So what's next?

Posted by TheGarbager619 - 1 month ago


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.

don't test the waters I can't swim :(
(also hell yes to the patreon :D I don't care if I have to pay money to support a really cool fella)

hmm, curious. From looking at the drawings, they did pretty well. What was the expectation?

While I reckon my Dissidia pieces got above average engagement (As in, above from my regular engagement) it did not motivate folks to click or check the wallpapers in my Vgen and Kofi shops, reason why I decided to just put them free with an option to donate instead of the $3 usd I was originally asking.

I got nothing. This is the third time I tried making money out of a little picture collection, Food Porn and Yokai Ecchi being the first two, I took em down from Gumroad but you can check them here on my Newgrounds playlists (it goes without saying that they are intended for mature audiences only so be ware). So I guess I should just not try to do these in the future.

ah ok, now I see. I was confused because performance wise they seemed to do very well. Especially with netting a front page. But yeah, actually making sales with art is very hard to do. I'll keep rooting for you though!
