Promotion for new Digital Shop Location

Last month my Gumroad account was shut down. I knew this was coming eventually and had spent some time looking for a new home. After some suggestions and support I decided to go with Payhip. Its a nice layout and I hope that I can stay there for a while.
Currently I have most of the old packs uploaded and some of them have had the price reduced. I plan on more packs in the future and maybe less explicit as well. That is all up in the air at the moment.
All packs available at the moment are intended for mature audiences.
Check out the packs if you are interested.
I also have a Ko-fi page if you wish to support with a tip. There are a lot of SFW images there as well.

Pulley Link in case the Gumroad does not work.

This is the worst cover I have done for a pack. The art inside though I am happy with it. All gray scale inking and light shading. Different scenarios with a corrupted Latex Ink that has a variety of effects on the Inklings.

I have a new small art pack available. Its a Totally Spies themed one. 15 images in simple grayscale with the line art separate on transparent pngs. Added in 15 short desc for each image explaining the lead up.

There is rubber, wrapping, inflatable, clown themes, and more.
The pack is $20 and the money is going to medical supplies and to help with exam payments. v
If the pack is not for you and would like to help there is my Ko-fi page with a lot of SFW images.

Got a set here that I have been putting together off and on last tow months. 40 more images from my scan folder.
There are a lot of drones in this one. Some transformations and bondage in it. They are all simple inks with shading to them. A text doc is attached as well that has a description of the concept for all 40 pieces.
Lots of Drones!

Got a link for Gumroad and one for Pulley.

Overall update on life and illustration.
Beginning of the month we had Hurricane Beryl make a big turn and hit us head on. Made news in how the power went out and how long it would take to restore. I lost power on that monday that it hit and did not get it restored until Tuesday of the next week. I was lucky to have family and friends with limited power to at least go sleep. Did not sleep very well and was more exhausted at the end of it than before. Near the end of that week was able to haul my computer to a friends apartment to try and get some commission work done. Was not as motivated as I could have been and was not feeling well either.
All that is over now and I still have some clean up in my yard to do as well as the house. I am far far behind on commissions at the moment. There was a lot of demotivation and depression that kept me from working. Not working on commissions and art packs is a really bad thing at the moment. No full time or part time job at the moment and bills are getting due for next month. I am pushing to work to get stuff done so I can take some more commissions and work on packs.

Speaking of art packs, I had joined Gumroad a little over a year ago and now they are starting to shut down NSFW shops. This was a corner stone of getting through the utilities bills. My shop is still open as of this writing but I don't know how long that will be. Still looking for a home to sell packs but not sure of a good place at the moment.
Until the shop is shut down here is the link to it if you are interested in a pack. Also have a couple of 2 image sets that are sold for $3 or what you would like to pay.
https://bastianshoppe.gumroad.com/

Also have a Ko-fi page for tips. Have a small gallery there of some SFW images of a lot of cartoon, anime and tv show characters.

Thank you all for previous purchases, commissions and well wishes. It all means a lot to me and I hope to have more and better work in the future.
Sebastian

Small update. I have power to my workstation via a coworker letting me bum at his place while he's at work.
I have been a week without power now and I think that it may be this coming Wednesday when I finally get power back. This has thrown off my entire schedule and is hurting for my bills. Those that have a commission or have tried to get a hold of me in the last week, I will be getting to all of you and work as quickly as L can.
Thank you for your patience.

[Thank you to everyone that contacted me. I have filled all slots now.
This will help out a great deal for the reset of the month and we may open up again soon.]

Hello all.
I am in need of getting a few bills paid by the middle of the month.
So I will be opening up for 5 commission slots. Turn around will be around 2 weeks.

You can message me and if want to see the current pricing that I have its posted up here on Twitter.
Twitter post with Current Commission Pricing.

I will be checking back off and on today as I am working on some other bill paying projects :P

Alright, I thought that I was going to have to shut down my Gumroad but it seems that I can keep running it and in my current situation (unemployed) I figure I would keep posting.
Have a new item that is different. A two image set of a concept design. I have so many sketched concepts that they all won't be finished as I want them to be.
So I have the first one set up and posted on Gumroad for $3 or pay what you want. Kind of a mature theme tip jar vs the SFW Kofi page.
Theme for this one is the Onlybun. A Judy Bun that is encased in rubber and setting up for her stream-a-thon.
Check it out if your interested. If it works out I will add more items in these kind of sets with the sketches and notes.

Good evening everyone,
Due to changes with Gumroad policy on Adult Content I am afraid the shop will close soon.

If you are just now hearing that I have a gumroad account I apologize for now advertising better.
There are a hand full of packs t here with a lot of rubber and TF in them.
Purchase now if you have been interested.
I may keep the account but will have to pivot it to SFW content as I search for a new home for my NSFW content.
Thank you all for your patronage, it has been a life savers these last handfull of months.

Here we go. Some of you may have seen this on my twitter.
I started a Gofundme to help out with medical expenses past and present.
Long story short, After my hospital stay from last year, I had a lot of bills. Then my health started rolling like an egg since.
With monthly labs, followups and more to fix what can be fixed, the bills just pile up.

Donate if you wish and never feel obligated. Share the link if you will. I just need to get through this year and this will be just enough.
For all doners, well wishers and folks passing by, thank you and have a wonderful day.

Been a while. Need to make some more content for here.
For now though, I just made a Gumroad shop. Figure this would be a better more visual way of checking out my art packs and more.

New image available on my Ko-fi Gallery

Good evening,
Just wanted to send a message out to anyone that commissioned me in the past from 2015-2020 AND I sent them art through DAs STASH storage.
I am going to be removing it to make space for future endeavors. I am guessing that most folks would have saved copies but if you have been dependent on the STASH link those files are going to be removed in 2 weeks.
I"ll give a second warning around removal in a week from now and then a day before removal.

Posted a piece to Ko-fi
Dorothy from Big O
Going to be working on the speed painting of that this weekend.

This is an update that I need to do as motivation to get up and move forward again.
Back in february I was hospitalized with gangrene infection. My wound was healed somewhere around the end of March, start of April. There are other physical issues that I still need to work on and there is some mental health issues that I am currently dealing with.
While I have been drawing lately at a higher frequency I have not really come back to social media. Just had not been ready to socially interact with folks as I have been fatigued from too much physical and mental stress. Its going to take a while to get my strength back is the short of it.
As I have been drawing, I have been getting a few messages asking if I am open for commissions. The general answer is no, there are commissions from before February that I have not finished and I need to get with those folks to see if they are still up for it and to schedule a completion for them. Its going to take me a while to get all of that done but I do want to start coming back slowly and bit by bit.
That said, I am looking into getting an art pack done up soon. My medical bills have gotten to a point where they are so high that I can not even think of how to pay for them.
I never really like saying thing but, if you would like send a little support, I have a Ko-fi page where you can make a small donation and there is a (mostly free) gallery of various fan art portraits with a few unlocked by sending a donation. All support is greatly appreciated.
https://ko-fi.com/sebastianmage
Going to move slowly and with all luck steadily through the year.
Thank you for sticking with me
Sebastian.

Just a couple updates before I laydown.
I have been in the hospital for a week for emergency surgery to remove gangrene. Not as bad as it could have been. The head surgeon was a true human being, gave me a hug when I needed it.
I am home now and with home treatment but I can walk mostly and will be a while before sitting sleeping and walking are mostly normal.
While I shouldn't be thinking about it, I know a gigantic bill is coming from my stay. That is something I will have to work on as it comes. For now, I need to eat health, take my meds and get some rest.
Side note: I really need to get some social media on my phone so its not an abrupt message out of the blue.

I think this is something that will interest more people here.
Over the years I have played video games less and less. Last year I sold off my consoles and games. I have come to the mind set that if its collecting dust in a box under a box then it needs to go to someone that is going to appreciate it as nostalgia or as a first experience.
That said, I did keep a few cartridges even through I can't play them. Those were Mario Paint, Fanal Fantasy 3(6) and The Guardian Legend.
Recently went out to the same shop that I sold my stuff. We were there to pickup the sales were made off our posters and stickers. I decided that I wanted to get one of those Retrocons with some of my store credit. I told my friend about the strange glitch that I got in Final Fantasy3(6) and wondered if it was still on the cart all these years later.
Got home that evening and plugged in the console, popped in the game and there it was. An 80 hour play through that held the rewards of the glitch.
I will describe what happened as best I remember since that was 27 years ago.

Played through the game up to the point where you face off against Kefka, General Leo and the Emperor on the floating continent. (Want to say that I had been using an unofficial FF guide that was written off the japanese version of the game and used a few different or untranslated names. So, I was able to get the Chainsaw for Edgar, unlock Umaro, Gogo and Shadow)
The glitch that happened was in the World of Ruin while I was grinding levels for my lesser used characters. I would use one high level with three low to give them some defense while wondering around the world. This one was a group that had Umaro Relm, Locke and on other. We entered a random encounter and the screen went black for a whole second and when the combat screen came up the 4th person was missing Locke and Realm were there and Umaro was replaced with General Leo with vanished cast on him making it looked like it was his ghost fighting with us.
Its a shame that it was against some weak randoms but we fought and I got to use Leo's Shock ability and we won the day.
When the battle summery came up the background was black (I changed mine to a pattern color) and the summery was long listing a lot of weapons, armor, items and relics. Right after I went into my menu and Leo was not there but all the items were.
Some items maxed out at 99 and some had either a 0 or 1% next to them. This included Excaliber, Genji Glove, Snow Muffler and Economizer Eggs.
Now, technically there is only one Economizer Egg in the game but you can go to one forest and farm them for hours. This item reduces your magic cost for any spell to 1. Meaning that if you had Ultima it would cost 1 instead of 20.

As far as I can tell, this type of General Leo ghost has not been reported by anyone else on reddit or youtube. The General Leo that I have found required a lengthy set of steps to get Leo as a party member but not as a ghost and no item glitch as well.

I am glad that I still have the save and I know that it could be lost any time now if the save is dependent on the battery.
This is something that I don't get to share because no one is interested in something like this. I just wanted to get it down somewhere as a good memory and maybe there is someone out there that knows what this glitch is.

Third one unlocked over at my Ko-fi. Check it out, and if you feel like it leave a tip. Always can use some more cheese.

Also, I have been away recently due to issue at work that have kept me very busy. This coming week I hope to be back to a somewhat normal hours.
We shall see.

Update on my health.
Thank you every one with your well wishes and all other support during this time.
Where I am at right now.
I am in full recovery and getting back to routine. Still on medication and getting strength back. I get winded quite easily and need to be mindful of my movements.
Those that are a bit more interested in some details here are a few things.
With some flu like symptoms it moved into a fever and chill with difficulty breathing. I was on oxygen for about a week and unable to walk more than a few steps before losing mybreath.
A side note. Be honest with how you feel and with any medical issues you have. I have type 2 diabetes and its uncontrolled. Turns out that some steroids that you can be given will mess up your blood sugar and need to be checking insulin multiple times a day.
In the end I was taken off oxygen after a few days and have been spending this time regaining strength. I lost a lot of muscle and fat during this time and now have to recover that muscle lost.
Art, I am returning to drawing and coloring. Its going to take me a while but I will be getting back to KO-fi art, commission and an art pack in time.

Thank you again for your support and there will be more to come.
Sebastian
