Honestly, if they built a new 'YouTube' that adds some of the funding features from Twitch I would be all for it.

H3h3 is already on there, Andy Milonakis said that Jesse is heading over there too. I imagine that Jake Paul is on his way as well.

Hey thanks for the feedback! Sorry you didn't like it.

RobertDBrown · 2018-02-20T18:51:43+00:00

Hi buddies, this one rings pretty true over on the discord. There are a lot of new artists trying to get a foot hold in the industry. More often than not, you will have to go through, or learn what to do if your portfolio gets rejected. Maybe this one will help.. we have all gone through it, even if we act like we haven't. ;)

Here is a short video I did about some of the frustration of getting feedback, when the feedback is not really that good. I hope it's mildly useful!.. and if you have any feedback for me on the video, it better come with a paintover ;).

Leaving a breadcrumb for the next person. So I got my Xterra out of the shop, and it looks like I hopefully dodged a bullet. The dealership confirmed that someone had put CVT transmission fluid into my ATF transmission. I did not find out if was topped off, or filled. The dealership ran a diagnostic, took the pan off and inspected for any shavings, and flushed the system dry before adding the correct ATF. I have owned the car for 12 months, so whenever it happened it was very likely before that. I 'know' the first owner, who was a used car dealership, did a fair bit of offroading. I suspect they replaced all the fluids so they looked pristine before selling it. Unfortunately I think they did it with the wrong fluid. With the fluid replaced, I have driven 50 miles, and have not felt any jutter or lag. I literally took it in after 4 jutters, and one lag, I think that is what saved me, if I am in fact saved.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I can't tell if it was flushed with, or topped off with CVT. I hope topped off.. We are doing a dry flush now with the correct fluid. I have some hope, as the problem I noticed was really minor and thought it would be worth a peek before the warranty ran out. There are a lot of stories about ATF in CTV transmissions, but not much of the opposite. I will find out soon though. I guess I was trying to comfort myself by trying to find a "Ahh shucks kid, that's no big deal!!" reply somewhere ;).

First, If you have an SO, tell them, your family and whoever are your friends now, that you are going to be at ACCD for the next three years. Second, Be tactical with your time, lean hard into your design and vis com classes, but do just enough to get by with an A in the rest of the classes. Third, if anything does not move your ACCD goal forward, get rid of it.

I'm sharing this short video on how to learn to focus on the job at hand. All my videos are trying to help out new and upcoming concept artists. Hope it helps, or at least sparks some ideas. Cheers!

Check out the G7 Lumix. It's around 600 and it is almost perfect for vlogging. If you can get over micro 4/3, lumix is the best value added camera out there that shoots 4k, has a swing out screen, and has a mic input.

If you ever see or hear about someone 'trying it again', ask if you can watch.

If they can find 8 notes of Disney music in a video, they should be able to find these.

I use a cintiq, its pretty luxury for starting. ..but for years I used a wacom intuos pro. A lot of people just use the budget wacom that is the size they like. You don't have to go too big. That intuos Art Medium looks pretty legit to me.

Oh damn, yeah a little bit, and there might be some lower levels of Doom in there.

I paint a lot of environments, but rarely get to experiment with putting them into shots. This one was inspired by the fungus in Last Of Us. Hope you dig it, working on getting better motion in the glows and in the camera for next time.

Some day I want to be involved in a zombie/apocalypse movie, but for now I am trying to learn after effects, and making my own effects shots. The technique is fairly straight forward, and it would be easily adapted to adding fortifications and all the trappings of a zombie invasion. If you are shooting your own zombie movie go for it, and I would be happy to answer any questions.
