Not to sound ungrateful, because I thought the episode was fantastic. But what was going on that made completing the episode take longer than usual? From my very subjective viewpoint, your tweets made it seem like you kept getting sidetracked. Too much college work, grappling with demons outside of the ones who drew in this video, not enough sleep, etc? Regardless, well done, and I think I can speak for everyone by saying we're looking forward to seeing more of your awesome videos in the future!

Well, the short of it is I had a million other things to do. Journey to the West episodes take longer to script than any of the myth videos, and rather longer to draw because almost every frame is at least a little bit visually complex, and there are usually between 150-300 frames in a given journey to the west video. The problem is, if I spent a solid block of time working on an episode to the exclusion of everything else, I wouldn't have any other videos to upload in that time, and since I can't let the channel stagnate, I can't do that. So I have to space out my work on the video with working on OTHER videos, because that's what the channel is for. Basically, I'm working on the episode in the time I have between making regular channel content. This is true for most of the long, complicated videos - the Arthur video was in the works for over two and a half years. Journey to the West is fun, but it's not the primary priority in my life or even in the channel. It's one long-running legend, and a story that is near and dear to my heart, but it's not worth sacrificing my ability to maintain the channel at a consistent rate in order to crank out journey to the west episodes as fast as I theoretically can. Also, art burnout is a thing. I can't work on the same thing for too long or I get exponentially less productive and start hating what I'm working on. Because I really like Journey to the West, and I like working on it and drawing the characters, I don't want to ruin that for myself by forcing myself to draw when I'm not up for it. I typically avoid this problem by working on a large number of projects at once and making progress on the ones I'm up for working on at any given time, because I can't afford to burn out when I have a channel to maintain. Journey to the West is a long, long book. We're currently in the middle of book two of four. This will be a long-running project, and I do not have it in me to get it done as fast as theoretically possible.

I also have school, which means I have studying, memorizing, a social life, and a terrible sleep schedule to maintain. There's a lot of stuff to take up my time.

Do what works for you man, school should always prioritize over making videos, and I think everyone prefers the quality of the videos over quantity. Take your time if you need to!

I AM SO GLAD YOU GOT THIS ONE DONE! Please don't kill yourself but I do love your interpretations.

Completely understand. I wanted to know how the whole "sustaining a popular Youtube channel while also trying to live a relatively normal life" thing actually works, since I've experienced neither of those things in my own time. Sorry if I came off as ungrateful or needy in that last reply, but sometimes my curiosity gets the better of me.
