One thing that would help me make more art and animations is getting 1,600 views by the end of the year.
Iām already halfway there.
If I make it, Iāll create a brand new animation.
If not, I might not be able to keep going.
This past year has been the most painful of my life. My mom, my best friend and biggest support, is very sick. I lost my grandma, who was half my world. I started antidepressants for the first time and every day feels like a fight to stay afloat.
Art used to be my escape. My peace. But lately, even that feels like itās slipping away.
I spent over a year creating a series of animations, something I truly poured my heart into. It was one of the happiest times of my life. But when I finally shared them, barely anyone saw it. It broke me.
Hereās the video with my animations I posted yesterday:
Iāve never been invited to monetization programs like others and I canāt keep making animations without support. But I still believe in what I do. And I still have hope.
If youāve ever liked my work, please do just one small thing:
Tap Like on the animation video
Leave a comment (even an emoji helps!)
Share it with someone who might enjoy it
Tell me which short animated story is your favourite, or which character stood out to you. The one with the most love might become a sequel.
Every comment, like and share helps more than you think. You matter. Your support matters. And Iāll never forget the people who stood by me when I needed it most.
If you read this far, thank you. Truly. Letās keep going together.
