FTFY. How the hell would he be parenting the child if he's taking care of his immunodeficient parents all day, or if he's not leaving his room except for bathroom breaks and the occasional fast food delivery?
Also, a child shitting themselves by the age of 5 isn't a good sign. Shouldn't you start begging to cover his medical expenses, Lou?
So now Lou is offering his services as a CoLOrISt and I'm legit curious because MAN he is playing with fire in a community as touchy and vendetta-prone as the furry community. As I mentioned previously, this is a REALLY risky thing to be wanting to take money for. You 100% should be getting permission from an artist to color their lines yourself, much less pay someone ELSE to do it, and I don't see him mentioning anything about needing permission from the original artist. I know I would be PISSED if someone commissioned me for lineart (generally a cheap option) and then took it off to make a butchered end result associated with my name, and I think that's the general school of thought on this sort of thing.
Furthermore, adding flat color is generally very cheap. Most artists aren't going to charge a whole lot more for flats than they would for just lines, so him wanting $15 for something that would be about five-ten minutes with a paint bucket tool is awfully optimistic. I don't see there being a whole lot of demand for this, since he can't shade something to a 'finished' product.
I would say can't wait for the drama, but that would require anyone actually biting, which... seems unlikely.

Lou's previous header shows just how good he is with flat coloring. Blatantly uneven markings, color spots where they shouldn't be. It's honestly not worth $5, let alone $15.

He's just a poor honest transthing trying to raise funds to get a 5y/o fat on McDonalds, Karen!!!!!
Though at least he's actually offering to do (kind of dishonest) work for this, compared to his usual pathetic-begs (though he's doing that too, of course). According to various tweets from earlier that I didn't bother capping he (a) A got the Anthrocon refund the day of cancellation, so that ISN'T in the pipe, and (b) is now down from $20 to only $7 to his name according to another tweet asking for a computer.
It is when you consider the quality of his coloring. He basically just uses the paintbucket tool and touches it up after. Absolutely 0 regard for shading or anything of the sort.

Do you think he is using Microsoft paint? I only color with pencils and crayons like a true autistic, the digital media world is confusing and too big for me.
Louis, you idiot. She's that child's legal guardian. If you had a distant cousin who you gifted an entire car to the moment they're 16, their parent would still have the right to take the keys away if they misbehave. What you're suggesting is not how legality works, and that's not how reality works. You're just trying to scam your own mother out of money on top of whatever you take from living there for free.

I had to check so I took a cross section of all of these, and yes, they're all the exact same color orange, not a single RGB value higher or lower. Louis can't even do flat coloring correctly.
Not to brag, but I've done more difficult and time consuming work on this very forum with more effort put into it, and I've done it for free. I'd even do the same thing Louis is offering without a penny asked if I was approached to do it. You know what? It's so mindless, I'd even do if Louis himself asked me. Yet here he is demanding $15 for something which should realistically take him, you, me, and every other person with a computer and a room temperature IQ minutes. And that's using Celsius for room temperature.

I don't think he's said what he uses, but his coloring work doesn't appear to be anything that couldn't be accomplished by a bored 10 year old with microsoft paint.
Seriously. He thinks children should not be disciplined? Maybe if she was pulling the whole 'shoot the computer in front of the kid' thing, but all that is happening is basically a time out. She should be limiting its use anyway because he's five. He needs to do more than sit in front of a screen all day.
Also did he say it was 300? Whyyyyy would you give a kid something both that fragile and that expensive?! Yet more proof he has nothing to do with the kid because he'd have learned fast that that doesn't fly. I bet if she listened to him and gave the kid free rein with it, that Lou would be furious with her for letting him break it. Also would beg money to buy a new one.
I forgot I had quoted this for a whole other reason. I meant to point out that most of the time, laptops have a touchpad. Why do you need a mouse? Especially if you're going to be on the porch? Where do you put the mouse?
Is he literally asking someone to GIVE him a chromebook. Wasn't it just last week that good ol Lou was yelling in to the void hoping that Tiger Direct would cancel his order of a chromebook??
Oh sorry. 8 days ago. I have failed you Kiwis and I will go commit die now.
Reading the OP and half the thread was enough to send me both laughing and MATI that such a person exist to leech off other people.
Thank you, farmers, for bringing to light yet another pathetic furry.
On the subject of Lou's quest to grift via furry art, I can safely say he's wading into a saturated market at this point. For the price point of $15 you can easily get a nice sketch off lesser known artists and colour for slightly higher than that. $15 for flat colours is just absurd and given his lack of gallery and name recognition no one's gonna fall for it.
I don't even understand this. Is he spending $37.48, or $46? Can he take the bus, or can't he? What does any of this have to do with stretching your available funds? I'm so confused.
Ok hold on. Lou, that isn't how any of this works. When you're as poor as you claim to be, you don't suddenly get to go "I'm tired of this meal so I'm just not gonna have it". You eat what you can afford. If you get tired of it? Learn to cook something else with your ingredients. Why does $50 only get him $37.48 of food? Why is the other "leftover"? What does he mean that what can stretch for you can't for others? It isn't a hard coded definition of "we can all buy this, why can't you". Prices are different everywhere, Lou, everyone gets that, but your willingness to let people know that apparently only 3/4 of their money goes to getting your gullet stuffed is showing people you don't understand what being frugal is at all. You wouldn't have to eat spaghetti every day if you just respected your mom either and didn't argue with her every day, but we all know she still makes food for you to because she actually isn't as hateful or transphobic as you make her out to be. Ordering out is not a good idea when you have so little money, Lou, and we already covered that Instacart waives their fee after $35, so where does the $50 + 3.99 come in. None of this makes sense, and I hope that whoever sent him that $50 sees that and asks for their money back or tells them that if he isn't going to spend it how they want, they should be paid back for their gift (kinda like that iPad, eh Lou?). And fucking what, Lou? "This isn't directed at anyone?" That's the most blatant subtweet I've seen this year.
On another note, I think Lou stopped mentioning that his brother came home for a very good reason: he can't claim that he's the only one that can go to the store now. If I had to take a guess, he isn't even the one going to the store now anyway. I would be willing to guess that his brother is infinitely more grateful than Lou to have a place to live without rent (I almost said 100x more, but that requires any form of thankfulness or appreciation, which is very clear Lou does not have either). And he can't really claim to take care of his nephew when Lou's dear old "druggie brother" is back in the picture.
