Trying To Return, Commissions Open

So yeah, trying to make a return. I seem to keep coming back only when cash is tighter than normal, so, yeah...

First the update:

Things have been busy, VERY busy, lately. Last semester of college, FINALLY, after way too many issues, including the fall semester involving an asshole with a bloated ego, and unfortunately tenure, doing his level best to fail me out of racism, and escaping punishment, unless you count his attempt to fail me being foiled a 'punishment'. I'm still waiting for retaliation.

The good news, Zoomin.TV didn't can me over the delays the CPU dying caused in uploads, and have actually done a LOT to make trying to make youtube vids easier. They scare off most copyright claims up front, though Hasbro insists my attempts to create a react series are grounds for stealing my monetization. They also pay WAY more than google adsense ever did. Which is to say google doesn't pay til you make a hundred bucks, AT ALL, while Zoomin at least pays out monthly, though it's only a couple bucks on a good month. Despite viewership and subs slowly climbing, so has adblocker use. For the lognest time I admit to being oblivious to just how damaging adblocker is on sites like youtube, but now I see the numbers. My RWBY react series, by and large my biggest success, has brought in THOUSANDS of views each week, but I have seen TOTAL under 500 monetized views. We're talking single digit percentages of revenue generation.

So yeah, that's depressing, but at the same time it's hard to get mad. So many sites spam the worst kinds of ads EVERYWHERE, even when they don't need to, that adblocker is kind of a way of life at this point.

I've once again tried to find work around this town, but a small town plus a large student population means the jobs are all spoken for. I'm still looking, but yeah, things don't open up till graduation, when I'd hopefully be gone anyways.

So, between STILL trying to pull myself out from this past summer (and before), and more recent crap going on, I've gone from tight breathing room to living on borrowed time (financially at least). At least I had managed to get away with things for a little while, but that seems over for now. For those of you reading this who I've talked with for some things, I'm not cancelling any commitments, but unless there's a change what's in the pipe will probably be it.

So yeah, that's where I am, which is why I'm doing both written, as well as the usual video, commissions.

COMMISSIONS

Please note me concerning any commissions.

Written Commissions

So, for the written stuff. I'm probably gonna have to put some stuff up here again, since what's here is in NO WAY indicative of how I write now.

Prices will be based on subject, length, type, ect, so to be discussed in notes.

Can script videos, scenes, comics, write chapters, short stories, one shots, blogs, reviews, you name it.

While a full list of 'no-gos' will be written up soon, the short version is:

I reserve the right to decline, examples of reasons why includes (but are not limited to): pedo, rape, abuse in general, no pay (you'll get more 'coverage/views' is not legit pay).

Use of characters is on the commissioner, I expect in writing acknowledgement that I am not responsible for copyrighted material.

Video Commissions

My youtube should be a good place to start for what I'm capable of, though admittedly it's mostly limited to the kinds of projects I do myself:

I can create ads, music vids (will not take copyright responsibility), edit animations, even do comic dubbings, such as this one:

Please note, for things such as dubbings, I will stick to your parameters, but again I stress, I will not take responsibility for copyrighted material, and will expect your acknowledgement of this in writing.

-----------------------

So yeah, that's that.

I still have a patreon, which mercifully trickles in a little bit: www.patreon.com/nikolai60?ty=h

Though, as always, the easiest way to help even just a little is to take the time to turn off adblock and head to my channel.

I guess that's it for now, with any luck I will manage to actually STAY active on this site for once. Hopefully updates, actual deviations, and in general RESPONDING, to come.
