bladesparkWell, Fluttershy ended. $822. Which at least bumps it up over minimum wage for my sewing time, though without taking into account all the time I've spent taking photos, posting, advertising, etc. But eh. Decent, in any case.
Oh, and to those of you who kept insisting, over and over, that I would make thousands off of this... I really hope that someday there's something seemingly impossible that you want very badly, and people around you tell you that it is possible, and you're going to get it, and then in the end you don't, so you know exactly how I feel right now. So very many people said it that despite all my arguing, I'd almost started to believe it really could happen. Well, it didn't. And so now instead of being happy I got what I first reasonably expected, I'm sad because I didn't get what I was lead to hope for.
The Disney ending DOESN'T always happen out here in the real world, and when you go "Oh don't be so negative, I'm sure you'll get what you want" or "You're bound to get it, you deserve it" you're not actually doing anybody any favors. You're just setting them up to crash harder by making them expect things that aren't by any means guaranteed. It's the exception, not the rule, for people to get what they deserve.
Oh, and next time you want to tell me I deserve thousands, have the fricking money in your hand and be willing to spend the thousands yourself, otherwise shut up.
Anyhow, I'll leave it at that and not rant on any more. I am fairly satisfied with this result, but I will NOT be doing any more pre-mades for a very long time, I have too much else on my plate, and it's really not worth the bother if I'm not going to make any more money than a regular commission would bring in.
