New Artist Chosen!! (plus... a long overdue update)

[DarinLMckisic]

Good update and everything, but, at 1:33 "hopefully our next president"?! You dont like Obama bruh?

[AMVMakerRen]

I'm A Artist That Just Started The Process Of Making a manga And You Guys Have Help Me To Change My Ways. U Have Got Me Out Of The Darkness And Into The Mid's Of Light. You Have Gave Me Hope To Live And A Story To Right Just From That. If Anything I Will Right About You In My Book Series A Lot. I Owe Everything To You Guys.

[EpiCatastrophie]

even tho I'm new ur still one of the best bro :) keep it up and looking forward to the new webcomic

[Jon3718]

great new look! i love the go tee! lol...

[Averana678]

Thank you for this update. I found everything you said to be completely true. I've found myself being stagnant with my writings partly because I lost my inspiration and partly because I sometimes feel as if I'm not good enough, like my stuff sucks and nobody wants to read it. Seeing this reminds me that we all have moments like that and it's best just to keep flowing with the river.

I hope that you'll keep going because we all know your work is great and we will support you to the very end.

[dragonforcefan123]

golden city!? that is cool only like an hour away from where i live

Missouri Rules.

cool to hear that your finding yourself and choosing to live your life the best you can.

you probably get this alot just wanted to say the rona project has been a big inspiration for me.

peace. keep creating whatever it may be.

[ppgope]

[Koejj90]

[gabewebbmusic]

Good Video dude. Glad your back in town. Maybe sometime we'll continue our long ass spiritual conversation we had that one night at Cody's about 4 years ago that we never finished. LOL

[txfnero]

I can officially say, that I have just ordered my copy of Rona after finally getting the money to buy it. I can't wait to get it! Glad to see a new video from you guys.. hope you decide to update slightly more often. Also happy to hear everything seems to be working pretty well.

[NikeBrazil]

[dragade101]

sorry to hear about Ron Paul

[krazay1link]

Hey Ryan, I've given a video response. It's some of my fan art and I'll post more later.

[masterofplanets]

That's a win! That's an epic Rona Project inspirational letter and webcomic win!

[lillypinkvile]

YEAH! The Briman47! You guys are like the perfect duo. I look forward to it!

Your video made me cry a little, but in a good way :]

[CaptainCocknee]

Ryan please READ THIS! I'm Dookian the winner of the contest for the free book. I don't know how to contact you (I even made a Twitter) Please reply pretty please!?! :(

[ronaproject]

@CaptainCocknee Hey buddy! I remember you! lol send me a PM with your address and I'll send you the copy you won!

[CaptainCocknee]

@ronaproject :O.... Oh my god. I'll send it right now!

[KeiStingray]

Great! Its Looking Up! It Looks Like Its Going Down, But Equivalent Exchange Right?! If It Goes Down, It Also Has To Go Up. Hey Ryan, Im Happy For You. It Got me Thinking, Should I Put Up My Manga On Youtube? Ive Been Hesitating Since I Dont Have All Those Professional Tools. And If I Did, I Would Put Up A New Chapter Every Week. Sorta Like Weekly Shonen Jump(Have Tons Of those, Japanese) I dont Know. And Ive Been Slacking Off A Lot Lately, Just Having Problems With Life. Im MovingToo, Stressf

[ecozay]

I love that you're following through with your projects despite all of the challenges you're presented with, and you inspire me to keep going with my own dreams. Best of luck with everything! :)

[AnimeLover121314]

omg I LOVE Web comics =D <3

[SilverBlur1202]

i'm flowing with the water, but there's a lot of rough obstacles with my manga but I know that if i just keep on moving forwards,and don't get stopped, i'll have it published!

[starboy4]

I think i'm going to have to have a Rona night soon, and get some good grub and watch all of your videos at once =] I am a guy (not gay) but I might cry (just a little) when I get to where Anthony passed away =[ No one will ever replace him as the artist of Rona Project in my eyes

[TheAnimeKid19]

Awesome man!

[mirorih2]

Do you think I can buy Rona even though I live in Norway? Hope you can ship it up to me if I buy it.

[ronaproject]

@mirorih2 Absolutely. We ship internationally :)

[mirorih2]

@ronaproject I just have to get a new bank card and more money. 9 USD is 57 NOK wich is the currency we have here in Norway. And + I have to guess I need to pay for the shipping to, so it might be around 100-200 NOK

[bubbyis1337]

i missed your voice :)

[Awesomeman37]

Oh my god, I'm so happy just to watch an update from you. I can't wait for the new web comic!!!!!

[restplz11]

briman he isnt down witth his own project and vids whaaa but i trust you

[restplz11]

life for an artist/writer is a hard one

[de8struction]

I don't really like the new artist that much, I mean his action sequences look bland, and un animated, still glad that you guys are continuing though.

[TheBriman47]

@de8struction i havent even released any action sequences from my own manga XD give it a chance lol

[de8struction]

@TheBriman47 Alright bro, I'll stay tuned.

[jjsot]

YOU GUYS ARE LEGENDS. The rona project is the most awesomest thing in the world. You have encouraged and inspired me so much. thankyou so much

RONA LIVES ON hahaha

[okletswatch]

Hey Ryan! it's so good 2 finally see a vid from u again, we all missed u =) i listened to ur interview on twitter and i found out thebriman was doing ur illustrations i was like whoa! im one of his subscribers =D so i congratulated him. keep up the awesome work on rona dude remember we're all along for the ride! you seem to be a bit down, but just seeing u back up on youtube is great =) again we missed u a lot!

[FallenAvenger24]

it's like in bakuman being a manga/comic book artist its like gambling on whether you'll make it to the big time or just come up short. Being a artist can be hard but i believe if you really like to draw, paint, design etc you should go with it because people who choose to get a job just for money are mostly not happy but people who do it because they enjoy or love it are happy with their there life's.

[TheShojoGuy]

All i can say i hope it goes well, uve been through so much its hard to watch, im glad ur so strong. Never give up ryan, i know u wont.

[AnimeTi28]

i love everything you do!

As a young manga artist myself its really inspiring seeing you and even through all the hard times you get right back and you stay strong.

you helped me a lot and i wish you good luck with everything, your project and your life. :)

[shafiqskeaith]

lol bruce lee quote at the end

[pokegirl302]

Hay Ryan, it's good to see you doing well. I don't know what to say more than that you have inspired me to go with what I want to truly do which is to not only be a fellow storyteller but to start a graphic novel with one of my best friend. But what I can say is that "the blackest nights lead to the brightest days." It is a theme that I find in my own stories and stories that I like. Keep going I know if anyone can power through you can.

[shortygirl0007]

I miss you Ryan! People can learn a lot from you. You're a good person. A lot has changed and many hardships to overcome. It makes me view my life differently and what I'm thankful for. The letter was very beautiful and its a nice outlook on life. That is a surprised! Ronaproject collaborating with Briman47 is something special. I'm huge fans of both channels :D By the way, good luck renovating the house

[VigilentDreams]

The RonaProject is honestly one of the most inspirational on YouTube

[thanatos454]

Did you know that Ron Paul doesn't "believe" in evolution? I could vote for him in spite of that but it is his views on separation of church and state that scare the shit out of me.

[okletswatch]

@thanatos454 this is a pretty dumb question, i know =/

but with all the different religions in the USA isn't it already separated?

or am i just not getting it...sorry lol

[thanatos454]

@okletswatch

There is a separation of church and state but there are a lot of pretty major violations of it still going on today: Select religious organizations don't have to pay taxes. "In God We Trust" on our currency. etc (not enough chars to frame this properly)There are a great deal of short-sighted Christians who think secularists are persecuting them by not letting them exercise their "rights as a majority" to beat their god-stick over everybody's head on the taxpayer's dollar.

[MANNY100123]

Thanks so much for the update!!! I'm glad you guys are well!!! ;)

[MsILOVEmilk]

AWWWWWW thats so sweet =X-X=

[MRSketch09]

Great vid! And wow, you like Mr. Ron Paul!? me as well man! He's seems like a good character and a very wise man from all I've seen and heard.

[Nihongoking123]

Hell yeah Ron Paul! The only guy who has an effective plan for this nation!

[Reguba24]

Glad to see you're getting settled back in. Hearing that you've started writing really makes me happy man! Hope things keep looking up, and as always, keep rockin' :)

[TheLaJfilms]

well im glad to see you doing well and glad your do what your doing

( wish i could be poetic like that)

[itsyuthegreat]

You know what you remind me of bakuman the manga if you haven't read it then please do read it ryan and anthony the artist and the creator thats how it is you remind me so much of that manga it pretty much describes you in a sorta sense and it has to do with becoming a mangaka as well alright well much love to you ryan

[ballwizard6]

Rona is a great idea that just needs to be perfected to become a truly enjoyable and great series. Keep at it man. Try to make ur story the best that it can be, when things get tough u just need to try harder. Rona has so much potential. Plan like crazy, Create like crazy and edit to no end.

and Briman is a really good artist he just needed a writter like you.

Best of luck.

-Luis

[aandre311]

nice.. keep it up

[monkeysbananna]

Ron Paul is a racist twat, no offense.

[monkeysbananna]

@monkeysbananna And I'm Texan.

[JIYkp]

Great to see you alive and kicking.

[knightshadex1]

Thank you for the update and keeping strong with the flow.. i await to see where the waters take you guys & Rona..;) Glad to say i gotten my copy of the manga.

[mangaluver2010]

I'm so glad to hear that you guys are doing well, man this reallly touched me deep down, that letter that she sent you, was just beautiful and so true in every way, all the obsticals that you guys have gone through and over come is just so inspirational, each video you just saying what going on in your life not trying to impress anybody, it just so raw and real how you can just make us keep going with our dreams no matter how bad things may seem... you'll always have my support Ryan:)

[starboy4]

holy shit ron paul FTW!!! thats epic! I wish I could favorite this video 10x over, man every time you speak to me, us it makes me feel inspired, Ryan you are awesome with out a doubt, it sucks the gang split up =[ but at least your still going strong on you career, never give up! one day we will collaborate on a project if not more than just one! keep your spirits lifted.. and yes ron paul needs to win! but anyways one last word, don't forget to try to have fun, even during the hard times =]

[whothehellisthat]

"time to start paddling"

yellz yeah, man! go for it! :P

[16silverwing]

i hope this adventure of yours ends well, u have my support ^_^

[Alicardcho123]

sweet video man if you need any extra artist just ask man anytime ill help

in any way i can weather it be cover art or just a name / draft

[GregFurrows]

Ryan, I have your brother added on Xbox. (I'm known as xxGaaraGregxx on YouTube, the one who won a bookmark from BlogTV) I hope you're doing fine. I haven't bought Rona yet because I don't have the money. But I hope to buy it soon. You guys should do another BlogTV. They were really fun. Also you should cut your hair! But your hair now is awesome, you look like someone that would be on an anime. Also I'm doing my own manga at the moment and my main inspiration was RonaProject. Thanks! *-*

[TheTalkaharaProject]

Ryan it never stops amazing me how just one of your videos, just one update can be so inspirational, how its so real and raw, how your words can bring some one who has lost all hope and no longer has ambitions to go and make then feel as they can fly and even they can touch the heavens. I hope you do better and I and I am sure every one else believes in you so keep on paddling.

[souske25]

whats the brown thing behind your right shoulder? is it an animal? ITS MOVINING BUT I CANT TELL WHAT IT IS. and its kind of creepy. its absence of motion and then sudden change

[GeekNerdDweeb]

@souske25 I think that's the back of his chair. I wondered the same thing. lol.

[ChibiTristan]

Rona Paul. Aha, see what I did there?

[GeekNerdDweeb]

@ChibiTristan I did. It was snazzy. :)

[KurosAngell]

I'm really excited for you Ryan! =) congratulations and good luck! I'll keep supporting you all the way!!

[l2q]

yea i know briman i've seen his work before its really good

[ocaru127]

keep on going ryan! i am excited for the webcomic! but ya know ryan when i have watched the last few videos i have got a vibe of depression. i know you dont know me or anything but if you ever need anyone to talk to me and probly everyone of you other subscribers would be there for you day or night. any time you need us. keep on going ryan. :D

[Animythproductions]

One of the best artists for the job, nice choice. =] I'm glad to see you guys working together, this should turn out to be great.

[NavyBlueManga]

AWSOME MAN

[thechupacabra95]

Briman will do an awesome job! I'm really excited to see how this all unfolds. (￣▽￣)

[AbstraktManga]

I'm excited to see the webcomic! Briman's character designs are just so amazing.

[Argumentitive]

Aww man the end just hit home. Glad to see you are all keeping well!

[Omegis619]

thank you for it alive

[GrimSoultaker]

Rona has inspired me in many ways you see i draw my own comics and before i saw your epasoid on how hard it was to get started all over again after anthony die i though to my self i can't give up on my art because i lost my muse i got to find a new one and thanks to you guys showing me that giveing up on a dream is really just giveing up on your self..Thanks Ryan....

[AngelHeartStudios]

I like what Im hearing working on my own project as I watch this keep up the Good Work!

[RealmOfMinecraft]

Thankyou i have been subbed to you for a while and you have really inspired me to actually start on my own Manga THANKYOU so much for everything i have the idea sorted and im actually now working on the people within the story :)

P.s

THANKYOU SO SO MUCH :) x

[Faenxsanct]

no offense but why is your house so shitty?

[ronaproject]

@Faenxsanct lmao.. cause we make do with what we have. We don't live outside our means..

[NeoMavarickThinkers]

@ronaproject Yo what the heck man i sent in my application why didnt you even read it man! i was willing to work mad hard for free!?? i see how it is not even gonna read this how your gonna treat your fans!? man this some ol' bull shit!

[ronaproject]

@NeoMavarickThinkers I read every single submission.Nearly 400 of them. I appreciate your eagerness. Try to understand it is not my intention to make anyone feel rejected. Keep going strong with your project! Hard work pays off.

[NeoMavarickThinkers]

@ronaproject Man Ryan I'm a loser!! i'm just some skinny dude from philly who has nothing going for him but drawing thats my only talent but thats not even helping me get off the ground!! i would have worked so hard!!! but this is yet another failed attemp! sigh~ its all good though keep up the good work!

[KurosAngell]

@NeoMavarickThinkers aww hey... don't be discouraged for not being the chosen artist. I can tell you from being a learning artist - theres no easy way in this world. It takes lots of effort and lots of trying, falling, and trying again to get anywhere in this career. Just keep trying and don't get down on yourself =) stay positive!

[kenshinro7]

@NeoMavarickThinkers Do you have a website with your art?

[NeoMavarickThinkers]

@kenshinro7 Yeah

[kenshinro7]

@NeoMavarickThinkers ok what's the website? I'm seeking a artists.

[NeoMavarickThinkers]

@kenshinro7 I'll PM you

[kenshinro7]

@NeoMavarickThinkers ok waiting on your message

[Nitewatcha92]

@ronaproject Dont you get pay'd from the publishers??

[kenshinro7]

@Nitewatcha92 He's independent there are no publishers.

[dev2000]

I'm really excited for the webcomic.

Keep up the great work ryan!

[SmileComic]

Glad to see you back. I'm a little sad I didn't get chosen but Briman47 deserves it for sure. Good luck Ryan and very inspirational words thank you.

[SoFlyCy]

so touching ;)

[supermagnumforce]

Good to hear from you, Ryan. I'm looking forward to the webcomic and whatever you come out with in the future. Good luck. : )

[GeekNerdDweeb]

Good to see you guys are doing well. :) By the way, when I saw that you were going to show my art and read my letter I was literally shouting, "Noooooooo!!!!" lol. But I can't tell you how happy I am that you took it all to heart. Best of luck to you!!

-Ashes

[sleepyheadkzz]

@GeekNerdDweeb Hi Ashley. That advice was absolutely amazing and I was indeed inspired by it. I couldn't catch one word though: "There are sections where it rushes through ........, runs over rocks and spins around twigs and branches." Could you please tell me what that word is? Thank you very much! ^________^

- Sleepyheadkzz

[GeekNerdDweeb]

@sleepyheadkzz "...rushes through narrow creavasses, ..." ^_^

[sleepyheadkzz]

@GeekNerdDweeb Ahhh thanks! XD

[GeekNerdDweeb]

@sleepyheadkzz No problem! :D

[Jurtango]

Good choice on choosing Briman47 his art is a perfect fit in the story

[RazorStorm40]

the part ashley wrote was beautiful, truly man you are one of my biggest inspirations, good luck with everything ;)

[megadeth123luis]

Man, is it not to be a fantasy story like in a first volume? That´s bad i love that style of comic/manga. Although i haven´t bought the first book, but i promise i will man :)

It´s good to see you back!

[ronaproject]

@megadeth123luis Rona will always be a fantasy adventure. The webcomic won't be. :)

[megadeth123luis]

@ronaproject Thanks for explaining :)

Im portuguese and i never get 100% about what you say in your videos. Sorry x).

[LordSesshomaru028]

@ronaproject WHOA! Rona & The Briman!? That's awesome! I KNOW your product is gonna be great!

[Dagon123A]

Everybodies been there Ryan, as weird as it is to say, its nice to see that not everyone is super human and gung-ho all the time, I know that kind of contradicts what a lot of people want to think, but after seeing this video, it showed you have alot more heart then I think even people on here give you credit for, you're not perfect, but that's what makes Rona special.

[ronaproject]

@Dagon123A Thank you.

[KawaiiHikariAndAmu]

Good luck Rona forever!!!

[OriginalPen]

oh maaan, I love rona project!! you guys are awesome!!

hope you get on the top of the world so everyone can see your work!

:)

[fantmclwd]

did you ever finish the dark tower series ryan?

[ronaproject]

@fantmclwd No. I need to buy the other books. I only have the first volume :( I'm dying to read the entire series. The first book was amazing!

[fantmclwd]

@ronaproject ahh, you will love them. its crazy what he brings into the books from real life and the ending is absolutely surprising. also they are trying to make a movie/television series out of it. Its on his website if you ever want to check it out.

[SwagTutorial]

UPDATE!

[fantmclwd]

i was just wondering at work today when you guys were going to make a new vid D:< now i am happy.

[MangakaThauib]

Wooot Briman! Niiiice~ He's a great artist so no wonder ^.^

I can't wait to check it out!
