And Anothe year is Gone.

Moving on

First, Thank you very much for the birthday wishes people (Specially to those who sent a pic ).
Second, Let's see if I can be more "active". Not sure if here at DA due to the known restrictions, but probably at pixiv, tumblr or twitter. About the patreon yes, most pictures are uploaded first at patreon but, aside from sketches, everything will be publicly posted eventually.

Finally, Let me tell you that I'm not going to (can't) write the link to my pixiv here, but if you have been following the latest FOP comic you should know it by now. If you are unable to "figure that out" probably you are too young to see that kind of stuff... or you can't move your eyes 1 milimeter :V.

And that's all, enjoy the final day .

Since I don't post many updates it's easy to track my journals. I'm sure that at least a few will remember that a year ago I mentioned that someone from my family was in the hospital, eventually things got relatively back to normal however, the entire year was somewhat stressful.
Anyway, just a couple of months ago the situation became worse and later apparently normal at the point that he came back to home, you know the calm before the storm, I posted some tweets about that from the hospital. The point is that back at home this person, who was my Father, passed away the day 23th of March.

Two weeks have passed since that day and due to some bad financial decisions on his last year there are still details and paperwork that must be solved but things are, once again, slowly getting back to normal. So I should be uploading at least some finished commissions at DA.

You don't need to say anything about this, I know that it's a complex topic, in fact normally I don't like to post drama or this kind of stuff but I felt that I should say something at least.

For now, see you later and have a good day people.
 

Time to a new update, first random things and the "important news?" at the end.

The Bad

Recently weather has been a bitch, in a single morning it rained so much that we had flooding problems, thankfully it wasn't extreme and nothing was lost.
It was worse because weather forecast predicted even more rain... So we were  expecting blackouts (which used to be normal some time ago).
But in the end everything went well.

The Good

Some may remember that months ago I mentioned some problems with my Graphic Card, basically with any game or different resolutions (Blue Screens and stuff like that), it's functional but old and cheap.

Anyway, I finally got a new one (GTX1060) and everything is ok. I was finally able to play on the PC so, I've been testing some games on Steam: Scribblenauts, Costume Quest, Sniper Elite V2, Age of Empires 2HD and some indies too.
Also, I tried the ACNL "Welcome Amiibo" update just a bit and literally (Lori) spent this satuday playing Pokemon Sun.

I grind too much on this kind of games so, by the time I attempt the first Trial, my pokemons were 10 levels higher than the Kahuna Matata. Around 20 hours playing and I just left the first island XD. Man, I'm slow... But I enjoy it.

The Relevant

People keep asking me about the sites where my pictures are posted so let me "try" to explain/talk a bit about that. Since my english is terrible please be careful and read between the lines.

Let's start with my blog which I barely use but, due to that reason, it's somewhat irrelevant and "neutral" so I can write/post the link here gara-batoz.blogspot.mx . You can find the links to my others sites there.

The death of Tumblr, the terrorist's victory.
I've had 3 tumblrs (if I remember): The first time I didn't know tumblr rules so it was filled with nsfw content therefore, it was deleted; The second one had a long life but in the end it was deleted using this garabatoz.deviantart.com/art/I… as pretext (Thank God in the DA version that word was censored ¬_¬); The third and last one lasted a week or so, barely 10 post, nothing nsfw and still I was banned again.
The reason according to tumblr, nsfw content reported. My assumptions? The same little bitches attacked again and, in tubmlr, you're guilty until proven innocent.
So, What's the deal?. If you are banned for nothing, there's no point in creating a new mail/tumblr.

Now I have Twitter too, which was created as tumblr's substitute but it's restrictive and used mostly for random stuff.

Then the good 'ol Pixiv. Basically all my 'finished' nsfw content ends there, censored due to pixiv rules. For those asking, you must have an account (which can be customized to display the site in english) and check your filters.

Finally Patreon.
Where should I start? Maybe from the beginnning: I heard about Patreon long time ago, the idea sounds attractive to many but for some reason it didn't feel that good to me. People kept telling me about it so I ended creating mine two years ago but, after looking at the regulations, I left the site.
Just recently, in the verge of my tumblr's death this year, I decided that is was time to "activate" Patreon as last resort.

I don't mention Patreon that much because I still have my reservations about the site, also the fact that right now it works as a tip-jar and the only 'reward' are sketches that normally are not posted online and seeing stuff before others.
There's people that don't like Patreon and I get it, but please understand (not from the viewer standpoint) that I'm trying not to risk anything anymore. Keep in mind that normally I have a good reasons to do certain things.

A single site for everything is probably the best idea, but I don't know which one allows any kind of 'drawings' since recently, those seems to be worse that real illegal stuff.

And that's it guys, until next time. (Hopefully, even with my terrible english some will understand the idea XP.)
