Journal Entry:
Wed Feb 22, 2012, 10:51 AM
I just recently put a small widget on the left side of this page labeled "Progress". As the widget says, currently I am trying to raise money in order to immigrate to Canada, where my husband lives.
This money would cover application fees, traveling for interviews, mandatory medical examinations, background checks, and other such sponsorship fees.
This money would also help me relocate myself and my belongings, such as covering the costs of a moving van and border fees at Customs - but this is really the least of my worries. It's all the other stuff that costs so much...
The medical exam alone is 400 dollars, which doesn't even count the transportation TO the exam (there's only 3 designated medical practitioners for this sort of thing in NY). Each fee is another 400-500 dollars, as well. It's all racking up very very fast...!
I'm not trying to turn this into a "pity me!" thing - I'm merely just letting you all know where I'm at right now and why I'm so desperate for commissions.
As such, I'm trying to save up 2,500 USD for this whole ordeal. The Progress widget on the left will be updated whenever I get a new commission, showing how close I am to my goal. For every 500 USD, one those little sad faces in the progress bar turns into a happy face! 8D
All I ask is that you please consider commissioning me, or at the very least spread the word to your friends that I am open for commissions.
All of my commission info if in the widget to the left, labeled "Commissions" (right below the Progress box).
The newest type of commission available is "Rent Me", wherein you choose how long you'd like to rent me for, and I produce as much art for you in that time as I can. This is especially useful if you're looking for several customized chibis, sketches, busts, etc - rather than having to pay for each one, you can rent me for a few days at a lower cost, and I can get it all done for you. More info on those rates are in the Commission box to the left.
The current turn around time for a commission is about one week.
Thanks, guys~ <3
