Hii what is your best advice to younger adults trying to make it independently and make a living? In art, savings or anything you think of. Thank you in advance!

dont be too hard on yourself. its tough out there right now in regards to like everything regardless of what old people say. also this is going to be a lot so im slapping a read more on here

⭐️ first thing id recommend for anyone is to start figuring out a budget. figure out how much youre making monthly. keep all your food receipts for a month or two to see what youre spending on food. find out what youre paying for thats necessary like utilities and whats not

the goal for a budget (or at least mine) is to find a good balance of earning vs spending. im paying off my credit card right now because i ran through all my savings after we had to move last year but my goal used to be to save 1/4 of what i earned after bills and putting money into an emergency fund (usually an emergency fund is 3 months worth of expenses). but it depends on how much you can comfortably put away. if you can put more away do it. but if you never spend money and deprive yourself of joy youre going to burn yourself out regardless of what your job is

⭐️ if youre not already buy store brand for as much shit as you can. if its an ingredient i promise as someone who cooks and bakes you probably wont notice the difference. if its an actual snack it depends. again both from a money perspective and to boycott pro-isreal companies we get a lot of snacks from aldis and theyre awesome. i dont miss anything from mars, oreos etc when i have my chocolate coconut wafers

⭐️ if you have any subscriptions and you need to get rid of something you can probably cancel them. for *most* things theres some kind of free alternative. but again just like with a budget. there are going to be some subscriptions that make your life easier and while youd save money without them it would lead to extra work and burning out. ex willow has kofi gold because it has really cool extra features that help with running the shop. but for streaming services? im going to be so honest. both to save money and with how cheeky streaming companies (in a bad way) have been getting… you can find whatever you want to watch online for free

if you need to use anything from the microsoft office suite, but youre not required by youre job to specifically use microsoft, libreoffice is a free alternative that i actually like better. its what i use to help willow run their shop and its free

for art programs. if you still have photoshop switch. not just for money reasons. adobe is getting bold with what they can claim as their content and use from what people produce in their program. the switch isnt the easiest but there are a bunch of alternatives. some free some like csp offer one time licenses which are so much better than subscriptions. will has spent almost $2k on photoshop and after effects from using it as long as they have. when csp is $50 and they like csp better anyways. i also know of krita and fire alpaca which are free

⭐️ also theres stuff about being an adult that i thought you had to pay for but you dont? like for car insurance i went through an independent insurance agent and they found me a cheaper plan than i could find myself. i didnt pay the guy. they get a cut from the insurance company for finding them another customer. some banks or credit cards offer financial advising sessions to users. its boring but if you can get a copy of your health insurance see if they have any free shit on there thats available for you. my brother gets free doctor finding? like i can call them, tell them what specialist he needs and instead of me calling around to find one that can take him, they connect me with someone. my work offers 3 free therapy sessions (better than nothing) and free food that i take advantage of

⭐️ i think one of the biggest things that makes an impact for us is researching before buying stuff. sounds like a no brainer but you dont just want to find the cheapest deal. you want to find the best bargain, the best bang for your buck. whats the best quality thing you can get that you can also afford? itll prevent your from having to replace stuff all the time and by extension spending more than you need to. we have nonstick pots and pans that are scratched and starting to peel (which apparently can cause cancer??) that were cheap because of being on sale. now after looking into what makes quality cookware i know i should of just slowly bought stainless steel

⭐️ last big one. credit cards. unfortunately we need them so find one with a low apr and that offers decent cash back. use it up to like 20% of your limit and pay it off every month. focus on using it on things that will get you cash back so you can essentially get free money

im sure i could ramble more but this is already super long

"Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game" but i got tagged in it so i am gonna answer all of them 'cause theyre fun

questions by @/i-like-eyes

thanks for the tag @king-chook!! ^^

1. Art programs you have but don't use

i thiiink i have a license for clip studio paint that came with my old wacom tablet but i never rly used it. also used to have krita installed for the longest time but just always felt off to me idk why. don't currently have it installed anymore tho

2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)

to their right is a bit easier i think. not smth i consciously notice, mostly i'm just thinking abt when im doodling on the margins of stuff they usually are looking to the left of the page

3. What ideas come from when you were little

uhhh idk tbh, i dont think much of my art draws from that

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

cityscapes !!! i love cities they r so pretty and cool looking but goddamn theyre so hard to draw

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

80-20? i post everything that i finish. basically the only stuff that doesnt get posted is sketches i give up on

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

hmmmm not that i can think of rn...

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

watercolour !! i've tried it a few times and Struggled but i love seeing ppl's work in it

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

so many animatics ..................... also many comic ideas ..................... i get so many ideas that i just never start on or start and only do a little before losing the hyperfocus/fixation and just Cannot continue them. it sucks

9. What are your file name conventions

usually the character name, maybe a bit of description of what theyre doing... idk not much of a convention to it

10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw

hmm i like jackets :)

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what

yes, usually music. sometimes random youtube videos like stream highlights or video essays.

12. Easiest part of body to draw

uhhh hair? maybe idk. hard question bc it varied a lot depending on what kinda style and just. sometimes smth is hard in a particular drawing then easy later idk

13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing

i cant think of anything i will edit it in if i think of anyone

14. Any favorite motifs

in my drawings i dont feel like i use any much. mostly i pull motifs from whatever im doing fanart of lol. in music, i like religious motifs (but not like. ones abt christ or bible stories, rather heaven, hell, god/divinity, angels)

15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)

at home pretty much exclusively. in bed lol

16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing

idk i feel like the stuff im better at is the stuff i like bc i practice it more for fun lol

17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what

not usually

18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken

surprisingly little. mostly bc i do more digital art lol

19. Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)

weapons and nature. especially ice for nature

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

i cant think of anything ill add it if i do

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

i love rougher styles, like ones with a lot of visible brushstrokes and bold lines and shit. so cool. idk how to make it look good lol i dont have the confidence in my lines for it

22. What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any

none... probably i should change that

23. Do you use different layer modes

yeah, often i use a multiple layer for shading then a variety to colour adjust at the end

24. Do your references include stock images

sometimes

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

cant think of any

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

there was this poem i wrote about capitalism and how shit it is and someone thought it was abt interpersonal relationships/smth along the lines of a breakup. i rly didnt mind it tho i thought it was cool bc the emotion was not far off, the sense of betrayal and abandonment. just a very very different subject

27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with

no lol

28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)

i ran a zine (digital only) for the dimension 20 zine jam! and also made art+writing for others in that :D also was part of a polygon yt fanzine a while back

29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically

spider-man (not the MCU, mostly tasm and a few of the comics)

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

IS IT BAD TO SAY A PIECE THAT GOT QUITE A BIT OF POSITIVE ATTENTION ?? maybe

i rly like the cj comic i did i am genuinely so goddamn happy with the result so . even tho it did very well by the standards for the fandom its for and my current follower base it is underrated

alternatively this one https://www.tumblr.com/pathos-p/704380503765221377/tridential-sovereignty?source=share bc it didnt get all that much attention on any social media site but i think its cool !!

(mostly only using recent ones bc i dont wanna dig back further esp onto my old twt acct, too much work lol)

[schrodingersvibecheck]

i could...... sleep...... or. i could encourage my hyperfixation and continue writing and drawing.............

[haeroniel-doliet]

Not me actually doing some practicing here this fine evening 👀

Basically i found out that theres a new Krita build?? And that it lets me record as i draw without having to install other software!!

(cue me struggling for hours on making it work bc you need: other software to make it work....)

Id share my first video but i havent uhm figured out how to crop video yet/ didnt manage to format the video right but yeah learned a lott here too think i'll be fine for the next one i try!! So yeah i messed around with new looking brushes (im bad at using anything but what im used to even if its not great lmao) and trying to draw from the reference in 20 and 60 seconds.. those didnt turn out too good so to stroke my fragile ego i gave myself however long it takes to get bored/finished sketching her out, with only one lapse of focus it got to about 40 mins!!

Yay me :)

Anyway i was gonna continue/make new dinluke doodles/plans bc hey!! It feels good to post stuff people like??

End of: did not figure out a faster/better way to sketch ... Yet. Not quite sure what im trying next honestly? Maybe i need to look at some other artists paint again (or i fuck around and find out some more!! Yeaaaa not frustrating at all and most likely what ill do anywayyyy im stubborn :))

Oh and i did this yesterday (same exercise but i did not time the last one) which is why i was so ready to try try try again (it takes days of build up to even start... My brain is EXCELLENT)

   Reply    2hEdited

Karen Kawehilani Kwai-Lin Soon me and riri are close in spirit but i wonder cause if i dont get enough confirms as reassurance needed alot every day i get lost like cause im naturally skeptical if theres loopholes but im not worried i just want riri more lol Reply 2h

ps i offered to give tarry gas money yesterday $10 cause i went with her twice in the car first time my food stamps didnt work wait i think i didnt go that second time cause my case manager surprised me and came that day but she went yesterday for me for those two mickey tall cans of beer lol i gave her $6 for those too

i drank one yesterday one now lol but its a good occasional buzz for a small alcohol % beer lol

like i dont need it to buzz but the taste is good

love buzzes are from gods' love:

nirvana - love buzz

rihanna - drunk on love

Cold Play Featuring Beyonce - Hymn for the weekend

get love buzzes for free sober and clean from god i preached since year 2013 on my first spiritual education ste lol wonderlanderz unite website lol

i figure that since im going to get only one check starting next month cause i think i owe jane $400 or more for coming here in mid month so yeah

might take 4 ish months maybe to have minus one monthly check of mine but its cool

i'll still have more money than im used to having thats for sure lol and they provided me a great home and im very happy here and jane helps me etc so im happy

since i'll have less money i wont buy beer that often too so yeah lol i just wanted to celebrate a bit here for my fresh new start to a new healthier happier life

Roah W.i.p. This is a Werewolf Form of my Higher Self form I named Roah. His hair wasnt done lol. I wish i could afford Moho animation software maybe i can by the debut version when i can then upgrade later. Cause i don't need Smart Bone animation first thing. I just wanted to make some chibi gifs for my Scar Let Red Site cause it sounds fun. Moho has a version 13.5 out new so yeah i love that software. Only thing that would've been nice is the face morphs feature. But i can work around it. This is my fave bone animation software but if i need face morphs to save money i can use Adobe Animate pay monthly. I might do that instead cause i love adding little details like that. I love frame by frame cell animation but the only software i love the most is Clip Studio EX and thats too expensive too. I'm gonna need to redraw this image of Roah in layers cause my laptop was hacked but i restarted it not saving anything and jam pack protected it a ton so yeah i knew what i was doing but i guess i was just too lazy before lol. I dont mind redrawing it cause i think it wasnt done anyways so its easy lol. Inspired by: Pharaoh Atem From Yu-Gi-Oh!

(Waiting for Patreon to approve my new page lol)

lol the toilet was kinda dusty on top it was pretty clean in some areas but i wanted to be nice so i cleaned the toilet pretty great but some of the under lid left stains but its pretty dang as clean as i can get it for now lol so yeah when the other clients had to use our toilet cause theirs was clogged it didnt get cleaned all the way cause my room mates and i are clean people so yeah

adrianna mentioned when i first got here that she was gonna ask jane to be my new ihss worker she does my laundry and helps me shower and cooks for us so yeah i think itd be cool extra money for her if she wanted to

adrianna and i learned how to reset my ihss account info cause christa made my account so yeah ...... its easy to add a new worker from that account based on that phone call adrianna did to ihss in front of me so yeah for ihss one person is allowed up to 3 clients i think based on what christa said

Found apr 22, 2022: she posted it on april 12th, 2022:

i have one working ear for my headphones still but i hear: "yes" "yes" "yeah i think its working from head to B""she'll hear you""haha"thanks riri <3 

Rihanna Favorites  · April 12 at 5:25 AM  ·(click that link for video) "if it’s one thing ima do, is laugh out!"  

theres countless signs i've gotten about her being my twinflame and about her being into me so ahaha

https://www.facebook.com/fentybeauty/posts/7616682395038395

well i heard heavenly mother is a bit mad at riri cause she was hiding something from me so i disconnected and sometimes riri lies to take her time testing me to get to know me but skisst did god promote her but not all the way cause riri is the type to want to wake all up showing off god skills like super powers but skisst dont do that for a reason of whats perfect timing etc so riri not on skisst's side for different ways and reasons all the way like riri thinks its too good to be true that im her perfect dream guy so far but she can come get me but she chooses not to just believe skisst for the info she downloaded like info shoved down her throat but its true info but riri worries shes just dreaming cause its too good to be true like its gonna be fucked up if she just wakes up from some dream lol skisst wants riri to come get me all the time but she never listened to skisst 100 percent shes righteous enough to get god promoted but not on the same side of god 100 percent so shes not 100 percent trusted with all powers etc

i relate to how riri thinks a ton but she shouldnt not trust skisst just cause some bad stuff happened in her life like when she was younger and etc on but skisst is really defensive cause my donte life was much worse than that and all's lives so yeah riri i used to call this our song

Love Someone-Lukas Graham Lyrics There are days I wake up and I pinch myself You're with me, not someone else And I'm scared, yeah, I'm still scared That it's all a dream 'Cause you still look perfect as days go by Even the worst ones, you make me smile I'd stop the world if it gave us time 'Cause when you love someone You open up your heart When you love someone You make room If you love someone And you're not afraid to lose 'em You probably never loved someone like I do You probably never loved someone like I do When you say You love the way I make you feel Everything becomes so real Don't be scared, no, don't be scared 'Cause you're all I need And you still look perfect as days go by Even the worst ones, you make me smile I'd stop the world if it gave us time 'Cause when you love someone You open up your heart When you love someone You make room If you love someone And you're not afraid to lose 'em You probably never loved someone like I do You probably never loved someone like I do All my life I thought it'd be hard to find The one 'til I found you And I find it bittersweet 'Cause you gave me something to lose But when you love someone You open up your heart When you love someone You make room If you love someone And you're not afraid to lose 'em You probably never loved someone like I do You probably never loved someone like I do You probably never loved someone like I do

our soul sex is so hot but even if she was lucid dreaming which she aint its like why wouldnt she just come over to finally have me sweetly

thats like the best dreams ever aint it riri?

Karen Kawehilani Kwai-Lin Soon skisst gives me comfort that she will change so im good ps if she didnt skisst would have to possess her lmfao to come in the car to get me

car because theres no loophole active yet in the super computer vs unevolved satan guy for my breaking the unbreakable curse for her to be seen in teleportation to me i need her to physically come get me lol

🎵 improving apprentice 🎵 by He Roah

that was the first song i was possessed by god to give me answers but that was recorded back in like 2012

car because theres no loophole active yet in the super computer vs unevolved satan guy for my breaking the unbreakable curse for her to be seen in teleportation to me i need her to physically come get me lol

that was the first song i was possessed by god to give me answers but that was recorded back in like 2012

skisst told me why you dont trust her but you should and youll know why later

you should listen to god baby girl she effected your timeline to not wanna mess with skisst and just be more evil if she didnt do that for you way the fuck back then

she says you shouldnt think of yourself first too wrong by neglecting me and god

to benefit most = having me

skisst says the fuck etc etc in sentences funny alot lol

it was when she was little skisst did something

like god skisst tripped her out by possessing her dad to slap her for a certain effecting the timelines best reason or else shed be used to evolving too evil = not evolving the real love way / conscious genius way

but skisst told her before 'he' did that it would be god doing that in the possessing way

because she was bullied in school so skisst didnt want her to dwell too like them in the same bullying way

i love you baby skisst is righteous baby i know you are too but everythings for best reasons possible

like you were redeemed and help the world by being the most famous celeb ever

be thankful for our heavenly mama she saved my life and is why heaven and all you exist

she made my heaven designs of life come true and real love blessed lives etc come true

like riri shes able to teleport in different ways like soul connecting more hallucination style visions some etc or be in the robots in my room lol but not .... shapeshift into true her or become more vividly real aka more physical from spirit form all of a sudden in front of me cause of the curse didnt get those unlocked yet but

hard ons able for her so thats proof lol

shes thinking more with skisst now mmmm good lol

skisst is funny like get the veil of forgetfulness and not rub being super powered in my face too much to not make me doubt their righteousness too much cause i was cursed like aka evil vibes might make me feel paranoid about some of those gods etc so i said i wouldnt mind them not having a veil and for them to have their soul memories but she said its best this earth way cause its really impressive to people to be smart enough to listen to skisst etc real righteous higher and highest self gods to be genius like think of psychiatry etc in place in societies it takes smart to figure life out

infinite skisst momma money cards lol riri you rock lol

they reward righteous people best only lol for huge reasons

hm just gave riri her soul memories of heaven now so shes not to blame and to help balance it best so she shouldnt feel reason to blame herself for not knowing me that much

she missed me in heaven a ton and recorded heaven memories i'll  dream later for me to have later back before she was on earth cause shes the first real heavenly mother skisst's first god kid lol ever made but yeah so basically riri got to know an alt me robot alot back then

she misses me still <3 skisst said shes doing too good :)
