LIMGAE's About the plan from next month
Added 2025-08-28 12:08:57 +0000 UTCHello.. dear my supporters.
Are you all doing well and healthy?
Hello.. dear my supporters.
Are you all staying healthy and doing well?
I want to talk about LIMGAE’s plan for next month.
Recently, I received a lot of mental shocks. Haha.. even today too.
So I thought a lot about what I should do from now on.
I think it is the time to change the direction of my work.
From September, I will try to go with speed.
I will draw more works like the recent “Practicedoodle,” but with better detail.
I also want to try more variety in concepts and settings, like adding original characters or a little bit of story.
I'm also going to do these two-cut work from time to time. Whether it's fan art or original characters.
After making many works, I plan to choose the better compositions or concepts and finish them into Main works with detail, about 1~2 per month.
I need to think more about the content set composition and membership.
I had many thoughts.
About people who leave, and people who stay.
Anyway, for the people who like LIMGAE’s art, I want to keep as much quality and detail as possible. But the situation is not good.
It seems like it is not the time anymore where just drawing well was enough. Haha.. Or maybe I have no talent, or no luck.
For an ordinary person like me to survive, I think there is no choice but to change with the times.
Even if I change the direction, I will still try to keep the same detail and quality as before.
Maybe I can learn new techniques and make even better works. Haha..
These days many scenes and lines from movies come to my mind. La La Land, Amadeus…
In those movies, the main characters overcame hardships and smiled. I worry if I can do the same.
Anyway, I will try to finish the remaining works quickly and draw new works.
Thank you. Have a nice day.

Haha.. I don’t know. It’s just too shocking. It feels like I lost 10 years of my life. I feel hopeless. I don’t even know what I have been doing until now. I want hope, but I don’t see anything I can hold on to, no goal I can follow. Even if I overcome this hardship, I think I will live in fear for the rest of my life. Haha.. I know I shouldn’t think like this, but it’s not easy. Maybe I need to go to the hospital. No one will ever understand how I feel right now. Maybe I should just stop thinking and stop talking. Haha.. The only thing I can do is just keep drawing, Haha.. without thinking, without saying anything. Haha.. I’ll try to finish my works quickly. I’m sorry. Thank you.

2025-08-29 01:12:55 +0000 UTCI may sound like a broken record for repeating ever so often and i feel sorry for it, because many things have been said by many people - both good and bad things, mostly in trying to encourage you, to make you feel worth the time youre investing, not only for us but for yourself aswell and that is still the main goal. Im not good with wall of texts even if it does look like so from time to time, others can do it much better and i usually wanna keep it short and sweet. Conclusion: Its not always easy. :P So, what do i wanna say? Keep doing your thing until it works. Wanna try something different? Dont mind if you do. Did it flop? Totally fine by me. Go one step back and go a different path, because there gotta be one, far from the last one even. Talent and luck? Push them aside for now and worry less about it and simply do what those capable hands of yours are already able to do and much more. Dont worry too much about disappointment because you haven't, couldn't and probably never will, thats how i see it at least. If you ever disappoint me, ill tell you straightforward, so good luck achieving that one! (challenge: literally impossible) Just be LIMGAE and do LIMGAE-stuff i guess? I also wanna see a happy LIMGAE, not once but always and that is absolutely possible! Go LIMGAE, go!

2025-08-28 19:43:09 +0000 UTCThank you so much for taking the time to encourage me and give me advice. But I think I was too shocked these days. haha.. When I read your words, my chest really hurts. haha. It’s not like I didn’t try what you said. haha.. I think there were some turning points I missed. There were popular series and characters, but I didn’t draw them. What was I doing at that time? haha. I thought I was just stop still, but in reality, I was falling apart. Everything I built has been breaking down and disappearing. haha. The reason I'm in this pain is if you look at my current situation in a little detail, it's a mess haha. I know I should be positive and try to stay calm, but honestly my reality is not good. haha. I try hard not to let my mental pillar break, but it feels like there are landmines all around me. haha.. It’s not easy. I’m sorry for saying so many negative things even though you told me so many good words. But my heart just hurts too much. haha. For now, I should focus on solving the problems in front of me. That means finishing this month’s content set. I’ll do my best to draw. Thank you.

2025-08-28 18:35:28 +0000 UTCI do think quality is still important. I think you have a wonderful and unique style and that you should continue to feel pride in yourself as an artist. You are not the only person I support who has been struggling with this. I think some artists have been really fortunate to have snagged the algorithm with the way they conduct their work; whether it's through luck or the tempo of their work or the timing...I think a lot of it was luck. But I know what has helped another artist has been to do a little of both; they're focusing a bit more on really detailed pieces that take awhile, but they're also regularly releasing smaller, quicker pieces. It's kind of like, having a main course every month and then sending in appetizers, soups, and salads along the way. I think something like that might help you with the algorithm? I think a lot of it isn't necessarily your fault anyways; recently, payment processors have been getting really prudish, and I think social media has always been less than friendly towards lewd artists when it comes to exposing their work to people. You kind of have to fight twice as hard for the same result and hope that word of mouth can help with the difference. In any case, I really am sorry that you feel this way and I don't think any of you deserve to be forgotten for all the hard work you put into your creations, the creations that you share with us. I guess I'll talk about my interests for a moment. I am personally not really into more extreme stuff (monsters, really aggressive non-con, I have a sensitive soul lol) generally speaking but I do love your style and can always appreciate bondage/defeat themes that aren't too "harsh", if that...makes any sense? Which is pretty fitting for a 2koma instant loss sort of thing. I also love that you draw all your characters as adults. That's extremely important to me when it comes to lewd art so I really appreciate the beautiful women you draw. I like pieces where they're smiling a lot, too. That being said, I think you should be able to draw what you want at the end of the day and feel passion for what you're working on and I think giving yourself space to focus on growing as an artist in the direction you're interested in will help with motivation. If you can find a way to carve out some time to rekindle passion in yourself for characters you like, I think that will help. Maybe look at your most popular pieces if you have a way to do that and you can balance what you want to do with what works well for you. I also really like your original designs and I think if that's something you really wanted to do you could work on that too if you found space for it. I know it's difficult to figure out the best direction and there's no one right answer that will solve everything, but I do think generally speaking you can get away with a lot if you do a "one for them, one for me" approach. Do some pieces that are just for you and then do some that are designed to game the system and expose you to as many people as possible. I think you'll find maybe that then the balance between followers for popular stuff and followers here JUST FOR YOU and what YOU can offer will help you out. I think something with a storyline if it's something you are interested in is definitely a good idea that people will go for, but pinups and straight forward sex pieces are good too. That being said you can always have a little bit of both if you wanted, once you figured out something that works well for you. Don't give up. It's really hard for all of us right now. Financially, mentally, and so on. So I want you to know you aren't alone and that we're cheering you on, and to hang in there. I think you deserve to be proud of the hard work you've done thus far. If I was rich I'd offer a little more money too but I'm still working on that :P As for talent...don't worry about that. "Talent" to me isn't something you either have or don't have, it just means some people have an easier time than others. I think if you truly care and put the work in, you can grow your skill, and I think you are a VERY skilled artist, even if you don't think so. I also think it's normal to have imposter syndrome. I have it all the time at work; I think, I don't deserve to be where I am in my job, or I'm not actually good enough for my position. Same with my writing. But I also tell myself that I'm being too hard on myself...I think you have to trust in the people who believe in you and try to see in yourself what they do. That's what helps me when I'm in a bad mood and I'm too hard on myself.
