lol, and then when they're corrected, they demand you crack the books like you're on Bar Rescue and walk them through expenses like you're being audited. Bitch, you didn't even back the project??? - ThreadSky

This is really odd and painful to Gen-X people, who grew up with stuff like the Making of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, with Bob Hoskin's carefully explaining how you 'grab' the rabbit with a closed fist, otherwise they have to draw the rabbit in between each finger and that's another $100,000.

(Animation was *famously* expensive. I'm sure computers have helped a little, but wow guys. Technology vs. inflation!)

YEARS ago, some doofus tried to stir up some discord against Iron Circus for "What Spike stands to make" from the six-figure Kickstarter take for the complete Girls With Slingshots.

In his back-of-the-napkin calculation, eh handwaved "Whatever shipping costs."

You mean $40,000, dumbass?

Understand this with your soul: You don't know my job. You don't know what I do, or what it costs.

Oh I love when people try to tell other people how much things cost when they have no idea and have costed it themselves.

I have had that with both art and with sewing

It also always makes me sad that people complain that people make -anything- on projects. Like how dare you want to make a living creating things. Its not the majority that do, but always at least some.

Yeah, but you're -A WOMAN-
and also, -BLACK-

They have to know more than you, they *have* too.

I know I'm not saying anything new, of course.

I honestly don't know why people can't understand this. I flat out told my contractor the other day "I have never built a house. Expect me to lean on the guy who makes his living building houses for his expertise."

tangentially related question... did order of the stick ever finish his Kickstarter? thinking about all the projects I've seen made me think of that one

dabaum.bsky.social•9 hours ago

people are stupid. I know some early early Kickstarters miscalculated shipping but kept people appraised. since then though it's been good especially with folks like you who have been doing this forever the gws book was massive and I never questioned the cost because big and gorgeous

fablepaint.bsky.social•8 hours ago

you calculate everything to the dollar and have funds set aside for "world ending chaos" shit even and then shipping raises like, 4 or 5 times in a year. Just wtf man.
