hi marty lol

How's realm raiders?

@Emrox good. stressful but satisfying. its fucking bigger than I expected and taking way longer than I expected but really happy with its direction

HOPE YOU ARE WELL

Interesting. All I can say is that I am happy to be with pencilmation too, as a storyboarder. I don't know anything else in this mad world and would probably die if I tried anything else haha!

Your Pencilmations are some of my favorites. And 23 ain't old. I'm 31 and I feel better than ever.

I'm 26 and surrounded by 18 year olds at my job. But I still feel very young.
Don't let it get to you man.

I've felt the same way with these massive YouTube channels, but how Pencilmation's managed to fit in with the others yet with 2D original animations it's pretty incredible. I always look forward to your episodes!
It's interesting how part of the YouTube system is to not make any part of the algorithm public and crystal clear. It's probably to avoid a "get rich quick" rush of channels doing exactly as it says it works.

Thanks! It kind of makes sense that they don't just spell out what you have to do to get rich, but it seems like it's just as bad that everyone is tailoring their work to what they *think* works best. Or maybe it's all machine-learning based now and even THEY don't know how it works anymore. Hmmm!

Weren't you making a considerable amount of money from that alternative revenue stream idea?

I made like a hundred dollars and at least half of them were from you. But it's not unreasonable to think you could make a substantial amount if you had a big enough following!

Have your tits started to sag? Mine started sagging the moment I turned 22 :(

In all seriousness I'm joining in on a newgrounds podcast about newgrounds music and I wanted to approach the subject of what constitutes a successful career as an artist. Could I PM you a few messages about monitization and how you are affected by it?

No worries if you don't want to participate or answer stuffs. I just want to get my ducks in a row...

I don't know how helpful I'd be but ask away!

I hope your sleeves get filled with cozy air. Happy birthday!

I tried really hard to think of a response to this and I gotta say sorry man I'm coming up short

I really appreciate your perspective and honesty here. Glad it's working out for you, and I hope you're considering the very real adult things about long-term / stable work that should be coming along with that success! (health insurance, retirement, equity, etc etc.)

Those are not high priorities yet, but I'm thinking about thinking about them!

I hope I'm still on my parents' health insurance.
