I understand wanting to make money doing what you love but I hope she keeps doing it for herself and not just to please the masses.
I hope she won’t listen too much to patrons or editors regarding content/approach. Independent artists tend to have more freedom when studios aren’t breathing down their necks. If it doesn’t feel right and obscures your vision, just leave it.
Happy to contribute when I can. I understand it’s hard for people right now, they want an escape from the crazy and can’t afford luxuries. I don’t know about Taiyaki’s life but I doubt she’s a millionaire. Probably a regular person working a day to day job while making art on the side. Who doesn’t need a little extra income now and again? Besides, maybe if she can earn more she can just focus on making Manga. Who knows, maybe she’ll make freebie one shots for her fans she knows are struggling financially.
Looking forward to more of her works, especially 1 x 1/2.
