YouTube Alternatives?
1 min read
Question: What website would you guys use for video sharing, as opposed to YouTube? I haven't used any YouTube alternatives before, but if you have, please let me know what your experience has been like!
If you haven't heard, one of the changes being made to YouTube is this: after December 10th, Google can remove channels that they don't deem "monetarily viable". So in other words, YouTube isn't just a social media site for sharing videos anymore. If you create and upload videos for your channel, basically Google is your boss and can fire you at a moment's notice, if they feel like it. That's why I'm looking for an alternative. :/

Hey, I wanted to give you guys a heads up that today is the last day to audition for the Jelsa casting call on my YouTube channel. If you can't send in your audition until tomorrow, that's fine, because I'll be busy celebrating my brother's birthday anyway and won't have time to post results that soon.
I'm gonna be honest with you guys though - at this point, it looks like the project may have to be cancelled. It isn't getting a lot of auditions, to put it mildly. I think there aren't a lot of active Jelsa fans out there right now, meaning that even though some recent Jelsa videos have gotten millions of views, I think there aren't many Jelsa fans who are actively looking for things like that. Which is okay. There are other projects I'm working on, and I'm excited about those. The main thing I'm worried about is going back on what I said I'd do, but it's kind of out of my hands, if I don't get any auditions for some of the important roles.
The videos I had planned, called The Jelsa Theory, are about how Jelsa could happen in a way that makes sense for Frozen and RotG, and without changing anything about either movie. The way the videos were planned, they would go through animated scenes of Frozen in Time. Since it's looking like I might not have enough voice actors, I could possibly change things so that it's just one video, with only narration instead. I'm not sure about that though.

Speaking of Frozen in Time, I haven't forgotten about Frozen in Time part 2. The problem is that most of the story won't work with Frozen 2, so it'll have to be shortened into one or two chapters just to wrap up Frozen in Time part 1. Even then it might not fit, so I'm not sure if I should wait for Frozen 2 to come out first before putting time into this... I may be starting at a new job soon, and won't have as much time to work on these things if that happens. I'm trying to decide what's most important to work on with the time I have.
What do you guys think? Would you want to see Frozen in Time given an ending, even if doesn't fit with Frozen 2?
If you have thoughts about any of the things mentioned above, feel free to let me know in the comments.
Thanks and God bless

Tablet not working in Photoshop (help?)
1 min read
I've never used a tablet in Photoshop before, so I don't know what this problem is or how to fix it. I've searched online for an answer, but haven't found one. When I try to draw with my tablet pen, nothing shows up on the canvas in Photoshop. If I just tap the tablet once, it'll create a dot sometimes, but no full strokes.
My brush isn't set to have wide spacing, and I even turned spacing all the way down to see if that was the problem. I have the driver installed and even reinstalled it today, but that didn't fix the issue. Does anyone know what I should do? I'd appreciate any help

Commissions Sale (Closed)

Hi guys, I'm going to have to close commissions pretty soon, but I'm lowering my prices for now.
If you'd like to commission me, now would be the best time to do that. Thanks for reading, and God bless!

Colored - $10
Cell Shaded - $12
Soft Shaded - $15

Animation
Animation will be $40 per second, or more depending on how much detail is involved. I know that sounds like a lot,
but it would be the same price for four pictures, and there a lot more than four pictures in a second of animation.
Examples will be added...
Note: All prices are in USD
Also, if you would like more than one character in your drawing, additional characters will probably be
priced as a separate drawing. The same goes for additional moving characters in an animation.
(There may be discounts or exceptions, based on the situation).

How to Commission me
If you'd like to commission me, please just send a message letting me know what type of drawing you'd like (for example, a headshot that is cell shaded). Also make sure you provide a reference of the character, pet, person, etc. you'd like me to draw, and let me know what pose to draw them in and any other details you have in mind for the picture.
I can draw people and most types of animals, and I retain the right to refuse a commission if I'm not comfortable accepting it. Please keep it PG.
After I've accepted a project, you can send payment through Paypal.
Thanks for reading!

Hey!! It's been over two months since my last upload, so I'm relieved and happy to finally have some good news! I found the missing product key to my art program, so I'm going to be working on Frozen in Time again! Yay! 
I got hired to illustrate a children's book, which is a blessing, and very exciting for me as it's my first job!
The not-so-great news is that most of my time will be going to this job, so new pages of FiT will take longer to complete. But at least I can upload new pages at all now, and I'll make them as soon as I can!
The next page I'm going to be working on is actually a re-upload page 52, since I never was able to finish the art for that page. I've also made a few updates to older pages during the past couple of months when I couldn't draw new ones. I shaded the prologue, first chapter, and part of chapter 2, but I don't think I'll have time to shade any more for a while. (In case you're wondering, I use a different program for shading.)
Also, I added in a paragraph at the end of page 38 to better define Jack and Elsa's relationship in the dream world. When making that chapter, it was too long and I had to leave out a page where they went on a date. I didn't realize the effect that would have until I read Frozen in Time to my brother. When Jack was processing their breakup, my brother said something like, "Breakup? Were they really together? I think he's reading into things." LOL. So yeah, I fixed that
¡¡Oye!! Han pasado más de dos meses desde mi última carga, así que estoy aliviado y feliz de finalmente tener buenas noticias. Encontré la clave de producto faltante en mi programa de arte, ¡así que voy a estar trabajando en Frozen in Time otra vez! ¡Hurra!
Me contrataron para ilustrar un libro para niños, lo cual es una bendición, y muy emocionante para mí, ¡ya que es mi primer trabajo! La noticia no tan buena es que la mayor parte de mi tiempo irá a este trabajo, por lo que las páginas nuevas de FiT tardarán más en completarse. ¡Pero al menos puedo cargar nuevas páginas ahora y las haré tan pronto como pueda!
La siguiente página en la que voy a trabajar es en realidad una página de re-carga 52, ya que nunca pude terminar el arte para esa página. También hice algunas actualizaciones de páginas anteriores durante los últimos meses cuando no pude dibujar otras nuevas. Sombreé el prólogo, el primer capítulo y parte del capítulo 2, pero no creo que tenga tiempo para sombrear más. (En caso de que te lo estés preguntando, uso un programa diferente para sombrear).
Además, agregué un párrafo al final de la página 38 para definir mejor la relación de Jack y Elsa en el mundo de los sueños. Cuando hice ese capítulo, fue demasiado largo y tuve que dejar de lado una página donde tenían una cita. No me di cuenta del efecto que tendría hasta que leí Frozen in Time a mi hermano. Cuando Jack estaba procesando la separación, mi hermano dijo algo así como: "¿Romper? ¿Estuvieron realmente juntos? Creo que está leyendo cosas". LOL. Así que sí, arreglé eso jaja
