Well.. The Namesake Kickstarter reached it’s 7000$ goal! OH MY GOD. You guys. And with only 189 people. I can’t believe how generous everyone was. I’m all crazy happy and touched and… Ack. You guys. What are you doing to me? HUGS FOR ALL.

As promised, here’s the art for the 6000 and 7000 mark! :D

Aw, you guyyyyysssss...

I'm going to cry or something.

Pause

Got a bit tired of drawing Namesake, so I decided to take a Nintendo pause.

:D



The kickstarter has reached over 5000$ (yeah, read that in Vegeta's voice, everybody), which is super AWESOME! Every time we hit a new thousand, I would post a little something on tumblr. Here's what was posted :

Namesake stuff )For those wondering, the fandom artist I mentioned yesterday is doing well and got her first appointment for her operation (aka the one where they poke around to see where they should cut and such). Yay! I'm still amazed by how generous people are, for both her and Namesake.

In completely irrelevant news, I think I might take this evening off from drawing to vacuum and do dishes. Because good god, my apartment look like crap. I love you Namesake, but you're taking over my life right now with your books and stuff.

Well, tonight was cool. I stayed up until 3 am (mostly because of painful cramps) but it allowed me to participate into and witness two cool things. First off, the Namesake kickstarter is doing well. So... yay, we have generous fans!! That's always a nice little boost in the self-esteem department. You guys have the awesome. You have it 10 times over.

Second, I saw on tumblr many reblogs about this popular fandom artist who is basically dying and can't pay for the operation who will save her life. Friends of the artist set up a donation tumblr, and they even got stars of the shows the artist loves to participate and boost the signal and get her in contact with a kind doctor. I was amazed to see that they got almost half the money needed for the operation (which is like... 30 000$) in about a night. The girl's tumblr has been overflowing with support, and she is overwhelmed and adorable. I participated a little myself. 

So, I guess, in short, I saw that people can be very generous to encourage something they love, or just when they feel empathy for someone. Which is cool. A couple of people will never donate to things like these (because why pay when it's free / illness signal boosting might be a scam). But when you see the amount of effort and support people give when they can donate, or when they can't (moral support is also amazing)... I dunno, it makes you feel that stuff is pretty good.

And that the internet is some kind of super hero that can side with good :D
