I got Verified on vGen!! I am really really happy!! And also I have all (5⭐️) Reviews!! It's not me who says it! It's my clients!!

Please check my work out and if you want some art for yourself, check my vGen! I'll be happy to see you there~

Economy lately has been awuful, I know, stuff has been going on of which I really don’t desire to talk about. We all know, we all have been living it.

But alas, I am a full time artist and I really need to eat. So I will give you all the ways (paying and free to play) you can really support me (or any artist you like).

For starters, I have commissions open. This is the expensive but fastest way you can really help me out with my living, bills, feeding my cat, getting groceries, clothes and all the basic stuff a human needs to live and survive this world we live in. You can get your commission through my vGen, or send a DM to my Bluesky or any other media you can find me on (like NewGrounds or Furaffinity). I had open DMs on Twitter but each and every day I had at least ten bots in my box trying to scam me and I got really tired of it so, not an option anymore. Links are embeded on the text but you can also find them on the left side listed under my profile~

Then we have Patreon. I really wish to be more active there but commissions are my first way of income so I really need you to take a leap of faith there. It's a monthly subscription that gives you access to my whole art library, my discord server and a lot of content that I don't post on media, like my OC's stories, chats about my day, and practical jokes. Eventually I plan to draw more minicomics and short stories, and try to make more patreon exclusive art (tho actually a lot of my unfinished work is there) but for that to happen I would need to get a good number of patrons to be able to span out the number of commissions I need to take every month. Prices are 3USD and 5USD monthly, with 5USD you also get the .PSD and Timelapses of my original artworks.

If you don't really have the motivation to pay monthly, or the means to ask for commissions, a good alternative is Ko-fi. I just opened one after a lot of thought around it. It's a simple tipping page. You can pay for a "coffee" and the money just goes straight to my PayPal. Kind of a "good job kiddo, keep going" thing. You can do a single payment, from the simbolic coffee to a large sum of money (tho I don't think I will ever get a 2k tip haha, I'm just wishing here) and then just keep at your life. If you have spare money, Ko-fi is a good option to help out your artists and don't sweat about the money.

And finally, the F2P method. Just interact with my art. Being here, Twitter, Bluesky, Furaffinity, Newgrounds, wherever you find me and my art, just like, comment, repost, even saving it into your markers will help. Algorithm is abusive these days, and if people don't engage on the content, it really feels like everything we're doing goes to waste. It's simple to push a couple buttons, even if you only push "like". It gives us hope, motivation. We shouldn't be worrying about the numbers but it's the numbers what gives us the money we need to live from the art we love making. Sad but true. Share our art with others, spread the word and the art (and the sexyness) to the whole world. That much is free (for now, at least).

I used to have instagram but it really wasn't working, and then I had a TikTok but I can barely do art to, on top of it, have to do all that requires to keep up the rythm of tiktok content creating... Also we have to mention that every single video I tried to post after my first one got banned so my account got thrown into the abyss forever and now I only use it to watch memes and cat edits...

And that's everything you can do to help me (and other artists) to keep doing what we love. Thank you for reading through all that.

Anyway Bye~

Oh boi. I had a very... interesting DnD session yesterday.

A little context: We are playing Dungeons and Dragons and we're a four member party formed by a Paladdin, a Rogue (formerly a Mage), a Druid and a Warlock (me). My character is a Genasi Warlock, very handsome (Kouran), and has certain atraction to the Tiefling cute-ass rogue (Dahlia) who's the adopted daughter of one of the captains of the Portuary Town we're currently questing.

We're investigating the murders of a bunch of tieflings with flower names by the hand of a strange cult (so obviously we all think Dahlia will be a target at some point) and in this session we had to investigate her mother (Hismaya) and the rumored lover of her, Viren, another of the captains.

SO! I was in the task of distracting Hismaya while the Druid investigated her office. Kouran is a very charismatic warlock, he likes the sailor life so he can get his way into a lady's (or man's) bed (not on purpose for the most of it, he sucks at flirting actually, he's just very handsome). Hismaya has a brothel, so she's a madame, and Kouran works for her at the tavern, doing mermaid shows since he can actually breathe underwater. They talk a lot, he's distracting her quite well until she leads him to her office (lucky for us the druid had finished her investigations and was going out at the time disguised as an ant.

We go into her office. She locks the door. Shit.

She starts to question me... about her daughter!!! For the stuff we could see during the druid's searching for information, she has a ton of drawings and diaries of Dahlia from when she was a kid, so we know she cherishes her baby somehow, she's protective and a single mother so, of course, she was intimidating. BUT!!!

She... seduces Kouran. Oh boi. She puts incense (apparently was not enchanted but... bro) she uses her brothel skills to the max, asking me questions, threatening Kouran that if he hurts Dahlia's heart, it will be hell to pay... Then she sits on the desk in fron of him, opens her legs (right into his face) and he stammers something about "I respect women despite my promiscuous appearance" and she goes... "And what if I don't want you to respect me?"

No need for saving throws. I was done. Star Transition(?). You remember that Hamilton musical song? The one that explains about Mariah?

Hey...

Well HAHAHA. After going to group B for their investigation of Viren we all reunite on our basecamp (a Tavern called the Beerholder) and of course they can smell the incense... and the other stuff... And Kouran is quite ashamed for being tempted into that stupid trick (he's just a man, and I'm a sucker for romance drama) and Dahlia of course was pissed. 

We later on had a conversation about the situation and it turns out IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME HISMAYA DOES THIS TO DAHLIA??? So, yeah. Kouran is kind of safe? Of course Dahlia is mad still, but she admits he's CUTE!!! 

I love these two dorks. The scene cuts there and we have another session programmed in two weeks. So if you liked this post stay tunned for more DnD gossip(?).

Tell me about your romance dramas in TTRPGS!! I know I'm not alone in this!!

Anyway Byee~

-A bit about me

Born in Mexico, raised in Spain. Grew up in the era of the begginings of internet. Back when blogger, myspace, hi5 and facebook were the top places to be. We used MSN to get in touch with our pals and Skype was the best friend you could have to contact your family.

TLDR yes, I'm old. A little Respect.

As a proud anime and manga lover I can say of course things at home weren't always so good, but even with all the fights with mom, she never tried to stop me from creating. She just wanted me to focus on the right path but not even her knew how to raise me to my full potential. As a result, we might say I'm a late bloomer at art but have tons of experience in life.

Years have passed and after a lot of struggle with dayjobs and life as an adult (not a functional one, just, adult), the damn pandemic, two depressions and an oreo(?), I finally decided to take the leap of faith and dedicate purely to art. Thanks to my friends (and that one hit TikTok) I've managed to come this far! I am so excited to see what the future has saved for me~

I also love roleplay. Tabletop, pen and paper, larp, text, forums. I absolutely love the creative space about building your character and their world and interact with other characters and people around the world! You will probably see my OC's a lot in here!

-Let's cut to the chase

I've been drawing since I have memory. I've drawn my characters for ages, my favorite cartoons, my pets, my mom, my surroundings...

I actually decided to be an artist a bit after discovering anime and manga at 15 years old. Silly me was thinking about being a veterinarian or a journalist, when someone saw my drawings and went "hey, why don't you become a comic artist?" and realization hit me like Truck-kun, sending me right down the Rabbit Hole.

Since then I had to study harder than ever because drawing became my goal, and obviously my marks at school dropped terribly. Of course the educational system is not the best so, even after convincing mother of letting me take the artistic branch, I ended up dropping out of highschool.

It didn't stop me, I kept drawing and reaching out for my goal of being an artist. 

My first steps were through deviantart, under the name ~momomochyang. I don't think you can find anything under that name anymore. I refined the label to MomoPandart, it all dissapeared from the internet, tho I still have my files, of course.

Then it came Zylc Art. Half of that era is gone because I'm dumb. I've changed handle over and over again. Anyway, zylc was another acronym of my real name, the label started in Mexico, when I was full ready to become a known artist. I dedicated to traditional art and my teachers told me I had to use my real name in order for companies and patrons to find me and my identity more attractive to hire. I went to events, even sold merchandise like shirts, mugs, stickers... I worked with some organizations and was gaining some momentum within the latam community. But contacts weren't synonim of wealth. I had to keep working full time jobs and draw almost every day to get just good memories in exchange of my effort. Nothing wrong about it. It's just, it wasn't working for me. It went to hiatus for a while.

Paralel to zylc, Eroyaki was born. Ohh... Eroyaki. I tasted success there. It was my first contact with NSFW art. I really think I developed most of my early digital art skills, understood a lot of stuff about how the world of art on the internet works. In over four years I had a very good label, I got to 8k followers, met a lot of very good artist who luckily are still with me, and I really enjoyed art. I got nearly to 10k followers on Twitter and everything.

Pandemic came and looking to refresh my image I changed ZylcArt for PeixesWitch, later to be VyannaVT. Pandemic was the uprising of vtubers and I have a very curious mind, what could I've done about it? I now had too many accounts to keep tabs on so I deleted permanently ZylcArt and MomoPandart, leaving only VyannaVT and Eroyaki active. Or so I tried...

The pandemic took too much from me and I fell into a deep depression. During some panick attack I ended up deleting all my Eroyaki accounts. Dooming my career there for a while. I told you I was dumb(?). Tho I erased the accounts, a lot of art is still available on various... Ehem... shady places. Don't blame me guys, it was a NSFW account, of course it was going to spread all over the place.

The thing is, I erased my accounts and in the end I quit vtubing too. I changed VyannaVT back to ZylcArt just because I learned from my mistake and wanted a back up twitter account in case I needed quick log ins into apps(lol). I stopped drawing for almost three years. Just the casual art here and there, but really, just because I still loved drawing, not because I felt like an artist anymore...

But, I'm here now, right? What happened?

I. Got. Fired.

I was working on a dayjob, well paid and all the stuff. I got fired. And I simply broke. I was so tired, so sick of it. I just... UGH! You know? It took some time to get my ideas in order, but with the support of my friends (and surprisingly, my mom) I decided to dedicate myself fully to being an artist.

And so, I started Zeluvvu. I used another account I used mainly for NSFW and changed the handle. I was desperate for the first two months and then I made "Tears of the Slime". It started as a silly minicomic using the fuel of Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. And I posted it on TikTok. And it got viral. Full Viral. After that, TikTok slapped me in the face and took down all my videos each and every time, so I don't post anything there anymore, but that first video is still there. My friends also decided to help me and teach me new ways of doing art, with their help I improved really fast, I really feel I grew up as an artist ten years in just one. Kinda felt that I was waisting my time before that(haha). I used that TikTok hit as impulse, I kept on going for a whole year with that name, but then Twitter became X and well... You know how that's going for artists...

And so, in 2024 I became RoastedWitch. I got conviced to change my label one last time, trying to enclose my identity into a name that could define me with more accuracy. I kept my training arc until quite recently, but I'm still in awe of how far I've come since then. Now I live mostly through commissions, but I intend to loose the fear I have and make the leap to making comics! I would be publishing them in my patreon and I would really love to have them printed some day.

As you can see, my path hasn't been short. And I will keep going and fighting against the algorithms over and over again. This world we live in right now is crazy, but if you have read this far, I would love for you to join my journey forward from now on. Supporters like you are the ones making artists dreams around the world become true. Living from our creations is the thing that fuels us and keeps us going.

Boy that was long. You can go to the bathroom and prepare some snacks if you want(?).

-About my Art

I have my head full of stuff and I hardly ever manage to take it out. I love drawing women and feminine men. I love all that is curvy and soft and squishy. I like a lot of stuff, from witchcraft to pastel goth, to fantastic creatures, to maids, to silly memes.

Since I live from commissions you have to expect seeing a lot of my work dedicated to what I do for the money that feeds me. Original characters from people and the casual fanart. Just go check my gallery, you'll understand what I'm talking about right away.

For patreon I'm trying to be more organized and I do a monthly request space so I can do at least a piece exclusively decided by patrons. The rest of my content resides in minicomics, all my sketching progress, and even unedit stuff that I don't post on social media.

I also try to draw my OC's, making a bit of space for them once in a while really feels good, but if you really are that interested in my art, remember to follow me on social media! You have all my links on the left sidebar on my profile~

-A little extra

- I'm quite into Witchcraft, spirits and the Occult and I'm a practitioner. So yeah, being called "witch" is not just a funny gimmick to me, it's part of my daily life.

- I wish to have a garden with little crops and a bunch of medicinal plants one day.

- I will grow old to be that lady with a bunch of cats that will eat her the day she dies.

- I have TONS of books I want to read, series I want to watch, things I want to learn, stuff I want to do!! I need more time to do all of that!!

- I tend to procrastinate too much. TOO MUCH. But in the end, tho slowly, I always deliver and try to do my best on every thing I do.

- I have a strong suspicion I have ADHD but no doctor has listened to me on the matter.

- Zelda Lindsman is not my actual name. It's just an acronym. But ZL are my initials, that's for sure.

- If you read everything, wow, thank you, really.

Today has been strange. It's the birthday of my OC, Maya, and I've been thinking about my relationship with role play.

I started roleplaying when I was 14. I was young, gullible and very creative, and my first OC was a sona for a writing forum dedicated to Ouran Host Club fandom (rofl). After that came a goth lolita vampire, and after that, came Maya.

Maya soon became my absolute favorite. My constant in life, the most assured thing I had. Since then she has been by my side and sometimes she became so close to me that I dreamed about being her, as if I was only writing about a paralel life instead of just a character. That's silly, I know.

I now have more than a hundred OCs (for real, 112 to be exact) and I'm only counting the ones I have used for RP or stories, not even their relatives or the NPC's haha. I had more, but lately I've been selling them or just deleting them. I have files for each of them with a bit of their story and some concepts about them. It's crazy.

I've met fantastic people in all these years. Creative minds, with a lot to tell. The stories we've made together will always be on my heart, even the ones I can't write anymore because for whatever reason the other person left. And a lot of them have stayed tho! And they are some of my most treasured friends after all this time.

All these RP characters are special and important, tho clearly I have my favorites, you can tell by the state of my gallery hahaha. I've played Table Top, Pen and Paper, Choose Your Story, Written, even a bit of LARP. I love creating new stories and different personalities with their own likes and dislikes, professions, culture... There's more information inside my head than what I can actually materialize in the form of art and drawing, but I really wish to take time now and then to show you my mind world through little windows like this.

Have you ever roleplayed? What has been your experience?

So picture the moment I emancipated, with all my books, my clothes, my computer, games, you know, all my stuff had to be gone from mom's house because she herself was moving to another town too.

But I took something else, I asked her, she was going to throw them away, I couldn't let her! So I took this loot:

Yes, it's all her tapes,original and not, even from the time when piracy was normal, when kids made mix tapes for their friends and loved ones. I even have one that includes some love songs from a long lost prince charming? These are pieces of history!! I couldn't just allow my mother to throw them out just because at some point we lost our walkman. Right?

So I bought it!!

I've been looking for the moment to grasp one of these. It's actually a full portable radio and tape reader/recorder, it was cheap enough, reviews vary, I just hope it won't break, but it shouldn't happen, it's not gonna leave my house, at least for now... I do want to experiment with recording music on tapes tho, I will buy a jack-jack cable to try, but I need more money for it (good moment to remind you guys I'm Open for Commissions on my vGen). I might also try and think of some analog horror story to narrate (all the Magnus Archives fans here). Dunno, I am excited to play around with this.

I for now I'm listening to all the tapes, retrieving all my childhood moments where mom put these on the car, or while we were in full cleaning mode at home. I've had a troublesome childhood and adolescence, but I can't relate any bad memories to listening to the tapes. The music in them is iconinc and always happy for me.

Do you have any tapes around? Do you relate them to any childhood memory?

Hello! Here with my first review. I might be rusty, but let's be honest, no one is gonna read this hoping for me to be a new gaming guru or something, so I will just say what I want to say and ramble a lot, probably.

This game was something between cozy and a lot to read. The kind of narrative adventure game that I can fit tight into my torso in the few hours that the story takes to develop. Steam says I played 13 hours but let's turn that down to 8 aprox because I surely had lunch and left the game running afterwards while having a nap with a full belly.

Two well spent afternoons, in my opinion.

So, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood. The game was released in 2023, it was developed by deconstructeam and published by Devolver Digital (who btw brought to us Cult of the Lamb, to mention one of my favorites). It's available to play on Nintendo Switch and PC. It's a single player narrative AND creative game.

The story is that you are a witch, condemned to spend 1000 years living in a meteor to think about something you predicted with your cards already 200 years ago. In your desperation, you summon a Behemot, a cosmic demon that will help you regain your freedom and help your dying coven (or not), for a price, of course.

Through the story you will make choices, meet very sexy people, and even be able to peep into the heart and mind of the demon you summoned. The main attraction of the game is that you can create a new divination deck through a three step system by paying a game currency you can easily get througout the story. Here's some of my favorites I made.

The combinations are quite unique since you can arrange the background, the main figure and the complementary elements as much as you wish, so no card will ever be the same. Never. The elements and outcomes of your divination spreads are limited to the ones the story can offer tho.

There's also mini interactive story games, they are quite unique and fun to play, I love when games have mini-games.

Now for my opinion.

I really love the aesthetic, the story, even the freedom of speech of the game that takes toll on life aspects like sex, gender identity, defiying the status quo and "a means to an end" -hence you summoning a cosmic demon to help (or not) your coven-. It's a really simple game, centered on the art and the story rather than awesome graphics and special effects. If you play it absolutely blindly, better, because the blind experience makes all your answers think about yourself a lot.

I fell in love with EACH AND EVERYONE of the characters. In this world, only "women" can be witches, but it shows a vast variety of women that are not just that. There's transgender characters, non-binary ones, even other agender species that make the cut to be witches. Ascension to inmortality is more about identity than just genitals, and I think it's well played in the narrative.

All character's aesthetics are GOAT and if you happen to be on my patreon you might already have seen them all or most of them, since I was non stop sending game screenshots (also I will probably make a couple sketches, what can I say? I'm a real sucker for a well designed woman).

They all have a story to tell, advise to give, and something to teach. All the story is a philosophical journey to what it means to oneself to be inmortal and to do the correct thing, wether it serves the whole community, or just you. Since the beggining of the game, all your decisions are important. You might think what you decide is "just the safe option" but even that might affect something important later on. Choose whatever feels best for you, I can assure you, even the worst surprises are delightful to discover.

There's multiple game routes and multiple game endings. I got a bittersweet ending tho. Nothing against that, my choices lead me to that ending, but I might appreciate having a save file just before the final decision, just to see what could have happened right after instead of having to play the game all over again. It will probably take me some time to consider going through all eight hours of gameplay, I'm those kind of people that enjoy the experience once and then can't feel the same with a re-run (yet I've watched Shrek 2 about 82357 times just this week). Still, if you like story-line centered, cozy, relaxing, creative games (and you like witchy stuff, of course) you might really enjoy this one.

And to finish, my rating is 9.8 over 10. My literally only complain is that "pre-ending" save file. I really recommend the game to anyone that has a spare day to play something chill and think about their existence within the cosmos.

Interesting facts:

• Deconstructeam is based in Valencia, Spain. I enjoyed a lot to play the game in spanish (my native language) and see all the culture references and homages made.
• All characters seem to be LGBT coded. Even the demon somehow
• The aesthetic is pleasing, it doesn't use ovesaturated colors, and it's full pixelart.
• Sorry if I make typos. Will happen again.

I can't be the only one who has the weirdest dreams. I mean, all my friends have those normie dreams about being at work or other daily situations that connect the same known people over and over. Their idea of a weird dream is literally "dude, I dreamed that you and my uncle were having a beer at the bar".

Lame.

I have dreams where I might be sipping tea at the top of a buildings antenna just before launching myself down to snipe the head of an alien with my fire shooting fingertips.

Or dreaming about my grandma having her car stolen and that the robber is quite obsessed on having also my soaked wet chanclas, while I have to take care of a bunch of exotic birds in my childhood house garden where a bunch of kids are playing basketball with a watermelon. That was specifically my last night's dream...

Anyway. Tell me about your weirdest dream that you can remember.

I am finally on the process to get verified on vGen!! I will have my official badge and be able to post more services, portfolio pieces and shop items!

You can hire me for commissions directly there!!

Listen, I don't make the rules, I used to blog a lot back in my youth and I had a pretty little blogger and had almost 1000 followers (and that is saying a whole lot if we think about it...). I even had an interview with Mike Inel (jeez...).

Stories aside, and lots of cringe I have been trying to forget over the last 15 years, I really enjoyed blogging and just rambling about my daily life and entertaining people with reviews and my last drawings and stories.

I might use this NewGrounds Feature to do so again, maybe rewrite some old stories and tales I had back then (yeah, that's anothe one of my forgotten hobbies, writing). I've been wanting to reconect with my creativity and I found that maybe tracing my past and rejoining old activities might help me remember why I started doing what I do.

Will you join me just to read my ramblings? Check my arts? Watch the ocasional anime I will review?
