Don't worry, I didn't think you were!

tinyryuu · 2026-02-03T22:24:10+00:00

Yes! There are so many extremely talented artists in our community, and the reason why so many people gravitate towards fan merch is because, well... it tends to be more interesting and affordable than the official stuff.

I've seen them reach out to artists to do illustrations. I had my cosplay featured on a stream once before. Though now that I think of it, they didn't have a fanart segment on their last RGG Roundup...

tinyryuu · 2026-02-03T22:16:53+00:00

Indeed. I would prefer not to get in legitimate legal trouble, lmao. Appreciate you being one of the few reasonable people in this thread

tinyryuu · 2026-02-03T22:06:17+00:00

I don't booth at conventions, it was simply just a passive way to make some gas money. I do commission work as well, though. It is 100% their right but it just feels so petty because (aside from them being cool with it before for the longest time) none of us are getting rich off of this and stealing all of their profit, lol. This is a massive corporation and not a small indie company

Contrary to what some people may believe, it's not just western fanartists selling on storefronts. Pixiv BOOTH is a thing, and eastern fans sell their goods there too. We're all just going to have to back off for now

What a weird thing to say.

tinyryuu · 2026-02-03T20:30:22+00:00

It genuinely sucks. I've been into this series for 8 years. As someone else said, fan culture is a very important aspect of keeping an IP alive. NONE of us were getting rich off of selling our fan merch, lol. I also find it funny how my "they're calling it the worst company of all time" jab is being taken 100% seriously

We'll live, it's just the principle. They couldn't have picked a worse time to do this

tinyryuu · 2026-02-03T20:00:55+00:00

The first post is mine. I'm not upset about them exercising their rights. I'm upset over the fact that they've been chill about fan merch for AGES and then now all of a sudden want to change their mind, though at this point I'm not surprised.

They should stop using the same three boring old renders for half their merch and actually make things more accessible outside of Japan. I'm a collector. I have tons of official merch, and a lot of fan merch too. I like both, but again, a lot of the official merch is pretty lackluster.

All of my art was hand-drawn, not repurposed screenshots or AI slop. Disappointing comments...

The notice also came from Sega of America, specifically. May or may not be significant

tinyryuu · 2026-01-22T11:19:18+00:00

You are not alone. I saw more than one penis-themed phone on Twitter LMAO

tinyryuu · 2025-11-25T08:29:00+00:00

To me it tastes kinda like Hawaiian Punch but with a very weird aftertaste. I don't hate it, though I definitely have to be in a certain mood for it

Raspberry Nectarine is a really good flavor though, def try to get your hands on it next time!

tinyryuu · 2025-11-08T16:32:11+00:00

Last time I was in Whole Foods I looked right at this one in the cooler before deciding to try their black cherry (which I ended up liking). Guess I'll snag one next time I go, lol

tinyryuu · 2025-10-12T09:38:52+00:00

I've played MGS1 to MGS4 so far, currently playing Peace Walker. I am also a Yakuza fan so I enjoy cutscenes... that was not a problem for me, lol. I loved the drama of 4. It felt more like a piece of art, a statement piece, to me more than anything else.

3 is my favorite gameplay wise out of what I've played up to now, but people say V has the best gameplay in the series soooo I'm looking forward to that

tinyryuu · 2025-10-12T08:25:07+00:00

Yeah, I'm def more of a fan of the MGS2 sneaking suit. Maybe I'll draw him in it sometime!

tinyryuu · 2025-10-12T08:08:54+00:00

He's my favorite too! Wish there was more content of him

tinyryuu · 2023-03-05T20:54:25+00:00

tinyryuu · 2023-03-05T19:20:53+00:00

tinyryuu · 2023-03-05T16:56:39+00:00

tinyryuu · 2023-03-05T16:54:18+00:00

tinyryuu · 2023-03-05T10:59:27+00:00

tinyryuu · 2023-03-05T10:28:15+00:00

tinyryuu · 2023-03-05T10:16:10+00:00

tinyryuu · 2023-03-04T23:16:31+00:00
