Hello.


Just came here to say a few words, to address the changes that has been going on in the past months with my art, I know I have never been known to just draw one topic: one day I'd draw some splatoon stuff, then original stuff, then some resident evil stuff, some final fantasy stuff and then more original stuff but in the last few days, almost all pieces have been digital circus related and regarding my selfshippin art with Ragatha from The Amazing Digital Circus as well.


I know that type of art is not of everyone's taste, and y'all are probably expecting me to move on from the Ragatha and Garbo art pieces and I just want to apologize for that, In the last year and a half I have lost the motivation to continue working on art, I feel I put a lot of effort into stuff that ultimately does not look good or does not cause any reaction on social media - The Dissidia Digital Circus project took a lot from me and ultimately felt like nothing happened - add that to the fact I haven't been able to find a job for almost a year, got some debts I have, my therapy sessions I have to pay and I have a sick cat and had to sell some video games, books and Pokémon decks I did not want to sell but ultimately had to to treat her and... things are not looking good for her :(.


So that's why I have just drawn Selfshipping doodles and sketches - specifically poorly drawn ones - to relax, to not care about the anatomy, the composition, the proportions, the coloring, the shading, these are just for me. Sorry about that. I'm going to try to diversify my art again. I might post Selfshipping stuff somewhere else so it doesn't interfere with my 1/3 professional, 1/3 silly and 1/3 horny artist persona on the Internet.


"You have romantic feelings for a fictional girl? What are you, fucking gay? Sexualize her, that's more acceptable"


Also, I will open commissions again after finishing some stuff I have pending, and will post a one time special offer! So stay tuned if interested! :)


Well, that's all for today, I wanted to apologize to those who unfollowed me because of this and I want to thank everyone who has stuck and have actually liked and encouraged this art, but a change needs to be done.

Hey, everyone. I come here with one last update for my collection The Amazing Dissidia Circus. This one, where I drew The Amazing Digital Circus characters dressed as protagonists and villains form the Final Fantasy series (Just like in the Dissidia crossover games). You might have seen me promote it before a couple times.



If you saw the original pieces and some posts I put around my social media, I was selling Wallpapers of these pieces in my Ko-fi and Vgen shops a first, but then I put them for free with the option to donate one or two dollars. As of last night, I have decided to take them down and put the wallpapers Free to download. I posted the Wallpapers on my Twitter account but I'll leave a Google Drive Folder link here so you can snatch your favorite cuz I know they will get eventually buried on my Media tab, lol. Also will upload the sketches and complete pieces on the Folder, basically all the things the packs contained when you purchased them.


HERE'S THE FOLDER

Thank you for your support on the Amazing Dissidia Circus. Hope y'all get to also support my next projects!

Normally I wouldn't make a post like this, since I am not in the LGBT community myself, and even thought I considering myself an ally I don't feel I should speak for anyone on this, as it would mean taking the narrative of the movement on someone who is not part of it.


But, considering the Internet and the World has been a shithole for Queer friends and colleagues in the past Almost-half a year I just wanted to remind you to keep going no matter what, the best way to deal with this is to let bigots know that, even after all this you will and shall live your life the way you want and how you want it to be, as there's nothing more brave than to be yourself despite the adversities.


And if someone who is reading this just thinks this isn't natural, or considers themselves TERFS, some culture war anti DEI fighters or Harry Potter fans, please get the fuck out of my profile (Specially HP fans, read a better book), I don't appreciate you, no matter if I lose all my followers, there is no place for you here in my profile. Change your heart.


Never give up. I love y'all, no matter how you choose to live.

What would you like to see more?

Original characters?

Fanart? (Which characters in particular)

Comics?

Simpler pieces? More complex pieces?

SFW or NSFW?


Let me know. I want to consider what to do next.


Posted by TheGarbager619 - May 17th, 2025


These past weeks I have been looking for advice, tips and different ways to monetize my art more, and I have been trying to come up with things that could add some value to my art, something that might actually interest people, like, maybe opening a patreon and making NSFW art and the usual stuff, or maybe start production on my comic and shit, but none of that feels something I could accomplish that easily and I'm scared of not providing meaningful content in a monthly basis. I know a lot of cool NSFW artists that don't post regularly and even I think about supporting them on patreon or not.


And yesterday I had quite a stress breakdown over this and many other stuff and came to the realization... I'm just not a good businessman, I have a hard time promoting my own commissions, I forget to show stuff on my Rule 34 tag or discord groups I'm in and promote it there, I forget to do timelapses for my social media and stuff.


Sigh, I just want to draw.

I have been trying to write this down like 4 times already as this has devolved into me venting about not finding a job. But let's do this more straightfoward with bullet points:


  • The Amazing Dissidia Circus did not go as I intended so I don't plan on putting more effort on it right now, or in the near future as I want to focus on newer stuff.
  • It was a nice experiment to test the waters on what people are interested.
  • Might do more of these in the future.
  • I'd love to keep working on personal projects, just maybe smaller ones.
  • Sell myself out a little more (Less original stuff, more fanart)
  • Might like to focus on getting more engagement in other social media platforms.
  • Find different ways to monetize my content, go harder with how I promote my commissions, maybe start a patreon, do more trends, sell prints and stickers? Maybe!


These changes might not happen right now, but I want to figure out my approach with these and the process I'll take to implement them.

I'm a huge Turn based RPG fan, ever since my dad bought me Mario & Luigi Partners in time thinking it was Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga but for DS, your average fan would say it was the saddest mistake ever, but for little me it was the best thing ever, until then I always saw Mario as this funny little guy jumping and grabbing mushrooms to save the princess in this wacky kingdom, but seeing him and Luigi kicking alien butt in this story which had a tone I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN in any Mario related media made me appreciate RPGs, specially its mechanics and stories. Through all my life I tried lots of Turn Based RPGs, like Dragon Quest, Earthbound, Paper Mario, Chrono Trigger, Pokémon, Shin Megami Tensei and of course, the love of my life, Final Fantasy.


But all my life, specially through late 2000's and early to mid 2010's I was always faced with these type of individuals which held RPGs in very low regards. But these were no regular individuals, we all have our preferences in genres for video games, right? I love RPGs, Platformers and also Roguelikes and I personally do not like RTS games like Starcraft or Age of Empires or Survival games as I prefer more tailored experiences than games where you make your own fun (And I never know what to build in minecraft...), we all have opinions, but I swear to god the RPG hater bunch has the most rancid opinions I have ever heard: "RPGs were born because of technical limitations" so did ROGUE and now people enjoy Roguelikes, no one thinks that randomly generated maps or rooms in The Binding of Isaac or Enter the Gungeon is an old fashioned mechanic, "They are boring as hell" I can't argue with that but I'm sorry you can't see the fun in exploiting the weakness of a big boss or the joy of finally getting a build done for a certain character, it can be as fun as changing your class in a hero shooter to make up for some team balance issues. "The gameplay is just Pressing A", Mario is all about pressing A and B, and it is massively fun, it might not hit that dopamine rush in the same way but it is like getting a chess play to work.


And like I said everyone has opinions and all of them are equally valid, everyone can enjoy these games and live their own lives but the problem was that this sentiment was shaking the industry, companies dropped Turn based RPGs in order to favor more action packed experiences, that's why you got your FFVII Crisis Core, why you got your Super Paper Mario and then future entries trying to make Turn Based battles almost optional, your Nier, Your Fallout feeling like a Shooter more than turn based, your Kingdom Hearts, your Mass Effects and could see games like Final Fantasy XII and XIII having an identity crisis, trying to make Turn based action packed again just like when Square made the ATB system, shit even Lufia jumped the Shark and made an Action RPG, and during these days you had to go for more niche stuff like Disgaea or Shin Megami Tensei which it was a miracle some of them had translations. To be fair it was all shooters, people just wanted to shooters and people still do, shooters still play the exact same but no one says it is outdated as long as they hit that dopamine quota.


It wasn't until Persona 5 released in 2016 and it resonated with a bunch of Redditors and video game journalists after almost 8 years without a new mainline Persona game that Turn based was brought back to the table, for real this time, and I kinda hated the vibe and popularity it all had back then, how it was regarded as the best RPG ever the one that revolutionized Turn based battles and just the overall way it was EVERYWHERE, dude. I used to follow a lot of NSFW artists on tumblr and there wasn't a single day I didn't see an Ann Takemi lewd piece of art, I felt nothing but a void everytime I saw nsfw content of Persona 5 characters.


But now after all these years, I see how this was a necessary evil... As this made it clear that people were okay with grand stories with Turn based gameplay, thanks to this and other cool stuff like Dragon Quest XI a year later that we started having a good time with those despised turn based tussles again, and now cue to present day, we live in a world that saw the opposite of what was happening, a series such as Yakuza, an action beat em up game transformed into an RPG and is selling more than ever, we got the little edgy and heartless brother of Persona 5, Shin Megami Tensei V along with the return of Shin Megami Tensei 3 and a new kid in the Atlus block, Metaphor Re:Fantazio, literally the 2023 Game of the Year winner was Baldur's Gate 3, a sequel to one of the most beloved D&D based franchises ever and just a few days ago Clair Obscur Expedition 33 released making it people's favorite game even when we got the Elder Scroll's oblivion remastered shadow dropped (Wished it was Morrowind, tho).


It is now that I realize how this wound for RPGs is slowly healing and it sadly started in the most obnoxious way with the most obnoxious fandom. But yeah, this is just my opinion in the end, things might not happened this way but at least it was how I lived those times online and how a lot of people in my day to day life felt about this genre I care a lot about.


If you read all this, thank you.

After some further consideration. I decided to put the wallpapers for free with the options of being ablee to donate any quantity of money you'd like, although the suggested price is $3 usd.


Also the Complete Pack is just $8 usd instead of $15, and well, just consider that a donation. I think my work is worth much more, but you know. Life.


And, in addition to this, I'll just keep posting them daily from now on, no one wants to wait a week for all this, I'm so sorry.
