 everybody just waiting for people to join okay if you just joined I am making stuff for the Kickstarter for the comics and yeah hello welcome just gonna do some chill stuff for the page of the Kickstarter I'm doing like these portraits of the characters hello and I don't know if you can see it too well yet I'm gonna start coloring it now these are like the rough portraits I'm gonna do and then they'll be like page breakers throughout the project this is what we worked on yesterday and it's finished it's gonna be a Kickstarter banner so excited we're getting on with it I'm gonna start coloring this so we can see what it's gonna be how are you guys doing do I have a patron yes but at the moment I'm taking a small break from it so if you join it will charge you for this month which is kind of annoying I can't change it so don't join if you want to yet cuz I'm taking a break this month to work on Kickstarter stuff yeah the link is in the description though if you want to just take a look at it but don't don't join cuz it will charge you and I'm not I'm taking a break this month so I don't need like charge you and then I think we'll zoom in a bit you guys can't really see doing so at the moment I'm working on these page dividers hello Louisa how are you finished we work today or I just finished work as well and today I could not be bothered I was just like Monday how's the sound and everything is it okay guys hello little butterfly how you doing if you guys would prefer to watch me on twitch I'm streaming everyone twitch I'm trying to get twitch affiliate so I will link that now because sometimes the link doesn't work in my description yeah I was just talking about patron because someone asked me in the YouTube chat I do have a patron but I'm taking a break from it this month and I did this thing where and I set it up that it charges you first and then you get the reward so for some reason even if you take a break it like charges you so don't join this month if you want to if you want to join wait until next month because I know I will be doing the rewards and stuff just taking a break so I can work a little bit more on the Kickstarter stuff and the comics because otherwise I won't have any time just making little portraits portraits portraits in this style hello chicken dough and mandoline in the style of this type of drawing to put on the Kickstarter because you know in the Kickstarter page you kind of have like this is the character from the other one you kind of have like page little page breakup so I want to have like their portraits in the Regency style I think it would be quite cool hey messy how are you paper looks kind of thin yeah this is printer paper and it works for me so kind of debatable for Marco not really because I've used it a lot so there you go I'll be having a great day see you soon okay thanks for dropping by yeah I don't know why you've got a sword I don't know what that means on Twitch you're a moderator did I do that if I did that I don't know how that works oh well you're a moderator now I think maybe because you came to a lot of streams does that because I definitely didn't do that I don't I haven't put any mods on Twitch I think yep weird unless I did accidentally somehow anybody know in case people are wondering who I'm talking to I've got a multi-stream going on with Twitch so I'm talking to ghost people on Twitch and ghost people on YouTube that you might not see the comments for basically we're wondering how somebody became a moderator over on Twitch because I'm pretty sure I didn't do that not no offense messy I'm sure you'd be a very nice moderator but haven't I don't think I've made anyone I must have done it by accident I don't know but how which is a mystery it sure is hey tartin tartin tartin how's it going I always used to think you need thick paper marker and not necessarily like it depends how they are the alcohol spread is because like it's it's alcohol base so the way that it spreads like obviously I wouldn't like to use a sip it spread quite far but it holds it quite well like this printer paper has taken a lot of abuse from me I've been using it a lot like for instance this is like a mixed media thing I did the other day and obviously it's quite shiny and crinkly but it took a lot of stuff so lots of pencils inks watercolour markers loads of different stuff so moderatorship yep you are now the king of the twitch king queen of the twitch channel somehow so I scanned this in just to see how it would look as a banner and it's looking pretty cool so I'm excited I'm super tired today guys couldn't sleep last night fun times so just a bit out of it today which is fun oh yeah this paper is like really thin as well so I have to use like a lot of paper underneath but the point that I'm doing is like I like to flip it over and use this like I do the pencils on this side do the sounds flip it over and then draw I don't need to invest in any paper this works perfectly fine for us I've got already got loads of good paper it's just easier to use this thank you Alex yeah let's see how these turn out I'm pretty grumpy today so good times good times so in taking a crepe I love when people just come on and tell you like how you should use stuff like you stuff how I want thanks this song is a bit weird it is possible to watch the streams later I'm leaving them up on YouTube basically I think on twitch I can't leave them up until I get affiliated I believe is the case and we are just two days of streaming away from doing that now because I've fulfilled all the other ones all the goals so soon we'll just be streaming on twitch so if you guys want to not miss out on live streams in the future then join me everyone twitch right now because then you won't miss out in the future I'll give you some of the solicit advice don't lick your markers yeah I mean I will I I feel like I knew that already but okay hey Jacob the brushes are quite soft but this one is being quite abused you can see it's like a green color I'll show you yeah they're like that's what I like about them because you can press here and get like more ink out which is kind of nice no don't worry Stockholm I'm just a grumpy this printer paper is quite good these brushes are super nice these pens I mean not brushes I really like them I'll come out alcohol markers are cool I really like them the only problem is that they're not like fast so you know but because I'm turning this into digital stuff when I scan it it should be fine so how's everyone doing this Monday evening I guess it could be morning for you afternoon but Monday is what's this creepy music kind of fitting gray outside today for me these ones don't smell so much or either that or I'm like used to the smell of them brush nibs no I don't like I much prefer brush markers like the soft ones this music's a bit weird I'm listening on epidemic sounds again I have actually Alex I've painted on shoes on my channel before I painted on some Air Force ones that I gave to my niece because it was a cool like project to do so that's on my YouTube channel if you fancy watching that hello Natalia hey I live in Gibraltar so it's on the coast of Spain but it's a British overseas territory and yeah it's mostly hot this time of year but for some reason it's just gone a bit gray outside and have some rain I think this later this week which will be nice because I like it when it rains and it doesn't rain that much that's the damn messy you live in Amsterdam it's awesome I love Amsterdam are you planning the cover for the comic yeah so I thought like some people know this already but I thought like these were gonna be the covers for the two comics but then I realized they're not really on brand if that makes sense like this is the kind of style of the comics so then to have that as the cover it's okay to have like a different style of a cover because I think like some people do do that for comics and stuff but I just wanted to have something more this style so I need to figure out what that will be and then maybe these are like prints or something for the project for the Kickstarter I mean and yeah that's my idea we've had snow, hail, sunshine, blue sky and rain today wow that sounds quite nice though for us it's just like sun constantly which is probably like sounds quite nice to you guys if you don't have sun but it's a bit boring when it's too hot and there's mosquitoes even at this time of year I feel like we just got rid of some mosquitoes and I was like mosquitoes are back when the comic is finished where could we buy it I am doing a kick starter so it's kind of like a pre-order thing so I'm hoping to get money to be able to print them and then be able to send them out to everyone who ordered them and I'm hoping to launch that actually next week so I'm working on all the stuff for like that project because I need to make this was the banner for that and then I'm making like little sub headers for where the story is gonna go because I need to write like little bits of the story on the Kickstarter page so people who look at that page know what it's about and stuff so that's kind of what I'm working on right now and probably will be for the next week or so and then I'll be working on getting the comic ready for print so like the files digital and stuff and then any typography I'm gonna do on the computer as well so I think that's what I'm going with yeah miss quick did I miss mosquitoes no no no no I said I don't want mosquitoes maybe I said I miss them did I say that I feel like my brain is being a bit weird no no no I do not like mosquitoes we have them we've had them in the last couple of nights and it's been like why it's April go away come back in like June if you have to need to get those the plug-ins hello Jacob I'm gonna say me hate them always tongue like hundred times this month whoa that's a lot you should get the plug-ins because that keeps them away basically plug-in some smelly stuff into your wall and you can't smell it and then yeah it keeps them away highly suggest guys give me a follow on twitch if you would like to not miss streams in the future cuz I'm thinking once they get affiliated I'll be moving over there so give me a follow if you can I'll be awesome of you too need some more skin toned things colors pens I feel like my throat is a bit sore from talking so much not used to talking so much on street since I started streaming okay so we're doing like rough blocking of colors on this side then I'll turn it over and work on it this side sorry for nudging the camera so that's what we're doing do I have any comic tips I mean there's such a broad spectrum of things I could say really so just watch me in to find out sorry that was rubbish I don't know I don't know what kind of tips are you looking for like maybe a few more specific I can help out how do you like the pro marker compared to Copic so these are like the brush marker ones they're a bit different the pro marker ones are ones with this snib and the brush marker ones have the brush nib so I've only got one pro marker but I guess you mean like these ones compared to Copic they're kind of the same really they're not much different just abha abha so how's everyone doing tonight today I keep I've got to stop saying tonight and say today because lots of people are not watching at night like I'm doing hello city bug how's it going I wish I'd made this like that shape but I've made it thinner just to be a pain for myself sniffles now one times I want to draw sorry if I'm sniffling that's a bit annoying Tani she could car sorry I completely butchered your name I feel like I shouldn't speak today just have a silent stream honey lemonade don't catch cold oh my gosh can you imagine the want to it's definitely not night here yet so what is Kickstarter so Kickstarter if you Google it it will show you what it is it's a website where people make projects and then you can back the projects for rewards so it's kind of like yeah it's kind of like a pre-order of something and you're helping backing the person to be able to create the thing and then sometimes there's like stretch goals depending like say if you ask for a certain amount of money and then you got like a hundred pounds more or whatever then they can make stretch goals and I was thinking like stretch goals for mine would be really cool to have like spot UV where it's like you know it's like shiny on certain area and I was thinking if I have like a mirror like this on the front cover we really cool to have like the mirror shiny I was getting a bit excited but then it's like I can only do that if I hit stretch goals and I'm not sure if I would I'm just gonna get a tissue because I'm snickering one sec stop this how do you edit down your comics to be shorter my stories away too long yeah that's something I like struggled with a lot before I think I went through like a year of doing some traditional like short comics for like a daily slice of live comic so I had to think in like four panels kind of thing every single day and I think that really helped me to be more strict with what I include in the story so like there's more of a punchline I think that really helped me to develop creating something shorter and then I did Emily is burning this comic which is my first short horror comic and it I think you just have to be really strict and have like an ending in mind and right towards the ending and just try to be strict with it because even when I'm like oh I want to do his story and I'm gonna do a short story I always add loads of stuff to it as well so I know your pain hello nugget night hello bye I can't read today well yeah is the Kickstarter up already no I'm working on it today this week I mean and I'm hoping to have it up and running by the end of the week I just have to confirm some stuff with Kickstarter before I can start like identity stuff so I'm in the process of like building it online and I'm hoping to launch it possibly Thursday or Friday it depends I probably think in Friday because I took some time off work to complete it I took Thursday and Friday off so I'm thinking probably Friday evening and then it runs for a month and then afterwards we'll see like if it gets fully funded and stuff I hope so really nervous actually even though I've done this before I feel like I don't know I think I might I think it will be okay but I'm still nervous that you won't get funded which is like I don't know I'm not sure how much to hurt because I know how much they cost and I'm hoping to aim for like maybe a hundred people ordering it which happened last time with Emily is burning so if I aim for the same amount for people then I think it might be fine I also do I also want to do prints and sticker packs and stuff like that for like rewards extra rewards so I just need to work on those I get I can start running the Kickstarter because basically it takes a month to it takes a month for the Kickstarter to process and then once it's done you have to wait a while for the printing and everything to be done so I have time to like finish everything but I'm trying to get everything for the Kickstarter to finish now if that makes sense maybe two pink but are you a full-time illustrator no I am a graphic designer full-time I wish I was a full-time illustrator I actually much prefer doing this stuff to graphic design to be honest don't tell my work so I do appreciate having a paycheck but really you can open up apps was how the trip twitch going on I don't know that actually I think for YouTube it's like no must pay attention and then it's like shuts down basically I'm using these Artex pens because these ones are actually running out a bit now because I've used them so much they're quite nice they're like a cheap alternative but I prefer like I said rush nibs to these ones I got these for free because Artex sent them to me so can't really complain they're good sound stressful what what sounds stressful multitasking or this song continues to still like it I think YouTube app on your mobile you can't open other apps but I think twitch let's see I'm not sure if that's what you meant there we go I have so many tabs open now I can't see where the music there it is someone always be the owner you guys are just joined I'm just working on stuff for the Kickstarter this is gonna be like a page divider it's like portraits of the two characters from the two different comics yeah if you prefer to watch me on twitch that would be awesome because I'm gonna start streaming on there only when hopefully I get made affiliate or get affiliated with twitch because you're not allowed to stream on both when you're affiliated so I don't want to get in trouble and that will happen soon because this I've only got two days left of streaming on twitch to get affiliated so today is one of those days so tomorrow maybe I'll stream and then we can get affiliated it will be very nice I'll watch you in both thank you yeah exciting I'm going to tweet that I'm streaming okay so anybody wants to see why am I working on it the minute I'm working on stuff for the Kickstarter yeah so on the Kickstarter there's like page dividers and stuff that you should put in between explaining what the comic is what the story is and yeah so I'm just doing like portraits of the characters to put on the page watching your stream at work very good totally missed the beat there our two characters like distantly related to each other um no I don't think so it's nothing like that it's just that they're similar styles and hey everybody if you've just joined I'm working on stuff for the Kickstarter if you fancy watching me on twitch please do so because soon we're gonna be streaming over there only because once I get affiliated I can't stream on both against the rules so if you fancy not missing future streams then go join over there link the link in the chat again sorry if I keep repeating myself it's probably annoying for some of you but I just want to make it clear I would love to be able to stream properly look at this it's not right actually share that yes thanks for dropping by when I'm creating a comic I think of the idea first and then I'll do like the writing of the comic and then thumbnails and then I'll go on to like preliminary design of like the characters and the backgrounds and stuff it's up to you though you could get an idea from just doing the character design first like it's there's no real set rules for anyone's process because it's like if it works for you then go for it kind of thing it's not like anyone's gonna be like that's not the way to do it when you finish like a comic that you're proud of you know the music has stopped one second I'm gonna zoom out a bit now sorry if I didn't lead you seasick what should we listen to now let's listen to something else thank you arts with Sourosh so bad at neighbors today I'm like share a rush that's probably not right forgive me if I got it completely wrong hey first time I've actually caught your live stream that's awesome welcome Ari Marshmallow nice name maybe that's too far up how can you guys actually see what I'm doing sorry just want to keep this in view so you guys can see what it's gonna be looking like this sort of style even though one comic is set in the 90s and one is set in like a Regency era it's kind of fun to like for the actual project of them together mix the two like timelines for instance I'm doing like a Regency style image here well Regency style frame and then in the frame is kind of like a 90s girl so it's quite fun welcome to the YouTube family arts with Sourosh thank you for subscribing that was a weird thank you for subscribing not sure where it came from send me a message like oh welcome thank you I'm gonna stop I'm just gonna stop today guys trying to say your names so stop doing that cuz I feel like it's not worked out for me today my brain is like no you didn't sleep last night very well so no I'm not gonna help you try and figure out how to say these YouTube names yeah the music is very relaxing it's chilling me out too especially that like crackling sound automatically charge my school share just message him and say I didn't know that it was gonna automatically charge me and they should refund you because I've had that a lot of times with me when I didn't realize that was automated and you just message their customer service and they should be able to refund you because usually they're quite lenient with that stuff especially if you say like I'm not gonna use it for this month like I've had that a couple of times with subscription services that like just automatically charge you so just message him really just explain your situation cuz they cut like you know they're a big company so they they don't want people to be like this is this is what happened to me you know they want want to be fair yeah so just message him it should be okay don't worry especially if you say like you've automatically charged me and I didn't know and if you complain they should help you out I hate when that happens though you don't realize that you've subscribed to something or you've started a free trial and they just sort of manically be like they don't remind you they're just like yeah taking money now try it out if you've message them and they haven't responded what I like to do is I go on Twitter and I message them directly on Twitter because they have like different customer service reps like working social medias I think so they probably will get back to you quite quickly if you message them on there as well and just say like I didn't know that I was gonna be charged for this and I think it's really unfair like just stick up for yourself basically and they might be lenient good luck I know super sucks you had to pay a gym membership for a year even though you didn't wow I'll be like mm-hmm why are both faces on screen what why both faces on screen are sad well this one oh well they're horror comics so I guess not very nice things are gonna happen to the characters to be honest with you naturally think about that maybe I should do them like happy but make some sense for them to be a little bit worried looking especially when trying to like convey what the story is about I guess because I guess both of them sort of have things in their life which they wish they could change I think that's a very I try to say I think that's something that kind of ties them together thanks for joining they didn't get a good review I think I would just I don't know for stuff like that I I used to be like quite shy and be like oh it must be my fault but then once I realized that it is kind of isn't isn't your fault like they should remind you of stuff like that like hey reminder that we're gonna charge you upfront for this for a year you know is a lot of money so it's kind of on them so I'd be like messaging them like you need to pay me back right now I mean you can argue like yeah I should have kept an eye on something or like but still I think you have every right to to to stick up for yourself basically and these big companies you know they're not losing any money they've got millions so you know just through pencil across the floor hello comedians actors and all like I was calling you all comedians actors and all hi Kimmy I just dropped the pencil again how was that possible picked it up instantly dropped it I was gonna say sorry budget camera if you want to watch me on twitch cuz I keep mentioning it again then please do cuz I want to make twitch a thing and if you like twitch then maybe you don't know that have a twitch huh how about that yeah could be um so that's what I'm doing if you fancy follow me that that's the end of it I'm not gonna do that again I think we're gonna say it again people are like why you keep saying it yeah quite clumsy I'm used to it though this dress looks weird on her now it is a little bit too big I think that song was relaxing very nice on me so this song is the one that sounds like a jibbly one have I got any OCs in trying to come up with some and I have art block all these two characters at the moment they're the two characters of my horror story horror comics this is the 90s one and this is the regency one I feel like her hair looks a bit like she's a bit bald just trying to fill it in a bit or it is hurting a little bit wow better not be sick swear I swear I got a new multi-liner today cool I mean that's my hair so thin I look bald sometimes yes same so I'm using currently um what's it called the ordinary have you heard of that uh brand they have like hair stuff it's like a hair leave-in mask it's pretty good it like inspires fine hair to like grow more baby hairs so you have thicker hair if you haven't slept well that can affect health yes that's probably what it is ray I will take melatonin tonight I think micron pens yeah pretty expensive I guess so you like get what you pay for sometimes without supplies so like they'll probably last longer yeah my throat is like what are you doing why are you speaking oh what would be nice is to have like a water background for her water what's it called the light bounces on the water not reflections unless it is is it because that would be quite nice let's do something like that if we can yep reflections yeah yeah yeah they're making hair products now um pretty nice I really like the ordinary because it's super affordable and it's quite a good brand I think since I started using their skincare um my skin has gotten like so much clearer so I'm always a fan of them especially because they're like affordable I think it's so like original to have a company with affordable skincare it's just like I really liked the sunday Riley ones um but they're so expensive so it's like like not worth it even though they're really good um they'll last you like a month but it's like 60 quid for a bottle like that no no no no too expensive no no no no no no no this means like so sleepy making ready and all that's kind of cool doesn't it with the water stuff let's see hello Fenris nice yeah give them a go hitch I like their um serums and the retinol is helpful for me because I'm getting old and uh sunscreen because 90% of your aging comes from the sun did you know that I didn't know that and uh I now I tell all my sisters I'm like wear your sunscreen it's pretty nice 90% hello oh I really said hello to you Fenris how are you doing I'm good thanks hello harsh nice name yeah so it's like a night sky thing going on in her portrait and a sort of watery thing going on in her portrait it's cool I'm quite liking it did the music stop I believe it did all right I think it's time for my favorite playlist again the mini smalls one everyone is like please let me know if you guys are sick of this playlist but I really like it my fruit is sore I realize it is because I'm kind of singing and it's like not enjoying water putting down my fruit thanks guys glad you like watching the stream I don't know if you guys can hear Chris snoring I think you're wondering what that noise is okay thanks for dropping by it's on the sofa napping so funny oh it's funny that you guys can hear that I thought you wouldn't be able to but I was like maybe they can and they're like what is that noise I think these are kind of cool um if you imagine them smaller on a Kickstarter page then the story like a title and then like some words about the story I think um I'm just gonna do like a shadow I think and then when it's on the white on the Kickstarter thing it'll be quite cool blending in with the music lol I think I want to do a shadow I can always edit this out if it looks silly it's gotten louder I think yeah I think the shadow looks a bit weird let's try it out yeah I don't think it needs a shadow I'll just rub that out on photoshop when I come to edit these so this is kind of the final ones I think they look quite cool quite quirky might work on the frames a little bit more but I'm gonna end the stream there because it's been an hour and a half and I'm hungry and uh tomorrow we might stream again or I might stream on Wednesday and then I might be able to get the Twitch affiliate because I need one more day after this day to become one which is awesome and we can look at getting emotes and subscriptions and stuff which is exciting um so yeah if you guys want to follow me over on Twitch if you're watching on YouTube sorry that I keep repeating it but I feel like lots of people drop in and out so they might not know then please do and uh yeah that's it that's the final look and I think they match this so when you see it on the page it's gonna look quite cool I think I'm gonna do more banners for like the story and extras and rewards so I need to like do little images for that but yeah that's it and thanks for watching guys and I will see you next time whenever that may be either tomorrow or sometime this week anyway thanks a lot for watching it was great hanging out with you guys
