Donations are never a requirement of any kind. They are supplemental. They are a surprise of sorts. Perhaps you were super impressed with something, or wanted to go beyond buying a piece of art or merch and give me something directly.

You get direct recognition via a video for the donations or tips that come in. This is my way of saying thank you.

Most of what I need to pay for in terms of assets and software are being taken care of through merch and other sales. But donations can make things much, much easier! It can help pay for other bills in my life and can allow me to splash out on gear I otherwise wouldn't have been able to acquire.

This, would be super cool and highly appreciated.
