I've raised my commission prices a little bit. It had to be done, since my prices haven't changed since 2018… And god knows, everything became freaking more expensive nowadays, so, I had to do something about it too… Since, you know, food now costs more money, and I need to eat, to live… %) What a concept, am I right?

Anyways… The prices haven't changed drastically. And I'll open commissions after my birthday on 22 of april. I don't want to get more work before that, cuz… I need to rest.

BUT. After that - if anyone, who's still reading me here is interested - feel free to message me and we together will fight against the goddamn broken payment system on the only platforms that still allow international transfers!

Yep.

I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE Way/ne

Hes such a good rep for male y/ns in general and I feel represented 👉👈

Heh, thank you)

[maddcactus-art]

Maybe if i go off anon? xD

I'm already going over The alphabet with Duolingo, listening to some podcasts For basics, but from My experience from learning English (my native language is spanish) its much easier to learn when You need to understand something intresting (like stuff You post in russian xD)

Heh, well, that's good and I do understand what you mean. Though, ironically, I'm not the best person to ask about content in russian (like books, series\cartoons, or comics), as I barely consume it myself. (Like, at the moment the latest thing I've watched was a chinese animation). I guess there's a bunch of Soviet animations (old cartoons of Soyuzmultfilm studio. Wikipedia has a list of their cartoons.) which you can look for. I bet they can be found on Youtube, maybe even translated. Some of those are worth watchnig. (I don't really like our recent animated films, so I don't suggest those. But maybe there are some good ones from Melnitsa Animation Studio. God, I hate their franchise with the Three Heroes %))) As for reading... I guess books are too much, unless you are down to read fairytales for kids (which are, to be fair, are pretty good) Maybe comicbooks }: ? We have a bunch of comics from Bubble Comics. (again, there's a list of comics that can be found on Wiki) I did like the Major Grom and Exlibrium series... I dunno if they can be found online though. But then again, I'm not sure if I can suggest anything specific, that will be helpful in learning the language.

Imma learn me some russian just to stalk you

Are there any russian show/comic/media that You could recomend me? To practice and stuff

Pfff. I guess it'll help to start with the alphabet %)))) You know, the basics? As I don't know your knowledge lvl of the language - I can't suggest anything really. The interesting stuff has the experienced lvl of language used, so... I don't want to suggest cartoons for toddlers. And seeing how it's for stalknig purposes - I'm not even sure if I SHOULD help you to stalk me }XD

[maddcactus-art]

Hope you're doing alright hun :)

I am doing swell. As far as an adult with back pains and responsibilities can be doing. And I'm too sour to be hun. %)

[maddcactus-art]

Splatoon and ybg crossover?

Nope. Not only I don't play splatoon, I also don't do requests %) So, no crossovers.

[maddcactus-art]

I guess I'll post it here too. I actually do not celebrate, as I am always alone and this day is more of a day of the mentally ill for me... But here we have two in one! A lovestruck idiot, who is also mentally not well. So, it's his day. I had to idulge. Happy St. Valentine's Day.

[maddcactus-art]

Dude you alive? Is there somewhere else I can follow you besides this Tumblr?

Surprisingly, I am alive. %) If you use twitter (or X, heh), you can find me there @MaddSadtodd, if you'd like. I also have insta, but it's been a looong time since I've used it...

Other than that - I post on Boosty (which is like a Patreon-like website), and on VK (which is... I guess our version of Facebook's and Twitter's unlawful child, lol).

For the questions 1, 2, 5, 18 😊

1. Show your most recent wip Spoilers! It's not really that recent, but this snippet I can show) It's from a fan comic I've finally finished sketching out lately.

2. 5 favourites of your own work? Here are some of the fav's. I still have a soft spot for the whole DBH fandow, so, I wen't through my folder with fanart with it, and just had to add some sketches from there. YB fandom is a big thing for me right now, so I have a lot of favourite drawings I did for it too… But, yeah. I post too much of it }XD So, here are some of my characters instead. 2nd picture - it was like, an OTP challenge, for a month… I think. I like how this one with Madd and Pax turned out. 3rd is also from a challenge about characters, which I did - I've picked Clark for that challenge, so here's him in the middle of the picture and Alice and Ben. 4th picture was a character idea that I've barely drew\used. He's a dude from a dream I had… And the last 5th one is I think is also from a character challenge. This one was about Lars (on the right), and here he's with Marcus in the catacombs…

5. Anything you haven’t drawn yet but want to? Hmmm... There's a lot of stuff I haven't drawn yet... I can't quite tell. But there's like a couple of pictures I want to make, with pastels and acrylic paint. I wanted to paint lighthouses. Or like, forests.

18. Do you have any larger projects you’d like to pursue? Like comics, shortfilm, a series etc? Ooooh, there's so many comics I want to make... I don't think I will be able to, but I'll sure as heck will try }XD I wanted to try animation, but - tbh it's not for me. I'll get insanely bored drawing same frames over and over, changing just the littlest of things... I don't have enough patience for that, unfortunately.

[maddcactus-art]

11. Favorite comment you’ve ever recieved on your work?

Hmmmm… I don't think I'll be able to like, tell exactly what that comment was… But basically it was about the way I portray people and body language? That was kind of unusual one. (I get a lot of comments on the way I draw hands now, heh. Before that, it was about noses, I think.)

But, to sum up, basically comments that have like, more meaning to me, are those where people notice small details, make good jokes, theories, stuff like that.

[maddcactus-art]

that would be interesting to answer later... yeah. I'm kind of alive %)

[maddcactus-art]

Hi, can't message you on "The X" (lol) but are you aware there is an account on Instagram who posts all of ybg fanarts and they posts your fanarts too? I saw only once that they mentioned you but poorly, and today they posted like a bunch of your art. Their ACC is @ / official_yourboyfriend_game

Hey) (ugh, the X }XD not only the rebranding is shit, but it seems to be working like shit too, huh?)) And, speaking of the instagram - no, I wasn't aware of that. I mean, I know there's like numerous accounts on insta and pinterest, and maybe some other platforms too, that re-post other people's art and mine too… But like, I don't really care… It's a shitty thing to do, especially if you didn't ask permission and didn't credit the artist at all. But, honeslty, I don't have any will or power to, like, fight with them all and try to talk\reason\complain about it. If they do credit me as the author - that's fine. If they don't - that's on them. I have better things to do) So, my view and policy about this whole thing haven't changed that much. Unless people start re-posting things that I don't want to show to the broad audience - then I'm coming for their asses }XD
