Good Morning! See You For Doodle Stream Tonight!

#twitchcreative #twitch #fanart #videogame #doodlestream 

Good Morning all! Getting going on some client work all day but looking very much forward to tonights DoodleStream and the one on Thursday as well! See folks out at 9pmEST! Grab a seat early and get your donation/ sketch request in ahead of the pack. I also use this time Tuesday and Thursday to decompress and work on my own drawing. The theme for tonight will be a retro video game fanart of a game I used to and still love to play to this day and have always wanted to do a fanart of it. I did a BubbleBobble fanart near the end of 2015 and this will be a fun one to do next! But if you want to see what game it is, you'll have to come out and see it. 

Each Tuesday and Thursday I will be doing a themed drawing of my own, all while taking donations which enable viewers to get from 1 minute to 15 minute doodle sketches. Plus if they want it finished for 24 or 36 dollars i'll schedule it to finish up all squeeky nice within the following week.

Anywho, come on out, enjoy the rants about movies videogames and comic stuff and get some sketches or watch the one I'm working on be created from the ground up!

See you then! Have a great Tuesday!

RoadRunner Slot Commission

#roadrunner #championsonline #superhero #hero #speedster #utah

Thats it for this week. Above is the last slot of the week! Was a boat of fun and I enjoyed having Oboe out on the stream watching the creation. Also 2-4pm today I had DoodleStream session live and got one bite. The ping and black sketch below as my warmup before doing the doodlestream and the above slot commission. I like her retro vibe, women had some cool stylies back then. And then got a sweet 'witch' superheroine commission that i did a 15 minute sketch of and will finish in full black and white inks on Monday. I have a lot on my plate and will be devoting 100% and a couple hours tomorrow (saturday) to getting a comic project done as well as knocking out character art. So I will not be opening up slots for next week. I may however do two dedicated doodle sessions tuesday and thursday in place, or a live commission session. If you have a preference, comment below. 

Have a great weekend and see you all back at it on Monday!

SuperBowl 50 Result - warmup sketch

#superbowl #superbowl50 #broncos #panthers #sketch #warmup #inkscape

Despite mediocre commercials and very slanted towards the broncos offials I enjoyed the game and the resulting win. I wish the panthers had tried harder for it. But their whole attitude towards the game could be summed up by mr 'golden boy' mvp quarter back of the panthers avoiding diving into the scramble for a fumbled ball. That must be their whole attitude, not afraid to get in, get banged up and get dirty. They didnt want it bad enough I guess and were out classed on every level. Good job Broncos, and congrats Peyton Manning on one heck of a last game. If its his last!

EWG Doodle Stream 2-3-16 Recap

#livestream #twitch #commission #doodle #liverequest #broadcast #quicksketch #inkscape

The first EWG DoodleStream event was a success! I advertised a few days ahead of time to try to generate more interest and participation but did not receive the crowd quantity I was shooting for. But the folks who did join in the fun were great and donated dollars and requested great doodles. The sheet of random doodles above is from in between requests when I was free-style drawing whatever came to mind. Everything from krang to pokemon and wiley coyote. A couple of the headshots at bottom were for the viewers who donated at least a dollar, I did a quick 'minute' sketch. These were savage dragon, venom, and brock samson. One viewer requested megaman, but I never did see that dollar come through so no megaman. Below are the pieces requested for $6 donation or more!

'Wendy' from Gravity Falls for DaCommissioner thank you for your donation!

Melanie ortiz from ghostbusters comic having a close encounter of the ghostly kind and not too upset about it, for DaCommissioner  thank you for your donation!

A sweet robot OC for Robaschi whom I did a piece for earlier today, pre show as well.  thank you for your donation! He got this doodle sketch done in about 10-15 min and will have it finished inked and colored within the next week!

Salty Roo who i've done a few commissions for by now - with a hot rod rat fink vibe. Kangaroo skulls and suicide shift knobs to boot. Whats in that kangaroo jump juice anyways? For SaltyRoo  thank you for your donation!! He received this doodle and will receive a finished inked piece within the next week!

These are doodles for donations received previous to the event. AerialAxiom thank you for your donation!! He received the doodle of his warrior crab claw staff character. And will receive a finished inked and colored version in the following week! Robaschi thank you for your donation!! They got a doodle of their kid oc ready for adventure!

This overall was a good learning experience, and generaly a success. But I learned some things to do differently next time. I also will be experimenting with days and times to see what works better for traffic and such. Eventualy, I would like to see lots of shoutouts in the chat of subjects and themes to doodle and a healthy amount of donations for doodle requests! But it will take time to build up an audience for that sort of thing. All in all, a good first try and I have some notes to take with me for next time. 

Get everyone their finished pieces in the coming week! Should have them all wrapped up by Wednesday! Enjoy the rest of your week! Goodnight!

Autodesk Sketchbook on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Max Printable Resolution

#autodesk #samsung #galaxynote #sketchbook #pixels #resolution

Couldn't understand why I'd work with a hires file and kept accidently ending up a lowres by the time I got it to my computer. After some experimenting and trial and error, I realized the problem. 1.) I AM able to use a verticle canvas of 2830 high by 1831 wide pixels (which translates to 39.306 inches heigh by 25.431 inches wide at 72dpi ) and the horizontal equivalent, work in autodesk sketchbook mobile on my tablet and transfer it to my computer and turn it into 11 x 17 at 300 dpi with no visible quality loss. What was happening is I'd transfer that to drop box and download it to my desktop and when i open it it'd be 800x1200 (roughly) and horrible quality. Not usable at all for hires commission orders. Not nearly printable. So if it started out hires and printable, what the heck was going on? Well turns out, if you rotate your canvas in the Autodesk Sketchbook gallery, it'll downsample the resolution when it resaves it at the new orientation, overwriting the previous version. And you just lost your hires work cause it over writes it. So 1, you are better to rotate/ crop it in Gallery or Photo viewer outside of sketchbook, or two, what im giong to start doing is just leave it's orientation alone cause you can rotate it while your drawing on it, and it doesnt matter how its oriented in the gallery. But if you dont rotate it in the Sketchbook gallery it stays hi quality. Also for the longest time i was using 2550 x 1600 but tonight i discovered i could max it out at 2830 x 1831 - outstanding! The two image croppings above are 100% size, at that resolution and opened up in photoshop on my computer after transfering them from my tablet and they are damn crisp! So, just a tip to new sketchbook mobile users out there, dont rotate it in the gallery if you care about your resolution. Do it in the Gallery App or Photo app that came with the tablet, or just wait till you get it to the computer! You can just rotate your 'piece of paper' when your workin on it anyways so who cares about its orientation in the sketch book gallery. Dont confuse the autodesk sketchbook gallery of works youve done with the gallery on the tablet for all your drawings, photos etc. The tablet gallery wont automaticaly downsize your photos and it wont do it to the art. 

Also, i highly recommend the Wacom Bamboo Smart stylus. It is a fine upgrade from the standard Spen. It is seperate and theres no compartment to attach it to the tablet, so often on the go i'll just use the spen. But I had long ago messed up the flimsy plastic button on the spen and couldnt use the air command feature anymore. Well the Wacom Bamboo Smart has a button and low and behold it works with the air command so I can use that again. Plus it has a much more natural feel in hand and reacts with the art tools and pressure sensitivity better. Shway recommend!

As I said to my wife today, I've been using it for around 2 years now and I still am learning new things about it. Great tablet, recommend. Probably half the price of a iPad as well. Or that new Surface Pro 4 they are billing as a 'creative tool'. Sure, I'm sure it is. But 2500 for a surface pro i might as well go get me a big 24 inch wacom cintiq!
