  • I got a comment awhile ago that I got hung up on, so I made a video about it. Watch me animate W2H2 while I try and explain my life story.
    I'm also coming up on 300K! So feel free to ask me a question down below and I'll try to answer it in a video!

    That comment honestly just makes me think someone saw vivziepop and Hazbin hotel and just assumed that Erica could something similar in a short time. Making any animation by yourself essentially takes forever. Yes, some people might lose hope or be disinterested. That doesn't disregard the hard work put into this.

      Dude, please don’t compare Hazbin and W2H, Hazbin is just- trash. (I’m sorry-) W2H has WAY more passion and far more interesting and lovable characters, Hell’s portrayal is also interesting and accurate.
      Sorry if I came off as rude, if you love Hazbin, good for you, I’m not going to attack you, I just hate Hazbin and I see it everywhere, it’s getting annoying.

I lost her in an accident almost 2 years ago and Welcome to Hell reminds me of a lot of good memories we shared. Take as much time as you need, Erica. It's finished when it's finished.

I still go back and rewatch it, I downloaded it to my phone so I could watch it in the waiting rooms of appointments, I still see old posts about it I reblogged and am reminded of how happy this ten minute video made me. it introduced me to Irish stew (the band who sang 'I will Never be your friend'). w2h changed my 14 year old life and I'm here as a 20 year old still watching your South Park reanimation and old hair tutorials. I'm rambling here but you forever have my following, you forever have my support, and Mephistopheles will forever have my love. thank you Erica wester for making youtube (and the internet in general) a better place.

    Welcome to Hell is one of few animations years back that made me put down my pen and go, “I suck at writing books and if animating my stories is something I can do then I wouldn’t want to write a book anyway...”
    Thank you for the push your work gave me, I’ve still a ways to go, as does every story writer, but if it weren’t for you and a few others, I would’ve given my stories up altogether. I didn’t. And I won’t.
    Personally, I believe in writing stories and animating them to make them a reality the story teller can be proud of, for the purpose of telling it to anyone listening. That is to say, I believe only those who bother listening, whether it be six years later -or whatever number some others say this will take- are the same people who don’t care how long it takes, because that isn’t what matters. Do people not get it? It’s not about how fast Erica builds up a team and puts the next chapter out there just to make a buck off it, it’s about Erica telling her story for the sake of story telling. And I for one, as I’m sure real fanatics of her work feel, could care less how long it takes. Because it isn’t about the clock, it’s about telling a good story and loving the hell out of it regardless of there being another chapter or not.
    Besides, are people really gonna tell me they’re upset because they aren’t getting what they want and that whoever isn’t giving them what they want should feel guilty about that?
    Honestly, how stupid....

I have no idea how welcome to hell got made in such a damn short time regardless of help, I had infinite time and yet working on the project still felt like hell. Yet the second I did get a job, when I got home at 2:30 a clock I just wanted to lay down and get depressed I'm not doing what I actually want to do.

    I have been waiting for w2h2 ever since the pilot came out. It’s been something on my mind for years and no matter how long I have to wait I will stay subscribed, stay updated about your channel, and keep waiting for it. Making an animation all by yourself must be really hard and somewhat stressful and a lot of people need to understand that and be patient.
    You are doing an amazing job,, keep up the great work !!❤️

    I appreciate you coming out and saying something. I wasn't hanging on your every word - i grew up learning about animation as a process, and i understand how long it takes and how things get in the way and yadda yadda yadda - but it's nice to hear something. You are literally "the person i know as the one who made Welcome to Hell" and it's still impressive as a short to this day. Granted, that's probably an indication that i'm easy to please, i still think it's good to allow creators time to create.
    Life isn't going to go away, but neither is the potential project, and you can only produce the right quality under the right working conditions. If that means answering questions, then sorry i don't really have any ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I don't want you thinking i'm breathing down your neck just because you haven't put out W2H2: if you put it out, i want it to be because you are done with it. Whether that's because you can't stand to look at it anymore, or because you legitimately think you can't improve anymore, or you don't put it out and concede that point i will accept what comes from your keeping it in mind. Best of luck, and best wishes.

    When this video popped in my notifications i super stoked. I love hearing you talk, your super quirky and i think your story telling is very good. Also watching you animate is very interesting to me. But I also look up to you alot since youre the reason I want to become an animator myself. Your art and animations inspire me to do more art and practice my animating. I guess I just wanted to say, thank you for being the main source of inspiration for my art.

    Hi Erica!!! I used to make w2h art and edits and I don't make them much anymore but everytime I get a notification from you on Tumblr or here I get just as excited as I had the first time I watched the shortfilm (: take your time! Even if the second part comes out in 5 years I will be just as excited! Take care!

    I can see the improvement sooo much. I always got WTH reccomended to me and when I finally decided to watch it I fell in absolute love with it. I have a passion for art and animation and it really inspires me, plus the characters are just so loveable. Really makes me inspired to pursue animation, maybe even in college. Thank you

    Erica!! I hope you see this!! I was one of the artists that helped color the first W2H!! I used to follow you back in the DeviantArt days, you were a HUGE inspiration to me. As an artist with a full time job and a side passion project, let me just say... OH MY GOSH, it is SO hard to find the time, energy, and motivation to work on my own project when I done with my day job, chores, making dinner, etc. And it's a comic, not even an animation, so I can imagine how difficult it's been for you.
    I remember when you posted the animation to tumblr, and then later uploaded it to youtube! I've been around since! Anyway, I just love your work, and I'm so excited you're working on this project again. I'm going to subscribe to your patreon later today!! :)

The carecters just make me smile when I see em and I can just watch that video on repeat. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face by sharing your art and I hope you are able to make the story you want to do in the time you want to do it.

I honestly don't care how long it takes, I WILL BE THERE TO SUPPORT YOUR WORK NO MATTER WHAT. I hope you are doing okay and taking care of your health and needs, good luck Erica and I look forward to what you'll be able to make (and I always will be)

  • @Meme_Deluxe
    @Meme_Deluxe 4 года назад +2

    Welcome to Hell still sits in my heart as one of my most treasured memories of animated Pilots on the internet, it's funny, quirky, whilst still reaching the serious level of animation and story that makes it feel as though it could've easily been ripped straight from Cartoon Network or any other big brand cartoon tv company.
    I don't think I'm ever going to have the patience to get into animation, but, your art style and comic humor have been one of the many things that have at least kept me going in terms of my normal art, so thank you for that, I hope that you're proud and excited with whatever and however W2H pt2 turns out to be!

    I totally understand! I got real shit going on through college and I graduated and I had this big line of projects I thought I would finish by college and I didn't, and now I have a job and I can't focus on my art either. What I say is that life happens and it gets harder and harder to do what you want but still you never gave up and you keep up working on this project you believe in. You did this by yourself and this became so big it has even been traslated to other languages and now I am here commenting from Mexico with the hope you get to see how big your story has come. Be proud of yourself and never give up, we can wait, it doesnt matter when it comes out, what matters is that you get to do something you love doing and be proud of the results. Love your art btw ♡ you are amazing.

    I don't think I've been subbed since the pilot released, I can't remember when I saw the video for the first time, but I've been subbed ever since! I keep forgetting it exists, then you randomly post a video, I go "who's that?" and click on your channel, and get reminded hahah. I'm cool with waiting for sure, knowing that when it's ready it'll pop up into my sub box, and I'll be excited no matter what! I had no clue about the webcomic though, I checked it out last night. It's wild to think that there's so much more to all of this than I thought, what with your tumblr and all that. The pilot defintely has reach though, about a year ago my friend came to me and was all like "dude you need to check this out, I found this animation on youtube and it's really cool! there's only one part out but it's super interesting" and when he linked I was like yeah it's good as hell!! I'm already subbed to the creator hahah

  • @kitti7512
    @kitti7512 4 года назад

    Hey! I've been a long time follower of yours. I remember when I was a lot younger you released Welcome to Hell. I was immediately hooked and every few months I've checked in to see how the second was coming along with no prevail.
    It's been about three years since the last time I checked but it just randomly popped into my mind. So, I looked it up.
    I'm glad that you're still working on this project, oh my gosh!! I understand a bunch of life stuff happens in between work but the fact you made a video addressing this and a specific well written comment makes me smile.
    Thank you for all the hard work. I await the release of of Welcome to Hell 2!!
    Yours truly,

  • @viosey3723
    @viosey3723 4 года назад +1

    I love that you’re coming back with a sequel for your animation! I only saw welcome to hell in 2017 I think.. but i’ve Been re watching it a lot since then. Don’t rush yourself too much, make sure you still take breaks and aren’t forcing yourself to do too much. You’ve really inspired me to try to get my projects going, though I can’t do as much as you I try to do what I can. I’m in awe at how you animate, and it makes me really want to get better at drawing and animating. I’m not the greatest at animation, but I kinda know the basics and I can do some things but I’m still not very good at it. I really like drawing but sometimes I feel like I’m not good at it, and I always have trouble of not making good character designs that I can draw more than once. I kinda have some ideas but when I put them together they don’t work out well. My animation class is coming up in semester 2, and I really want to get help to fix my stuff to work better. If you have any animation apps or programs that you recommend, or some ways to help me do a good character design like shaping the sketch or limiting accessories... I dunno. Thanks for reading this.
    Also in questions i’d like to know if providence, Lillian/Lil, the Angel, or silver the dog are going to be in welcome to hell 2?

    Ngl I’ve been waiting quietly in the shadows for an update on this I’m just glad to see it hasn’t been forgotten. I loved the original animation and I’ve just been lurking here waiting and one day I can’t wait to see where it goes. Take your time :) I’d say I can’t wait to see the final product but I can wait until you’re ready. You’re work is fantastic. The concept grabbed so much attention and so many people did love the characters. I hope one day it gets picked up and you can work on it for mad pay. You can do this you’ve already done so well. I wish I had any skill in this so I could offer to help.
    Let’s let this never die down and keep showing support!
