YURR! What’s good, Habgoblins. Looks like we’ve reached the end of February, time is FLYING! Last week, my livestream chat and I had a conversation about this year’s Black History Month. I don’t know about y’all, but it felt kind of…lackluster this time around. Maybe it’s the LEAP YEAR effect or something.
A NEW ANIMATION IS OUT
It’s something short I threw together inspired by a TikTok sound I heard over a month ago. There’s also a high-resolution illustration version you can view here on the Unit 333: Reveries Virtual Art Gallery too. All part of the Unit 333: Reveries Project. You can learn more here. I plan to have more shorts like this uploaded through the rest of the year, leading to much longer animation.
Bruh, You Don’t Know Me/But, I Am You…, Close-Up, Unit 333: Reveries (2024)
NEW STREAM & CONTENT SCHEDULING
Here’s a shortlist of changes you can expect with going forward into March.
[ YOUTUBE ]
- 1 Video Per Week on Wednesdays @ 2PM EST.
- If any EXTRA videos are uploaded, they will drop on Fridays @ 11AM EST.
- 2 Live Drawing Streams per week on Tuesdays & Thursdays @ 11AM EST
- 1-2 Shorts Per Week on either Saturday @ 11AM EST or Sundays @ 2PM EST
I will be pivoting away from Let’s Play/Walkthrough Video Game Content. For those who were interested in the Mass Effect or Starfield Playthroughs, I apologize. However, due to low numbers and engagement, it doesn’t make much sense for me to continue. Instead, if I do any Video Game Content, it will be similar to my recent Pacific Drive Video OR in the form of Video Essay about a particular game and its art.
I want to create videos that are connected to my own philosophies and interests, topics and art that I’d want to share with you. Whether it’s a Livestream, DA ART BLOC, Hab Oh Speaks, or some good ole Timelapse Videos, I want to ensure that the body of work I produce on my YouTube Channel sets itself apart from “the usual”. Make sure you’re checking out the Community Tab too, this is where I can effectively gauge your interests in new ideas, concepts, or silly questions just for fun.
We’re now at 833 Subscribers and I didn’t think I’d even get past 100. This community will grow and will become more active, I’m sure of it. We’ve got YouTube Partnership in our sights!
[ TWITCH ]
- 1 Live Drawing Stream on Wednesdays @ 8PM EST
- 1 Gaming Stream on Fridays @ 8PM EST
Twitch is an odd platform and it’s changed so much since the Lockdown, so I’m trying to figure out ways to utilize it best. Especially as this is the only monetized streaming platform I have right now out of the two (YouTube is close to becoming monetized). I’ve grown tired of the whole “sit down and play games” vibe, so Wednesdays will always be focused on artmaking. Sketchin Sessions, unlike Drawing Sessions, will be a bit more casual where I’ll just be doodling or be joined by others onstream to draw. Bits can be used to request certain things, as long as they are appropriate. Keep the NSFW requests on Patreon, haha. Fridays will feature a video game, as of this update we’re playing through Skyrim but after Skyrim, I think I may just hop from game-to-game or do multiplayer nights as well. We’ll see.
And, of course, the schedule for both YouTube and Twitch is always subject to change due to personal circumstances, etc.
ART UPLOADS AND PATREON
Initially, I had this idea to upload a new illustration EVERY week, but I realized how impractical that was. It doesn’t give y’all the time to absorb and sit with a piece nor gives me an opportunity to have downtime. That being said, uploads of new work will happen once every 2 weeks, potentially once a month. As I’m plugging away at the early stages of the Unit 333: Reveries project.
Unit 333: Reveries pieces will always go up on Patreon first with bonus materials, in addition to exclusive Patron-Only work (i.e - comics and downloadables). I’ve been extremely active over there over the past month, even dipping back into my Erotic Art Journey, which will have some crossover with Unit 333.
The Founding 500 Special, Patreon Membership Tier “Gentle Goblin”
Remember that deal I mentioned in the previous newsletter update? I’ve altered it a bit and I’m looking for the first FIVE-HUNDRED HABGOBLINS to sign up for just $1/month. Will you step up to the plate and join the current 15 members who have chosen to lay down 4 quarters to support the continued development of all Habtoons projects? Here are six (6) reasons I’m sure will convince you:
1. The first 500 people to sign-up for the $1/Month Tier are locked-in for a Lifetime, gain Founding Member/VIP Status on my website (The Hall of Habgoblins), and the added benefit of a rewards from higher tiers. Quite a steal!
2. You get EXTRA art & content, we’re talking EXCLUSIVES.
3. Ain’t NOBODY on the internet creating to the quality, depth and detail I am. My art style, stories, and opinions are unique!
4. Equipment Maintenance, Software, Art Materials/Supplies, and Printing Costs are EXPENSIVE.
5. I’m a one-man team. All the art, livestreams, videos, editing, research/development, filming, animating is all done by ME (among other things).
6. The preservation of Black Culture & Stories without the quality being diluted by outside forces that would seek to alter or censor the narratives we need and deserve.
