Most of you have followed me for a long time here on Deviantart and have witnessed the birth of my Caldyra project back in 2012. Yesterday, all the hard work from the last 6 years has paid off! I've launched my Kickstarter to sell this Illustrated novel and it already reached 75% funding in the first 12 hours. I will offer the 200 page (200+ illustrations) book, the concept art compendium, prints and traditional sketches as well as character commissions! I encourage you to have a look and value all support!: CLICK TO VISIT THE KICKSTARTERPAGE
Tell us and show your work in the comments below! I'm curious to see what you have in the making and what you want to turn it into! A comic? A novel? An animation? A game?! After my own Kickstarter I will be happy to write about my experiences and all the do's and don't, as well as show you the costs and calculations you have to make!

What to do with your insecurities as an artist.
Openly showing our insecurities seems to be trending and it’s good that more and more people are sharing their struggles! I won’t be lying when I tell you I get people approach me nearly every day, expressing their insecurity in their work and seemingly unreachable goals for their career. They’ll ask me to look at their work and I’ll help them lift their spirit. I tell them that we all started somewhere and all we can do is work hard and see ourselves grow over time and that their work has potential.
Yet the more I do this, the more I realize that simply having someone’s spirit lifted doesn’t help them, it
Artists: stop worrying over this bullcrap.
It's been a little while since I felt cause to write another artist journal, but recent events inspired me to make one about the nonsense that artist worry about and my concerns over their inability to think for them self.

How to stream your art! And benefit from it.
Has any of you ever thought about streaming their art on Twitch creative? But something keeps you from it.
I certainly recommend trying it! The audience on Twitch Creative is generally very encouraging and supportive.
You can grow your art-skills, get tons of work done, broaden your social circle, broaden your audience and if you like, even earn some money to buy food for your pet.
Here are some great benefits to streaming your work, in terms of skill development.

I'm looking forward to my signed copy. It will go on my shelf along with my other signed works (so you'll be in good company as I have Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman works on that shelf)
