AoS > Legion > Arrow

Although if someone want to switch Legion and Arrow, that's fine, it's only been one season, while Arrow is strong this season because of all the past shit we've been through.

Being a literal starving artist is frustrating. I spent the past three days at my town's carnival trying to sell off all of my art because I'm giving up my art and I'm unemployed with no money and my mother said I have to start paying for my own food. So the first day I tried to go on the DL and sell some of my stuff. A couple hours in when I was talking to a black couple some town ordinance guy walked up to me and basically said to get out of there and don't make me call the cops. Still went around trying to see if any of the vendors will let me sell with them and split the profits. Got nothing from any of them, but I found a black owned store nearby who said I could set up a table in front and won't charge me. I came back the next day and set up my table, but no one bit. Plenty of people said my stuff looks good and gave away a bunch of my business cards, but I didn't sell a damn thing. Went there today and nothing either.
I didn't eat at all yesterday and had to beg my mother to eat today. It is so fucking hard being an artist. No job and I can't even sell my shit off when I'm desperate.

i see people requesting commissions online all the time. you may have to draw some...questionable Sonic pictures.

You could put up a Patreon for your ever growing art portfolio to accept donations. I mean there are lots of imaginative ways to try to make money. We are usually just to exhausted from the working part to try to manage the profit. But if you're an artist, the two are very uniquely related with your ability to eat.

keep your head up Blas.

This was the best trailer yet imo

I want to eat the most delicious crow for this movie, but after two stinkers, it's utterly hard to have high hopes for it lol

And it's made all the more awkward since she's an iconic superhero, so there's this elephant in the room where it kinda needs to be good, otherwise Hollywood gets stupid ideas...

Yeah, I've been taking comissions online for as long as I've been a member here. No bites. Only got like three ever and there were all in person from people I know.

Let me let you hold $20, or a pizza, or something.

I'm with everyone else, though. Whenever I'm on Tumblr and the like, I see people doing commissions. Maybe you can get in on that. Get a following, start a patreon, etcetc. Hope things turn up for you. Can't imagine what you're going through, but you've got my prayers.

Patreon is a service people use to connect with fans, mainly, but they also set up donation goals for x thing to happen, or sell memberships so people can get x thing for x price at x interval.

That's the life we live. I know the struggle all too well, but my folks would be hard pushed to cut me off after all I've helped them with.

The thing about Arrow is that this is legit the best season it's ever had with every episode being good to great and building up stuff from the past 4 seasons. Prometheus in name only is pretty dope as well.
