oh my god
I could legitimately quit my job with this much coming in. Meaning much, much more time spent on art! With all the benefits that brings!
All of my problems solved forever
I CAN ONLY HOPE
Like, I could probably live comfortably wherever I want with this, while doing whatever I want. This is my dream.

Hi, I'm Trout.
I started drawing in late 2012, foraying into the world of art using only the trackpad of my beat-to-hell macbook. Starting on tgchan.org I drew quests, interactive stories about dragons and fantasy worlds, spun silly tales about russian conscripts in a world not quite like our own, and made fun of the games industry. My art evolved and prospered, first with my discovery of the miraculous things called layers (they were a pretty big deal to me), and then with the purchase of my first tablet, a dinky little thing from a company I can't even remember the name of. Among other things, I discovered how to vary my line widths, and how to execute long, curvy, and precise lines perfectly. Drawing a straight line still escapes me, however.
From there I delved into the furry community, making mad loads of commission money (or dirty furry money, as I call it) and using the opportunity to expand the range of my art and the breadth of my content. I learned how to use color, and how to imply shapes and objects and features without ever drawing a line. I continued my storytelling through more quests, occasional visits to 4chan's /tg/, and hand-drawing comics. I've even dabbled in animation and programming! The years have seen me improve, through my efforts, in more ways than one.
Every day, my the things I draw-- kobolds, dragons, my own characters, and everything beyond-- reach dozens of new people a day. They call my art cute, adorable, and even sometimes sexy, depending on the content. And all through it, with every new favorite on FurAffinity or reblog on Tumblr, I am humbled and grateful. I remember my roots, where I came from, and how the long hours of work I've put in have brought me to where I am today.
Pledging to me helps me continue to do what I do. I attend classes and work part-time, and often I don't have the time or energy to produce my art. With every dollar, I can put more time and effort toward my art, and put out more and more content! Isn't that exciting? I want to draw just as much if not more than people want to see more art from me.
Funds from pledges will go to costs of living and quality of life stuff. My job is enough to support a basic standard of living, and the money I make from my art goes toward my hobbies, such as cooking and videogames-- as well as having a safety cushion should money get tight, something that's happened a few times before. My current living condition is more or less financially comfortable, but emotionally difficult so I would like to leave it. My ultimate goal for this patreon is to leave my situation and find a better place to stay. If this were to happen, I could not possibly express all the joy and gratitude I would have for those who pledge to me.
So, hi. I'm Trout. I draw stuff.
Thank you for reading and considering to help me out.
