The First Vlog of 2016

In this episode I wanted to replace my old introduction video (because the old one was filmed back when I lived in Arizona) and talk a bit about what I want to cover on my YouTube Channel.

I also wanted to iterate the fact that videos and video editing are, for me, just a hobby. I have NO intention of becoming the next big YouTuber (whatever that means) or becoming a celebrity. I just want to make this series to have fun and let you in on the fun, as well.

(By the way, if you want to get video updates a day early or get to see video and comic scripts, that’s what my Patreon page is for).

Also, yes! I now have a personal Patreon page to fund projects like Thoughtful Dinosaur and The Legend of Jamie Roberts. If you haven’t checked it out yet, please do! There’s tons of perks available.

I want to reiterate – my personal Patreon page has nothing to do with Validation. Validation has its own Patreon page. The personal one is for all the other comics I make.

I gotta hit the drawing board again. That’s all for now.

Thanks for watching!

You. Are. Awesome.

New Goals for 2016

“Water Mage,” the first illustration of 2016. (Also on DeviantArt and Tumblr).

This year, I’m all about making things on the weekly.

The thing is, last year my goals were to do specific things EVERY DAY. After a while, that got really hard to accomplish with just one goal, but I had FOUR to keep up with.

This year, I’m going to go easier on myself in terms of production.

So no more writing 1000 words per day, no drawing two sketchbooks per day (though this year I’ll do my best to draw at least one each day, just to make sure I don’t get rusty), no more overloading myself with daily chores.

This year, I aim to… Continue reading “New Goals for 2016”

KickStarter Updates and Videos

The KickStarter for “Seeing Him,” the new webcomic made my Kia and myself, will end on December 15!

I made a video for the KickStarter on my own YouTube channel, which you can watch below:

We’re still not near our goal! So if you can, please donate and spread the word. You can get cool rewards like posters, stickers, or even a chance to get drawn in the comic.

But the best thing about funding Seeing Him is that you’ll help bring a story, featuring a trans man, to life.

Because there need to be more stories about and for trans men.

Again, the KickStarter ends December 15!

Here’s some art to show what the webcomic will look like when and if it’s funded:

In other news, I’ll be updating my YouTube channel much more often. Hopefully the next update will be the blooper reel for the KickStarter video. After that, there’ll be a video showing off a sketchbook I finished recently.

For the rest of December, I’ll be finishing up the KickStarter, making commissions, and wrapping up presents. But the webcomics I do will still update regularly!

Here’s another crazy thing I’m doing: starting Monday next week, I’m updating this blog every day, from Monday to Friday.

I’ll be showing never-before-seen sketches, posting more videos, talking about comics (maybe even discuss some comics history), and who knows? Maybe I’ll write a blog post you suggest.

Leave suggestions for next week’s blog posts in the comments below!

Thank you for reading, and I’ll see you on Monday.
