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!

Best Of Request Vol 2 Final Corrections Complete

#twitch #drawing #book #selfpublishing #release #product

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.

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.

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 9/20!

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!
