 this webcam is looking a bit. Am I too quiet? What's happening? Let me know. I always have to ask about the sound. How's everyone doing? One person watching. Hello, welcome. Anybody watching on Twitch? That's the thing. If you guys didn't mind, if you can watch me on Twitch, that would be super helpful because I'm trying to get the path to affiliate. So I need an average of three people watching over on Twitch, like even if you just have it in the background and put it on mute, that would still work. So if you could help me out, that would be super cool of you guys. I'm just trying to get like an affiliate and then I can start streaming on Twitch a bit more and like get emotes and stuff and somebody suggested to do emotes of like Pesto and the cats and I thought that would be really fun. So this is the cover possibly for one of the comics and this is what I was working on last night. I'm just going to stream for a little bit because I'm on my lunch break from work so I thought I would just stream to try and get like my numbers up for Twitch like and as well because the affiliate thing is like you have to stream on seven different days so I thought I would do is just try to get that done. So yeah I'm going to be working on this, this might be the banner for the Kickstarter. I'm not sure, not sure. Good morning Seatybug, thank you for checking me out on Twitch, it's really kind of you. And yeah I'm just going to be finishing this up or trying to finish this up. I only have an hour lunch break so probably won't finish it today in this hour but if I do that would be cool. But let's see. Trying to go in with pencils now. I'm not sure about this one. This is like a cheaper pencil than these favour, these favour Castel. Yeah so like this is a cheap one so you can feel like it's not as soft but the colour is very similar. How's everyone doing today? And what time is it for you? Because I feel like this is probably going to be in the middle of the night for a lot of people. For a lot of people, my audience I guess I mean because at the moment we've only got six views and that's kind of super low for me because usually I get about 30 so kind of strange a bit like most people are asleep. But hopefully they can catch us next time. Thanks guys for joining the stream on Twitch, that's really helpful. Super awesome of you guys, thanks a lot. Yeah trying to get that affiliate. I'm not really sure what it means to be an affiliate but apparently I get emotes and I want that. I want that. I need to like customise the page a bit more as well. It takes energy and time. But I think I'll look into that a bit further soon. So I'm just trying to make this like as colourful as this one really and as like stylised as this because obviously this is a bit weird having the clouds there with the earth but you know trying to make it look a little bit similar to that. Hello strawberry sugar. I'm so sorry I have no idea how to say your name. It's 7 a.m eastern shore time in America. Oh okay yeah that's quite early isn't it? It's noon for me watching for a while before I have to go to work. Yeah I'm only streaming for a little bit as well because I'm on my lunch break. I'm working from home today so it was quite easy to go from the desk over there to this desk and just stream for a little bit. So I'm just doing like finishing details on this drawing that we worked on last night. I'm at school so I have to keep the sound off but I'll watch. Messy did you actually get some sleep? I love how you're like I'm at school but I will watch this. Don't get in trouble but thank you for your support. So like I said if anybody can watch me on Twitch I'll be really helpful even if you watch it on YouTube and just stream it in the background. Super helpful if you can. I'm sorry I keep going on about it because I think new people are joining so I want to say it again. I want that mini smalls album again. You know me guys. It's a German word for cleaner. Can I just call you vacuum cleaner then? I had the word cut off so I just saw cleaner. I'm gonna call you vacuum then. What do you think? Is that insulting or? Still trying to figure out the lighting here because it does look very light but that would be better. I realized I was talking too messy for ages but you've got the sound off so you can't hear what I'm saying. Doesn't make any sense. I'm like oh yeah messy let's do the sound off. Now let me speak to you for like 10 minutes. Thanks for joining guys. A few new people. I think this is like the weirdest time that I've streamed before because like it's my lunch break so I decided to have a stream just to help bolster that affiliate path to affiliates for Twitch. Citybug if you could ask messy if she got any sleep, if they got any sleep that would be great because last night um they kept coming back to the stream being like I'm still awake and then they kept saying goodbye like I'm going to sleep now and then kept coming back and like I'm still up and I'm awake still. How's everyone doing today? Thank you Citybug. I guess like maybe she can't um respond either. Wonder how many people are watching on Twitch then? Five people. It's getting rowdy. Hey Lizbeth how are you? Thanks for joining again. It's really cool to see like the like I was going to see similar faces but that doesn't make any sense. The same people coming back like that's cool and like actually knowing you guys. I'm really enjoying streaming recently except last night when we had the troll. I was like lol okay whatever. I'm new here. I love your art so much. Thank you Sloth. Did I get some sleep after last night? Um I think I slept about no I didn't really, not really. I tried to sleep. I took some melatonin to help me sleep but um I think I just because I napped so I was like awake um then I had to get up early this morning and I'm just a bit like but I had a coffee so that's good. I'm trying not to nap today. We'll see how that works out. Beautiful clouds, lovely sky. Thank you Evie. I'm actually catching stream live stream. Yes it's a different time so I'm thinking um some people who can't catch it might catch it. I'm just streaming for through my lunch break basically so I'm not gonna stream for very long but just let's see how it goes. I'm trying to get that affiliate so if you guys can watch me on Twitch that'll be super helpful. Copics are not like fast I believe um but I'm creating artwork to turn it to digital because it's going to be like for prints and stuff so it's not like I'm gonna sell the originals. Um I didn't actually know that Copics weren't like fast like a couple years ago and I'm like oh yeah that makes sense. I think they still do last like a long time. Coffee is good I'm gonna grab my coffee I'm gonna left it over there. Not sure if I finished it. My manager's asking for something from me and I was like um I want my lunch break because I don't. Usually I just find it for him but because I'm streaming I couldn't really I'm like oh my lunch break sorry. What was I looking for? Yellow. Coffee. Hi Sma. Sma Moth. I like your name. I am just streaming on my lunch break y'all so this is just going to be a quick stream but maybe some people can catch it that haven't caught my streams before which is kind of cool. I'm trying to find the pen that was I used for this. I'm trying to think if it was actually a pen or if it was the white and then I went over it. Pretty sure it was a pen. Oh I think it was this. If it's not then it's not but let's see. That is very orange. I'm an artist who's all about life fastness and do not does not do the digital. I don't even care if art supplies are bad as long as their life fastness is good. Yeah that's the thing you must have been you must have gone to a good school because no one ever taught me about life fastness and I have a masters in an art topic so it's like what? Which is quite funny. I think for me it's not like it's not like I'm creating like fine art pieces though. I'm making stuff that I will turn into a comic so as long as it's good for now it's good if that makes sense. How's everyone doing? Are you guys working on stuff today? Are you in school, work etc? I'm assuming everyone who isn't asleep is probably at work or school so it's probably a bad time to stream which I can tell because we haven't really got that many people watching today. I'm gonna change this. If anyone feels like watching me on Twitch I'm gonna say it again because I'm trying to push the Twitch thing sorry if you've heard my spiel already but if you can watch me on Twitch that would be really helpful for me because I'm trying to reach affiliate and then I can get emojis and I can get a pesto emoji hopefully. You may have answered this already but do you have an idea what time the comic will come out? So I'm hoping to get the Kickstarter up and running in maybe a week or so and then it takes a month for the Kickstarter to run so by the time it's done it should be ready like for when the Kickstarter finishes so I should have well no because I need to get the money to print them so probably the Kickstarter will be in a month and then it will be sent out to you guys once I get them printed and ready basically so a while but it's all like a work in progress and also I want to do reprints of Emily is burning hopefully and somehow make that part of the video the video what I'm saying the Kickstarter bye messy thanks for chatting in oh you can't hear me city bug oh you're leaving okay bye city bug thank you for your help thanks for joining I'm a self-taught artist and I and all the things I research myself didn't go to art school oh wow so you just knew about that stuff I never really like thought about it I think I'm I'm just dumb though so that's probably why I remember somebody asking me like is that lightfast and I was like what's lightfast what does that mean I guess I'm self-taught in the sense of like what I'm doing now because I went to school to study animation so I kind of know about that a little bit but I don't know about like fine art stuff well I guess it's common sense but yeah anyway I know about it now it's all good I can't read arabic so maybe I'll use translate for your messages I think it's arabic anyway sorry for being super rude I'm just building up different colors basically because I think it looks cool to have kind of a galaxy sky you know there's galaxy scenes where it's like all different colors and textures and stuff so I thought that would be nice I need to add characters somehow to this and I'm not even sure if this is going to be the banner because I think there's not a lot I think for the banner um for Kickstarter it should be a little bit more explanatory of what it is like it should show the story a little bit I'm not sure how to do that I'm trying to think I should probably do some more like thumbnails about it to help figure it out but that doesn't really make a fun stream so I'll probably do that in my own time animals my media and choices watercolors I have done a couple of commissions nice who's my favorite character creator from any of my comics um good question I'm not sure like I did a graphic novel for my my master's degree and I really like the characters in that because they were like more defined because I think for my short horror comics they're kind of like not as developed as that character because it was like such a long story and I really liked her her name was Natalie instead of Natalie and um she is like it was like a sci-fi um graphic novel and she was like this historian but she's because she's like her father hates her um she's been like made to work in these backlog of like murder mysteries so like files were missing or corrupted about different murders in the past like on earth so she would have to go back in time and figure out who the murderer was and then like document that just to have it on file so it was like a pretty pointless job but it was like that was her job and then her brother gets murdered so she has to kind of figure out what happened to him because she's sort of a detective in that sense so that she was like probably one of my favorite characters because she's a bit of like a badass and uh yeah and she kind of solves what's going on and then also like some people she gets involved in like the with these con men and trying to figure out like how to con her sister who is like betrayed her and stuff so she thinks the sister murdered the brother so it's all like a confusing story but I think if you read it you would understand but yeah it's like a sci-fi slash oceans 11 slash dr who kind of vibe yeah so she is probably our favorite character her name is based off um the killer the you know the killers the song um there's go go dance the song and he says natalie in that instead of natalie and I just like that so I went with it and I thought like it would make sense because it's she's in the future so maybe the name has evolved a little bit to be natalie instead of natalie and I like choraline caroline choraline but I never um knew about that until after I remember my lecturer at the time he was like oh that name's confusing um I don't think you should use that it just sounds too much like natalie and I was like that's the point it's supposed to sound like natalie but it's supposed to be like an evolution he was like you should change it I never did and I don't think he liked me very much why did you start making comics since there are like a million other mediums what made you choose comics as a medium of choice um lots of things like I like storytelling a lot and I have written books and stuff and I like art so it made sense to combine those two things and try and like make comics and I just like I like it because I like storytelling and I'm like oh that's basically it the reason and also like I think I consume a lot of comics so because I enjoy reading them it inspired me to try and make them you saw the killers in 2019 it's so lucky I really want to see them I've kind of gotten over them a bit but when I was like um a teenager I think I was like obsessed with the killers but I would still love to see them because I think like I still like them a lot obviously thanks to everyone joining especially on twitch super helpful I still gotta do like eight hours of streaming on twitch to be considered before they fill it and I thought I was like I definitely have that because I thought I was streaming on twitch a lot but I guess I haven't really been because I've only got like four hours so far so I need to do four more hours and seven different days of the week which I think is pretty silly because it's like most people tend to like to stream on one particular day so I don't really get that one I think that's a bit unfair but yeah I might be talking really fast after my coffee the clouds look beautiful thank you glad you liked it still not sure whether this is going to be anything to do with the project the camera settings a bit more because I feel like it looks a bit bright can I configure if that looks better I think my internet is like no I'm not making this look good not for you I'm not sure what else to do on this one I think I'm overworking it a little bit now so seeing as we've only got like half an hour left or so of my lunch break before I just instead of starting a new piece I could talk about like the comics I've done before if you guys are interested so that's the final piece let's just put this like here so you can see it and then uh so this was like my graphic novel and uh I made this when I was 22 23 so a few years ago and um obviously I don't like the cover very much anymore but I'm pretty proud of it for what it is at the time um for my family of friends and so we start off and uh my main character is this man in Egypt ancient Egypt and she's trying to figure out how someone was murdered and then she's obviously like okay this woman did it and she comes out and she's like okay I'm awake in this uh thing and basically she's like tells off her technician for like not getting her out earlier from the vision so this was like this the comic that I did that is quite long and I did this for my masters and there's bits of it that I'm like that looks terrible now but at the time I was really proud of it I'm still proud of it but it's just like I'm glad that I've improved and also I did this all like with inks and then I scanned it in I colored it on I colored it digitally and I really liked the way that it turned out like some pages are really cool still some of them are like we should have worked on that a bit more yeah like here's her sister arriving she's like your brother's dad and she's kind of like not with the family and the family are all famous did Steph predict AC Origins I don't even know what that is what's it what's AC Origins I should look it up but yeah and then her sister her brother dies so she's trying to get to the funeral but she doesn't have any money and yeah it's kind of cool and then her friend takes her to the funeral offers to take her and then they're all obsessed with the dead brother because it's fake like this famous pilot it's quite convoluted story but I think if you watch it read it it would make sense rather than me just trying to explain it and then it there's a big twist in the middle where the friend is actually a con artist trying to con her family for money because they're rich and famous and then he like puts her under a spell and it changes the style because she's in the um the machine that she goes back in the past so she changes the style every time that that happens within the story which I really like playing with and uh yeah it was fun oh the assassin's creed okay yeah that makes sense and then I did this all like tracing paper uh for some reason I decided that that was the thing for me to do and uh then she comes out and she's in like this guy's fancy house do you mind it was really weird Chris and then we've got more characters and then it continues yeah and then the style changes again at the end which I liked because it turns out that um the reason her family hate her is because a clone of hers ended up killing their mother and um they all think like she's connected to it even though she's not it's a really confusing story with lots of twists but reading it at a normal pace would make sense I hope anyway this is the end and she ends up with the the friend and that's quite a nice story I quite like that and I would like to revisit these characters like one day but I feel like it's done for now but yeah it was fun um obviously my style has completely changed and this is like my last copy of Emily is burning and uh this one is probably gonna be I've run out of them so I'm probably gonna reprint them with these ones and make that like a bundle um on the Kickstarter and obviously this is like a different style again but you can see it's kind of similar to this where I had the characters and the colors and stuff like I had this white line around the characters for some reason so then I made the characters here all white because I thought that looked cool in this new version in my new ones I have them colored in yeah I really like this comic I'm really proud of it still but I hope that I have gotten better in storytelling and in style as I've gone through it like as I've uh developed as an artist so yeah I think this one I'm still really proud of it and I'm really happy with the way it turned out I think the fact that I just did it helped me improve a lot so I'm really glad that I've managed to do two more comics so I feel like I really improved again so as long as I keep going I will always improve hopefully trying to find a page to show you now so like this is the new comic this is the regency one and this is the style all done with alcohol markers and pencils and uh yeah I think I think the style is looking awesome and especially when it will be shrunk shrunk shrunk down to this smallest format it will look really cool I hope so anyway yeah I'm really proud of these comics and I hope you guys like them shrink but yeah I think I'm gonna stop streaming now because I'm gonna have some lunch but thanks for dropping by on this super short stream thanks for following me and stuff on twitch if that's possible for you guys because really want to get to that emoji level but yeah thanks for dropping by I should go have some lunch and then get back to work but thank you for coming and I hope you liked my little show of uh all this stuff and yeah I think like this is definitely an improvement on my first comic which was this so I'm really proud of it thank you guys for watching and I will see you another time when I love streaming again
