Where does this fat bastard post his stuff anyway?
Hello, everyone. I come here to answer a question no one asked, yet I want to give the answer to. As many of you know, Newgrounds ain't my main thing, but it is where I grow the most, so let me do a little segway to say... Thank you!
Now to the question, the answer is simple, I post on Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky aaaand here. Also on Facebook, but I know only my old ass posts there in my personal account for my closest friends. Now, here's the catch, I also have SFW and NSFW versions of places that allow pornographic content to be posted, mostly Bluesky, Twitter and Newgrounds... BUT THERE'S ALSO A CATCH... Believe it or not, I have PRIOOOOORITIES in where I post, so that's the main focus of this post. This is basically me telling you "I got these social network accounts, but, you should check here instead if you want this or that" instead of just posting my links on my posts. See it as an open invitation to check my stuff in other places but also to let you know why I prefer [THIS] instead of [THAT], Okay?
Before we begin a thing to consider, I want to keep this post M-rated, as I want this to reach more people, so I won't link my NSFW accounts, you search for it yourself, it is not hard to stumble upon them (Hint hint profile hint hint).
If you want NSFW art:
- Newgrounds - Here is your safe bet and BEST BET! All of my NSFW and SFW stuff is here. All archived nicely, with alt versions properly visible in the same post, and at times, I put some extra stuff and insight on the development of individual pieces in my ART THREAD.
- Twitter (NSFW) - Safe Bet, Low Priority! Here I post under the name Akuma Taro, a handle I adopted as I wanted to separate my SFW stuff from my NSFW content even further, the only drawback of checking my art here is that, since the Twitter team and Elon Musk implemented AI, as an artist I am trying to defend myself from getting my art used for generative AI programs without my permission, so I first put my pieces on Glaze, and since my PC ain't the best, it takes around 45 minutes to glaze the pic completely, this is even worse when I make alt versions, like that recent Vanilla the Rabbit piece I did. So you might see stuff posted a few hours or a day later than Newgrounds and Bluesky... Speaking of Bluesky...
- Bluesky (NSFW) - Errrmmm.... High Priority? Tsssss... Yeah.... While both Newgrounds and Bluesky have higher priorities for me than Twitter now... Well...
This is just sad, man....
So, while I don't have to worry about AI and all... Yeah, I personally don't like how this looks at all... As a little method for overriding this, I quote pieces with pics. But this is such an unnecessary workaround which asks more from me... So yeah, if you want NSFW just check my shit here or on Twitter.
- Rule 34 Tag - I GOT ONE! It is outdated tho... In case you were unaware, I myself post my own content on Rule 34, I do this to avoid any other person posting it there and also for people to go check my twitter and Newgrounds account as at times, people don't properly put the sources, also to tailor it myself as sometimes there's pieces I am not proud of, there was this incident years ago where people posted very old shit I was ashamed of and I got insulted there, that broke my confidence a little. Anyway, my tag at the moment is not updated, basically I haven't had time to post my own stuff and to add the "AKUMA TARO" tag to my posts, I guess to keep it consistent I'll tag both Akuma Taro and TheGarbager619 accounts, I mean, in the end y'all there know it's me :)
If you want SFW art:
- Newgrounds - Just filter my stuff! I encourage anyone who doesn't like my erotic content to filter my stuff, I try to properly tag my stuff always, so maybe put out A and M just in case, in A are sex pieces or pornographic nudity, in M I got more tasteful nudity, so pick your poison or throw it away entirely and check my other goofy Safe pieces. I try to balance my output of SFW and NSFW stuff.
- Twitter - Your second best bet! Even though there's low Priority Tbh, I feel Twitter is basically my Newgrounds account but without the erotic stuff, so if you want it completely filtered, that's your best option, but, just like I previously mentioned, with the implementation of AI, I'll take my time to post there.
- Instagram - Uuuuuuh Low Priorities and I kinda hate it and forget about it So yeah... Instagram is my least favorite social network to post art on, but I have it cuz "Some industry fucks might like your shit and follow you" and "It is basically a portfolio", which for me it's kind of bullshit, man... It is a very cold social network, I barely interact with humans there, I love that NG still has forums, even on Twitter I can communicate with folks (For better or for worse) and on Facebook i can show my latest pieces with my best friends IRL and online (Not before glazing it, of course). But with Instagram? I gotta glaze it, gotta crop it out because of their shitty 1:1 resolution format, it has to look good on thumbnail so I make a thumbnail out of the piece and then I post the piece which looks cumbersome and annoying to check, gotta put something on my stories to hype up my stuff, man, it is so annoying, it's a very corporate environment, that's the last thing I want to think about when uploading my stuff; on Newgrounds, it almost feels like a game to crop the piece, to post alt versions, and to put text and my socials... with Instagram, it is a chore. And only for it to not reach anyone, and at times, I get comments from stupid bots. So yeah, honestly, don't follow me on Instagram, there's a reason why I don't put it on my links below my pieces.
So yeah, that's all, I dunno how to finish this, play Balatro, I'm addicted to that game. And see you soon.
