It's feels like a century since I heard "Squid up? No squid neutral!"

[swoozie]

The real ones r still here man. Take those risks

[sabby]

waaaiit spilled ink is such a creative name because emily is clumsy and daidus is a squid 😭😭

Hey Daidus, I am a 44 year old Chinese Australian woman who learnt about your channel through my kids, have watched many of your videos and they really have a heart. Thanks for sharing your life using your art! Hope you have lots of fun with the videos you make!

"That feeling you get when you confirm you still love what you do"
Holy shit that hits hard

[audjusushi]

"The strawberry grandma"!!! 🤣

[TJToons]

I feel this on a spiritual level brother. Can’t wait to see some kickass content on spilled ink!

[wheresmygrasses]

I love Daidus for how real he is. We’re all human after all.

[GingerPale]

INK IT UP!!! <3
let's get real INKY, no ink-shaming here

[sammybrown]

I used to be solely digital art but now traditional paintings, graphite, and charcoal is just so classy and appealing. Maybe it’s growing up, and definitely the AI epidemic, but it’s just so fun I feel so much more inspired doing physical media. Happy for you!

Been watching you since I was in middle school, and I just turned 20 last week. I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say we will never abandon you Daidus!! I've always loved watching your videos because they're funny and I can tell it's the type of content that comes straight from your heart. I'm literally always so excited for whatever new project you come up with, and I am SO hyped that you are reigniting your passion for art!! Too happy for you because you deserve it for the amazing videos and laughs you've been giving us all these years man. We love you Daidus, and Ima always be right here to support whatever content you put out cuz you're just that guy!! 🫶

Haven’t heard squid neutral in a while, I was so happy to hear it again

[HanamoriKuna]

I’ve always loved the animated YouTube channels. It’s unfortunate YouTube doesn’t give animators more attention or audiences give more patience and understanding on how much time and effort a single video takes. But Daidus, your in JAPAN! Make memories! Enjoy the moments! Go hang out with Emily. It’s the Kiki conundrum of using your passion as your living. Take all the time you need. Your animations were always very interesting and goofy.

The frame of Emily thinking about Astarion is so relatable lol 😂

as someone currently going through an art existential crisis... i needed this.

[Jasperience]

Back in the day I much preferred digital art. Since I got back into art I'm actually liking traditional art more and more. It's like reading manga, I'd rather hold a physical volume in my hands than read it on a screen.

I completely understand. I took AP Art, and the constant need to produce to not fail affected me mentally, especially when a lot of things happened in my senior year. It left me burnt out and I stopped drawing for a long time. My love for art was dwindling for years until a few months ago
