HECK this took too long to finish, hey look new video!!
Couple of things to note: This particular upload is not the final version, because hey, I worked on this with the intention of rendering and uploading in 4K, a channel first! Didn't do that for this render because I knew I wanted to make two or three miiiiiiiiinor ...

AaaaaaaAAAAAHHHHhhhh!! It's been over 3.5 years since I started this project and here it is, finally at completion! I know this is something a lot of you have been waiting for for a loooooooong time so I hope the wait has been worth it!
To note: This is still an early version of the video, being a (Slightly updated) ver...
2019-08-09 19:33:51 +0000 UTC View PostTime for an update I've been meaning to do for a while, finishing the rebrand I've done over my other media!
This comes with new versions of my pledge tiers and new goals, soooo let's go through everything so that everybody's kept up to date!
First, new pledge tiers:
AHHH it's a new video! First thing to note is it's a bit of an incomprehensible mess, at time of writing I haven't yet done captions but if you want to understand what's being said (Which for this video in particular is optional) come back once they're done.
IT'S ROADMAP TIME
Okay so I've got a plan in mind for th...

WOW it's a new video!
So today (March 12th) is my Birthday, and as a birthday present myself I wanted to make sure I had this video done in time for it. Part of that present to myself was deciding last minute to make the video immediately public as opposed to giving Patrons 24 hours of exclusivity. Hope you all don't mi...

Heyo! New video out (And was intended to be out before January ended, that obviously didn't happen- Likewise this video was intended to be January's video). Chances are this will be a little confusing for those of you who haven't watched JoJo (I recommend it, it's a fun show), so I hope the moving colours are at least enough ...

I stayed up all night finishing this video off, it's now 7am. Not because I have a deadline or anything, I was just so jazzed about this video I wanted to show it off to the world as soon as possible.
This is the first video I've worked on with my new fancy computer, replacing the one I'd been working things out on for several...

Hey again! So if you read to the end of last post you'll know I said it would have a sister-post, and here it is.
For clarification, these videos are essentially precursors to eventual future music videos, the intention being each beat and the timing of each lyric is carefully tracked and displayed, that of which I then use in...

...So this will require a bit of explaining. Let's rewind to about a month ago.
Shortly after stating I would be finishing Brony Polka Animated before the end of the year, I noticed I was getting a bit behind schedule, due to not only a bit of inevitable burnout, but also working on and wanting to release a third Viv's Spook S...

Uhhhhh so Halloween came early I guess?
I wanted to take a quick week off BPA to start working on something for Halloween... And ended up getting this done way way sooner than I was expecting. Likewise this is my designated Halloween video for the year (Because it's about death, so, like, spooky, ooooo),
In any cas...

Hey hey, so this might be a surprise for some of you!
Yes, for the past couple of months I've been back on full production for Brony Polka Animated, in preparation for AliCon 2018 just this weekend. It was extremely difficult to keep this a secret for so long but now that it's out there, here's part two (of three) of Brony Pol...
2018-09-24 14:12:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey! Let's cut to the chase: The past month has been super busy for me, so although I didn't have anything to post the entirety of the past month, I've got some exciting things on the way.
Hey hey, so if you've watched my 10 Year Anniversary video (Which I recommend you do so first), you might recall me mentioning the "Lost episode" I was gonna make Patron-exclusive. Here it is, "Friendship is Confusing"!

Today is July 19th 2018, ten years ago today I created the YouTube Channel that eventually became my livelihood.
I wanted to give a retrospective and history on the ups and downs my channel has gone through, showing how my channel evolved over time.
Hope you enjoy!

2018-07-19 21:12:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey! So this update was somewhat long overdue, there were a few things on my page super out of date and I went and fixed/reworded them just now. Go double-check your current pledge tier in case you want clarification.
Here's a few patch notes, the biggest changes include:
Hey, it's a thing! This is a special occasion as today's video is a video that'll be exclusive to patrons for about a month, up until the final Doors 3 video gets released.
First, for those who aren't aware: Doors is an animated collaborative work where a bunch of animators get together to string together a set of scenes toget...

Hey hey! It's been a little while since my last monthly update, embarrassingly. I'd meant for my "April Video" to be posted super early May to supplement the April update post I didn't make, but that didn't end up happening due to... Well, honestly I had other projects in mind. Now that May's come and gone however, I notice it's...

This video is essentially me detailing how I did everything, with some bloopers thrown in at the very end. Go enjoy that!
In the meanwhile I'll detail what's been happening on my end the past few weeks:
Between the date I released the Birthday music video and today, I'd ga...

New video, go have a watch!
Nothing early for patrons because I only just got the video finished and I wanted this out for April 1st, however I've got a Patron-exclusive video accompanying it coming instead... Tomorrow. It's 6am and I've got some sleep to do first.
See you in a bit!

It's my birthday! Let's celebrate with a new music video.
No early patron-exclusive time (Nor endcard) for this one, both because I wanted to make sure this was uploaded in time for the 12th (My birthday) and also because I felt an endcard would ruin the ending of the video.
...However I'm considering perhaps making a pa...
2018-03-12 18:58:40 +0000 UTC View PostIt was an odd thing staying up until past midnight, casually checking the little calendar thing at the corner of the computer screen, and seeing that it'd passed over to March when I thought I still had half a week to make the changes on my Patreon page I said I'd do before the end of the month. Yikes.

"So, what now?"
That's a question I've had stuck on my mind for at least the past month or so now, regarding the state of my content production and my life as a YouTuber. It's a question that I've somewhat avoided asking myself for the past year, because I somewhat naively thought "Hey, everything'll just work out...
