were to flip.
-the landlords were so rarely there to monitor the property that I usually had to do with neighbor questions, while paying rent in an unrentable unit.
-the neighbors routinely knocked on our door at all hours of the night and day, despite us asking them to stop. the landlords did nothing about this, even when it resulted in us having to install a door camera to monitor who was trying to get in to our home.
-there was no stove the entire time we lived there, and had to instead use hotplates and countertop ovens that we paid for ourselves. There was also no light in the kitchen when we moved in, and we had to pay out of pocket to install one.
-half the time when we paid rent, we would get angry messages a week later trying to convince us we didn't and to get us to send more
-at least once a month, police would come looking for other tenants with arrest warrants for a variety of crimes. we would also be followed to our car by suspicious 'friends of tenants', something the landlords also did nothing about
-there was a giant pile of trash outside trash cans left to rot by the landlords, and we would routinely find discarded needles in or around it
-our landlords forced us to run extension cords to other units when other tenants' power was cut out, and made us pay for their power as well as ours when this happened. it would be for weeks at a time.
I know this is a lot, so hopefully it paints a picture of what we've been struggling with. Once again, we are finally out of that place and somewhere much safer, but we are broke. Anything would help, even if you can only afford to spare a little bit.
I’m not dead heres art to prove it! i’ve been really busy with commissions and real life work, but i promise PMD is still eating my brain
first picture of Bidoof from Explorers and Star the Sableye from my AU where a Sableye gets blasted with the ‘forgets their past’ beam instead of the hero
second is of the human from my explorers AU, who has forgotten nothing and is full of anger
third is of my PMD comic idea where there are two humans who have to navigate their amnesia in the ruins of Sinnoh and have to find out their pasts together to fix the present(and they do gayisms)
fourth is just some PMD OCs i have that i just think are neat
and fifth is fanart of the latest chapter of @teshamerkel ‘s fic, Seekers of Soul, which is insanely good and this scene was very cute so I had to doodle it! (plus i wanted to test limited color work for future plans)
Hello! I’m moving out of my current living arrangement in the next month or so and would really like some money for that, as well as medications and HRT! Here’s my prices! Message me if interested, boost if not please!
