Maui's surfboard

Guys, please don't get upset or harass anyone involved that is literally the last thing I want or need at the moment

I take full responsibility and accountability for my hastiness in rushing into making this plush and not checking the guidelines of making the plush, that is completely my fault.

It's not twitter, or Joey Drew studios or Makeship's fault, it's mine and mine alone, I understand and would like to extend my deepest apologies for everything that occurred. I should have known better and I am taking this and learning from it.

If anything, the people on twitter, while harsh, did save us from a worse fate than if the petition ran for any longer. In a way, they protected us as well.

HI ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Don't beat yourself up over "not trying"

If you have to force yourself to write it and draw it then it wont be good because YOU aren't having fun.

If it's something you're forcing yourself to "try harder" on, then what's the limit? Is the mona lisa not enough? Is starry night not enough?

Your style is always going to keep improving as you go. No one is grading you on your story: so you shouldn't be ashamed to make things easier on yourself

That's what fly and I did!!! Thats why its all in black and white!

We put a lot of effort into certain parts: like audio or animated sequences, because we WANT to. It's GENUINELY fun for us!

If you don't WANT to put 100's of hours into writing and planning and coloring and shading: Then don't! No one but yourself is forcing you. And as you go, you can put more if you want!

Bottom line is: Enjoy your story. If it's not fun for you then it won't be fun for anyone. The love you put in your work will always be visible.
