My movie has failed.
1 min read
Ahoy me maties, your commander is on deck to bring you an awful piece of news.
As some of you are aware of I have a YouTube channel that I occasionally make animated movies using Gmod. I am sad to inform you all that the only movie I have worked on and off for quite a while now has sadly been lost.
It was supposed to be a simple 3-minute movie featuring everyone's favorite arsonist Burnro. Sadly after I switched computer the video recording files for it have apparently been corrupted and cannot be saved. Some good news is that the movie was honestly extremely bland, so no reason to be too sad that I won't finish it.
I might make something else late... I personally doubt it as I always suffer when I make movies, but you never quite know.
I hope you will all have a nice day. CommanderJonas signing off.

Ahoy me maties. I decided to make a twitter account in order to have a place to dump random stuff(random overthinking, stuff my brain somehow found funny, stuff like that), in order to connect with a wider audience and keep track of a few people whose content I really like.
You can find it right here: twitter.com/BrunholtJonas
Just wanted to share that, I hope you will have a good day

I think I owe a explanation
6 min read
Ahoy me maties, I would like to offer you guys and gals an explanation as to why my upload ratio has been so awful lately. This is a complex and difficult subject to cover, but I will try to answer it as well as I can.
The reasons can be divided up like this.
Education issues: The past year was one of the most tumultuous years of my life. Here I struggled hard with finally finding an education, but after searching for several years I finally landed one last year to become an industrial technician. The problem was that this education sucked the life straight out of me and left me unable to work on my projects most days
Another issue is that thanks to my ADD and Autism I was unable to get an apprenticeship because of one major issue, thanks to the aforementioned mental issues I suffer from poor stamina and get tired really easily. And when I get tired I get dangerous as my concentration becomes absolute garbage. This makes it way too dangerous for me to work in a metal shop with industrial machines that cut metal like it was made of paper really dangerous(at least when I am tired)
So, in the end, I had to go back to my old job as a facade cleaner. This was not so bad as it is an okay job. The issue is that it drains me as well and this makes it hard for me to work on projects after a long days work.
Perfection: last year I went through a metamorphosis, and I have become very perfectionistic with my artwork. I have begun to see flaws in my artworks and my standards have gone through the roof. This has the good side of making the art I uploaded last year among my finest works. The bad news is that this slows me down further and thus I have a hard time making artwork for DA. I don't know a solution to this as I am reluctant to lower my standards, so we will just have to take it as it goes for the time being.
Depression: I have suffered from periodic depression for the past couple of years. It really comes and goes, the problem is that last year it got really REALLY bad and I more or less had a complete crash and burn during the summer of last year. I decided to get some professional help, and while I currently lack a psychiatrist I have been put on anti-depressants. The problem is that while I am not suffering as much mentally as I used to, I now have even worse stamina as the pills I am on makes me sleepy. This has more or less derailed my entire life as I am now having issues doing my job and my hobbies at the same time, so I have had to prioritize. So until my stamina goes up or my depression goes down I will keep things going at a slow pace.
Cocaine included: The better half of last year was largely hard for me to work in Gmod and other projects because of a game known as "Oxygen Not Included" this is a fun little management game where you have to keep a little colony of people alive. The good is that once you get the hang of it, it is a lot of fun. The bad is that once you get the hang of it, it becomes extremely addictive.
This is why I and my friends have given it the nickname "Cocaine Included" and as a result, it has sucked so much of my time last year... I apologize for this.
HUGE PROJECT: Over the past three years I have worked on and off on this massive project that I have been reluctant to take up because I have had so many other projects lying around. But last year I decided to work more seriously on it as an experiment and after a while, I ended up realizing just how much I love this project. So now this project has become my main focus, It has literally become the biggest project of my life. This has the problem that It is taking up so much of time that I don't have time to work on much else and this slows down my upload ratio as well. I am trying to put some time aside to work on a few pics, and I have a goal to upload one pic every month for the time being.
What is this project? you might ask, let me tell you about it. It is a Science fiction novel series, you heard right a NOVEL SERIES, not just a single story, It is an entire series of novels. It is set in an original setting I have developed from the ground up(with the aid of some friends), I have been pouring huge amounts of effort into it. Doing everything from story arcs, character development, worldbuilding and much more. It is an action series, so there will be much fighting and some suspense and it will feature many characters with special abilities and quirks (For those who has liked freak characters, you might like this as well)
I won't say much else about it other than I hope that this can become something I can make actual money on. I am hoping this can get published and read by people and hopefully entertain them. Because then I can get my dream job and become an author. Living on what I have been doing as a hobby for basically all my life, to create stories, universes, characters and entertain people and my own hyperactive imagination.
Time will tell if this can become a reality, I hope it will, but no guarantee for the time being.
I hope you can tolerate my bad upload rate for the time being... But until I can get my life sorted out and until I have fewer projects on my hands I will be continuing to upload at my current rate.
I would like to thank you for reading all the way to the bottom and if you did please comment down below so I know that people (hopefully) can understand why I have uploaded so little the past year.
I hope this was not too much of a ramble, and I hope you will have a good day

A great man has passed

Yesterday we lost one of the greatest titans of entertainment. Stanley Martin Lieber, AKA Stan Lee has passed away at the ripe age of 95 years old.
This is truly a sad news that cannot be understated, he has created so many great characters and stories that have helped to inspire, uplift and entertain so many people for so many years. And his work will continue to inspire for many years to come.
He was a larger than life man, who loved people and always did his best to make others happy.
To you Stan, I salute you. You have done so much during your stay with us, may you rest in peace

Update.

Ahoy me maties, CommanderJonas is here. Now that we have gotten that overly dramatic intro out of the way I can now tell you a bit about what is going on as of late.
As some of you have noticed, my upload schedule of one pic every two weeks has officially fallen flat on its face. I have been unable to keep this schedule due to one simple reason, I just have too many projects going on.
The complex answer is that I have been working on too many pictures/projects at the same time, I have been trying to make many pics at the same time, movies, writing and some secret things I am not going to reveal any details about just yet.
Another contributing factor is that I have felt that the quality on my pictures has gone down, this is because I have not had enough time to uphold my schedule so I had to work on smaller and lower quality pictures.
So instead I will now try and focus on making higher quality pictures and not try to keep an uploading schedule anymore. I hope you understand
Bonus news: I passed 190 watchers the other day
Bonus news 2: My cyberpunk image,
is now my most popular pic in terms of faves. Taking the spot from this
I hope you all will have a good day, CommanderJonas out.
