I need help.
🕑 Added 2024-11-12 21:54:25 +0000 UTCI'm sorry everyone, but this is going to be a lame post.
I need help.
I can't concentrate on making Swords right now, because I need to fix my cash flow. I haven't had a full-time income coming in for a few months now, its damaging my productivity, my mood and my relationships and I am emotionally exhausted all of the time.
If you are New Zealand based and think you can help me find a job, or can offer me something remote, I would love a hand getting my foot in the door.
Here it my portfolio. Frankly if someone can help me fix that up too, I'd appreciate it.
My email is swordscomic@gmail.com
I was hopeful that I could spend this down? time growing my Patreon up to a full-time wage, but as long as I have other promises I need to keep, it's hard to focus on providing a wealth of exclusive content.
The Swords card game faced a bunch of hurdles and while we are so close to a release date, it's been a roadblock stopping me from doing a second Kickstarter for something else which could have helped me out.
I know things are hard for everyone and art is always the first to go when the going gets tough, but helping me get unstuck would mean a lot. I know this sad energy has been seeping into all of my other posts for a while now, but it's not going to be this way forever.
Thank you for being here and being patient with me. I just want to get back to work.
Thank you

While not a job, I know Weta Workshop has an expression of interest up for their Creative Studio. Could be worth checking that out? https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/WetaWorkshop/743999986278493-creative-studio-expressions-of-interest-welcome

Hi there! Like many other commenters, I'm not NZ-based, but would love to give you an extra boost however I can!What's another great way to support you? Do you have a Ko-fi or similar?

Thank you so much! My enemies could use some more misfortune, I didn't even get started on what they've been doing to me lately.

But by becoming hollow, you loose the will to live. you're just a shell of your former self. When i feel down, i watch this video, so i hope it will cheer you up a bit: https://youtu.be/NZ-xZg6n-1w?si=INQx5I2HA1e71dPP

I wish you the best of luck in finding employment, and for my part I would not dream of counting this against you. As many others have said, your own life precedes all other concerns!
Matthew Wills
Thank you! The vibes in Wellington have been atrocious, you're right, haha
Matthew Wills

Aw mate, I've been a fan of Swords for a while and had no idea you were a fellow kiwi. It is rough in Wellywood right now, I'm so sorry it's affecting you and yours. I'm not in any associated industries but I'll keep an ear out anyway. Feels pretty shit to only be able to offer an appreciation of your art and humour but hopefully your post will generate something. Kia Kaha ❤️

Also not in NZ, or in the industry, but I will keep my ears open! Take care of yourself first and foremost, and don't worry about us! You can't pour from an empty cup, and you've been pouring out quality content for a very long time! Step back and take a deep breath, do what you need to do, and we'll be here for you. 💙 Keeping you in my prayers for something to turn up that meets your needs.

Taking care of yourself comes first! I'm not in the art/gaming industry personally, but I'll keep an eye out!

Boost! Not a New Zealander, but I want my Swords guy to have better income. Hire that man. Next viral on imgur, mention this too if you haven't yet.
