Behind the Scenes #46
🕑 Added 2019-08-29 14:36:42 +0000 UTCWhat up, mini family?!
I didn't make a BTS post last week because it was pretty simple. I painted a Warcry figure for this Friday's release and then I went to NYC to visit my sister with my wife.
Here's Amber and I in NYC.
When we came back, however, some fun stuff started to happen.
I had jonny-boi over and we recorded two episodes of the podcast and we're going to record more next week. We'd like to publish the podcast with 2 episodes fully available and 1 on deck. Here's a shot of the main camera's POV. We're using the Miniac set for now but are looking to use a different one entirely down the road.
For this week's early release I'm hopelessly trying to finish a commission for a video but I don't think I'm going to make it. I started later on it because I edited a full episode of the podcast.
In this picture I have the left sleeve done except for the weathering that will come.
I'm honestly feeling burnt out which probably sounds stupid. In the video I made about going full time I said something like "give me 2 months to come online" meaning I'll reach my peak video quality which has not been the case. A combination of real life events and harder to make videos than I thought has slowed down my ability to work on the infrastructure of my channel at all and it's been a real mental barrier. I feel like I need to just take 2 weeks off of the video schedule and just work on these things without the fear of missing a release looming over me, but I don't know.
That's all for now, fam.

Worry not. You got this my dude.
In you're own time Scott; we're going nowhere.
So excited to see the podcast is back, i've been really looking forward to it!
Hey bud, take a break if you need to! We'll still be here, hungry for some minipainting, when you get back!! Do whatcha gotta do my man, and definitely take care of yourself. Can't wait to see all the awesome stuff you have in store for us. :]

Yes, what Hendrik said! I second that breath/Hike/mental space thing! You're amazing Scott, don't you forget it!
I know I would rather take great content eventually than never getting any content again. Take the rest you need, and we'll be here when you're back.
Hei Scott, just take a moment to breath. Get the head free, take your beautiful wife and the dogs for a hike this weekend and relax. Then you'll find the mental space where you want to be and on Friday, the 13th of September you'll publish your best video yet!
You are doing a great job. I always enjoy your work and the quality is superb in my opinion. Remember that part of giving of yourself is also taking care of yourself. So make sure you are getting honest and true breaks, guilt free from your work. It helps you come back refreshed.
Keep at it Scott, you're doing great and you'll get into the swing of things. Big changes take time.
