Since the year has started, I was wondering, what do you guys think of my art currently? Is it good? Is it bad? Am I getting better or am I getting worse? What could be improved?

I swear to god, there's very talented artists out there who like, make the most beautiful and stunning character design ever, with the coolest rendering, and breathtaking colors, only to ruin it with a dumbass meme put/drawn in the corner. Can you be serious for a moment? The least thing my Twitter feed lacks is memes, so please I mean this in the most passive aggressive way, I want to see your beautiful art.

If you commission me all payments must go through Vgen or if you want to donate to me, please check my KoFi, I don't feel comfortable sending my Paypal email anymore after it got Hijacked.

Just had a situation where I almost got scammed on Twitter as it was all played as a "generous donation" :/

Please be careful out there, Artist friends, I suffered sleepless nights after my Paypal was almost used for money laundering.

COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN AGAIN!

This time... ON Vgen!!!

Hello everyone. It's me, your local horned horny weirdo friend, Garbo. I come back to tell you a very important announcement, as you know, some months ago I had a situation with my Paypal account where I got it hijacked and I had to wait like a month so I could get it back (Further context here) but now, after a few bureaucratic shenanigans, and most importantly, getting a Vgen code, I OPEN COMMISSIONS AGAIN! And this time, I'll take them here on VGEN! I think this will be way easier than me having to change prices or info every so often.

If you are interested, you can go check prices and what I offer

HERE

I also offer Sketch commissions on Ko-Fi, just buy me a Coffee and let me know it was you

HERE

Hey, guys, just a quick update, I won't have Commissions open until further notice. My Paypal account has been compromised, someone tried to enter my account (I managed to change my password and set a 2FA) but then random people have been sending me money to my account, I have literally been playing this game of money I receive, money I refund or cancel the transaction, and because of this I just can't accept commission money for the time being and I'll only be able to close my account until the 25th of December according to Paypal customer support... In the meantime I'll look for alternatives to paypal, but, tbh, I just want to kill myself right now. God... I didn't even sleep well last night because the money I get sent are big sums of money that in all honestly, it scares me that I might get in trouble because of this, I dunno how they got my account to make money laundering or some shit, but I am so tired and scared...

Sigh, anyway, yeah, that's that... Also apologies for the lack of art recently, I have been sick, tired and in a bad mood these last days, and this situation isn't helping. Hope you understand, I might just do a pending comm I have, and art for collabs I entered to and just that for the rest of the year, cuz honestly, fuck this.

Also please, don't send me anything to my KO-FI, I'll see if I can disable it, if you send anything, it won't reach me at all.

On the bright side, My Ragatha plushie finally arrived! Yippee!!

THe only good thing about this torment...

Hey, everyone. Sick Garbager here. as you know (or not), my birthday was on November 15th and on the 11th I asked folks, just for funsies, to draw a simple sketch of Ragatha. I did not get Simple sketches at all.

Thanks again to everyone who sent me a drawing, I cherish all the pieces with all my heart. After that on the 16th and 17th, people kept sending me Ragathas, enough to make a second collague, but, as this happened I got sick and also couldn't figure out for the life of me how to put lewd drawings next to a one made by a minor... So, I figured I'd just give a shout out to these fine folks.

Thanks to @nebulate, @InsaneNiac (NSFW), @PachkaNG, @Fianurart and my friend Licae1 who doesn't have art socials.

You guys are the fucking best, you made this birthday one of the greatest. And apologies for not making a proper collague with y'all. I'll make it but will keep it for myself as a nice memory.

... Now If y'all excuse me, I'll die on my bed...

So, my birthday is in 5 days, and this year I want to be self-indulgent and I hope this isn't too selfish and asking too much, consider this just an open invitation.

But I'd love if y'all, my followers, drew a very simple sketch of Ragatha from The Amazing Digital Circus and DM it to me here to Newgrounds, if I get enough, I plan to do a little thing. 

I'm not asking for a full piece or a big sketch, I am fully aware this type of stuff must be paid, I perfectly know, I'm an artist. I just want this to be silly fun for me! So yeah, thanks for reading. 

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.
