I used to watch your videos a lot, helping me on my journey into digital art. At one point I wanted to give up, because I couldn't find a job in the art industry, thinking I was just not good. In one video you said the whole point is that making art makes you happy. That helped me push through. Now I actually work in one of the biggest CGI comapnies.

You're so on point, this focus on quality & raising the bar is so rare nowadays, everybody's just chasing money, releasing clearly unfinished/unbalanced content, that's not good for neither the companies, nor the fans. I understand, it's all business, competition & being present, otherwise you'll be forgotten quickly, but if you release a product with love & care, that'll be so so much beneficial in long term

Hey Trent. Thanks for the advice. I had started watching your art videos a few years back and ill admit it inspired me to get better at my digital art 9 which i did). But over the last few years ive been working as a product manager and art has slipped my hand. Its not that I can't do, but just that i find it hard to manage my time. This was really inspiring and i can relate it to my work as well.<br>Enjoy your videos as always !

As a small indie tabletop game company this is great information. The Illusion of being an industry leader is something I will take from this. Thank you!
