If you wanna check it out you can find the link in #announcements in my discord server (link in bio).

Thanks for your support once again!

So given the current situation over at Twitter I've decided to open my discord to the pubblic
also I remade the invite link in my bio and this shoudn't expire, let me know if there are hissues btw

https://discord.gg/xwSqyaHMCH

Last time I opened comms some people coudn't find out until the last minute or when it was too late, so I'm making a discord just for sending updates on commission opening

You can follow the link in bio, if it doesn't work ask me in the DMs for the invite, it's just for that atm, but I'm planning to expand it when I'm a bit more comfortable with it and find some mods

Look big number!!
Thank you all for the support once again!
Let me know if you would like something special to celebrate or have any ideas

Just wanna take a moment to tank everyone for following, commissioning and just appriciating my work, I just feel so lucky I can do what I do.
Might be one of those nights where I get all sad and existential? Yeah probably.
Tho I made a similar post on the birb site tho this one is really specific to the ones who are sticking here as well, truly means a lot.
gonna try to deliver way better stuff and mabye start working on the discord and patreon I mentioned way back 2 months ago, time will tell

<3 <3 <3

You read the title, go for it
I wanna interact a bit more with my FA community and what better way to do so

Sooo for this 2023 I'm planning to try out different metods to interact with my audience, the most simple of those is discord of course.
I know I know, everyone got a discord now and for many can be annoying to just jump around server to server and that servers needs mods and need to be active to be actually enjoyable, but I'm sure I can figure it out (mabye even just as a private/semi private to test it out before making it full pubblic).

Now a patreon is a totally different thing for me: no clue how it works whatsoever so I'm looking for more experienced people to guide me with that.
For patreon rewards I think I could just go with sketches, downloadable pdf and photoshop files of my drawings, discarted stuff, secret drawings, all my LAMBboy art for very nostalgic people, sketches preview and updates on future projects hopefully. I would actually like to make patreon rewards, tho I would like to wait until I've finished uni so I can go fulltime hopefully, cuz it's already hard for me to get commissions done, but another thing I could try is patreon suggestions (I know is not much so I will try to keep the tyer low).
Also going back to discord, mabye could also try making it a patreon exclusive, tho still not sure if it's my stuff, but mabye it could help making it a more active server.

If patreon ends up being not my thing ko-fi could do the job for tips and stuff, tho there is something to say:
The all reason why I'm making this journal is less about money, since I'm still far from the perspective of full time, and more about interacting more with follows and explore more fields.
Hate making promises, but will try to do my best sooo the discussion is open atm

As you probably know, twitter isn't looking that great in these days. I don't think it's gonna go anytime soon, but many artist are already preparing themself creating plans B with other platforms so I might do it too.
These are the options I've concidered (aside from FA since I'm already pretty active here):

Tumblr:
The most famous one, unfortunatly doesn't allows porn as you all know... but allows nudity. You can argue with the fact that my stuff isn't that explicit, but still I'm not bringing fetish stuff on a SFW site. Might use it for other SFW projects and to keep contact with other artist, but yeah that's it.

Deviant art:
Same as tumblr, but kinda worst, plus FA works way better so not my choise

Pixiv:
Know nothing about it, but I heard you can post NSFW there soooo if someone knows more let me know

Mastodon:
Looks very interesting, it as most of the features you had with twitter and it had a download boost since the migration started, the only thing is that is pretty confusing to use concidering the decentralized nature of the site, would take soooo much for the comunity to actually get used to it and also still don't know what server I should go with and what server allows NSFW

Newgrounds:
Looks good, it would be just another gallery tbh, but better than nothing I guess

Other? Let me know and tell me your toughts about it

EDIT:

Pillowfort is also a choise, but it has no following whatsoever and I doubt the server are gonna andle the migration.
Also a little talk about discord: Now as a platform discord isn't a social like twitter, is just a place for comunityes to hang out, play games, chat and stuff, you can't really follow anyone or make a gallery to promote yourself as an artist, however I wouldn't mind to create a server for my follows to hang out and chill, plus discord is adding a few new features like homepage for every server, so that's interesting I guess.
Also I never used reddit, idk if you can do something with it, but let me know

First of all yeah this is kind of a vent so my apologies and if you read the title with concern just wanna say I'm good, this is more like a general speach on something that as been bouncing in my head for a wile now.

So years ago when I was still in art school I used to say that I did wanted to make a living with art, but I didn't really belived in that, I was studing grafic design and I just thought that art was still hoing to be just an hobby. Well now I'm 20 and even if I'm still not making enough to go full freelance, I aknowlege that I'm doing a job that's actually pretty close to what I wished for years and I got to know so many artist like never before.
Overall I'm grateful for everything that I got in these few years and I wouldn't trade it with anything... so... what's the downside?

Well starting from late 2021 I started having these frequent panic attacks for all different reasons, I guess it was because my brain at the time just coudn't proceed the fact that I was getting so much attention all at the sudden and it got so bad that I had to leave my old twitter acc LAMBboy.
When I left I think I just experienced the 3 worst months of my life, I coudn't make art and the one I could make was just a display of all the shit I got in my brain at the time and I went to my university everyday like a zombie, like I actually thought my life was over at the time.

I eventually get back to work and here am I! The all good Rem, plus I did improved my comics during hiatus. However I realize something with that experience:
I may have a serious problem with myself, like I know I rely too much of my meantal healt on my job and I'm sure that if I'm gonna fail here I will just go back to that feeling of uselessness.

And that's where paranoia comes in: I'm fucking scared every single day I could lose everything and just go back to that pit and sometimes it gets so bad that I can't even work on larger projects, knowing that is not gonna matter when I'm gonna fail and even prevents me from enjoying the little things that usually makes me happy. And I try to find some escape like mabye if I got a plan B with another comunity/hobby, I take karate lessons, study fine arts and go out with some dudes, but in the end nothing fills me like drawing... and knowing it's not gonna last just eats you...

I wish I could know if I'm taking the right path in my career or it is just cheating and I should have keep working on grafic design, but I also know that I'm grateful for everything and I won't throw away my chance to do something good.

If you reach the end of this long journal thank you, it means a lot and I hope I can make more for you in the future
Goodnight everyone <3

So my biggest hissue when making another drawing that isn't a commission or trade is what to prioritize more, let me explain:
The biggest thing when it comes to balancing work is when you wanna make something good, for example a good setting, idea, color plalette, background, character development (and by that I just mean making more for a character in many pieces so it gains an identity) OR you wanna make something horny, I mean like something that came with the only objective to please the viewer.

Of course I think these are two valid prospectives, but I can result in burnout and delays when you wanna do both so I usually end up focusing more on one per drawing

Now the question I wanna ask is what really brought you here and what would you want to see more off? (Mabye you didn't asked yourself that and you probably don't even remember my stuff instantly, but still judge on your own taste)

Also many are probably gonna say "just do what you want" and yeah of course I will, but still I'm really curious

Also my gallery could feel like a real mess because I got too many kinks that many could like and other not, like one could like drone and not vore and others could like vore, but not scuba suits.
Still curious btw
