2D Characters in 3D Worlds (and how I improved them) YouTube video by JayTheDevGuy

Here's a timestamp for this technique in action- to this day it's the biggest contribution my channel has made- and I didn't even make this part! youtu.be/s4dBvSj9Zpo?...

My plan of tricking aspiring artists into getting a little more organized is going really well. Also, @obsidian.md is so good I had to shitpost a little. Real ones know who Quinn the robot girl is from. Anyway, I hope you like the video: youtu.be/DRBXGOr6faU?...

Loneliness Kills Art (and how YouTube saved mine) YouTube video by JayTheDevGuy

Talking about how keeping my art to myself was unknowingly killing it, and how finally sharing imperfect work on YouTube changed me forever. It'll be one of those vids that underperforms but sticks in people's brains, aka my favorite kind to make. Hope you like it: youtu.be/1NUOhunZm4A?...
