Why Hellooo

So I actually decided to drop $230 to just jump-start the progress and get things moving. Puts me slightly in a tight spot for a while, but it's only temporary. I'm still accepting donations from those interested helping me improve and making upgrades and such. There's still other models, textures, plugins, and such that I can obtain, so that we're not seeing the same figures/characters over and over. Not to mention, full-scale environments like a jungle/forest setting which takes up an amount of memory I don't possess at the moment(Otherwise I have to fake it in a sense, like previous projects)... Plus I'd like to continue upgrading my PC for the sake of speed and quality. I've come to find that while I can practically see renders at real-time, animations still take substantial time to render out, and not without some minor flaws in my current setup as well as with my present knowledge. I can promise you that this is only the beginning...  Eventually, I aim to have a dual monitor set-up capable of rendering animations in real-time, so that I can make adjustments and get content uploaded quickly.
  Honestly, I was hoping to make a surprise for you guys and render something really intense, but I think you guys deserve a sneak peak at what is to come after the help and support I received from this community. I thank all of you for helping me reach this new level of progress. I still remember making corny photo-manips a handful of years back, it's awesome to see how much progress has been made for this community... Seriously, at one point, I thought I was alone before stumbling upon DA, and it gave me the opportunity to join a community of people whom enjoy something that I have the ability to produce. And knowing we can only push farther... It's so awesome and inspiring
  So, don't let it go to your head, but you guys really do give me one hell of a drive to push on and make dents (if not craters) like no-other! As long as you don't approach me with some pathetic, needy, "I need to fap now" attitude, I will always take your thoughts and ideas into consideration (just be respectful, as opposed to rude or desperate). Especially when donating toward the cause, it doesn't have to be some substantial amount, just supporting and helping towards the next step means a lot. To me it says, "Hey I want to help, I might not be in a financially stable environment but I believe in you". The money doesn't go towards paying my rent or for gas, drugs, clothing, etc. At this point it is specifically and primarily aimed at the budgets for this community.
  So to those of you who have contributed towards projects and supported me, I owe my thanks and appreciation to your undying loyalty and support. You whom have helped me through troubled times, and escorted me towards gaining a new level of productivity and knowledge, I thank you. And I will never give up on you You whom have helped me turn on the lights and heater for young ones that would have shivered in cold conditions, for me who would have spent cold nights with young ones in a car until the gas ran out for the sake of keeping warm...
Just... Thank You. One day I hope I can return the favor with more than just words and renders and animations... One day I hope to be able to track you down and give you the means for retirement as well as peace and posterity.
