Karla Van Der Berg

Well thank you, I never liked playing things safe either but at the same time it felt like it’s always been my downfall. Everything I write is always super niche and against the grain, which tends to be a hard sell. I had friends who had better like making something mainstream but then twisting a few tropes and making something new out of s…[Read more]

@deeprun
Oh gosh, you really have me on the brink of tears here. Thank you, I appreciate that so much. As for the whole I know why now, what I  meant is that it’s hard to break the mold and create an audience from scratch. People like what’s familiar and it can be hard to market it. Especially since I deal with subject matter that might step on t…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist I have been working on it since late summer, though I had the story idea for years and made various written drafts over the span of almost a decade.

Honestly WEBTOONs is a good platform, and an easy way to get an organic  following if you are dedicated and produce something that isn’t too niche. There in lies my problem. I…[Read more]

Whoops, didn’t think about that, should probably edit that if possible, but thank you! ^_^

I AM NOT THE ONLY CHRISTIAN COMIC ARTIST! HALLELUJAH!

(BTW, this art style is just so much yes!)

Yeah that counts, should have thought of blogs too!

Nah, I just have been busy doing various things to promote my own work. ^_^’

I definitely still plan to read it! 🙂

Well, hope this isn’t spamming but I finished volume one of my Christian Scifi, psychological thriller thing! 8D

Yeah, youtube is an all or nothing kind of deal not exactly as easy as people insist it is. :p

I’ll give it a shot, this seems to be like my sort of thing! However I hope it’s okay that I am honest, I am the kind of person who wants people to honestly critique my work so I kind of expect everybody wants the same from me.

Thanks guys! I will have to check these channels out! And brainstorm new YouTube ideas…

In the meantime I also made a Wattpad account, and released a new Christian story of mine on there. I must warn that it falls under hard Christianity and has language and violence (but doesn’t promote those things since I am a Christian  pacifist I ju…[Read more]

Thanks everyone, Though a bit of an update. The visual novel wasn’t the most well received, but I still want to do stuff on YouTube. Though I am not entirely sure what yet. I might just have a podcast like thing over a video of me drawing or something. Man, youtube is harder than I thought ^_^’

@kari-karast Ah, I am afraid that the clone wars one was my only one. I also played homebrew systems and a Pokémon tabletop. The Pokémon was nuts, and non of the players cared for the story at all. Instead of following the mission they got arrested, burnt down coffee shops, and ignored the fact their characters had any established character tr…[Read more]

@i-david ironically I burnt my mouth on a cup of tea, which I JUST made FYI, becuase I was impatient to let it cool. I guess that action speaks for itself doesn’t it? And you do have a point, I advertise my novel waaay more than I do myself. Hmm…

@kari-karast I played the one that takes place during the clone wars, whichever one that was…

@r-m-archer

Yeah, if there is one hard lesson I learned via paid ads it’s that money cannot buy everything. I have been drawing artwork of my characters and commissioned some artists, but so far that’s had the same effect as any of my ad campaigns. I think the niche might be holding it back a bit, especially since the book discription is mean…[Read more]

@kari-karast Star Wars was my introduction to the RPg world as well! Ah, I had such a fun time terrorizing my fellow players with my nutty gag characters, who had tragic backstories that caused them to have some unique quirks. Like the one that could hardly speak galactic basic and got words confused. XD
