thank u for your content and sharing your craft with us!!

[@YakOfArt]

we're only getting started :)

[@syedhateem4498]

Thank you for sharing your work. I got introduced to your videos through the Akira video and it mesmerized me and made me excited that I can also one day make it in blender(when I learn it 😝)

[@YakOfArt]

that's awesome! There's so many more iconic anime's to dive into.

[@dracon436]

i had hard time finding someone who focuses on architecture using blender and specially making scifi building or anime style like akira, once i saw ur videos on instagram i searched for your channel on youtube and subbed immediately, i hope you continue doing more tutorials and i dont mine buying full paid course focused on this subject

[@YakOfArt]

Thanks for saying that. It's always nice to hear when people are finding my content valuable because I will sometimes forget and get in my own head about it..

[@Nkanyiso_K]

Congratulations on an amazing year 🥳 it was kinda rough emotionally so Im busy making a short parody & I'm excited to work in more Blender into my upcoming year

[@YakOfArt]

outside the art stuff, the life stuff is always a challenge. it's crazy how connected it all is though. Looking forward to what you make

[@oityler]

Your content really helped me dive into Blender and learn so much more about it!

[@YakOfArt]

That's really awesome to hear Tyler! it's been inspiring watching you make progress too!

[@NoamElyasim]

It was really interesting to hear you talk about those things which not a lot of people do. I can relate to your story very much. How did your Instagram got that big eventually? I struggle with Instagram SO MUCH these days. Don’t know what to do 🤷🏻‍♂️ (and I upload quite frequently)

[@YakOfArt]

Thank you for the kind words. It helped me a lot when I heard other artists and people talk about it too, so I'm happy to bring that for others. I've been using IG for a long time and trying all kinds of things, but I could make a whole video about how I think my IG blew up. I have a discord server now and we often talk about how to make better videos and content for social media. You can join that and learn, or you can wait for the video that I will eventually make about it ✌️
