Hey there everyone, first of all thanks to everyone for your support and your lovely messages, I’m working hard every day to improve and create more and more art for all of you to enjoy.
Today I come to you with an important message and a request, I know that this is probably a bother or uncomfortable for many of you so I apologize in advance.
Since a few months ago the company where I worked decided to leave the country (Like the majority of businesses here) because of the strong economic crisis we’re facing as a nation, which I have mentioned before (And don’t worry, I won’t go deep into details because it’ll be long, tedious and repetitive for everyone involved). Long story short, things here are really horrible and they literally get worse daily (In the last couple weeks we had about 150% devaluation, no kidding).
Since now I’m unemployed I have been forced to take odd jobs here to pay my bills, basic needs and what little food I can afford lately, at the moment I’m living rented in a small apartment I can barely pay for in a not so good neighborhood, the situation has been getting steadily worse and more delicate to the point where I don’t even know what to expect of the next few months.
Really by now the only realistic exit I have I to leave this country, but as many of you know migration is really, REALLY expensive and it's becoming harder and harder to save at all and I have less time remaining with each day. Being honest I’m desperate, stressed, depressed, I can’t even properly sleep anymore, this whole thing has made my health take a considerable nosedive so I’m publicly requesting help here again.
I know this is annoying but this is actually my main (And sometimes only) source of income and I really could use some help. This is my Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/doctor_anfelo and there I’m releasing 2-3 sets of exclusive illustrations monthly (Usually each set contains 12-14 artwork pieces, half of which tend to be 18+/NSFW versions). These illustration sets are not published elsewhere and all the artworks are given in very high resolutions. In some special months I also give out Bonus Illustrations, usually extra versions (Included NSFW) of artworks I have published in my main pages (Only patrons get access to the hi-res artworks and extra versions in these cases).
If you cannot pledge and support my work there no issue and I completely understand, however the real reason behind this post is to spread the voice and signal boost this so it reaches more and more persons.
If you know someone interested, let them know, if you can please REBLOG/REPOST this instead of just liking it, because reblogs help more with visibility than likes (Which most have hidden anyway) and someone who might be interested might see it then. If you’re are part of any group or publication that could help me spread the voice by sharing this post or the link to my Patreon, please, do so, I’d be really thankful and at the moment I need all the help I can get before things get to the point where I can’t feed myself anymore.
In the next few days I’ll also be publishing info about commissions, I’m opening them up again for the month (I ask you for a little patience regarding commissions, I’ll have to sort my time between the odd jobs here in Venezuela, my Patron projects and commissions, but I promise I won’t let you down!).
Anyhow, thanks for reading this far. If you cannot or don’t want to share this or spread the voice, don’t worry, no hard feelings and I’m sure that you have your reasons, however if you do share it I want you to know I’m really grateful for your help.
Hope you have a lovely day and again, thanks,
Doctor Anfelo
