Hey everyone, this is like... A sort of update? I don't even know what I am about to write down, just a way to let out some stuff and to let y'all know what's being going on.

The best word to describe everything lately is just... Aimless. I just finished University, just waiting to get my papers and shit, and well, I am currently hunting down jobs, but I have been struggling with my social anxiety, it is not easy feeling my brain being like "Maybe I shouldn't bother them and not send my CV", I hate myself on that regard. However, in the mean time, I have been working on personal projects, I am starting a comic with a couple of friends and also starting one myself, I have been designing lots of characters. I guess I can show some of them, at least mine, the other is a work in progress we rather keep private, or at least, I should ask them first if I want to show em, you know?

These are for my personal comic, I guess I can talk a little more about the premise and the general idea behind it. It is a slice of life comedy of the first two girls, Jam and Ram, two best friends who decided to open a Japanese food restaurant named Eiganjo in their hometown, known as Samahani, a tropical island whose main economic activity is tourism, so they are trying their absolute best to keep their business afloat. If you are an og Garbager fan, you know I used those two girls for a NSFW pic collection, so, I am trying to clean their innocent image, the idea for this plot came to me when I came back to the city I am currently living on cuz of university, going down to my favorite Sushi restaurant just to see a fucking flower shop with a logo done with AI art, and I have seen lots of restaurants closing down, so I decided to write a story of the struggles of these type of small bussineses... In a comedic way, of course! I intend to post a page weekly and post it first on Webtoon and a few days later here on Newgrounds, I want to see if I can monetize my work, so maybe after all pages are posted, I will compile them and put them for sale on either Itchio or Gumroad.

My personal deadline was supposed to be next month, but seeing how things are going, I feel a little aimless, I got the script done, some concept art and character design, but I feel I still lack some stuff, sometimes you wonder... Is this enough? Like, do I, as an independent artist, who understands his limitations and what he needs and doesn't need, me who is basically Solo-ing everything in this project, do I really need that much concept art? For me, yes, yes I do, I literally tried to start the thumbnailing process and then I thought OH FUCK, I haven't even drawn the isle completely, or I don't even know how the streets look, what props they'll be using and shit... So yeah, I don't think next month is possible. But until then, stay tuned, I'll announce it whenever it is ready, hopefully late august-september.

At the same time, I am working on merch, well, mostly stickers and prints, since I am not working right now, I am looking to sell my stuff at cons and artist alleys just to make some extra cash while I'm unemployed, my parents have been very comprehensive on this front and I am thankful for it as I know not everyone has the same luck in that regard. Thanks, mom and dad! Speaking of, shameless plug, got comms open, check them out here! Help out a starving artist!

I stopped art fight for a bit as well, I love the thing, it is like an artsy splatfest, but I gotta admit I kinda burnt out quite fast and easy on the first weeks, and while I was doing my stuff, I did not get that many attacks on me and that sort of disappointed me, after a break, a lot of people drew stuff for me and I am grateful for it! I have seen them, but haven't commented on it. sorry! I'd like to do multiple revenges on them (I even promised a friend I would DO a revenge on him) but I just haven't been in the highest of spirits, the previous stuff I talked about has taken a toll on me.

I also been thinking on doing a short animation, I'm talking a meme of about 9 seconds, but then... After all this, I came to the sad realization... and maybe you too, dear "whoever reads this"... Isn't this a little overwhelming? Job hunting, Two comics, art fight, preparing stickers and prints, commission work, animation... When the fuck am I supposed to work on all this? this is why I said I feel everything on my life right now feels aimless, even if I could say I have my priorities, I still feel bad for draggin projects or not being able to finish stuff on time. I have had so many comic ideas in the past that have never even left the conceptual phase, so, this is important to me, I want to finally take things seriously, specially now that I have "The time". I guess I'll have to settle goals and have a planner. I need to learn how to eat an elephant.

Also, something somewhat related, I feel this is a decision I must let everyone know as I am aware some of you are here because of that, I know my OC Morticia is beloved by many folks around here, and I have drawn a lot of NSFW stuff with her, a lot of people love seeing Abbadon and Morticia have sweet and intimate moments, that's the type of erotic content I love doing, "I don't fuck, I make love" type of stuff, but, I have decided to stop drawing NSFW content of them, I want to keep stuff PG-13 with them, at first I thought just separating my SFW and NSFW accounts was enough, but I want to be professional from now on, Morticia is almost like my mascot, so I want her to be simple and clean (Is the way that you're making me feel tonight). Maybe I could from time to time draw and post something lewd with them here on NG, but outside, nope, I want to keep it just "Cheeky" and "Sly", but not horny or pornographic. But don't worry, I will make OCs SPECIFICALLY for NSFW stuff, and I hope they are a nice replacemente and make Morticia's sexy escapades justice.

Say hi to Mary! I'll draw her in cute and NSFW situations from now on! Hope she is of your liking. I actually came up with her name and backstory in a dream, yes, I am so stressed that I even dream OCs to "Work with".

I guess, that's all I gotta say for tonight, just an update on my life and my plans overall. I won't stop doing what I love, I have come so far to even stop now just because I'm sad, I'll just take a break and shit, I guess, and take it EAAAASY. I restarted playing Shin Megami Tensei III, It's been a while since I have played it, I feel I no longer vibe with it 100%, I stopped liking edgy stuff a while ago, you can even see that I haven't been drawing any scary or creepy shit in a while, I now lean more into happy and romantic stuff, that's why you saw me drawing intimate moments with Morticia and Abbadon, even them kissing and hugging and shit.

TL;DR: That feeling when ADHD at an adult age.

After so many years missed, I have finally decided that this will be MY YEAR!

and so, it will be! I have finally decided to join Art Fight this year!

I updated my old OC Nikki to get her in the line up, I should draw more of my other characters, not everything is Morticia and co... Althought she is like my main gal!

Anyway, see you in the battlefield, and may god help us all...

Go follow me if you feel like it, and let's have some fun!

Hey, hey, hey! The Garbager here again, with another Comm sheet, this one has very few changes, just the full colored pieces are $5 usd pricier and I gave more options, also Ko-fi icons are no longer a thing, sorry... But you can ask for a sketch! Here's the comms info and such! Also, I'll keep the comms ALWAYS open for the foreseeable future!

That being said!

Feel free to DM here on Newgrounds

And on Discord, you can find me as @thegarbager619

You could also message me on Twitter althought I might not answer there.

Oh yeah, and here's my Ko-fi, in case you want a sketch, just write down what you want or DM me in the socials I put here letting me know you just bought me a coffee!

So yeah, see ya! And hope you all consider asking for a comm!

I am writing this in the worst headspace possible, and I am really sad and sorry for all of this, yestersay I made a blog post where I said "a slur", and I really am sorry, a lot of people who I considered mutuals, and art friends were very upset at this. At first I thought everything was fine but as thw day went by, I noticed how big of a mistake I did, friends blocked me, I got outed, Wegra laughed and my Discord Kitten blocked me, this last one hit me hard.

Baby girl, please, My mind is in a dark place right now, please forgive me, I can't live without our sex calls, I can give you my rare items in TF2, but please, please, unblock me kitren that's alm I ask, please, this won't hapoen again I can change I can change I can change please pleaz kitten, I'm sorry, for real, I always thought we were going to be together forever, pelase, please unblock me. Hope you are really reading thsi and am sorry.

For the rest of you who were upset, I dunno, Sorry :/ hope we can start from scratch.

Hello, everyone. Garbager here. As you all know, weeks ago I posted a blog post announcing I'll be saying "A slur" on June 23rd.

Well, if you check your calendars, the date has come, it is June 23rd, so now, without further ado... Here we go...

"A slur"

There we go. I said "a slur".

Hope you all have a good sunday today! :)

I just want to... I just want to remember this moment forever, the day I just casually got in the same list of the Daily P-bot picks along with Punch Punch Forever Episode 2...

It's so undeserved, like, shit, it is just an Amateur final project from a class that's like, literally a workshop where anyone from any campus at my university could enter, I literally was with two guys from Computer Engineering, a girl from Physical education and two other from mine.

Hi everyone, just wanted to let everyone know that

On June 23rd. I'll post a slur.

Without further ado, enjoy the rest of your day, bye.

• Garbo

Hey, everyone... Hope you are having a pleasant night, I just came here to say something important, just wanted to let y'all know that I am going to take a break. School and other personal projecrs are killing me right now and joining collabs, my Daily Paper Mario drawings and commission works are taking a big toll on my mental space, right now. And I am still depressed about some stuff in my life, so I want to... Just stop. There's not much else to say, I am holding too much this time and anxiety ain't helping at all...

That doesn't mean I'll stop working on stuff, and, even if Paper Mario TTYD releases, I'll try my best to finish the daily pieces until the end as I had originally planned in the near future, just let me get done with school work first, okay? I still got some pieces done in anticipation so you'll see the last ones posted here. Y'all might see an ocassional little drawing but nothing too big.

Also, for the folks that have commissioned me, hope you understand that your pieces will take longer. Hope it isn't a nuisance, and if it is. Please, talk with me on DMs and we can get to an agreement on how to continue business.

TL;DR: School is beating my ass and I will take a hiatus and a break from personal stuff, like Comms, Paper Mario drawings and such.

With love,

Garbager (Aldo)

AYO, I'M SO HAPPY. AT FIRST I WAS LIKE "Oh? A DM? Yeah, yeah, P-bot, I'll vote for this month's stuff, I'm going, I'm going" and then I see is G-bot and Ayoooooo???????

It is such a honor to be there! I want this day to last forever, that being said, let's celebrate! I want y'all to form two lines, please. One with dudes and another with dudettes, I want to high five the dudes and I want to make out with the gals. /J

so yeah, so happy about this that I really wanted to make a post about it. It's so cool to see my dumb stupid PFP in the community hub. but yeah, have a good one, y'all.

Edit: Well, it was an honor to be there. This made my day. Hope you guys are next!

So, you know how I have like, a comms sheet? Well, one thing I have there as an alternative are icons. I noticed how overpriced those were, no wonder why no one asked them. So, because of that, I have decided to just go like "Fuck it" mode.

Just get me a Coffee in my Ko-fi if you want an icon, okay? Just $3 usd and make sure to leave there what you want or say you are gonna message me so I know it is you, okay?

Ko-Fi 

Sorry in advance for everyone who considered an icon and felt it was too pricey. If you want a full commission piece, tho, check here.
