 Yes, I help you Then I help you I am Gigi and I like to be left alone except when I am hungry when I am hungry I bend on doors in the night to wake my humans Hello, stop doing that good boy No Stop stop Please That's a messy Goodness sakes. I know it's gonna go straight back to it once I'm gone Hello everybody. I'm just trying to do some character designs today for my comic. Yay because I've been telling you guys that I want to do This comic for a while, but I decided to do a sort of anthology of Short horror stories, so I've got I've got the thumbnails down for one. You can't really see it, but it makes sense to me It doesn't make sense to you And the thumbnails down for the second one. This one is slightly shorter than this one And yeah, I'm really excited to start working on them in it's gonna be called through gritted teeth I think I do need like a third story But I'm not sure yet I'm having a lot of fun with these with the Windsor Newton markers the brush markers I'm still enjoying them. I feel like I found my groove a little bit and wanting to do a style in the style really and Yeah, I'm really excited to work on it the only downside is last week I got told that I might be made redundant at work. So basically they're done scaling the entire team and I have to do an interview next week and I'm really scared. So let's see what happens Fingers crossed for me. Apparently there's nine people going for five jobs in this area. So I've been trying to push I've been trying to push Patron So I did like a little banner new banner former patron yesterday Not yesterday the other day and It looks a little bit like this, but because there's formatting slightly different It kind of looks a bit different on the page and page Which I don't really mind because I think it's quite cute and then I started on doing like some little thank you badges and then also I'm doing These limited edition prints This is my jibli redraw that I did a few or a couple weeks ago and I really liked it So I thought it would make a nice little print to go with some stickers that I will be working on I was working on them yesterday, but I couldn't get my I haven't used the creek yet. I've been planning to but I try to print stuff out of this printer using the Cree cut Program and it just wasn't sending what I wanted to print to my printer So I have a feeling that this printer is a bit Rubbish because I think it's like a really cheap printer. I can't remember when we got it But I think it was about 50 quid, which is quite cheap for a printer. So I don't know if it's gonna work I'm hoping so otherwise. I'll just hand make the stickers for this month's patron It's my little abstract piece That I did before and then I've got some books that I wanted you pain to resolve have yet to read them But I've been reading I'm over here. I have been reading the Laura Jean Laura Jean to all the boys I loved before and I finished this one and I finished the second one And I need to read the third one because I was thinking about doing like a free Part video of book paint overs and I thought that would be really fun Or not like a free part But like free books in one go because I've never tried that before I've also got big little eyes because I love the show so I thought I might as well Give that a read here are some of my comics that I really like I recently got Tommy told me for my birthday and I got all the Lock and Key collection, which I adore I love these books These comics if you haven't read them get on it because it's really really good. I also got these shoes yesterday I bought them off D-pop for like 30 pounds and the Air Force one so they're like worth about a hundred quid I would say obviously Well, not obviously they are too small for me But I was thinking that I would customize them on YouTube and then give them to my niece maybe as a Christmas present or like something but I need to Like clean them and then figure out what I want to customize on them I think it would be a really fun project because I've always thought that would be really cool to do So I'm glad that I managed to grab some like second-hand ones because I wasn't gonna spend that much money on Brand new ones and have all that pressure. So that will be a fun video. I think which is gonna be cool Yes, back to these prints. I'm going to individually pack them in these plastic wraps I know that's bad, but I have these and I need to use them basically Maybe people can reuse them. I don't know. I don't think so But yeah, it would keep them protected So I'm gonna keep put them in there and then pop like stick packs in there at the same time And then probably put something like that in. I did get a sponsor not sponsorship. I got given Like some free. I don't know how to describe it free wrapping paper you design yourself and it's like eco-friendly and I really want to work on that I've just been stuck on what I want to do because you have to do like a pattern Something that is sorry for this horrible shot on my channel this pattern I'm thinking about doing something like that But I want to like update it because I feel like I did this a while ago and I can do better now, but It's just finding the time at the moment anyway, yeah So I have been going through some short comics that I own Just to see like for some research and stuff for my comic and I think I really like This format where it's like short and then I was thinking maybe it would be nice to do something like this where you have two comics in one but sealed with like this little Holder and I don't know if that'd be too difficult for me to do But it would be something quite fun And then you could have one story and then the other because I've only got two stories Like I said, I was trying to create a third one, but I keep thinking like what am I gonna do and it feels a bit forced I thought maybe of doing like a really really short one in between the two longer ones to sort of separate them I'm not sure anyway. I think this is the nicest size. I kind of really like This size of comic Emily is burning my old comic was a lot bigger than that It was kind of a for size and I think this one is just I don't know it kind of works for indie Indie publications, so Yeah, I'm just looking through for like inspiration and things like that and I've read all these before but that these are some of the comics I own that I'm kind of Looking through because Yeah, I like how they look and feel and stuff like that Obviously I printed Emily is burning and I like it at the time. I loved it But now I'm thinking like I would probably prefer like a shorter Scale like a smaller scale anyway Comic if that makes sense Yeah, because that one is a bit big I don't know if it works for the length So it's something that I have to consider whilst I'm making the comic. I also really wanted to do all my comic Pages in this sketchbook. They're really like how this sketchbook works and how it takes The alcohol markers So, you know I don't know why I'm showing you like this I really liked the way that it holds the alcohol markers. So I was thinking I'll do all my All my pages on here, but then I realized that this is like cream color. So when I go to edit Will not edit but like Pump up the values and stuff like that in Photoshop or try to you know, make it look nicer for print It might affect how that works Like because it can never find a true white on the page if that makes sense like if I'm playing with the levels it's always gonna be Maybe messing with the other colors a little bit. So I'm thinking I need to do this on white pure white paper But I have to do some tests as well again. So let's see how that goes out. That's pretty much The story so far. So I keep looking at myself. It's very difficult to talk directly into the camera But yeah, I was doing some character designs for the slow disappearance or those Yeah, the slow disappearance of Amelia funny story. I named my character Olivia Munn and Then Chris was like isn't that an actress and I was like, yeah But she's she's got like a slightly different name and then it was actually her name is Olivia Munn and I was like, oh Never mind. I need to find a different name so the original title was the slow disappearance of a little Munn and then Yeah, I'm doing it in kind of a Georgian Time frame in England So I'm looking up a lot of reference pictures such as like Emma and those kind of films Do you know what I mean like pride and prejudice that kind of era and I think it would be really fun to play around with that I think I really want to do that all in really like light pastel shades And then the other comic which is going to be set in the 90s ish I'm gonna make it really like punky and like bright colors And so it will be like a real contrast But I think it will be really fun and that's the comic update for now if you want more I think I'll probably post more stuff on patreon if you want to find out more stuff I really appreciate if anyone can Support me on patreon or even share something for me because obviously during this time for me It's gonna be difficult for me to get through it without I Don't know finding another job, and then I'm like I've got my groove of this one Like working and then in the evenings doing stuff. So I'm really hoping that I can transition if I do get made redundant, which is on the cards then I can transition into doing patreon stuff and YouTube full-time, but It's scary because I've got the wedding next year and we have a lot of rent pay and things like that and bills so You know when you have like two jobs at a certain level You get used to living and maintaining that that like level of stuff. So when it goes to Not having a big chunk of money that you get every month then it can be pretty scary and Yeah, the sounds really privileged, but it is scarier than that because it's like my rent My rent money and now that just ignore Chris just shouting in the background Yeah, that's what's on my mind. I think I'm pretty like stressed out about it. Um Yeah, good times Great 2020 right 2020 I'll talk to you later So I'm trying to practice a little bit more self-care and Reading these books and all the boys I love before I'm on the third book now So I was reading that in the bath and then just settling down for the night and reading my patreon book club But seven is book guide to slaying vampires, which is quite funny quite good at the moment And just relaxing with my family middle cats and Chris
