I was unexpectedly let go from my job at the zoo, and was completely devastated for the the next few days.
My good friends on DA then suggested that I should sell my art, and so I made all of my existing Artworks and Animal Photographs into prints that are available right now. You can also get them as Mug Designs, Magnets, Coasters, Greeting Cards and much more.
This is basically the short version of what I wrote in a full journal.
If you would like to read more details about the situation, the journal about it can be found right here.

It would be much appreciated if any of you can help me out in anyway possible.
If you can contribute, then I would be grateful! But if you can’t contribute, you can still help me out by spreading this journal around to let other people know of my situation.
I thank all of you in advance who will help me out in my time of need! You’ll forever be in my debt!
Any help at all is much appreciated! I’m also doing commissions as well as auctioning off some of my older MLP art.
Thank you so much for your help!
Thank you, Ice! I hope so too.
Thank you for your hope at least! That always counts.
Then I just got to hope for the best then.
My characters are not Ponies, they are Antelopes and other African Animals, but their style is inspired from the show itself. So people may still like it!
I used to offer print sales but no one bought anything so I stopped.
And then I started doing pony and for a while I felt dirty to consider selling what wasn’t something original to myself.
Thank you for your kind words! That would be awesome on my part if this got more coverage. I need all the help I can get right now, and that would be more then enough to help. Thank you, NotMetaB!
D.A. for as long as I’ve been on it, has the option where you can sell your art as prints and then actually get money from it which you can then transfer to your Paypal account or whatever account you possess. That is what I set up myself, so then I can take what I earned and put it into my bank account through Paypal and actually save up money over time from the selling of my art.
It kind of sounds complicated, but it’s really easy. No one has bought anything yet from me, but I’m still hopeful that there’ll be someone out there who would like a Print or a Magnet with my art on it.
