Finished the BG for my Pizza Table piece. I finished the animation, but I need to see it in the light of day before I decide it’s finished.

Uploaded my Birthday Phasmophobia vod.

Uploaded Studio Vlog 03! I’m doing a lot of thinking about how much is on my plate lately, and it’s becoming more and more clear that I need to stop making vlogs. I love making them so much but they take away so much time from actually making art. It’s hard to document your art process when not much art is getting done. This isn’t goodbye to vlogs forever, but I need to pause until my daughter gets a little older. Maybe I will have moved on completely by then, or maybe I’ll just hop back in. I won’t stop making video completely, I just need to pivot, find a different more easy outlet for it all. Maybe Reels? Maybe TikTok? 

Farewell sweet vlogs, I hope I get to return to you one day.

Uploaded this little ol’ short Valheim clip on my little ol’ vod channel.

Shot the new outtro for Studio Vlog #3 AND got most of the editing done. I MIGHT just make my Thursday deadline. MIGHT.

Uploaded my Valheim vod!

Shot the rest of my 3rd Studio Vlog and made this Polaroid wall. Then I realized, at this late hour, that I messed up the outtro. So we’ll be reshooting that tomorrow...

Uploaded another short vod clip onto my vod channel.

Sent this sticker off to the printers for my Patreon’s March mail reward!

I’m stopping this piece, it’s time to move on from it, it was just a study and it was taking me too long. I had trouble executing everything in Procreate. I need more practice before I continue trying full pieces again.

Uploaded this Vod clip while I was on the way home from Arizona.

Uploaded the Vod for the second part of my Monster Sticker Stream - I really really really like this thumbnail!

Found blending modes in Procreate - so found my final colors for this mall piece!

Streamed Valheim last night on Twitch with Will, Amanda, and Jamie.

Uploaded my Devour short on the vod channel!

Finished coloring all the frames of the Pizza Table piece. Need to finish the BG and put it all together, fingers crossed that it all looks good moving together!

Uploaded a short clip on the vod channel! I’m trying to find shorts to post because it’s hard to convince people that don’t know you to invest 2 hours of their time to watching your vod. So I’m trying to offer a little flavor. It’s hard to find short-worthy segments because I don’t really know how to listen for them. And I certainly can’t tell while they happen live. 

Making some pizza progress! Think I can get all frames colored today, then I just have a BG problem to tackle. The problem being that there is no BG designed.

Uploaded my short Fall Guys vod!

Got into coloring this pizza piece! So many frames left to color!

02/15/2022

Uploaded my Devour vod! I really want to play more Devour, it’s super fun and super scary. I haven’t watched through this one yet, but I feel like I was quiet the entire time because I was too scared.

Did another Monster Sticker Stream on Twitch today! 

Chipped away at editing my Studio Vlog #3! I won’t be able to finish shooting it until next week - but I should be able to post it and one more vlog before March. Which really is my only goal.

Uploaded Monster Sticker Stream.

Uploaded my Line Boil Tutorial for my Patreon.

Made very little color progress on this mall piece. But very little progress is still progress. It’s just very little.

Time to sum up the week!

Streamed 4 times on Twitch!

2 of which were art streams

Shot my first tutorial for my Patreon

Packed up and mailed off my first Patreon mail rewards!

Uploaded 5 videos to my vod channel

Uploaded my vod for Left 4 Dead 2 up on this here vod channel! Loving the hell out of my vod channel! 

Did a reshoot of my line boil tutorial for Patreon, Monday’s shoot went horribly. I had autofocus issues so I’ll have to add overlays in post - I’ve done this before in my first studio vlog to make up for terrible lighting and I liked the compromise! Next tutorial is going to have good lighting AND correct focus. Such a learning process, this.

Uploaded Part 2 of my Mall Drawing Stream vod. My thumbnails are skirting that border of wacky.

A lineup I posted on Instagram - I drew these years ago but I put each of them in my S6 and RB shops as stickers. The coyote in the middle has always been my favorite, he would make an excellent sticker.

Had a lovely daytime art stream! Here are my warm up sketches, which I might try to do at the top of every art stream from now on. It really did help!

Then ended the day with some night editing of Studio Vlog 3! Night editing is pretty much the same as day editing, it just sounds cooler. Even though it’s not.

Finally got space to shoot the first part of studio vlog 003!

Drew up some thank you cards for my mail reward patrons!

Did a game stream tonight, some rando crashed our game twice. It was weird.
