Hey folks, i got kind permission to post this from the site mods so - long story short i am in DIRE need of upgrading my laptop to something that is actually functional for an artist & designer. My current laptop served me well throughout returning to college but it's seven years old at this point and just can't cope with the stuff i need it to do in order to do my work.
Right now i'm spending at least double the amount of time on projects as I should just because of the technology getting in the way. Hell it takes a good half hour for this thing to power up to the point it becomes actually useful. This morning was the absolute last straw, where i spent an entire morning trying to get a small five minute job done to the point where my stress levels were through the roof.
Money is EXTREMELY tight and while i've been getting some really cool commissions from folks here and elsewhere of late and support on my patreon (Which have both been amazingly helpful!), it's really only just covering my monthly expenses so there is zero possibility of me putting anything aside to save up for new gear.
I absolutely HATE the idea of asking for handouts but at this point i can't really see any other way of getting the money i'll need to upgrade. As such i've set myself up a Gofundme project here to put towards an upgrade.
PLEASE do not feel obligated to contribute to this. I know there are many more worthy causes out there to give money to, and i know everyone is likely to be stretched thinner this year because of the hellscape that is 2020, but if you CAN spare something, it would be massively appreciated.
And hey - better equipment means i can put out more cool art and project for y'all to look at!
Anyway, thank you for your time
I got your back Pyx!! Especially if it means I’ll have more of your art to enjoy.
We will all get some art from you in due time. You have been sharing your talents with us for years. I only wish that I was uber wealthy so I could be the only patron you would ever need. I believe in you. You are a big part of why I’m proud to be a Goodjer.
Can you post a link to your DnD modules and maps? I am eager to run a campaign and figure this would be one way to send money your way.
Hi, pyxistyx
I like your work and value your contribution to this community, so I'm happy to be able to support you.
I hope you achieve your target, and I hope we get to see the fruits of that soon.

I'm in, you probably saw yesterday. Good luck!
You are slightly more than 1/3 of the way there. Keep the momentum going!!!!
Donated. We've been privileged enough to work full time since the first lockdown, meaning we actually saved a lot of money because of canceled vacations, restaurants being closed etc. So glad to give something back to a great cause.
Donated, and I signed up for your Patreon. Love you, love your work. Keep it up!
The Trichy clan has your back.
Donated-- you're getting so close!
I'm so glad I didn't miss the chance to contribute, and just added a little to the pot. As I've said before, I really love your artwork, interpretations and style, Saga. I always look forward to seeing your illustrations in the drawing prompt and post something you created threads. Best of luck with the new setup!
This is the first I've heard of the GWJ fantasy town, I missed that thread altogether. I'll have to check it out.
Congrats!
Grats. Very nice to see.
So happy to hear it!!!
And now for my contribution to this thread. *ahem*
Once you have received your laptop you'll need to put a sticker of a band on the top over or near the brand label in the center. This sticker can either be of a band you absolutely lover OR of a band you think will make you look cool but in actuality know a lot less about than you think you do. If my research into teenage romcoms is accurate, either one will lead to a meetcute.
I admit i did think about offering a piece of art or *something* for every person who donated...
Could I request a multiplayer gaming sesh?
