 Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video and happy new year new years mean resolutions and change And that's what this video was all about. That's why you clipped the thumbnail. So what's changing for me? Well this year I'm gonna quit my job and do this full-time No, you're not. Oh, yeah, you're right now. I wouldn't do that. I love my job I'm still just gonna keep doing this though. So it'll pretty much be the same thing. Uh Oh, I know I'm gonna get a big office space and move all my painting stuff into that So I only work out of my office. That's what I'm gonna do No, you're not No, you're right. I wasn't gonna do that either. Oh, I know I'm gonna buy the biggest Warhammer model ever It's gonna be the size of a pickup truck and I'm gonna do about 16 videos putting it together. That's what I'll do No, you're not No, I guess then I'll just have to keep making videos. All right. Well, let's do that then Let's strict techno man sir that is Vinci V. Let us get to the technique and learn it Vinci V style special thanks to John and Sam for helping out with the intro all both of their channels are linked below of course also just a little fun with Miniac Travarian Ninjohn and Squidmar there with the intro where we're poking fun at them, but all those guys the best nothing but love for all of them I love all their channels and watch everything they do But I want to talk about this channel It is a new year and I truly am making some resolutions and trying to change some things around here You may have noticed there's been changes in some of the videos recently Doing straight on talking like this more intros outros And I'm actually trying to figure out how to use this camera that I have Better audio better video better recording. That's what I want 2022 to be about for me What I want to tell you and communicate in this video and what I want to hear from you is how I can improve My goal over this coming year is to deliver more and higher quality tutorials Information inspiration anything I can do to help you on your hobby journey Teaching is really my passion when it comes to this hobby. I love sharing everything I know with people and I hope that you all have found value in these videos in these tutorials, etc I want to hear from you. What are the tutorials you want to see? What do you want from the channel? Give me some comments down below. Tell me the types tutorials you want if there's other types of content you want me to do Anything like that. I would love to hear it in the end. I do all this for all What I'm looking at in 2022 is obviously how I can improve the video quality I have been trying to learn from others to make things better And I hope you're seeing that in some of the recent videos where I'm actually figuring out how to use this camera One of the challenges of a weekly grind of making videos while I still also have a full-time job that takes a lot more than 40 hours per Week is that I don't usually have time to mess with things to record fake videos and learn Everything and watch a lot of tutorials and train myself and that's been a cost I still have all this, you know, other life as well. My wife would not enjoy it if I just sat around Making fake tutorials to learn, but I am trying and I hope that comes through and I hope you're seeing an increase In the quality of the videos and I want to continue that journey. So I am going to continue pushing Understanding and learning taking my own journey with content creation in much the same way we all do with the hobby Other things I'm looking at for this year We're gonna make some new merch if you are an artist who does cool, you know, 2d art I am looking for a couple artists to give me some for some new designs for the channel for 2022 So please reach out to me the email where you can contact me is down below Or you can leave a comment you can get in touch with me on socials my Twitter and everything is down there I'm happy to talk. I'd love to hear from you. I'd love to see some samples of your work Obviously would be a paying gig. I don't want Free art from people. That's not how this works And so I but I'm looking to have some cool art to do things like new merch for the store some new Basically art assets for the channel things like that In the end, I'm not a great video producer. I hope I'm a better teacher and so The other thing I'm looking at doing in 2022 is I'm exploring This is just exploring the possibility of setting up something like a patreon or something like that if I went that direction I'm going to tell you right now. This is my solemn oath No content I produce will ever be behind a paywall Period there might be longer versions or unedited versions of videos for people who want to see hours of paint work or something But I would never ever ever ever ever Ever Put this stuff behind a paywall. I don't want to do that. It's why I've resisted it so far But what something like a patreon might facilitate me being able to do which I'm excited about just to give back to more teaching It might allow me to offer individual classes digital classes stuff like that where I could work one-on-one with people And I think that would be pretty cool. I really have missed teaching over this pandemic the last Did 18 19 months 20 months? I don't even know how long it's been have been hard on all of us But one of the things I've truly missed was being able to connect with people and teach at conventions to teach classes Stuff like that. I've missed it. I really love meeting you all I really love sharing this stuff and getting together and seeing what you paint and Going 20 months almost two years without doing that It's kind of sucked to be honest And this would be a way to facilitate that again to do it in a safe way regardless of what the state of the world is and To extend it so I don't have to necessarily fly everywhere to teach and could and could teach with people all over the world So that's why I'm looking at it. I don't want to do it because I'm interested in putting anything down to pay Well, that will never happen. I am interested in it because it's a cool way to facilitate Individual lessons. So if that's something you think you'd be interested in Tell me down below if you think that's a good idea to pursue Because it's just a it would be a nice way to make that all happen Finally I'm gonna try to get other types of content happening again this year But it's challenging as I spend more and more time making the hobby cheating each week It does chew up time where I could be doing reviews or other types of game design videos or stuff like that But I'm gonna try to figure out how I could maybe fit those into the schedule intermittently So there's a lot of big changes coming this year But none of them are bad. I hope The summary is I want to make sure that I'm delivering better higher quality content Things you can watch things you can share things you can learn from And make it the absolute best I can I'll never be the video producer that many ack or 52 miniatures or squid mar or people like that are They're so good at it. And that's just not my skill set So I plan to focus in on what I do. I hope well or at least passively which is teach people techniques answer their questions and Share their hobby journey with them as they continue to grow That's ultimately what drives me and that's ultimately what's rewarding to me. So it's what I'm going to keep doing. I Thank you very much for all your support If you're watching this and you haven't yet subscribed or you haven't liked this video, please do Sharing the other videos with people giving them likes every time you watch that kind of stuff is so helpful I would love to see the channel grow. I do obviously want to see, you know, the little numbers go higher It's a silly thing, but it's a thing. I enjoy We all make this and want to know that we're reaching as wide an audience as possible But in the end I don't care about that as much as I care about people enjoying the content and drawing value from it That means far more to me So with that, I'll say thank you so much I really appreciate all of your support all of your comments all of your feedback all of your engagement Engagement everything over the past year. I'm looking forward to 2022 Being a new high watermark for this channel for the content I produce. I thank you so much as always for watching And we'll see you next time That's good. There we go
