Stream Notes: Halloween On Twitch 103118

#twitch #streamer #recap #streamnotes #halloween #draws #stream #sauce

Had a super fun Halloween stream today, the hat sort of took over and enveloped my head and turned into a sort of jack o lantern. I can't get it off even as I type this. Hopefully after trick or treating, or perhaps tomorrow morning, it will revert and I will be free. But till then, it makes for a fun Halloween! We did a normal stream it just had an all around Hallowed theme and vibe, and we drew a lot of fun requests, several of which were great for Halloween. I rocked some Halloween tune classics as well as my collection of more 'evil-esque' metal and of course... lots of dance with the dead. 

Here's a few screen shots. I can't believe this month is over! Its been a wild ride, both with the month long Halloween themes and the Inktober challenge every day. But happy to put a cap stone on all of that and now focus on November.

As announced on stream today, November is all about thanks giving, and gratitude for the good things, and the lessons learned from the bad things in the previous year. As we head into the holidays and wrapping up the year, I want to take this month to thank all my supporters and clients and fans by putting a very big focus on Upgrades specifically. I will be working extra hard to get as many done as possible, and will be putting more emphasis on the ink and color finishing than the drawing request portions of the stream. 

The Halloween emotes and merch items are going away end of today, and making way for some fun items for November! Look for that to go live over the next couple of days!!!

I'll be back 12pmET (noon) tomorrow - whatever the current Eastern Time is. Our time doesn't roll back till the weekend. So plan accordingly! 

See you tomorrow for all the upgrades. 

And thanks again for a great October and Halloween!! 

Everything got turned to a necroplasmic green for halloween

Todays halloween stream had about 3 to 4 giveaways unlocked by supporters! Thank you guys!

And of course we got lots of epic draws done!

See you tomorrow ( next month )

Stream Notes: A strange but fun week 102618

 

 

 

#twitch #drawing #creative 

As of this post, all art sent! So ends a strange but fun week of Drawing Request Show! It was a short week though it didn't feel like it. As everyone was getting ready to head to TwitchCon I was taking Monday off to spend the day with my wife for our anniversary, then Tuesday and Wednesday I did Drawing Request Show but was having trouble finding my groove. Wednesday I was a bit off I was a bit tired for some reason, it turns out i had sinus issues creeping up on me once again. Cause Wednesday night through Thursday morning I started having sinus swelling and discomfort and then woke up with sinus headaches Thursday morning and ended up canceling the stream. Though I was not up to streaming and being a good stream host, I did knuckle down and take care of some work I needed to do anyways. I was able to prepare and launch the PreSale for Best Of Request Volume Two - available now over in the EWG Shop! I was also able to update the master list and get a recent book order of BoR Volume One ready to ship as well. I did a bunch of other stuff that escapes me right now and generally worked on recovering and getting well so I could stream today. To make up for it I streamed for 6 hours today instead of 4, especially since we had a good number of priority requests come up today. Ironically, as Halloween approaches next week, I enjoyed a couple Christmas requests today. I am noticing though, and appreciating, that people are trying to give me holiday related requests early so I have plenty of time to get the art done for the holiday. That helps a lot so thanks to all who are doing that. There 3 or 4 upgraded pieces that I need to get done for Wednesday that I'll be pushing to front of the line between now and then. And overall the stream went really well and I look forward to getting back to it next week. Have a fantastic rest of your Friday, and a great and safe weekend and I'll see everyone back Same Drawing Time, Same Drawing Channel!

And go get a book before the sale ends!!

See you Monday!

Best of Request Volume 2 is off to the printer!

#twitch #drawing #book #publishing #selfpublish #art #artbook #sketchbook #collection #thehatisincommand

It's been a work in progress, a labor of love, and a challenging effort since spring of this year, but I'm happy to finaly say, that Best Of Request Volume 2 is off to the printer! It's all finished... FINALLY. Featuring 250 pages ( 50 more than Volume One ), 100s of drawings, stream almanac and record book, several contributed written pieces, commentary on the 2017 stream year and the drawings throughout the book, full color cover action, and a blank page for personalizing and signing each copy for those who purchase that option. All of this... is now on its way to print land. Thank you very much to my wife for your understanding with all the long hours, thanks to those trEW crEW members for all your encouragement and enthusiasm waiting for the book, and thank you to everyone who allows me to wake up every day and do what i love to do for a living. This second book, much less the one before it, would not be possible without you guys. Thank you for making this book possible, and for supporting me, my family and my drawing dreams. And for not unfollowing and unsubbing when I kept blowing past intended production deadlines. This thing was massive and I underestimated the work that would go into it.... but it is now DONE.

After everything checks out with the printer we will launch the PreOrder and celebrate the release on Stream! There will be several PreOrder options and all PreOrders get extra stuff with their purchases.

Stay tuned!

Thrilled to announce to the crEW and all that are new, that Best of Request Volume 2 final corrections are all complete! I will be reading the finished book a few times over tomorrow ( with fresh eyes ) to double check we didn't miss anything (but don't think we did). Then I'll add final touches on the cover art files and it's going to the printer! Should be on its way as of tomorrow! While its getting processed at the printer and we wait on proof copies, I'll be working on special items that will be included for folks who PreOrder the book, and won't be available after the fact. PreOrders will launch very soon! We'll have an official launch party on stream when that happens! Super thrilled!  It's been a labor of love, but it's been a monster! I'm excited to call it done and get it into the hands of those who've been looking forward to it. Then after a couple months I get to start work on Volume 3!!!

An EWG Logo Wall Painting

#mural #wallart #graffiti #painting #walldecoration #art #twitch #creative #thehatisincommand

So today I decided to do something I had thinking about for a while. I decorated my studio wall with some artwork. I did the EWG logo with acrylic paint. Its the first time I've attempted painting any kind of wall art decoration and it was a lot of fun. I was a bit intimidated to do it, but once you break the ice you basically have nowhere to go but forward. I really enjoyed the effect of the rich smooth black parts after laying in all the white and orange under painting. Its a neat new edition to my studio, and will inspire me and remind me of the business and brand I've built over the years. I want to take it further but will need more paint. The face logo begs for me to replicate stream emotes, shapes and random characters and objects into the mix bursting out from the logo. I love that this goes behind / above my studio couch, for when I'm thinking, resting and absorbing inspiration from my many artbooks, comics and sketchbooks. While it didn't come out perfect, I'm pretty happy with my first attempt EVER, and would love to do more in the future. 

I started by figuring out the size and painting a first layer of white that everything will go ontop of

I did several pplications of white and orange to prep the under painting. I used loose orange for sketching in the different parts. I originally was going to just do the logo, and was afraid to deviate outside of that. But then got bold and a creative burst added the fading out orange background

the blacks went on so crisp and smooth over the light underpainting - it really came together with the blacks

while not exactly like the logo it was close enough and i like the graffiti-esque look

eventualy i could see that whole section of the wall filled with objects and shapes and additional items to add to the logo

 
Brings a personal touch to my creative command center. it was neat to be in such a big version of my logo, and working on it. i was reminded of all the ways the business has changed over the years and all the clients and projects that have come and gone.

Taking A Day Off Stream

#twitch #stream #art #actiondraws #sauce #hiatus

Letting the crEW know I will not be streaming wednesday 10/3.

I appreciate all the support, and all the encouragement!

Just taking time to finally listen to my body and my brain and take time off. Draw hard and fast as I do you forget to look for the indicators that you should slow down and take a break.

So taking a day.

Be back soon to draw all over your faces.
