Friendly reminder to donate to the small indie resources
If you use a free art software like Krita or GIMP
If you use free and open source 3D software like Blender
If you use a free resource like PureRef, Quickposes, or AdorkaStock
If you use a free game-making software like Renpy, Twine, or GBStudio
Your favorite digital brush makers, like Devin Elle Kurtz
Your favorite free font makers, such as Blambot
A lot of these are made and maintained by one person or a small team of people, who likely have day jobs and other responsibilities, but also create these resources for us to use.
Obviously these are all free to begin with for a reason. So you don't need to feel guilty using it if you can't afford to donate.
But If you can afford just $5 or $10 dollars, show the creators of your favorite free software your thanks. Remember that there are real people behind these resources who make them free and open source out of the kindness of their own hearts. It's easy to forget the human behind the screen.
