Hi friends! Last livestream the camera was FULLY funded (THANK YOU!!), so I'm going to move streaming Sugardew Island to NEXT week and work on the illustration on Friday. Also Tutu asked to leave, so we're going on a villager hunt! 

Hi, everyone! I have a sick kiddo home today, so I'll be moving the art/games livestream to next Monday KST. We'll have a shorter Little Nightmares II stream today. 

Also, the camera is 60% funded! I'll be continuing with art/game livestreams at least once a week until the camera is fully funded and work on the piece so that I'll be able to get it printed as soon as possible. I'm so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.  

If you donated, PLEASE fill out the Google Form so that I can keep track of rewards:  https://rb.gy/kd2pjm 

Hi everyone! I'm going to be streaming a combination of art and gaming all next week to help me crowdfund for a new streaming camera and an Elgato Cam Link 4K via Throne:  https://throne.com/theartsygamer  

The goal: to create a cafe illustration filled with Animal Crossing villagers and NPCs that YOU commission!

1. ANY donation will receive a digital copy of the illustration
2. $20 USD will receive a physical copy
3. $50 USD picks a villager/NPC for the illustration

Please donate via Throne only!

If you decide to donate (firstly, thank you!), PLEASE write a private message to me via Throne with your email and/or physical address and the AC villager/NPC. Toggle the "show message publicly" OFF under the gift message. Don't doxx yourself, please! If you're not comfortable with that, I'll have a Google Form available while streaming. Just be sure to put your Throne username down so I know who to credit and thank!

Presently, the camera is 19% funded and the Cam Link is 89% funded. Any donations are very much appreciated but not expected. See you tomorrow! 

Hi friends! A reminder that I will not be streaming this week to take a break and work on other projects. I may stream Wednesday (KST) depending on how I feel, but if you don't see a thumbnail, just assume I'll see you next week. 

In the meantime, let me know in the comments: what are your weekly goals and/or wins? Let's start the week off celebrating our awesome! :)
