Every once in a while I think it's appropriate to thank friends and followers for just being nice...yeah it's something we kinda take for granted and it SHOULD be the rule, but sometimes it deserves some gratitude. I know some of you might think I'm a dinosaur when I ask you not to F-bomb in your comments on my pages, or other expectations I have for the comments like lack of rape jokes or whatever seems amusing on the internet these days. I have my own reasons and I prefer my closest friends and family not see such things on my work, but it really does show me what solid and nice people you are when you respect my wishes on those points when asked politely not to do them. It shows maturity and that you are thinking of the feelings of others, and not just your own.
The other side of the coin are people who throw hissy fits and and tantrums when you ask such things, what's commonly known as the "butthurt" fanboys. I have no patience anymore for these. Yeah, we get it. You hate X and you think Y and Z are stupid. We get it. Move on. When I ask you to tone it down or just ignore things you hate for the benefit of others' enjoyment, there's no reason to get offended. If your knee jerk reaction is to get angry because I make a request like that, you don't really respect my work or care about the art, you just want an excuse to be an angry fanboy and vent your own frustrations.
I'm tired of it, it's not becoming of a mature fan and it dampens the joy of the fandom in general.
So THANK YOU sincerely for all of you who have been friendly and good enough to respect my wishes. It shows a ton more character than being the stereotypical angry fanboy. It also encourages me in my work and putting out more kaiju and comic related material, because an artist loves to reciprocate good feelings.
Sincerely,
Kaijukid,

Sheesh, I'm Dead XD
Life is insane, but it wouldn't be life if it wasn't I suppose. Finally got my hands on a new car after my old one bit the dust, but I'm also narrowing in a new second job to try and combat rising expenses and paying off said car. While I lined up something nice, unfortunately it looks like I'm going to have no choice but to take on a second full time position, which of course means life is going to be changing for a while. I can't live without working on my comics and stories, so that's not gonna stop, but some things have already had to change for this year. I had intended to make a Titanus Behemoth cosplay for this year's G-Fest, but time and money simply won't allow me to make the suit in time and to my satisfaction. I'll be fulfilling my commission requests I've received, but obviously following the new status quo and working two full time jobs I'll be retiring commissions because there just won't be time or energy. It sucks that we live in a world where most people can't get by
Once More Into The Fray...
I'm sorry the work basically was ground to a halt this last month, there's practical reasons why it's been that way, but I hate losing time on my projects. Thing is life is looking to be changing in some big ways soon, which I won't go into, but I'm immediately afraid it'll mean that I'll have even less time to work on the things I love, but I hope that won't be the case. To quote an oldie, "On the other side of this trial I'll be a better man". That's the goal, but I won't stop making the things I love, it just may go a little slower. Time will tell.
Let's Make It Great
The older we get the more hectic and busy life can feel like it gets. 2023 was a mixed bag where I personally feel like I got a lot done that I wanted to accomplish, while failure to do a large amount as well. I guess that's pretty normal for most of us. For 2024 I have an assortment of goals I hope to accomplish to my best ability. Continue my fitness journey and stay disciplined. Make a lot of custom figures of characters I love and take a huge chunk out of my checklist. Stay consistent and regular on Godzilla Triumphant and Good Words With Sako. Complete a new costume for the 2024 G-Fest. Overcome a few personal obstacles and be the best man I can be. The start of a new year doesn't magically make us achieve things any better, success or failure is determined by our personal fortitude and will power to achieve our desires, as well as good fortune when life gets in the way, but it can be a good time to reassess our priorities and refocus. I've been struggling through the last year
Customs Wishlist Highlights 2024
Every year I try to get myself psyched up for creative projects for the next one, especially after dry spells like I've had lately. It's just nice to have those little creative goals to look forward to, and while this isn't everything I hope to make it gives you an idea of where I want to fill out the little corners of my collection, because either the "real" things are too damn expensive (Like the griffon from Latitude Zero or MechaGodzilla City) or they were never made, like Onibaba from Pacific Rim, Tatsu from TMNT or weird outliers that I just like such as the Village Monster. I definitely want to finish making the cast of Godzilla The Series this year, that side project has been long, long overdue. So hopefully life will be agreeable and I'll find the time and the change I need to buy the ever-increasing cost of sculpting clay, but I'm looking forward to it. Gonna get rough though if the Monsterverse keeps heaping monsters on us like the Ion Dragon and such :P So onward and

Sounds like you hit the same wall I did about 10 years back in the kaiju community. The amount of complaining and anger that "fans" vent gets to that blood curdling level. So much that it actually starts to wear on your own health. I know I was getting a headache from listening to it.
But I really appreciate all the work you put out there that deals with pretty much anything. You have passion and it shows. And that makes me smile and reminds me that there are more than just dumb, screaming fans out there.
I am personally with you on the language of overall demeanor of folks. We create videos and art and stories that should be positive. Why else would someone want to watch or look at something that is nothing but negativity. I get that enough at work and real life. Why would I spend my free time and look at something for entertainment purposes that is nothing more than someone yelling through text or a video screen?
Anyway...good work so far!
