Penniless Ragamuffin Project Recovery Project

WHO I AM

Hello, I'm Penniless Ragamuffin, a hobbyist and professional animator.

I imagine if you're here, you might know of my work already, but if not, I'm probably best known for doing animations on Youtube and posting art on Twitter.

 

WHERE I AM NOW

I don't know where to even begin. I've recently been devastated by the loss of my computer due to a failed hard drive. This machine housed many personal projects I had hoped to chip away at in my free time between my animation jobs. From an original animation for Newgrounds, to a small RPGmaker project, to possibly creating more streaming opportunities to make connections with people who enjoy my work... I had many aspirations that all went up in smoke in a single night.

 

I'm heartbroken, but I've decided I'm not ready to give up and let everything go. My goal is to reclaim these lost projects with a recovery service and rebuild everything on a new machine. And I wasn't sure if I could, but I was encouraged to reach out for help, and that's why I'm here now.

 

WHERE I'D LIKE TO BE

Things have been very rough for me lately, but I hope people are still interested in my work and want to see these projects come back to life. Depending on the success of this fundraiser, I could wholeheartedly commit myself to whatever people would like to see; more content for people who enjoy seeing what I create.

If you've made it this far, first of all, thank you for reading. I've always dreamed of creating a fundraiser for my creative projects. I just wish it were under happier circumstances. For those who are able and willing to help out, the funds are going toward the new computer and file recovery service. Lastly, upon a successful fundraiser, I would like to let people who enjoy my work decide what project I focus on. I want to know what you would like to see and then commit myself to creating it.

 

Thank you and stay well,
