Shantae's RideA

Rating Details

This one has been a pretty significant step up in scope and editing.

Subject matter chosen by my lovely patrons. Rouge the Bat is next... assuming there is time and energy for a "next."

So, about that... Please read! 🙏

We are in a really bad spot.

The state has cut off my unemployment funding way, way earlier than I'd expected.

We need income. Desperately. My partner is disabled and stuck in the typical US legal purgatory that kills people. The job market out here for anything that'll even begin covering our bills is not promising. This art thing is all I have.

So, I am releasing the Shantae animation for free way ahead of schedule. And here's why:

One pirated upload of this animation on one single website has 25k+ views and a wildly positive reception.

If even 1% of those viewers gave me the two bucks a month I'm asking for on Patreon, my needs would be met for the foreseeable future. I could commission VAs to make future work better, and I could back off on commissions to get that work out more frequently.

$2500 a month. That's the bare minimum I need to keep doing this the way I have been. That at least keeps us housed and the lights on and the water running. I don't need it all from one person. That's not sustainable anyway. But, if I can get just a bit of help from the audience my work clearly does have, it would not only allow me to keep doing what I love for a living, but also to be at home for my wife who increasingly needs help even just getting around the house.

Any help you can offer, including getting more eyes on this, is greatly appreciated.

Please support me if you can. The little things really add up.
