Hello all, not dead! Not sure why my life has been so uh, life-in latley but IM SURVIVING. Working on a simple ASMR video idea! Just something easy for the brain. Also watching the backrooms movie this friday as a treat so i'll probably upload a review video on my second channel later next week! Hope everyone is doing okay, drink water incase you forgot!
(This may be long-ish but its all stuff that needs to be said!)
First off, I just want to apologize for the lack of content.
To be completely honest, I think I'm coming to terms with an uncurable art block, which can better be described as an absolute loss of illustrative passion.
Something I've been struggling with for years now is my relationship with art, and I've tried many avenues to "revive" my love, passion, and drive to draw.
I find myself DREADING the idea of sitting and drawing, animating, even sketching. Drawing just doesn't bring the joy it used to, and it hasn't for a while, but I didn't want to accept it yet.
I did enjoy the paper and digital/animated versions of Paige! And doing ASMR has helped me to be more comfortable in my voice (still in progress though). I cannot express the amount of thankfulness I feel for the ASMR community and all my supporters! I don't think this is goodbye FOREVER, but for my illustrated carried content, I have to take a step back.
I just can't force myself to love drawing the same way I did before. HOWEVER, I still love CREATING, and creating doesn't have to be just drawing.
I wanted to try another avenue of content, sort of Commentary/Reviews on things I find interesting, or just want to rant about. I don't have to dread drawing for it, just using my silly 3D sculpture (as pictured tweaking below) and regular video editing!
(My first video is just a general rant, but my next two will be reviews of the Backrooms Movie and a full Amazing Digital Circus recap (including the finale).)
Anyways, I just wanted to make a post so you all could at least know what's going on and that I'm not gonna delete this channel or the free stuff on Patreon (which is everything) and that its not 100% I'll never post anything again but I'm certainly taking a long break and prioritizing other things both in the real world and in my content.
Thank you all again for everything! Love and Appreciate you guys!! 💖💖💖
Just wanted to make one more post this month. I've went ahead and removed any of the paid memberships on Youtube and Patreon.
At this point I don't feel comfortable taking additional monthly payments/donations while I find the time to work on the videos again, and I don't have time to make extra content like the desktop background either. I currently have no ETA as to when the next video will be out unfortunately, as things are still rather complicated in life.
But it felt wrong to have people sending me money when I don't have much to provide at the moment. So all content on my patreon is free for anyone to access (All desktop bgs and ad free videos). I'm also probably gonna delete me insta as well because I'm kinda addicted to reels again and its ruining my mental health and i never post anyways so i just want to get rid of it. 😭
Again I appreciate all the support and will hopefully be able to get back to making content at some point!
Also I'm making the discord public as well. I post art there sometimes so it's just a chill spot for sharing art/asmr/gaming stuff like that!
I'm going to spend longer between videos and upload less, but hopefully longer videos.
Long Version:
Okay so these last couple weeks/month(?) have been kinda crazy. A mix of recreating all my files due to deleting them trying to get rid of OneDrive, me being sick for like two weeks, and my mom getting surgery just this week (and will be recovering for the next month, which means I'll be taking care of her and my younger sister) has sort of made my work flow a little complicated.
I've been a bit financially anxious so I've been really pushing myself to make videos faster so I can try to post more, but obviously that hasn't been working very well. It also causes me burnout and feeling frustrated with making content. Youtube also isn't really good for relying on income, as how much they pay you various throughout the year.
However I want to keep making videos. Videos I can feel proud of and not feel rushed to hit deadlines. I'll be FINALLY getting a part time job to help with the financial stress of things (the job market has been so trash), so I can make art for actual enjoyment and because I want to make something cool.
SO basically my next video might not be out until next month. But I'll be sharing behind the scenes to my members on Discord/Patreon, and updating you guys on here with the more polished stuff.
I appreciate all the support so far and I apologize if the latest videos haven't met certain expectations.
Hope you guys have liked the recent videos! I'm testing out looping animations for longer times and making "simpler" videos, Apologies if some of the frames were missing or the loops weren't as smooth, def something I will work on in the future to double check! Working on the next "larger" project which is another alien video!
I had to redraw her since her files were deleted too in the OneDrive incident, but luckily the bg was saved on my patreon so i didn't have to redo that! Anyways here's a little sneak peak of the slightly new look!
That's right guys, you get TWO holiday gifts from Paige! A new video out this Thursday [2pm EST] and a NEW FREE Desktop Background which you can find on my Patreon here: www.patreon.com/posts/monthly-desktop-146308546
Thank you all so much for the growth on this channel, I only started it this year and I can't believe we're already at almost 50k! It's definitely been super motivating to share my work with people who look forward to and love my content.
Secretly hoping that maybe one day the channel gets big enough I can just do this for a living lol. I'm also thinking about making a second channel for non-ASMR content like animated commentary, art tips and other personal projects, but we'll see how much I can juggle lol.
Anyways thanks again all, and I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!! ✨🎄🎅 💖💖💖
Next video will be pushed back to next week since animating took a little longer with this one! I also need to re-record audio cause for some reason it only saved half 😭
Thanks all for the patience and also for all the love on the collab video! 💖
