A really rough sketch from yesterday. I've done a lot of good creative work this weekend!! Hopefully I'll finish some full pieces soon so I can share them >:3

Something cool also: This weekend I did some test streams on Picarto to see how well my computer's hardware would sound. Because I don't want to try streaming if it's going to look and sound horrible. Surprising result: It actually looked and sounded really good. Both my voice and the music I had playing were discernible and pretty decent sounding. Worrying whether or not I could produce a stream that actually works and is kind of quality was a barrier I had to trying streaming despite being VERY interested in trying it. I've considered doing it for like 3 years now lol

So now I that I know what to expect with streaming I'm more keen to actually try it!!! I don't want to do it until I finish up my commission queue though, but after that I most likely will :0 Streaming seems like a fun way to take a couple sketch requests or prompts and I would feel bad taking requests when I have commissions to finish. If you've watched me for a long time you may remember a couple times when I would take requests by posting an ad and just letting people comment their refs. Doing it via stream seems MUCH more interactive and fun. Obviously I don't promise any quality with request pieces, but I find them fun to do occasionally

My test setup includes Mic(for my voice), Face cam, and music. I personally don't like art streams that don't have the artist's voice and narration I'd rather just watch a speed paint at that point. Just a personal preference of mine that I would feel obligated to carry through in my own streaming. All streams I do will be 18+ because I don't want to limit my artistic expression to SFW themes. And I also hate young people :p SO yes NSFW requests would be A-Okay too

So I don't have a real date for when I want to start. Again, the main criteria before I start is just finishing up all my old commissions. I'm also getting scarily close to 1000 watchers on FA so those two things may sync up and I can do a bit of a celebratory first stream??? I have pretty low expectations for viewers at first, but having a more personal way to interact with you all is pretty exciting.

IN conclusion, this is just sort of a PRE-Update for any of you interested. So you can keep an eye out for real updates in the next few months :p


I don't really know how the mechanics of picarto work? Like do people subscribe like YouTube?? IDK if so this is the account I will be using to stream when I start:

The description and title and everything is just sort of cobbled together. I don't care to fuss over it's refinement anyhow.
