Hewwo, I'm Luna 💗, a 24-year-old fresh freelance artist trying to make a living from art. Short Backstory: I escaped my home and now I have 0 financial support from my family of blood. I had to sacrifice items like shoes, clothes, books, and more to escape my toxic, abusive and homophobic mother. I'm living with my gf and her family but I have to pay for myself. I don't have a diploma in design/art, but I did study at the TH Nuremberg. I studied 3 years of Animation/Film, 2 years of Illustration and Webdesign, and 1/2 years of Graphic Design/Cast. What I do: I accept commissions like char ref-sheets, portraits, icons, banners, ship art, and NSFW art. I recently discovered my love for FFXIV so I also accept modding work like hair mash-ups, tattoos, combing different skin mods, upscales etc.
Hey you, reader behind the screen checking out my Ko-fi! I welcome you to support me as I'm a struggling artist trying to survive. With my ko-fi, I plan to obtain financial support for my life and my carrier. I have been in therapy for a few years and I'm still unable to work. I'm getting unemployment money and my family has disowned me for being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Due to bullying at university and the abuse I endured from my mother, I dropped out of design college leaving me with no degree. I was diagnosed with ADHD, GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), and Autism very late in my life and I'm getting the medications I so desperately needed growing up. I finally got the answer to my questions, about why I was treated differently, why I was having a hard time keeping and creating connections with people, and why I was outcast by most around me. Despite my traumatic past, I still wish to create art and better myself to become the artist I always wanted to be. However, I'm no longer capable of advertising myself and my craft to others. I lost faith and hope in being able to turn my talents into a full-time job and honestly social media has traumatized me. Art as a job is a privilege. I'm poor and technically homeless, and my art style is very specific. I'm autistic and I don't understand how to network. I'm tired of wasting my time on art when it doesn't pay my bills because I require hours to even finish a portrait alone and it's twice and three times as time intensive if I make something more than a portrait. I have 0 idea of how to achieve my dreams. I wish I had the support and guidance I truly need. I hope as soon as I get a job that supports me financially, I can try and push for creative job opportunities but I don't see this ever happening considering my drop-out and huge time gaps in my resumé.
