Begining Operation Exodus

Hello my lovely mofos! ouo

Hope you guys are doing well ^^

Long time without making a journal thing, i am not the type who makes journals at every second to be honest, unless if is something important, and this time... well, it is something important.

This year is about to end, we are only at one month and a half for that, and 2019 was... difficult to say the least, full of setbacks and troubles and luckily i was able to deal with those problems the best way as possible... however, the situation on my country (Venezuela) has got worse and worse, and it seems that no matter what happends, this thing is not gonna end, so far the country it's a failed state and people is trying to survive how they can (me amount the those few ones) i thought that if working hard and enduring the whole situation, i could survive here until things changed for the better.

However... well... for those who don't know, i got sick, up to the point that for a moment i really thought that i was going to die, well, i am feeling much better now, so no worries ^^ but that experience... was like a warning shot for me, and i don't think that i can't stay here anymore, which is something very frustrating for me, yeah... the country is fuck up, but i love my house, it's comfy, nice and it has everything about what you would want from something that you call "home", but in reality... it's like living inside in a "golden cage" that is on big pile of shit.

After thinking about it for so long... it's time to leave, so far, i am planning to go to Colombia, but i am not going to stay there for too much time neither, maybe a few months at best, i got some friends that used to live here with me in the same neightberhood and managed to stablesh over there and they can give me a hand went i get there which is very good. My goal is go to Europe, as far away as possible from South America... yeah, Venezuela is in a fuck up state right now, but being honest, the whole latino continent it's also fuck up, not as Venezuela thought, but still, i want to go somewhere where i could develop myself better as an artists.

Colombia would be like the first step, i am planning to go to a drawing school and get some lessons about how to improve my drawings skills, some might say that i draw very good, but the true is that, i need to improve alot more, theres alot of things that i need to polish in my style, i am planning to make comics about the stories that i have in my head, but in order to make them look as good as possible, i need to push my drawing skills to the next level and beyond that. Also, in Colombia i want to learn some languages, like German, Russian and French, so went i arrive to Europe, i wouldn't be so "lost". For some reason, i am good at learning those things, i mean... i learned english by myself xD also, theres my health problems, i really want to get myself "fixed" over there, since here in Venezuela the health care system doesn't exist, mostly people go to the hospitals in order to die in a bed... which is sad.

However, before making that jump, theres some stuffs that i need first, so far, i have spend more than a year without a cellphone, and if i want to travel, i seriously need one, plus, my laptop is starting to fail me in these last weeks... sure i could send it to some computer store so it can be fixed... if theres where one in my town... so, i need to get those two things first. Fortunaly, i found a store in another city where they sell the stuffs that i need in a good price, and also they accept paypal as a payment method which is a plus! ^^

I need around 400$ in order to buy those two things, and around 500$ for the travel to Colombia... it's alot, but i feel that i can achieve that goal if i work hard enought, some of my friends suggested me to open a Ko-fi account and get some donations, or a pay.me link too, i will think about it, since... not much people will actually donate something to me to be honest.

I want to focuz all my efforts on the remaining commissions that i have at the moment, before opening extra slots for new clients to arrive, the good thing is that i got some people willing to get a commission from me right now... but i am not sure if will be wise to do that, yeah, i would manage to get more money, but i would be too pent up with commissions.... i am still trying to think about how i should proceed.

So far, the list goes like this:

Sephzero: A full TF comic.

Ovidious Naso: A TF sequence.

Thunderstar01: 3 drawings left

Ulimitated Fortress: 2 Character sheets.

Toni987: 1 drawing left

Assaultcat: a YCH series.

I got 6 clients right now, i could open 4 extra slots for those who are willing to accept a commission from me, and so, having 10 slots in total, which it would be my limit, but i seriously need to think about it... i will decided went i post the updated version of my commission price list on DA alongside with the client list. Is like a "Risk Reward" thing from the looks of it.... also, as a side note, i am working on a "joint operation" with some friends of mine, you allready saw a few pics about it, my work is to polish the script of a comic and work on some character desings for this dude  https://www.deviantart.com/nathan123qwe   he has a very ambitious project if you ask me, plus he is paying me a percentage of his patreon income, which is nice ^^ and also i am learning a bunch about how make stories and scripts which it will help me out alot went the time comes to make my own comics -3-

Well... that's all for now people, stay safe and healthy people ^^
