Hello.. dear my supporters.

Are you all doing well and healthy?

I'm curious about supporters' opinions on the future of LIMGAE, so I'm going to conduct a simple poll.

For now, the Lauma work is almost complete.

But the quality isn't great, and honestly, I want to die. Haha...

I think I'll finish it and release it soon.

------------------------------

I've been talking about my original work for a while now.

I've lost the ability to feel love for the characters these days, even just drawing regular fanart. Haha... I can't enjoy anything, so I can't even feel emotions when I see new characters.

So, I felt a certain limitation in fanart.

When my situation improves and I have more free time, I might enjoy content and develop feelings for the characters again, but I'm not sure. Haha...

However, thinking about story ideas and drawing original works always made my heart race and my heart flutter.

I felt like there was still potential.

However, I briefly worked on the story and storyboard for the new original work I was going to draw this month,

and then I lost confidence.

I realized I couldn't realistically control my work schedule.

When I thought about it calmly, there were a lot of complex issues. Realistically, there were a lot of problems. There are so many problems that explaining them all would make this post too long, but the biggest problem is the work time... haha...

That's why I need talent. haha...

Last year, when I drew EOG, I knew the same problem would definitely drag me through hell again.

No matter how much I think about it, I can't figure out the answer.

I can't figure out what's best for LIMGAE, whether it's my current Patreon membership structure or my work method.

Everything about LIMGAE is a problem right now. haha... I can't see the future.

Every time I've thought about what LIMGAE should be, it's always been the wrong choice.

I can't believe in myself anymore.

So I'm just going to do what people want.

Both fanart and original work have their pros and cons.

But I don't know which is the right choice for LIMGAE. haha...

Please choose which one is better. Thank you.

LIMGAE doesn't need comfort or encouragement right now. I want to know the analysis and solutions to solve the problem. Haha..

Realistic problems need to be viewed and judged realistically.

Thank you. And I'm sorry.

LIMGAE

Problems with drawing originals 1. I'm not good at managing my workload and I lack the confidence to keep to my deadlines. Even that simple storyboard was cut down considerably. I want too much for my abilities, but I can't control it. That's why I went through hell the last time I was working on EOG. 2. I could draw fanart intermittently while working on an original to promote it, but that would delay the completion of the content set, which would further delay everything else and make things worse. 3. Honestly, it's a mediocre story with mediocre quality, so I don't think it'll be popular. 4. If I were to draw an original, I'd have to make some changes to my Patreon membership. I'm going to sleep right now, but I'm writing this in a hurry, so my mind isn't clear, and there were so many problems. Now that I've looked at my original work from a more realistic perspective, I can't seem to feel confident. Haha! I'm planning on making some changes to my Patreon membership. This might be bad news for my supporters. Haha.. I really hope I win the lottery and gain financial freedom. Haha.. Or I hope I don't wake up from my dream. Let's go to the Pokémon world! I want to live in the Pokémon world.

Personal opinion. All things in moderation. It does not have to be black or white. If you have a idea, Run with it. If some months nothing inspires you, Do whatever's easiest for you.

I think it might be worth trying to do both. As of now the poll is split pretty fifty fifty; I think if you really want to do original content, it's important to figure out a way to incorporate that into your process, because I think when you love what you're making it will show in the final work. I actually really liked the designs of your original characters and I always love when artists I like share their own stories and ideas. It's something we wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. That being said, I also recognize the popularity of fanart and sometimes it's fun to draw characters you like as well; you seem to not be feeling for fanart characters, so maybe working on your own original work will bring the love back? Like, it could be a way for you to connect to other designs and storytelling again. I also think it's important to take care of yourself, not just physically but mentally. I think part of that is making sure you're taking time to feed your brain with the things you like. For example, it's important for a writer who wants to make novels to read other novels. But more broadly, I think if you are immersing yourself in storytelling, you might feel more confident in telling your own. I think it's also a skill like anything else and you get better at it the more you do it. As for managing the workload; maybe you could start smaller at first, and then gradually build up to the full storyboards. So maybe it'd be easier if you came up with shorter self contained stories or scenarios that you could complete in a more timely manner, and then do fanart as well. That way you can do what you want but you can also keep creating frequent fanart for people who like that. I don't know if that's the best option but I think that could possibly be a way to please everyone and give you time to figure out the best approach. These are just some of my thoughts. I know it's tough these days figuring out the right thing to do from a business approach. I also feel you on the financial freedom; if I was rich I would just pay all my favorite artists a ton of money and tell them to do whatever they want. But until that day comes, I hope my encouragement and my thoughts can help you in some way. I hope you take care and feel better soon!

I'd consider myself a long time supporter of your works and I personally look forward to artworks fitting for wallpapers. I don't think you need to work on a story or anything like it. Even text in the artwork isn't necessary for me (in fact I don't like text at all, haha). The character can be anything or any one and I'd be happy to support it. It could be simply one character, one image with slight variations. Nothing too crazy. Don't force yourself to overwork yourself. You've done great work!

Justin

It's hard to vote on this one because I want to see LIMGAE artwork, the subject (original or fan art) isn't the priority for me. So even though you want to leave this to the audience, I still think you should do what you feel like doing. If you want to draw real life cranes surrounded by water lilies then I'm down for it too!

Melchaia V

I mean, I see the pros and cons of both, but I'm not gonna lie... I would love to see you regain your passion for your work more than anything. Whichever path you end up following, so long as it is something you can find passion in, then that is the best possible outcome.

LIMGAE

Thank you for the advice. Actually, it's all down to my greed. Haha. I want to be popular, make a lot of money, draw fan art, and create original works. But compared to my greed, my skills are woefully inadequate. Haha.. So I need to focus on one thing, but I haven't been able to. Haha. There aren't many NSFW artists who create original works these days. I think less than 5%. Actually, there are a lot of fanart characters I want to draw. But the damn algorithm and the lack of popularity are a bit of a problem. If I were financially independent and already a popular artist, I could draw anything. Haha.. But that's not the case for me. I think I need to create original works to avoid being swayed by trends. Or, I can just focus on one series and absorb that fandom. I tried to improve on the problems I had with my original works last year, but in the end, my greed got the better of me. I've tried to condense the story and scenes as much as possible, but when I try to portray what I want to express, I feel like I just can't handle it. And the art style is holding me back. I've noticed this with my recent Lauma work, but I keep wondering, "Is this really LIMGAE art?" It could be a resistance to sudden changes. But it definitely seems like people don't like my low-detail work. I have a lot to say about this. Haha... I'm not sure what to do in my current situation. I'd love to do fan art alongside simple originals, but I don't know. I've tried originals a few times before, but they didn't hold up. I think it was probably a popularity issue back then, too. Haha. LIMGAE always makes bad choices. I can't trust myself. So I'm just going to follow the opinions of my supporters. This might be the wrong choice, but if it's wrong, I'll blame them!! Hahahahahahahaha thank you.. I hope it gets better.

LIMGAE

I feel like if I make even a small mistake in the future, I'll be irreversible. Haha. It could just be that I've been incredibly unlucky. But if luck applies equally to everyone, then there's something wrong with me. That's why I need to find my mistakes and improve. People can be misguided in their own flaws, so I'm trying to hear other people's opinions. Should I keep drawing fan art or try my hand at original art? Drawing fan art is the easy part, haha. But I don't have the ability to immediately adapt to trends. That's a fatal flaw. I've decided I don't have the ability to draw both fan art and original art. I think it's greedy. I don't know. I don't know anything. So I can't do anything. I like drawing. Because while I'm drawing, I can forget about real-life problems. Haha.. I don't know. Thank you for the advice.

LIMGAE

LIMGAE's art definitely has a "wallpaper" feel. I also aimed to draw something like the LOL splash art. Haha. I also thought a lot about the story (text). I thought the story could be told through pictures, even without text. But then I started to crave more detailed worldbuilding and character narratives. No one knows how the NSFW art market will evolve in the future, but I think storytelling will become increasingly important. Be it the AI ​​issue or the overheated competition caused by the shrinking NSFW art market... I also felt the problems with my low-detail work. But in today's market where anyone who doesn't ride the algorithm is left behind, craftsmanship is something only a very small number of people can achieve. Ordinary people like me will be left behind and forgotten. That's my current situation. Haha. It's not easy... Haha, sorry. Thank you for the advice. I hope it turns out well.

LIMGAE

Haha.. Actually, what I need might be a change to my Patreon membership. Hahaha....... Damn.. I desperately need financial freedom. Then I could draw this and that without worrying about anything. Haha.. I want to draw old characters! Originals, Ra#pe, and Gangb*ng. Hahaha.. I really hope I win the lottery. Thank you..

LIMGAE

I still enjoy drawing. I feel at peace while I'm drawing. But when I think about reality, it hurts. Haha. I think I need popularity and money to follow to find my passion. Haha. If I were a novice artist just starting out, I would have endured, imagining a hopeful future. Just like before. But I've been drawing for 11 years now, and I've been running Patreon for 9. My reality is incredibly miserable. Haha.. It's miserable. I'm in a situation where I have to start over. If I wanted to start over, I could. But the loss of the past 10 years always plagues me, and the inferiority complex from not having the popularity I've gained over those 10 years always hits me. It's not easy. Haha. Realistically, if you look at LIMGAE, he's neither talented nor unique. Look at other unique and talented artists. LIMGAE is just average, and he's not popular. That's the reality. Haha.. I have the fire of passion. But the results always extinguish that fire. Anyway, I won't give up yet. But I don't know how long I can endure. Haha.. Thank you.

It’s tough to see you feel so badly about your work and art. I think no matter what you do you will do great! You hold yourself to an impossible standard. If your art has flaws, so what? LIMGAE is LIMGAE and no one else matches your style. I hope you feel better soon

LIMGAE

I took some direction after looking at the supporters' opinions and polls. Thank you. I decided to reorganize my Patreon. I will write a post about the LIMGAE Patreon change later. Thank you for your valuable opinions and advice from supporters. I will overcome this difficulty so that I can finish 2025 well and see 2026. Thank you.

LIMGAE

There are so many artists in the world. Haha... I need a Thanos finger snap. Haha... I wonder if there are artists who envy me the way I envy other artists? (Or maybe not... haha...) Anyway, I think desperate thoughts create desperate situations and lead to desperate decisions. Haha... I'm preparing for the Last Dance, so I'll prepare well and go on stage. Thank you.(✿◡‿◡)

You should do more Jett art

My personal opinion: Let me start by saying that drawing what you want will always make it better - whether it be a fanart of a character you want, or designing and creating a full story. It's saddening to read that you don't feel satisfied with the quality of your work lately, While I do think your work is great even when you say you don't - maybe take a break for a month or two to think things through and for those months send some old reward, and when you come back you will feel better. Limgae is limgae, and I believe that LIMGAE is great. Please take care of yourself :)

LIMGAE

Thank you for your feedback. Haha. If LIMGAE were to take a break now, LIMGAE would probably be erased from the world. Haha.🤣 There are only two months left until 2025. I'll do my best for the remaining two months. I analyzed my problems and came up with solutions. It's not a perfect solution, but I don't think it's bad. I think it's worth a try because it allows for both fan art and originals. Actually, I think I should have changed my content set method a long time ago. It's not easy. Anyway, I'll do my best. Thank you for your support. Thank you.(✿◡‿◡)
