Dragoneer begging for cash for a new tablet

[Conan]

The old saying "A fool and his money are soon parted" seems to be proving itself true again, as Dragoneer has opened a GoFundMe so he can buy a new tablet. Please note that HIS WIFE may be also using it, because neither he or Sciggles can post anything anymore without reminding everyone they are married. Donations are rewarded with some great Dragoneer Merch, perfect for anyone who wants to tell the world how much of a dumb idiot they are.

It's worth noting that the first 6 donations so far have all been over $100. I'm sure they'll see their Dragoneer patch and artwork sometime in the next 2 4 ? years.

I'm actually surprised, somehow. For some reason I didn't expect even neer could be this shameless.

If he was smart, he'd have added in an extra ten to fifteen percent to cover the first few electrical bills. If the Cintiq is the range I'm thinking of (the giant touch-interactive monitor) it's going to their new largest expense. As far as I know Computers require a hell of a lot of power just to render graphics onto the monitor. It's why decreasing resolution makes things exponentially faster to run more higher-end games if lowering settings isn't cutting it.

If there's one surprizing thing about this, it's that I didn't know Dragoneer draws. I thought he just always commissioned porn since the dawn of time itself. Does having Popufur friends confer a passive bonus to art skillz? If it ever did, I'd have kissed a lot more ass during my life time.

The 22HD Touch is exactly $2,500. If we assume he's going to throw in a couple dollars himself, he could get the 24HD, which is just $100 more. For an extra $500, he could buy the 24HD Touch, which appears to be the biggest, fanciest Wacom tablet you can buy, which is absolutely necessary for drawing Digimon inflation porn.

I thought he had refunded all his long standing commissions. Does he really think he'll be able to draw thousands of pictures in a timely manner? This is the kind of stuff that gets you onto artists beware. He's financially secure too, so it's not like a case where someone takes on more comissions due to an emergency expense.

Where the hell is neer's head?

people been asking that for 5 years

Where the hell is neer's head?

Stuck at Olive Garden.

GoFundMe update: He's added a $200 donation level where he'll even draw himself for you. No word on whether or not Sciggles embargo on "adult" art with others is still in effect.

he'll even draw himself

Does that make it an MCH?

A shout from Dragoneer's FA page:

Following up on that, Dragoneer still hasn't done it:

Is this the same move that's somehow kept them constantly busy for months? I thought they'd already moved and it was done and dusted. Then again, he says "this summer" like it's still going, so maybe there's some time dilation going on.

Well, I think they're BUYING a house, which can be a thing that absorbs all your time for quite a while. First, you have to find a house. Then you have to fabricate a crowdfunding campaign to pay for it...

Several months later and settled in to his new house, Dragoneer still has not done it:

He has plenty of time to play MMORPGs (and shill for them) though:
