Incomming Changes - (Announcement) (Patreon)

Hey Squad, I estimate we should be done with the ZBrush Series in about 15 days -
So, we're actually ahead of schedule here and I'm super excited to be done with the series and move on to more fun things in the very near future - Once we complete the ZBrush series, I will be making some very big changes to the channel and be introducing some new software and project plans, as well as some personal goals I have for the year that I would like to share with the community -

To put it simply, I've come to a point where I really need to make the decision between a (1)full-time company job, (2)part-time/YouTube, and (3)full-time YouTube.

For the longest time I would basically do YouTube, and then in between tutorials,pick up some freelance or odd-jobs to pay the bills. Nothing crazy, but usually enough to get by with the combined YouTube + Miscellaneous revenue. But, the channel and Support Squad combined is starting to get big enough to the point where I find myself making enough to not need to go searching for extra freelance stuff in between videos anymore.

So this brings me to a new unknown area now. Now that I've basically learned how to use ZBrush, a lot of job opportunities that I didn't qualify for, are now opening up. If I was going strictly off money, the Company job would by far be the best option for me. Constant $30-40 an hour (around $5000 a month) with the occasional raise/promotion. However, the downside is I would no longer be able to share the work I do 8 hours a day with the community, and would have less time to generate content -

On the flip side, If I can keep this momentum on YouTube going, I might end up making more than I would from a normal job after a few years, and also keep generating new useful content for the community. Personally, I would like to continue to be able to make and share the work I create here on the community with everyone. It's nice to create something and know that it's helping or bringing other people joy or fun.

So, I've decided to give myself a little test-run deadline - After the ZBrush series is over, I'd like to spend the next 6 months putting 100% of my time and effort into the channel and improve the quality of the content coming out. I'd like to see if I can break even with what I would make doing a normal modeling job. I wanna see how far I can get when all the stops have been pulled, and there are no more distractions. During this time, I'll be adding some new tiers to the Support Squad with some major perk updates that I've been holding back up to this point. I'll also probably start to prepare a discord community as well as other things that many people have been asking for for a long time.

There's a lot of changes I have planned for the future, but I think this post has gone on long enough, so for now I'll leave it at that. Thanks for being here everyone, none of these new opportunities that have been unfolding for me recently would have ever been possible if it wasn't for everyone here supporting the channel - I can't tell you how much you have all changed my life, and am eternally grateful. So, for the next 15 days, let's just plow through what's left of the ZBrush series, I'll see ya in the next vid and hope you have a Fantastic Day!!
