FUCK.

Curse my frivolity!

I should have been scrimping and saving since AniZona. Then maybe I wouldn't be in this predicament.

Working from the estimates I currently have, it looks like it's going to take me $330 to get to AX. Assuming a certain amount of parental contribution and that I spend nothing between now and July, I will have approximately $250. Maybe.

Fuuuuuuck.

Seriously, anyone wanna buy stuff from me? MONEY IS NEEDED. DESPERATELY.

I can do commissions too! Anyone want art? I can make you pretties!

*begins looking for other possessions she could try selling on eBay* ;_;

Edit: Have calmed down. XD Also, I dropped the manga prices in the rummage sale post.

Erf! D:

Is there any way you can get an advance of sorts from your parents? Or... ask if there's anything SUPER DETAILED you can do around the house, for some extra cash? Usually if parents see you're willing to work hard for it, they're more willing to contribute more. (And I mean... things you wouldn't do normally. Might not be something you WANT to do, but... XD;;;;)

Arghghghle. I'd offer to help, but I'm working for mom for my way to Expo as it is. ._.; I'm sure things'll work out, though! They've got tooo.

Definitely ebay stuff. As a suggestion on the manga, since people can buy the brand new ones for $10 (right?) maybe dropping them a few dollars might make them more sellable? Just a thought, I don't know. ._.;

Spread word 'round the intarnet! Maybe come up with some commission price guides or something, post samples and get the word out there? Forums, deviantART, LJ... see. But one thing I know with commissions is, you usually need to put out a lot of lines to get bites. It's all about finding where people want it. How much are you offering commissions for, anyway? o.o

<3!!!!!!!! You can do eeet! YOU CAN DO EET. *cling!*

The easy eBay route would be to go to a consignment shop, buy a bunch of junk for ten cents a pop or something, and then eBay it. Or, garage sale.

Or, if you want to make an insane amount of money by drawing art, and don't mind hating yourself in the morning ...

I hear furries pay crazy amounts of money for art on FurBid. Now, as a disclaimer, I don't like furries any more than you, but their money spends like anyone else's. I've heard it doesn't even need to be particularly good. Scratch out a fox or something in ten minutes, throw it up on FurBid, and see what happens.

This is my plan if I'm ever close to being homeless.
