Supporting a protest of reddit is extremely important for the internet, I mean, I started my own lemmy instance! The ideas are important to me.

But like I, uh, need....money at times. I've been kinda down recently in terms of doing artwork, but I've hit a very productive groove and I've run out of commissions. The way my brain works, it has very high periods of output, with long periods of rest/hibernation. It's important that I use my periods of productivity to offset my mentally dead months, but like, lol I don't want to post on reddit. Most especially r/GameDevClassified, but that's so far been the easiest way to at least get some work.

I have actually been getting a good amount of clients from mastodon! That plus returning clients have been pretty good for most of this year, but July is typically where it's kinda of my make it or break it for the year. I don't think I know of anywhere else besides here on lemmy that allows direct self promotion.
