EW Twitch Stream Week of 92218 Recap

#twitch #creative #drawing #ironman #mortalkombat #bouncer #farm #joker #batgirl #pumpkinspice

As of this post, all art from this week has been sent! Check those whispers!! Above is the pieces from Monday 9/17's stream - the first day trying a new stream format. Starting on this date, the stream got an updated screen layout, I added a sub goal giveaway to unlock in place of the now discontinued credit in bank for subs and resubs. After today's trial run I further minimized the types of giveaway raffles by discontinuing boss priority on requests for bit cheers.  Simplicity is the new goal here. Also this week I started streaming 6 hours to allow for the additional drawing, and to further compensate for the inclusion of inks and colors on the request list. Upgraded items ( drawing requests that are going to be inked or colored ) are put on list in chronological order, but are subject to a cool down after 15minutes of work on them to allow more pieces to be done in the given stream time. After a cool down of two other requests we come back around. If theres several upgrades in a row, we volley back and forth between 3 or 4 upgrades till we finish one then add a new piece. I am considering moving the cool down to 4 pieces instead of 2. With Subscriber Goals, Donation Goals and Bit Cheer Goals all unlocking a trip to the Wheel of Draws for giveaways, things simplified quite a bit and this format would continue rest of the week! We still do a Next Drawing Request Of The Stream raffle in middle of each stream, and a Last Drawing of the Stream at the end for all followers. The idea with these raffles is simply to allow two opportunities per stream with the single intention of getting you a drawing ahead of the ever growing list! Come out daily to try again! If you win both then you are immediately advised to go buy a lottery ticket cause its your lucky day. ;) 

Below are the rest of this week's drawing requests, ink requests and color requests we got done or in progress! See you guys Monday for more!

Above are the drawings, inks and colors from Tuesday 9/18!

Above are the drawings, inks and colors from Wednesday 9/19!

Above are the drawings, inks and colors from Thursday 9/21!

Thank you for the overwhelming support and encouragement from the trEW crEW members!! Big ups to Top 3 Supporters of the week: Request King ( Top D ) TheDorkKnightz, Request Champ (2nd Biggest D ) KingKoningTiger and the Request Boss ( Biggest Bit Cheerer ) Epelesker! This new format was very well received and worked well in every aspect. It will take a little fine tuning here and there but I dont foresee any changes in the near future. See you guys Monday to pick up where we left off on Friday - and I'll be working hard this weekend to get Best Of Request Vol. 2 out to the printer! 

See you next week for more live drawing action! Only on twitch!

EW Twitch Stream Weekly Recap 9518 - 91418

As of this post, all art sent/ masterlist updated for the weekend! Check those whispers!

I bundled the last two days of my 3 day week into this recap. 9/3 was labor day and I took a long weekend and 9/7 was off for appointment errands. Above is the upgrades and drawings done on 9/5/2018! This is also the first week not using the gratitude wheel/ gratitude time anymore. It allowed for an increase in productivity and getting to more requests. Thanking folks with the drawings they're itching for instead of other silly means.

Above is the upgrades and drawings done on 9/6/2018! The marathon of gratitude-time-less drawings continues, also with new tweaks to the brush settings and trying out different nibs in the wacom stylus for fun effects and new possibilities.

Above is the the only artwork I got done on 9/10/2018 - I had a super fun birthday weekend and visiting with my sister but was up too late and was out in the cold rain a little too much so I was under the weather on Monday. I switched to playing games for my normal stream time and had fun goofing around and gaming with viewers.

Disgusted with the unprofessional stream on Monday, I rested up hard that day after the impromptu game stream and fueled up. After a solid nights sleep I hit the ground running on Tuesday 9/11 and drew some of my favorite drawings yet this month! While I try to provide escapism for viewers from the usual observances and tragedies that the media will bombard us with to no end, I did enjoy the moment of doing a 9/11 tribute piece ( shown bottom middle ) and learned about all the amazing people who have and are serving that hangout in my chat. Thank you so much all for all you do for this country and people like me!

9/12 was supposed to have a power outage early morning and stream that afternoon. The local power company is doing maintenance in our neighborhood. Low and behold, they didn't turn the power off at the announced time in the morning so I fired up the stream at normal time and streamed and did some drawing requests anyways! Unexpectedly the power was suddenly turned off at 200pm and that was the end of the stream and day. A handy power supply that I had the forethought to hook up when i caught wind of the power companies doing work around here saved the last drawing i was working on when the power went off in the middle of it. So i saved really quick and shut down safely much to the relief of the client.

9/13 - fairly disappointed in the lack of performance on monday, and the power outage mishap on wednesday, and coupled with the fact that thursday 9/13 was the 1 year anniversary of being a Twitch Affiliate, I did a 10am-5pm request stream. We had some fun giveaways and other fun events get unlocked and also drew some fun drawings. I did a sub-only giveaway every hour for those who have made being affiliate so great. I also had a lot of fun with so many of these requests that I put a lot of extra time into most of them. But we ended up with 13 solid drawings by the end of the day. It also didn't help that there was about an hour lost when Twitch servers experienced a black out. I kept the stream running and worked on my chibi backlog with that punisher chibi at top till folks were able to come back. 

We ended the week on a high note with the awesome drawing requests above. Announced today is the discontinuation of giving drawing credit to folks who sub. This will be replaced though by daily giveaways for subs-only to join the other sub-only drawing requests perks like direct-ink-sketches, custom canvas colors and your choice of different brush types. Got new emotes coming and new merch items coming. Plus plans in the works for new subscriber CREW goodies and stream fun. 

Look for weekly stream clips to be uploaded to EW YouTube, theres two new ones this week.

( EW YouTube )

Look for stream recaps to continue on a weekly basis after every week is complete.

And see you at the next stream, same drawing time, same drawing channel!

As of this post, all art sent! Check those whispers. Masterlist updated as well. Today was the beginning of a straight short week. I was off Monday just for some extra time off, then today I started the stream 2 hours later cause I had to run an errand this morning. Then I'm only doing Drawing Request Show Wednesday and Thursday at 10amET. Friday I'm off again to take Kristina into the city for some medical checkupness. 

Today was the first day of the new direction without the Gratitude wheel. I didnt have what I wanted done with the Giveaway and Game Of Fate wheels yet so today I did a different kind of giveaway with raffle only. This evening I got some new scenes built and new Giveaway and Game Of Fate wheels built to use rest of September. Happy to announce 3 new games on the Game Of Fate wheel! 

See you guys Wednesday for some more Drawing Request Show action! Only on twitch.tv/eryckwebb!

EW Twitch Stream Recap 83018 and Month End Update

@twitch @twitchcreative #wacom #inkscape #inks #colors #drawing #sauce

As of this post, all art sent! Check those whispers! Thanks to everyone who came by and made this Thursday stream a super fun one!! We got a slew of great works done and some Upgrades this morning as well. I celebrated a crEW member's birthday and even got to draw my own Lion-O from Thundercats when the awesome mama-jamma who won Last Drawing of the Stream gave the request to me. As tomorrow is the last day of August, there are some changes coming for September starting next week ( and next month )! 

1.) Every Drawing Request will be drawn 110 % faster, and with 110% more sauce.

2.) Gratitude time will will be at end of each stream. And only supporters that are still present will get spins. The spins do not carry over.

3.) There will be new items in the merch shop. 

4.) An adjustment to the schedule! Its still 10amET M-F but Mondays and Fridays will now be dedicated Upgrade days. 

5.) The upgrades are now in chronological order. 2018 is priority, with pre 2018 upgrades and chibi special orders as secondary priority. Priority upgrade orders will be done by their respective deadlines.

6.) Best Of Request Vol 2 is slated for release this month

7.) Every 12th month subs get a spin at the Wheel Of Drawz instead of their usual drawing credit.

8.) Top 3 Supporters of the week get new prizes. Request Boss gets 5min in retainer, Request Champ gets 10min in retainer and Request King gets 15min.

I'm excited for the new changes, and the potential they open up. Thank you for everything you guys do. I am humbled to be able to get up and do what I love to do for a living everyday, and share it with you all. See you guys tomorrow for more action!

Same drawing time, same drawing channel!

Eryck Webb Twitch Stream Recap 82918

@twitch @twitchcreates @wacom @inkscape @photoshop #drawing #hamsters #worldofwarcraft #wow #portrait #batman #saitama #onepunchman #draweveryday

As of this post, all art sent and master-list updated! Check those whispers! Thanks so much for all the love today! I was a bit tired today and felt like I wasn't putting on the best stream I could, but you guys still encouraged me and help me push on. The drawings were pretty good regardless and before the power went out we got some cool drawings done. A warm-up of a mechanized hamster warrior, a batman on a horse and some sword flinging angel action. 

Then the power went out suddenly after a large donation and unlocking a couple giveaways. It was off for almost 2 hours. We had already passed the half way mark when the power went out. And I had no way to update anybody till the WiFi and power were available again. So I worked on work I had available on my mobile computer, my Samsung Galaxy Book 12. It had a full charge before the power went out and had a few pieces on it already that i could work on offline. So I did that. Then I got some lunch and walked the dog. By the time I got done doing this stuff the power was back on. It was already past when DRS would end, so I decided to stream the upgrade work I had intended for today. 

I worked on inks and colors for a World of Warcraft inspired piece showing to avatars of two friend players. I inked it and when I started to go to color it, I found a previously inked version of it. I had already inked it. So that was a few hours wasted. The art that is. The stream was another story.

We had a super cool raid by the amazing Adufresne99 and she brought over around 130 viewers ( if i remember correctly ). I was just about to do those giveaways that had been unlocked earlier, so we did them. Two of her community won drawings and I drew for them right then and there. Super fun and great meeting everyone.

Thanks for all the support today, and making it a fun day even with the power outage throwing things out of wack. 

Tonight I streamed and worked late after an evening dinner break. Got that WoW piece all colored up, as challenging as it was. Had some really cool lighting, color tones and textures workout on the final piece.

Also super big thanks to CocoKickz for the amazing fanart of my stream's 3 Insta Tokens as fully realized, almost elemental looking, characters! I truely love the direction she went with them and the design aesthetics are so cool. I never would have gone that way but I am super glad she did. I want to draw these designs too sometime for sure. Thanks for letting me request some art Coco!! And she did this with a mouse! I keep saying... when she gets a drawing tablet... she will be unstoppable!

The golden Insta Token for priority above normal requests, the green Ultra Token for twice the priority and the cosmic blue Quantum Token, which gives ultimate priority over the request list and is known to bend space and time to break stream rules. 

All in all, we all got over that hump! I'm off to bed. All art sent, master-list updated and I'll be back at it bright and early to do more. 

Same drawing time, same drawing channel!

EW Twitch Stream Recap 82818

@twitchcreative @twitch #creative #drawing @wacom @inkscape #hotrod #ratrod #superheroes #bombs #anime #spill

As of this post, all art above is sent to their forever homes! Thank you so much for a fun Tuesday Drawing Request Show! We even started the day off with some pre-show production streaming where i colored the Fullmetal Alchemist and Afro Samurai pieces that were due today. Did some tracing for some graphic stickers. Did a bad-ass desert cruising rat rod, some bombing' mascot action and a whole lot of other stuff. Super fun.

Big thanks for the gift subs today and the bits and the crazy number of hosts. By the end of the stream we had piled up a bunch of gratitude spins. Most folks weren't there for them. And thats fine, I have things in place so they can watch them on the VOD and such if anybody missed them. As the stream goes on, and grows and evolves, I begin more and more to question the need for the gratitude spins, and the wheels all together. This week, and last week I am feeling more than ever that, for the sake of doing the drawing requests, and giving the show more focus, that I may eventually phase out the wheels. I already thank Subscribers and Donators with drawing requests. I'm starting to feel the gratitude spins are this tacked on extra that is not as necessary as it used to be. If I got rid of it i'd probably change the way I do giveaways in general to not use wheels. I've got some other ideas of ways to do things that will accommodate the growing number of viewers and supporters, and streamline teh stream a bit for the future.

So while none of this will change this week. It could be something I implement for next month for sure.

Thank you for all the encouragement, and support. I would not be doing this without any of you folks in the crEW, and all the fans that are new!

See you tomorrow 10amET for another Drawing Request Show! Same drawing time. Same drawing channel. And keep an eye out for a pre-show production stream. Only on twitch.tv/eryckwebb

And also, go check out the new Merch store! Links on the right side of this site and at top. Fun EW stream merch and more. New items monthly!!

Goodnight!!

EW Twitch Stream Recap 82718

@twitchcreates @twitch #creative #drawing #stream #request #sketch #inks #colors 

As of this post, all art from today sent! Well thats one way to start a week! Amazing support during Drawing Request Show unlocking 8 free drawing giveaways. Unbelievable! Apparently whatever I did right on Friday carried over to Monday? Hahaha. Well we got that squared away and also got some super fun drawings done. Today also saw the start of two new additions!

The main thing we were celebrating on stream today was the launch of the Eryck Webb Stream Merch store. People can buy EW brand-related items to support me and the stream. When they do it causes an alert on screen! Thank you so much for a great launch! Hope everyone enjoys their mugs, tees and posters! For the launch, I posted items with my hat logo, my Eryck Webb Graphics logo, and the Drawing Request Show title logo. A special item was the first in what I plan on doing a series of, and that's monthly emote items. Each month will feature a different emote item. Collect them all! For the launch, the item was ewDRAW emote with the word DRAW! in bold letters below. This was provided as a mug, a tee and a 8x10 print as well as I thought it'd be fun for folks to have in their office or creative space to help motivate them. There will be a new item of some kind monthly, and seasonally as time goes on. Coming soon, I will also be doing some sub-themed stuff for those trEW believing crEW members. Thank you! I'm excited about the possibilities of the new store.

The second thing we started today was in response to the incredible support I've been getting lately. To offset the support a bit and try to get more drawing in, I changed to a 3 tier system. When we do gratitude time, the more somebody donated the bigger the wheel and prizes they get. So instead of 4+ gratitude spins they get one for their support to try and win them something good.

Thank you for all the drawing and support today. See you all tomorrow same Drawing Time, same Drawing Channel

10amET every Monday through Friday on http://www.twitch.tv/eryckwebb
