    I’ve made a lot of stuff, but it doesn’t always fit in community art channels because its usually not a single visual.

    For years in school/college I made Garry’s Mod / SFM animations. I was slow at it, and the subject matter was often something dumb, but a few times I made big hits. I had large gaps where I didn’t have inspiration for big lengthy animations and instead uploaded silly gameplay clips or whatever seemed funny at the time, but my old channel is visible here:

    I finally decided I didn’t want my whole creative legacy to be based around manipulation of a single game company’s models, so I wrote a book. It’s on Nook, Kobo, and several other sites (not Amazon) and called Rangers of the Frostscape.

    That said, slow feedback and low visibility hit me maybe more than it should have. I’ve seen many artists make things for the joy of creation, which I had to admit wasn’t what I was doing. Fighting purely for popularity is a doomed venture these days.
