I know right!? He's such an interesting character because he has this duality to him - one side being that creepy, skeletal figure with the hollow stomach and then the other side being the sweet sexy boy who just wants to be loved. 👻💞️

Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte, ich weiß sie zu schätzen. Und ja, hoffen wir, dass es noch weitere coole Ideen gibt, um diese Geschichte in Zukunft am Laufen zu halten!

Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate them. And yes, let's hope there are more cool ideas to keep this story going in the future!

Well, I don't think there's anything particularly wrong about continuing to do what one loves even when apparently no one appreciates it. In fact, I would probably argue that it's rather admirable and courageous. After all, most people would probably choose to simply give up and find something else to do instead. But doing things that more people like - essentially just makes one closer to normies, which is not what we want :D

In fact, if my art was more popular I'd take it as a bad sign because popularity often comes at the cost of uniqueness and originality - that's why 99% of artists exploit women, furries, memes and other topics that are guaranteed to please the masses while avoiding anything that might be considered too weird or niche. This phenomenon is known as "pop culture", which basically tries to make both artists and viewers conform to some kind of mainstream aesthetic ideal where everyone is pretty much alike and there's nothing unique or special about any person or artist anymore. And pop culture is nothing but a business model, its only goal to calculate what things sell the best, then brainwashing more artists to make them, and then brainwashing the viewers to buy them, making that short list of things more and more "relevant". That's why we have Frankenstein's monsters of product design, like RPGs where half-dressed women are fighting giant robots.

On the other hand, sitting in a total niche and doing everything to scare people off is also not very productive for an artist who wants to develop better skills and actually find other people interested in their work. So there must be some sort of balance between these two extremes - getting close to the breaking point without falling over completely. I guess this is what I am trying to achieve with my works...

So thank you for your continued support! It means a lot knowing that someone still cares enough to read through all those long texts and look at all those strange pictures... ;D But yeah, I think everyone should try to do whatever they love doing regardless of whether anyone else likes it or not, because life is too short to waste it on pop culture or other common business models, only to realize later when it's too late that you never really lived your own life :P

Well, haha! Thanks for reading the story :D

I'm glad things are going well lately in your opinion - myself I'm quite worried that people just generally hate everything I'm doing these days, lol...

I don't know if I really need to continue doing what I'm doing, spending more and more years on making pictures that nobody needs seems absurd. But then again what in this life isn't absurd? Camus says everything in existence is an absurd thing that was never supposed exist by any means - yet here we are, enjoying another absurd day! :D

Actually, an old character but in a new style ^^

LOL! Think I'll follow my gut instead! You know the ability to stick around for so long comes from just letting things flow naturally 🌊😄

Was meant to be young Sebby.
