i didn't post this on New Years because its only a silly doodle lol but i think it deserves to be part of my New Year art tradition so im posting it on the actual Chinese New Year for once lol (in Japan they celebrate NY on december 31 but they also use the zodiacs so that's what i do too)
I HAVE SOME NEWS!! :D i haven't talked that much about it here i think but a year ago my landlord started the process of selling the house i live in, the plan was that we were gonna continue living here so we helped her with the whole sale, it was an extremely long and stressfull process, with her trying to terminate our leases in the middle of it bc she thought it would be easier to sell but she still expected us to keep helping her 🙃🙃 and eventually the people who bought it wants us out anyway.. lol we could fight them on it but we've lived here for 9 years and it just feels like its time to move on...and after some very stressful months i have FINALLY FOUND AN APARTMENT! I MOVE IN ONE MONTH!! ahhhhhh 🥳🥳🥳🥳
its a really cool building owned by artists only 10 min from town and 5 min from Lidl by bus XD and it has a dishwasher!! :D im really excited and i cant wait to be able to relax and focus on my art after being in survival mode for a year 😭
moving is expensive and ive set up a little crowdfunding goal on my Ko-Fi
i will do doodles for donations 💖
and ive also added a new tier here if anyone really wanna help me out haha 😩its so hard to make a living of comics on the internet nowadays...Webtoon doesn't pay me barely anything anymore and Tapas EA is good but i don't really have the traffic there :') so it's kinda like Patreon or nothing..im bad at promoting myself hehe but i would like to get back up here to a point so i don't have to do so many commissions every month :3 i want nothing more than for SE;ki updates to get back to normal :') any amount really helps me out alot :3
i love you guys! thank you for making it possible for me to do art for a living! Many kisses for you!
XOXO Rukan ✨
