If any of you have been following me on social media, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve put my commission slots on hold so quickly. Well basic reason for that is that my laptop is currently going through some repairs, such as a better battery life and a new look. It’ll roughly take about a full week, so I’m basically stuck with using my phone for while. Plus side of this though, is that this will give me time to so some practice sketches, as well as catch up on any games, books, or shows that I’ve been meaning to look into. So all in all, it’s not too bad.
One thing I’m sure some are wondering, yes I’m aware of the recent situation with COPPA and the FTC. There are countless of videos talking about the situation, and it really disheartens me with how much these young creators are gonna suffer. The only thing I’m concerned about really is that some have hinted that’ll spread to other mediums other than YouTube. As of now, the videos I make are only there to promote my work, without the ad revenue. Small chances are if the YT channel does end up get terminated, it’s technically not the end, for I’m making money from commissioners themselves. There is however a petition to try and make them change their minds, as well as the option to leave a comment on the gov site. We just need to be super civil, get others aware of the situation, and just be faithful, so that the so called future spread won’t happen. Until then, diversify yourself in terms of the platforms you use to promo yourself.
To leave here on a positive note; I’ll might get back into brainstorming my story ideas, for I really want to get back into them again. Maybe write down some one shots as practice. One in particular will based on a dream I had a few days ago with this new character sketch I made:
If things go well, then maybe my creator goals will finally be met, but we’ll all just have to wait and see. Rome wasn’t made in one day, after all.
