• Help A Friend Whose Getting Screwed By Her Medical Bills?
    65 replies, posted
A friend of mine is really struggling with medical bills, and I would appreciate it if you could help her: [release] Commissions are open! I have a pretty big medical bill! Please pass along if possible! After a bike accident, I had to go to the emergency room and get my leg looked at. That was eight months ago, and apparently the hospital just recently informed me that I needed to pay more money to them, because my insurance could not covermore than what they did. I’m not entirely sure what I’m paying for since I paid for the X-Rays, the crutches, the brace, and the shot. I’m going to find out on Monday (I can only call on weekdays), but in the meantime, I still owe about $880.00 to the hospital and I make very meager retail wages while paying for my rent, phone bills, and… haha… my medical insurance. I can’t get a third job because I already work six days a week. I can’t ask my parents because they have money issues of their own. Thankfully I don’t have to pay the $880 all in one go, so I’m going to call about monthly payments. The least I can do right now is try to get some commissions. Any amount helps really, I know it’s after the holidays and everyone is short on cash, but even something small would help me out big time. I will take fanart/guro/nsfw and I can also use different mediums (coloured pencil, markers), just email me or put it in my ask! If you have any questions at all, please ask me! Reference chart: Sketches - $3 Small, rough drawings like so: [url]http://i.imgur.com/J6LT3.png[/url] Lineart drawing, no colour - $7 A simple, small drawing with one or two characters, $2 for any additional characters, like so: [url]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh3nm0L2SN1qe9bi5o1_500.jpg[/url] [url]http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgwdfdKy5L1qe9bi5o1_500.png[/url] [url]http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgvzm8ZdJg1qe9bi5o1_500.jpg[/url] Coloured drawing - $13-17 (more for shading or complex creatures/characters) Medium-sized drawing with somewhat simple lineart and colour, with additional characters for $4, like so: [url]http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lktbvaK3YV1qe9bi5o1_500.jpg[/url] [url]http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqrab52L0r1qe9bi5o1_500.jpg[/url] [url]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu4ma1qIe21qe9bi5o1_500.jpg[/url] [url]http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx542hZwPG1qe9bi5o1_500.png[/url] [url]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk1gxyre001qe9bi5o1_500.png[/url] Complicated/more finished looking drawings - $23 and above, negotiate with me! Please ask me any questions regarding commissions! [url]http://i.imgur.com/Hd36e.jpg[/url] [url]http://i.imgur.com/sgg3j.png[/url] etc etc [/release] Her website: [url]http://woahkicks.tumblr.com/[/url] This is someone who lives on her own, has to work two retail jobs, barely has any freetime for herself, and is just trying to make ends meet. Doesn't even need to be commissions really, donations are appreciated. [editline]7th January 2012[/editline] Here's one of her other styles too. I can't promise you she can do something THIS detailed, but this is the kind of artist you'd be commissioning: [img]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs46/f/2009/202/0/4/0494aefb3267dd8bef4846a5d4a59953.jpg[/img]
Her webcam on Deviant Art looks amazing
[QUOTE=G-foxisus;34092873]Her webcam on Deviant Art looks amazing[/QUOTE] iawtc. Her female nudes are really really good too.
I wish her something more valuable than trivial things such as 'money' and 'health'; I wish her luck.
[QUOTE=gamefreek76;34093020]I wish her something more valuable than such trivial things such as 'money' and 'health'; I wish her luck.[/QUOTE] Avatar fits.
On a sidenote, she also has Steam you can ask her for on tumblr if you want to add her or negotiate with her. She can't really play a lot of games because a.) no free time and b.) her boyfriend hasn't finished fixing her computer up yet. But she has KF and L4D2 and a few other games and we play together now and then.

She does sound like a nice girl n' all, but (aside from the puke/gory deviant art images; [B]wtc[/B]) she seems like the average "internet" goer/artistR. i think she'll fit right in the GM section Anyway, I might have something I could donate
she should do more stuff like this [img]http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_luz4jobill1qe9bi5o1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&Expires=1326047341&Signature=GRk6MeLHEmG4DZjhfghjdRQyWxs%3D[/img]

She usually plays KF once a day, although sometimes she's not on for 2 or 3 or more days at a time. As for her gaming habits, she's neither casual or gurl gamur. She isn't a fan of CoD, TF2, or games like RO2 (despite my attempts to get her into it :V ). But she likes stuff like BioShock, Recettear, Fallout, KF, Amnesia, L4D2, Dead Island, among others. I know she also plays on 360 a lot, but I only sorta know what she plays on there. I like how some of her art is just zany, but, tbqh, I'm not crazy about guro either. Some of my friends occasionally post horror movie clips or even real-life, "non-violent" guro on tumblr and it gets me kinda sick. I can stomach gore in games but real life or movies, well, that just gets me. But she kinda reminds me of Rebecca Sugar more than anything, tbqh. But yeah, we'd all love it if you could donate something. Hopefully the bill's issue won't be as bad, but, I know that she's been constantly hosting commissions on craigslist.
It looks like she plays Dark Souls and dat kickin rad

[QUOTE=G-foxisus;34097335]can donate videogames and coupons short on money too sorry If she likes RTS, I've got a good one for her.[/QUOTE] You should get in touch w/ her anyway. She's rather modest but I'm sure she would appreciate it, especially since she's been unable to really buy anything for herself on account of spending money on gifts for others. [editline]7th January 2012[/editline] Plus she could always sell the game for actual $$$
This is one reason why universal health insurance is good

God damn it. I would commission something but I have no ideas. I wanna help but I want a picture as well.
[QUOTE=Raptor;34097425]This is one reason why universal health insurance is good[/QUOTE] I don't even know why people are upset about Obamacare. Oh wait, I do. It's because people are too ignorant to understand that, without health care reform, shit like this happens [b]every day[/b]. [quote]God damn it. I would commission something but I have no ideas. I wanna help but I want a picture as well. [/quote] I understand what you mean. I'm actually unable to commission something even though I really want one for my 18th birthday. It's complicated, have to wait until I go to college since we're online friends. I have a few ideas for some commissions though if you want.
By the way, is there anything specifically that you would like her to do that isn't in the commission slot? Again, I can't promise you, but I can try to talk to her about doing some special requests. I know she's done (both sidewalk and non-sidewalk) graffiti in the past, as well as some ceramic-type stuff iirc.
I quite like her Art, please send your friend my regards and i will pray for her good fortune.
Aye, will do
I'll see about getting the money that was collected in my name (that was due to go to charity but hasn't been able to be sent) donated to her, should be somewhere between $500-$550. It's been sitting around, waiting to go into a charity, but I think it going towards someone who needs the help right now, is a much worthier cause.
I would love to help, but I'm a bit on the broke side from winter vacation drinking.

Holy shit, that's incredible. I know personally I've had some bad experiences with charities. Our school did a massive campaign for "Pennies for Peace," only to find out that the organization funnels most of their donations back into marketing. iirc Some of the creator's story was fabricated as well.
She looks... familiar... Hmmm... Something is telling me I've seen/met her before. /timeparadox Oh well, I'd love to commission something, but I do not know what I would ask of her. I will think on this.

Update on the going-ons: [release]STILL TAKING COMMISSIONS WILL DRAW PORNOGRAPHY AND FANART AND OCs FOR MONEY YES THAT’S RIGHT I WILL DRAW HOMESTUCK AND ADVENTURE TIME AND MLP AND ALL THAT STUFF AND I WILL MAKE IT LOOK VERY NICE FOR YOU I PROMISE I WILL DRAW YOUR CUTE FURRY CHARACTER BECAUSE IT’S FUN TO DRAW and I really need the money for that hospital bill :c Please no one on tumblr has even responded to me [/release] None of my tumblr friends have reblogged my reblog for her either. This feels really bad.
Also i'm gonna sound abhorrent here and go out on a limb and say that the whole steam account thing is fishy.. I would commission a scout drawing since i'd love a custom avatar but i'm a bit skeptical.

To be honest the only reason why I didn't post her account here is because I'm not sure if she wants it sent around. I didn't see it readily available on her tumblr so I'm not sure how she feels about random adds. I can totally see the skepticism in the whole issue, especially because the end sum is a large amount of money. But I can always get you in contact with her if you're concerned.

[QUOTE=Drsalvador;34152017]No. I'm more skeptical that the account is actually yours in disguise that you're using to farm stuff.[/QUOTE] I can't draw that good :v:. And even the greatest of internet scam artists wouldn't stoop so low as to drawing ponies for bronies! But, again, if it's a huge concern of yours I can setup a three-way Steam chat or invite you to a game of KF so. One or two of my other Steam friends have also met woahkicks irl, and I know they can vouch that we're two different people and that she's legit with the leg injury.
