I wish above all else that I could help by donating money to your solid gold yacht fund (you are so far over, it is the only thing to be able to buy), but, my dad is the only one who would be able to do that, and he said that, because you were so far over, it wasn't worth it. Despite that, I hope you get better in record time. My grandpa had 2 major shoulder surgeries, so my family is kind of inundated about that.
As my wife and I just had an unfortunate encounter with a doctor ourselves, I could not donate, but Allison, I wish you well and hope that the outpouring of support for you has boosted your spirits. Remember your chin up will help you heal just as fast as the doctor's surgery, don't get down, don't push yourself. We'll still love you when you get your shoulder back!
Outside of the fact that you're a fantastic artist (seriously, your DeviantArt page blew me away), you've made possible a show that helps tons of gamers gain understanding and confidence in the area of game design and interactive art theory. A lot of great things have been made possible because of you. Wish I could have helped more, but I did what I could, and thankfully I was far from the only one. Just get well soon, and spend your recovery with the knowledge that there are a lot of people that care about you and are rooting for you. Thank you for all your work, and I look forward to hearing of your successful recovery.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, your art helps bring Extra Credits alive and I love all the creative monsters that represent ideas in the show, some of them just look so dang huggable, lol.
I am a student at the Guildhall Facility for Game Development in Plano Texas, and after being shown one of the Extra Credits videos in class, I sat and watched all the other videos between breaks, found some of the old early videos on Youtube, and have been watching them ever since.
Your drawings are very cute and I wish I was able to draw as well as you. I respect you both as a artist and a art critic. I hope that your surgery goes smoothly and you heal up well and make a full recovery. You and the extra credits team have become some what of a symbol of the gaming community showing that people who play games CAN be refined and CAN be taken seriously. I thank the whole team for standing up for games and the people who play them.
Great admirer of Extra Credits speaking, not least due to the minimalist charm and splendor of Theus' artwork. Seeing such an intelligent and reasonable account for the artistic integrity of this great medium was completely new to me when I first watched an episode of the show, and seeing it channeled through such precise and smart imagery was what truly rendered me a fan.
Seeing the donations already accumulate over $50k does remind me of how wonderful (and valuable, both metaphorically and literally...!) empathy is.
Hope the operation goes well, Allison. You're a great artist and talent, and knowing you'll get the help you need is absolutely fantastic.
Hope you get well soon, Allison! I really enjoy your drawings as they give me something entertaining to look at while watching EC! (I would've thrown money at you had I had any )
Here, have a picture I drew of a guy who's really happy about toast.
