Saw your post about being review bombed for things unrelated to your actual show. I will be starting your podcast tomorrow morning. You don't deserve to have your creative dreams stomped on like that. I hope they grow bored and leave you alone soon.
I greatly appreciate you and everyone else who has given the show a shot as this all has been happening. After speaking with my support system, friends, and the community as I can on this I will continue the show regardless of the ratings it gets. That said, any feedback (big or small) is appreciated and helps make the show better!
DOOOOO IT! If you need help, resources, VO/VA, whatever feel free to reach out. The creator community is lovely and super supportive.
I want to create an audio drama so badly. It would be a dream come true. Either create one or at least help in creating one in some way. It's honestly hilarious how often the "Audio drama fan to audio drama creator" pipeline occurs. I wish I could join
A timely quote.
Dutch was many things, but at the end of the day he was a Dreamer.
RDR2 informs a lot for the show and if you ever want a peak into the creative process of the podcast know that most episodes of DW come with a few hours of riding around in RDR2.
I am going to follow this blog because I really like their insight into other audiodramas in the space. (/internally screaming "PLEASE DON'T THINK I AM ASKING FOR YOUR INSIGHT ON MY SHOW, I JUST LIKE THE WAY YOU USE WORDS AND I WANT TO SEE MORE OF IT ON MY FEED.)
Your support has been incredible, so appreciated, and insanely validating. When you put a creative piece of yourself out there, you dream of it finding the right audience and it is incredible to me that this show has resonated with so many folxs. Knowing that 10,000 people gave us a shot blows my mind.
Every listen, every share, every review, every rating, every piece of engagement on social media, every single thing YOU all have done has helped to lead us here. So, speaking on behalf of the incredible cast and crew, we at the Dead West thank you so much for showing up & showing our story love! Spotify Apple Web Your Preferred Player
its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%
Sometimes while I am writing for or editing an episode of the Dead West Podcast I get these images in my head and I have to get them out in some way or another. It normally comes out in some version of photo bashing or editing as I am still learning how to draw. This one is my edit of the American Gothic painting by Grant Wood. This came to mind as I was writing about the Davis Family in our first few episodes of the show.
The Ceaseless Grind
Working out some frustration in some design work today. I like this WIP alright enough, might try and find better elements to play with but it was at a point that I figured i'd share it. I normally just photobash or throw some elements I like into Affinity, do some blending work, color correct, and call it a day. Still trying to work on my own design work but drawing/conceptualizing images from nothing is a place in need of improvement on my end.
