I shared my comics with my family a while back, and was like "sorry for all the gay sex and stuff," and my mom looked at me scornfully and said "but they're about LOVE!" and whenever I start feeling a little prudish about my own work nowadays, I think of that moment and get humbled

I've been doing video game VO since 2003. In my 20+ years, only ONE game has ever paid "royalties/residuals/bonus payments."
That game?
Date Everything.
And that's ONLY because it's a game produced by professional voice actors who purposefully created a special contract for the game w/ SAG-AFTRA.

Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.
They will tell you no. They might even laugh.
Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.

Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?
Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.

Going to put a pause on commissions at the moment before I get too overwhelmed. Donations are always appreciated though!
‼️Emergency Commissions‼️
I know times are rough for everyone (including those of us on SNAP benefits) but I could really use the funds. The “Pay what you want” option has been lowered to $25 for the time being.
Shares are appreciated! Thank you~🖤
