about more than grateful, my comic: it is "a Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) comic starring someone with too many arms.

about patreon: patreon is a place where you can financially support your favorite artists in return for rewards or just the satisfaction of helping them out... the reason i have finally started one is because i want to work on my own projects more consistently. usually, i cant focus on my work as much because i have to work on OTHER things first to get money to live, so i want patreon to be a place where people who want to support me and my art/stories/music can do so and i can work harder on what i love having a patreon does NOT mean i will be posting less publicly... in fact, Most of what I will post there will be thoughts on work i've done, and previews of art/music/projects i will be doing and want to do. finished artwork, comics, and music will still be posted on my regular sites as usual!

Re-found recently and finished today (8/30/2021)
"THE SECRET IS IT'S ALL IMPORTANT"223PengoSolvent2021-05-25 | I was going to make a video for this but I kept changing it so much. it's been 2-ish years since I made the song, I might as well post it. it feels like giving up a little even if i can just make the video later everything feels a little like giving up honestly
Lyrics: Believe true, and know this: I notice your heart's remiss. Mine is too, but don't dismiss, what I've learned wants no kiss.
I know it's not my show, and i've been last to slow my hand, yet god is not who I have found, and I will not devise around this.
Believe true, and know this: I notice your heart's remiss. Mine is too, but don't dismiss, what I've learned ...
La sonrisa no se cae, Como el sol nunca falla... No importa lo que siento, ni que sueño... y así será.The Last Time in a Long TimePengoSolvent2021-03-04 | finished this song in 2019 but had wanted to post it after another song The other song is finished too, but funny how this one got posted first anyway
this video also found many many ways to break so lets hope its fine now
Lyrics: [glitched out] Memories with you can't be lost...
God stop the seasons, keep the green on my leaves... Don't let Spring wither, and please grant my reprieve...
Ice and water, cold and cross... Can't we have it all? Yes of course, but good is it if we never reach Fall? (x2)
[both main sections of lyrics previously playing at the same time]
Memories with you can't be lost...Phantasm FantasyPengoSolvent2021-02-05 | I really should post 223 or The Last Time in a Long Time next but as usual I suck at this
Lyrics: (I really want nothing more than to talk to you, to tell you everything i need to say. I've learned so much! At least I think I have... The only problem is... what do I need to say?)
If there's feeling still within, I'll know it's true. The pond sits staring back at me, there's so much left to do.
I don't know if there's something to feel or say, just know that you're the first one not to laugh him off, to date.
Can I catch up when you've run so far? Bring angel feathers, and I'll bring the tar.
Being a shadow of a shadow of a dream, what does it mean to feel or to scream?April Fools FF14 Dance Party (Everythings Gonna Be Fine)PengoSolvent2020-04-01 | Happy April Fools! I'm making a side account for less "serious" music (as in, music that isn't as tied to my OCs or such, more shitposty)
Here's a video of me and some friends goofing in FF14.
Lyrics: Now, I want the truth. Eh, leave me alone, will ya? Come again?
Don't be afraid... Nobody's gonna hurt ya. Everything's gonna be alright. Another day to live through... Another day.
I have enjoyed your hospitality more than I can tell you. Hold your tongue, we're not at the circus. Very well, My friend, your wish will be granted! OK!
Happy days, weren't they? Til we meet again!
We're going to be so happy, Marcus! Ok! Now relax, and close your eyes, be careful cuz this is all in your mind... ...What're you doing?
That's enough of your chatter, go on, pour out the wine now.A Mountain Changes, an Ocean EmptiesPengoSolvent2020-02-06 | The song has been done for a while, just couldn't think of what to make the image... Ended up drawing something then playing with effects
Lyrics: We write of eternal things, for we are not eternal. We sing out all the thoughts we think, yet share we not, our journal.
Of greatest joys and lowest woes, we clench our words and laugh our blows; Thus we write of eternal things: for what they are, we shan't ever know.Martyred Mice (short animation)PengoSolvent2019-12-22 | wow its almost 1 am!
Lyrics: In the forest, I did hear a most curious sound... of martyred mice locked in debate, quite seemingly profound. "To do or not?" "To die in thought!" the mice went on and on, and so i sat beneath the crown, watching their time count down.Hold my HandPengoSolvent2019-12-18 | Interpretation between moods and people
Lyrics:
What do you do when the sun goes down and you never got out of bed? Why do you say you're all that shit, when really you wish you were dead? Todos te pasan, y todo te pasa, a mi no me importa. Cuando tu quieres, o cuando tú eres, allí todos verán.

Lyrics: We can't control it, so live side by side With that which you'd rather deny and hide... (x2)
Mercy, Grace... Sympathy, Haste... Good luck and fate to calculate. (x3)
Mercy, Grace... Sympathy, Haste... Good luck and fate to calculate. Keep your own visions close, Yes, balance is not without blows, But you can't isolate abrupt, yet expect runneth over your cup.
Is there a point to stay miserable if you have a way to feel better?

I first started this song on feb 11th 2018... I told myself I wanted to finish the song and image before a year passed lol....... barely barely made it
Lyrics:
How do you know what you coulda been? It's never quite clear in this palace of sin, Layered deep in the colors of an old leather smile, you can't help but dance with this old crocodile. It's never a burden, and it's never a trouble, to sit back, relax, and dance with a double, but even if this moment you live in won't last, you know it's much better than to die in the past.
Let the magic trick be pulling the wrong card, never let them see what they force to be true. It's going to be hard in the iron grip, but you're the only one who can promise to stay you.
Let the magic trick be saving yourself, piece by piece by piece, you will soon mend all the tears. Ragged doll kept locked away, I promise freedom calls; Recov'ry and happiness are always within reach.
and, god, i know... sometimes her hands roam and sometimes you cant say no ... to that I say there's nothing that's changed: you're still not to blame. it's not your fault.Footsteps on FadePengoSolvent2019-01-31 | Available for purchase here: pengosolvent.bandcamp.com/album/sundown-ep

Lyrics:
vamos, vamos a... vamos juntos a... vamos, vamos a mirar al narcisista y su alfombra...
Close, but no cigar! Hahaha!
"And when he laughs, it's like memories of a home you never knew, but always dreamed of..."
"And when he laughs, it's like-- when he laughs, it's like- memories of a-- memories of a home you never knew-- a home you never knew but always dreamed of-- always dreamed of..."
vamos, vamos a... vamos juntos a... vamos, vamos a mirar al narcisista y su alfombra...
Sin pensarlo, lo pisa asi y asa, un narcisista a su alfombra.
Ni tiene su propia sombra... ese alfombra! Pero el sabe la realidad: sus colores al otro asombra.
vamos, vamos a... vamos juntos a... vamos a olvidar al narcisista; no su alfombra

I didn't add the s to the apostrophe in the title because "hylsjest's" sounded like too many s's... i really did not like the way it sounded when pronounced, so i decided to only use the apostrophe on its own
lyrics: [occasionally] Days are long but not far-gone, it's all kept with me... Happiness and melodies, torn friendship and misery...
[main chorus] Buried deep in the folds and the forests of old in my silently crumbling mind, there are words upon words that I know I could find if I only had the time...
Lost in the haze of long winter-wed days, I go off and along on my own. No one to hold me, or scold, or disown me, with me, I've only my tombstone.Plural ImposturePengoSolvent2018-04-28 | song posted early on patreon: patreon.com/PengoSolvent

Lyrics: Flower petal, left behind strewn amongst metal, I have a question just for you.
Were you "loves me," or were you "loves me not," or were you never thought of at all?
Flower petal, I'll tell you a secret kept hushed between you and I, alone: "Loves me", or "loves me not" has no bearing; all I want is a while to sit with you...
Other flowers made intact, shall never know our toll... They'll never know of how it feels to fill the weathered hole.
We've found the other, we're now complete, so pardon if I may admit so true, when I'm with you, my troubles fade away.
And with our days, if I turn grey, steadfast I'll choose to stay, for what is there to do if not to spend my time with you?
The only qualm I know quite well is worry of the wind. If you're the petal, I am the stalk: once you fly, it is goodbye.
Flower petal, I am your black kettle, and I bring a question just for laughs.
Guisards are we to crave applause much long gone; shall you be my claque, and I yours in turn?
(Flower petal, I'll tell you a secret- -all I want is a while to sit with you...)Derivative Moment Album (song previews)PengoSolvent2017-11-03 | Patreon: patreon.com/PengoSolvent
Derivative Moment is an album of 9 songs! it's made up of songs already previously posted, that were united based on the characters in them or the feelings each song had.. its hard to explain other than that! its kinda personal
NOTE: this isnt a tutorial of any kind as my process is incredibly haphazard!! i 100% do not know what i am doing. it's also really fast cuz the original took maybe 8 hours ---- recently made a patreon, and some people suggested i make art video related goals for it, so this is an example of that! previous example is here youtu.be/u8-8i4J7Ovc
about patreon: patreon is a place where you can financially support your favorite artists in return for rewards or just the satisfaction of helping them out... the reason i have finally started one is because i want to work on my own projects more consistently. usually, i cant focus on my work as much because i have to work on OTHER things first to get money to live, so i want patreon to be a place where people who want to support me and my art/stories/music can do so and i can work harder on what i love having a patreon does NOT mean i will be posting less publicly... in fact, Most of what I will post there will be thoughts on work i've done, and previews of art/music/projects i will be doing and want to do. finished artwork, comics, and music will still be posted on my regular sites as usual!
any and all support is appreciated, thank you!Music Development of: Bridgefall (Part 3)PengoSolvent2017-09-03 | LINK TO PATREON: patreon.com/PengoSolvent
Video starts talking about song specifically at: 1:03 LINK TO PREVIOUS VIDEO: youtu.be/akdXryjD4uY LINK TO BRIDGEFALL: youtube.com/watch?v=0G8MGtQRats NOTE: I AM NOT FORMALLY TRAINED IN MAKING MUSIC! nothing said or written in the video is advice or smart probably ----
recently decided to finally make a patreon, and got an idea to maybe make some music progress things like this as a long term goal, since people ask about music things sometimes! I learned a lot making this video first off: having a patreon does NOT mean i will be posting less publicly... in fact, the reason i have finally started one is because i want to work on my own projects more consistently. usually, i cant focus on my work as much because i have to work on OTHER things first to get money to live. i want patreon to be a place where people who want to support me and my art/stories/music can do so... Most of what I will post there will be thoughts on work i've done, and previews of art/music/projects i will be doing and want to do. finished artwork, comics, and music will still be posted on my regular sites as usual. Also, there are only three reward tiers, which are all relatively cheap specifically so its easily accessible even to people who DO want to support me but can only spare a buck.
with that said, IF YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR REWARDS/GOALS ON PATREON READ THIS:
as mentioned above, i want patreon to help me get my work done, which means that rewards or goals need to be relatively low-pressure. on my patreon page, you can read the rewards and goals i currently have as examples
Rewards rewards cannot take too long in comparison to the amount given, as they would eat up a lot of time, and result in me working even less. Example: - sending a button to every patron, even if patrons paid shipping, would take a large amount of time (making the button, getting all the addresses to ship to, packaging them, shipping them)
Goals when suggesting goal ideas, keep in mind that even though goals are more longterm, they can add-up timewise. for example, if every goal is doing something new once a month (posting a song once a month, a comic once a month, a video once a month, etc etc) there will eventually be a point where i'll have no time at all left to do anything because im rushing to finish 50 things in one month
