 Thanks for joining this stream instead. I realized I wasn't streaming on Twitch as well and I'm trying to make Twitch my goal, so it's like, what's the point of streaming? Yeah, you can like, do it. He will hear Chris in the background because he's playing D&D with his friends, our friends. And yeah, so apologies for that because he's annoying. I heard him talking to our friends and he was like, because I had my vaccine yesterday and my arm didn't hurt and the nurse said my arm would hurt. And then suddenly my arm really hurt later on in the evening. And Chris was just telling all our friends about how I was moaning about how it wasn't hurting. I was like, is it moaning? Root. Yes, you. How's the volume on everything? Please let me know. If it's too quiet or something, if I'm too quiet, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris. You're kind of shouting a lot. Can you talk a bit? Yeah, I know, but can you talk a bit quieter, is it? Can I speak quieter? You're shouting. Yeah, thank you. Everyone says no, so I'm gonna listen to the crowd. Yeah, but you don't need to shout. You can just talk normally. I can't talk, but I can't hear myself. Take the headphone off a little bit. Take them off a little bit. So you can hear yourself. Oh my gosh. My ex-wife's had a moment and YouTube crashed. No, it wasn't YouTube, it was me. I didn't stream on Twitch at the same time, so I had to restart the stream. Really annoying. I didn't say shut up. Chill, please. Sheesh. Anyway, I'm gonna be working on the Kickstarter stuff today, so I thought I'd just work on it with you guys, and let me know if the sound's all right, because I'm thinking about this as the banner and it's not finished, so I'm just gonna work on that a little bit more. Hello Emily, what a weird voice thing that I did. You're almost sore for a while, but no symptoms. Have you had the second jab yet, Nagea? Because apparently the second jab is really bad. Chris has had it and a couple of my family have had it, where they had it quite badly and they got the flu and stuff, which I'm not looking forward to, but I prefer that over COVID, so there we go. Can you say hi to Shams? Hi Shams. I thought that was like you asking, need to say hi to someone else and then I saw that your name is Shams as well. So I was like, oh. Yeah, how's everyone doing? Can you guys do me a favor? And if you are on Twitch, can you go watch me over on Twitch because I would like to get the average viewer rate of three people so I can get a path to affiliate and that would be really cool. I'm supposed to stream on like seven different days and then I can get what the path of affiliate. I think I've got the three people watching, so that's like ticked off and then I've got the amount of followers ticked off, but I just need eight hours and apparently I've only done three but I feel like I've done way more than that. And what else was it? Oh, and to stream on seven different days. So, yikes. Oh, you've had both of yours. Okay, cool, nice. Yeah, I guess because you work in the hospital with that would make sense that you would have it early. Hello, Frasier, how are you? So, yeah, I'm just working on this today. Probably won't be a super long stream, but I just wanted to say hi and I was thinking we're gonna be working on this anyway and I was thinking it's coming out quite cool, so it would be nice to stream it with you guys. Yeah, I'll see you in the bridge, yeah. Hail to the year. How's the music and the sound and everything because I've got a couple of times people saying that it's too quiet. Oh, thank you, Bubbles. Thanks for joining. Heck yeah. How's everybody's Sunday? How is it Sunday already? I feel like it was, I feel like I blinked in its Sunday. Oh, okay, there's a little fly here. So, I'm trying to get, I'm kind of trying to get the impression of both comics in this image, but it's more the invisible line. So, I'm gonna take some inspiration from panels I've already done. So, I wanna have this light here in these windows a little bit. And then, I wanna make the room here look like this room more. In case you're wondering why, oh, can you guys actually hear Chris because I wonder if you can. Because he's quite far away. He's playing D&D with our friends, and I feel like Sundays are probably not the best time to stream because I think they're gonna do it every Sunday from now on. So, it doesn't make sense to stream, does it? I read my first, I've started to read my first comics, and how's yours? Ah, so, what comic are you reading? Or red? I had a good weekend. I got my first vaccine installment, so I was super happy with that. I was like bouncing off the walls when I went to go get it, and I was like walking around the hospital like, thank you, thank you to everyone. You can kind of hear him, but not really why he's saying, okay, that's good. You could just stall, zone him out, that'd be great. A bit harsh. Yeah. Oh, just another camera on my head. I assumed he was having an in-depth conversation with the cats, yeah. Sundays are cat nights. No, the cats are like asleep, as usual. I think they sleep about 90% of their lives. So, how is everyone on this Sunday Eve? Well, it's evening for me. It's probably Sunday day for you? Is that correct? I've gotten the X-Men comics, they're quite good. Oh, nice. I'm not a huge fan of superhero comics, but then again, I haven't really given them a mass chance to be fair. This is the mini Smalls album on Epidemic Sounds, and I think we've listened to it every single time I've streamed, and I'm a bit addicted to it now. I think I know every song of my heart. So these are gonna be like trees to indicate sort of like this one, panels. So these are like the panels from the Regency one, and these are the ones from the 90s, and I wanna incorporate both somehow. I think I might put some like fake stars here as well. But then I don't wanna make it too confusing, or too like complicated to look at, so I just want like a quick snapshot of what maybe the comic might be about for the Kickstarter, so it's like readable instantly, rather than you looking at it and it's too much going on, if you know what I mean. I was thinking about having the title on here, but then I thought it would be nicer to just have an image and then the title underneath in the text box and stuff. Possibly, possibly. I'm not looking forward to building up the comic on Kickstarter because when you start a project on Kickstarter, you have to like fill in loads of different options, and I know it's gonna be a lot of hard work, so I mean, it's gonna be like fun, but yeah. We just joined, we're just working on like stuff for the comic, horror comic. I'm doing like a sort of banner for the Kickstarter, which will be the thing that you see on Kickstarter, like there, like this. Oh my God, I can't read my arms that way, never mind. And trying to come up with my own universe, but I only have two creatures for it and absolutely nothing else, hilarious. Been there. Just keep working on it, I guess. I'm reading a Winter's Promise at the moment and that has like amazing world building, just like has loads of different magical powers and like basically the Earth, I think it's the Earth, it might not be, has like split into different crusts in space, so like each bit is like a different bit floating in space, and then each like land has a different, like different rules in society and stuff, and the main character has to travel to like another one of those to be betrothed to somebody else and it's just like nonstop action, I'm reading it and I'm like thinking, okay, it's gonna get, you know you have slow moments in books, well this just doesn't, it keeps your interest really well, I'm really into it, so I'm like recommending it to anyone. It's translated from French and it's like a trilogy, so the third one's coming out soon, apparently, in the end of October or something, so hopefully by then I've read everything. I think there's four free books out now and there's a fourth one coming out, I'm not sure. I just found your channel today and I've been watching and I love your videos and work. Thank you Nicole, welcome. Thanks for watching, love to hear it. So if you're new here, you might not know that I'm working on comics or you might have seen that, you might have seen that video talking about it, so I don't know. Yeah, I've done a Geology of Comics and I'm gonna release them on Kickstarter to help print them and see if anyone's interested in reading them. So I'm just working on the banner for that now. If you guys have just joined, if you're mind watching me on Twitch, if you can, if you prefer Twitch or whatever, here's the link because I think the link in my description doesn't work for some reason, even though it's the exact same link. Actually, I'll just change that. But yeah, if you prefer to watch stream, that'll be really helpful, stream Twitch, that'll be really helpful. So I'm trying to get more views over there and get the path to affiliate. We have five people right now, no one's chatting, which isn't true because I didn't look at the multi-stream. Hey, Sotsara, how you doing? Hey, Messi. Are you, what? Are you these panels on a particular paper? Oh, sorry. Yeah, this one is just like printer paper. So it's like really cheap paper and I've used alcohol markers and then colored pencils on top. So the paper can actually withstand quite a lot, which is awesome because we love to see it. We love a cheap option that is working out. And then I'm also like, because it's such cheap paper, I'm not afraid to like, sorry, keep nudging the camera. I'm not afraid to like experiment a bit more. So it works out. Yeah, but this is basically the style of the comic. And I was thinking, because I did do, I did these paintings before on stream and I realized that they don't really look like, because I was thinking that these were gonna be the covers for the two comics, but I realized that they don't really reflect the style. So I think I'm just gonna leave these as maybe prints possibly if people like them enough. I kind of like this one more than this one. Hey, Liesbef. So I'm thinking of doing covers more in this style and I think that would be better because for when I did Emily's Burning, this was the cover for that. And it made more sense because it was like, that's the style. How you doing, Liesbef? Thanks for joining again. Hi, Portofan007. Thanks, Shams. Shams. Thanks, yeah. It's quite fun. I definitely like the style. You like the day one a lot, really. I like them. Whoa, Chris was playing D&D, by the way, in the background, so he was screaming. It's probably him dying in the game. Yeah, so that's it, really. I'm gonna do more covers like this and I prefer the style as well, but maybe those ones can be like print rewards or something or maybe like inlays of the comic. I'm not sure yet. I'm still thinking about what the rewards could be for the kickstart project. So I wanna do one that's like a bundle of the comic, the two comics, and then also Emily is burning if people want that, but then also just one where you can get just the two. I'm just trying to think, obviously stickers would be cool. I wanna do pins, but I think pins are so expensive on their own, so they're more like a project in itself kind of thing. Otherwise, it might be like too expensive to make them. Thank you. So I'm gonna listen to what I'm going to bed. I actually got the first shot just every day and I got a slight fever and feel really disorientated. Oh, really? I think, yeah, it affects people differently, like apparently the second one is worse, but not necessarily for everyone. And I'm not really looking forward to getting it, but yeah, I want it, obviously. Emily. Oh, I turned that over. Should I zoom in here or is that like a nice view for you guys? I'll zoom in a little bit so you can see a bit better. The lead there kind of reminds me of Marnie from Ghibli movie. Yeah, I guess so, like it's a similar vibe. Sorry to hear that, Liesbeth. Yeah, I think like, hopefully it won't be too bad for you, but it'd be better than getting COVID, right? So. I'm gonna do a little skull here and see if anyone notices. I need my sharpener. I spilled the sharpener all over the desk today. That's fun. Just did it again. I think I need to empty the sharpener. It gets really quite, like full quite easily. This is the best sharpener I've ever owned, but it gets full quite easily. I need to buy a new one. It's a little bit broken. Look how sharp it is. That's super sharp. It's spilling everywhere. Hello, J-Club. How's it going? I'll worry it over my mum because she has started being against vaccines, but I wish I could turn it into getting a vaccine because she has a really bad asthma. Oh, God, that's hard. Yep, yeah. I don't know what to say to that because I know people are against vaccines, but you've got to reason with her as much as you can because it's like, you know, like that's a super dangerous mentality, but I know a lot of people in Gibraltar kind of have that mentality as well. Even though most of the adult population is vaccinated, I know for sure that some people like refused it, and it's okay because I think most of us have vaccinated that it should work quite well, but let's talk about something else because I feel like we're going to bring each other down. I would love to hear you sing sometime. Oh, gosh, no. I'll probably zone out and sing by accident, but nope, ain't nobody want to hear that. Oh, no, but this is my favorite song with a playlist. Sorry, I never know. I really want to sing along to this song. What do you guys think of this image? And it feels quite strong. It's not finished, obviously, but I'm thinking that it will be a good introduction to the comic for Kickstarter. There you go. There you go, Alex. How are the cats? They're fine. Just sing if you feel like it. Okay. Yeah, this song is so catchy, but I feel like probably people are sick of it. Chris was like, you need to play different songs. So guys, let me know if you're sick of this playlist because we can change it. But I quite like it. I love the contrast of this painting. Thank you. That's good because a good contrasting image is good for retention, as in good for people seeing it quickly and looking at it. And we want people to look at this on Kickstarter and be like, hmm, I'm liking the look of that. And then just join the Kickstarter and buy the comic. And then we can print it. I feel like so, like, clever because sarcastically, I said that because I'm getting married in six weeks. Is it six weeks? No, it's less. It's more. Well, soon anyway. And then running Kickstarter at the same time, it's like, good job. But we're doing a really small wedding anyway because of COVID. So we're just having like close, we're just having family, really. And then everybody should be vaccinated as well by them who will be in the wedding party kind of thing. Thank you. Oh, thanks, Alex. The drawing is looking fine as heck. Thanks. That's good. That's good. Yeah, I feel like this is good for the imagery, the imagery, the comic style, a good match. I don't know what I'm saying. Hey, all YouTube is bad at identifying in time and fashion. Heck yeah. Come and watch it over on Twitch. Where all the cool people hang out. Where's my pen gone? Oh, this song though. It always annoys me a little bit. Should we listen to something else, actually? I think it's time. I think it's time, guys, that we mixed it up. It's only been, you know, like 10 playthroughs of this playlist. I'm just trying to find something that is like similar because it's super chill, isn't it? So that's something we want. Maybe this one? Oh, this is just two songs. Why are you going to make a playlist of just two songs? Like, who's that helping? You know what I'm saying? Ultimate remix is we don't want that. We want something like chill. Nope. Low fee. There you go. Maybe something like this. Twitch doesn't notify me. What? But it does on the phone, right? Yeah, so soon, the wedding, yes. It's really weird because we had to postpone it like a few times because of COVID. So now it's like, even though it's approaching, I'm still a little bit like, it's not going to happen. June 4th, if everyone wants to raise a glass. I'm really excited for the food, actually, because we got like a really nice caterer because it's just our family. So it's like, we could. Oh, could you let her? I still tried to drink Chris's drink and he's like, no, I'm like, let her do it. Just let her. She's a baby. She's licking herself now. She's wounded. I swear I put this white pen up. It's right here. It was hidden. Oh, yeah, yeah. I love reading your style of, sorry. I love your style of comics. Do you prefer reading books or comics? I liked both. I turned off Twitch Notives because they were so, they were so many. Well, yeah, I guess if you follow a lot of people. Only one channel notifies me on Twitch. Well, I guess you got here quite quickly though, messy, or did you like come from YouTube? Seven people on Twitch. Pretty sweet. Pretty awesome. Hello, Moonyart. I am just working on my comic stuff. So I kind of repeat myself a lot because I'm not sure who's joining or who knows what about this, but I'm doing a duology of a horror comic and I finished them and I want to put them up on Kickstarter to help fund printing them. Chris is shouting now. Not sure why. He's playing D&D with his friends and I asked him to be quiet. Here we go. Don't give up. Use your rage. Chris, we've asked him to be a little bit quieter, but I think he got heated in the moment there a little bit. I think they're fighting a monster. It's like, oh, chill stream guys and then Chris in the background. Kill them. He's pretty lost, yeah. He's pretty funny. Funny guy. Not raging, juicing at all. I'm joking. I'm not sure about this song. I don't like that being named, but no, I don't recognize this song though. But why can't we... Sorry, I can't imagine the camera. Why can't we find a playlist that is like mini-smalls as one? You know what I'm saying? Okay, I quite like this one. Did someone die, Chris? Did someone die? No one's died. Everyone's saying in the chat that you can't kill a monster in silence. Everyone's saying in the chat like, but he can't kill a monster in silence. Silence? Yeah, because you were like shouting and I was like, oh, I think they're killing a monster or something. And then everyone's like, you can't kill a monster in silence. And they're like, your fiance is hilarious. He's like, it's true I am hilarious. He's like, it's true I am hilarious. Do we like this song as well? Like, I feel like all the music is really samey for YouTubers' music on Epidemic Sounds. It's kind of this teeny like... But the mini-smalls one was like nice because it was like some vocals, different stuff. So it's kind of hard. If anyone knows any good playlists on Epidemic Sounds, which is the royalty-free music that I have a monthly subscription to then, let me know. Because I would prefer it. This one's okay. It's a bit too like... Chris was fighting a monster and I'm just chilling, yeah. I don't know, whatever, man. I don't know how much you can hear of Chris, but he's being very funny. He's also drawing on his Sinti at the moment, which is cool to see. I don't know how he's doing that because I would be like too distracted. I don't like this playlist. Oh no, guys. What are we gonna do? We need something. More chill. See, it's all that like similar... What's this? Love themes. Oh no, absolutely not. Come on. Sorry, guys, for the no music, but I want to find something as good as many small as one. But I can't. If he's playing with his friends, then let him be. Yeah. I mean, I haven't not let him be, I guess. It's just funny. Ding, ding, ding. This one's a bit generic. We'll listen to it. We'll give it a chance. Cracking me up. Listening to him. They did it. They killed the monster. This one is too crazy for us. Come up with my titles. I'm not totally sure. I just think about them a little bit. Yeah. I think for... Because the duology is called through Gritted Teeth, which matches both of the stories. So I think I'm going to go with that title for each of them, and then... I mean, for the duology, and then possibly say the titles in the Kickstarter like description of each comic. And I think that will work better because one of them is called The Invisible Life of Olivia Newbury. The Invisible Life. What am I saying? That's totally not the title. One of them is called The Slow Disappearance of Olivia Newbury. And the other one is called Wishing on a Star, but I think I'm going to change that one. I'm not sure about that one. But yeah, through Gritted Teeth work for both of them together for the duology title. So I'm going to go with that. Thanks, Joker Babes. Joker Babes is commenting on Twitch in case you guys are confused over on YouTube. I'm dual streaming. And if you prefer to watch over on Twitch, please go ahead and do me a favor because I would like more people watching on Twitch at the moment because I'm trying to build up Twitch a little bit. So if you like Twitch, please give me a follow. It would be super awesome of you. But only if you want to, obviously. Which color pencil is this? That minty green. This one. This is the Holbein Artist Color Pencil. I got this in Japan, but I think you can buy them online. It's the Holbein one. They're very similar to the Faber-Castell ones though. Like literally really similar. The way that they handle the Polychromos ones. So you can probably find like a similar color. You can't get it online. It's Saladon. Saladon is the color. What's my process of making comics? So write the story out like a basic story. And then write the script out. And then do the thumbnails. Then take the thumbnails and do the full pages. That's basically my process. I've got a lot of videos on my channel about the process of stuff if you watch though. I think I do anyway recently. I'm not sure. The Emily Is Burning Vlogs. I do go into like how I do stuff while I'm doing it. And I think with the Emily Is Burning comic, the first comic I did. This one. This is my janky copy that I only have one left. It kind of defined my process for me a lot. So that was it. Alex, I downloaded Teich for you. Especially, and I was like, Teich? What's that? And I realized you meant Twitch. So thank you very much. That's really nice of you. Thanks a lot. Super appreciate any support you guys can give me. It's so nice. Otherwise, I'd just be sitting here listening to Chris fight monsters by myself. How's the sound for you guys? Is it okay? I'm just worried that I'm too quiet. Hi, tunes. I like this playlist. It's kind of nice, isn't it? This is a different one. We're giving it a chance. So that's like when something visits her. Visits her. And I want to get that kind of vibe through the window. And then coming out onto the trees will be quite cool. So let's see if I can replicate it a lot. I make comic stuff sound so easy. It's not easy. Trust me. Just you just go enjoy the process. Like if you enjoy doing something, then it will get done, right? So that's the thing. And if you enjoy the process, then people will enjoy consuming what you create. Because if you enjoy what you're doing, then that's great. But if you're just like, oh, I'm just making this to make something and then that doesn't really work, does it? So it's not easy for sure. And I definitely have days where I'm like, I'm tired. I don't want to work on this stuff. But you know, I just put like a show on or something or stream or listen to something and just draw. And sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn't. No, it takes five. I think you shouldn't be so hard on yourself as well. Like, I think that's a problem with artists that are like, well, really hard on themselves. Yeah, this playlist is nice, isn't it? I like it. I've got some nerds. I don't like the great ones so much, but these ones, what are they? Strawberry. Mm-mm-mm. I mean, I'm just going to munchies away from the microphone. I have to show you guys Pesto because he's looking so cute right now. He's excused the mess. Can you see how? Marching indicates that it's quite, quite loud. So cute. I'll be like, we've got backup coming. Guys, better leave us alone. We're all dead. And then like the sound of the marching. Listening to crooks as well is quite funny. I love Pesto. There you go, guys. You had a little Pesto fix. Got a little Dina sticker on my keyboard. It kind of comes up though because the keyboard is not like a good surface for sticking. So I kind of regret putting that there, but it's lasted a while so hopefully it will stay stuck there for a little bit. She's a sleepy kitty. I don't know why Chris's jumper and stuff is on the floor. It's like a little bit messy, but yeah, whatever. I think it fell from his chair. Sorry, I'm just eating some nerd. I'm glad. That's it. I'm sorry. I know it's really annoying eating on stream. I can resist them. Yeah, but you're right. This color is really nice. It's really good for highlights because it just seems to go over everything as well. It's super opaque considering it's a colored pencil, which is very nice to have because it goes down easy. I like this playlist. It's nice. It doesn't quite compare to our number one playlist yet, but yeah, it's not bad. It's not bad. What happened here? One of these things that extends the pencil so you don't get like hand cramp. I get like aches. It's the best way to describe it. And if I had like, if I was doing that, it would really hurt my hands. So it's good to have something. I don't want to waste the pencil, so. How funny is it Chris in the background? I quite like it. Every now and again, just hearing the game. So I'm trying to think of a schedule to stream. And this Friday I had the most viewers, but then I kind of think that I just, it was more, it was more because it was like jelly paints. So I don't know if people wanted to see that more than comic stuff. Maybe they're tired of comic stuff. So I'm not sure yet. I'm still feeling out which day is the best for streaming. And yeah, I think Friday would be a bad idea anyway because I usually have a fondue night with my siblings. Don't give up, yeah. Don't give up. He seems to say that a lot, so I feel like he's in the back lines like, you fight them. Oops. Just brush that. Don't give up. It's so funny, isn't it? I love that. Yeah, he's like, you guys fight that monster. I'm just going to have a beer over here and just put you on. That's our fan theory right now. We're working on it. We need to, we actually do need to double check with him. Chris's character is called Lipton of the, what's your character's name? What's your character's name? What? What's your character's name? Kik. No, but the full name. Kik and his Lipton. His character's name is Kik and his Lipton. Quite funny. Looks funny. I should stop talking to him because I think he's trying to concentrate, but I am into it. Usually I'm not in the same room. I go to the bedroom when he's playing because I don't want to disturb him, but I wanted to stream so we're both disturbing each other. I'm sure I'm pretty annoying right now for them. Is it this I use? I don't think so. What's he playing? He's playing D&D. I think it's written by a friend of ours. She's written it and they're playing through Discord online. So every now and again we hear like, kill all that mob stuff. Something like that. Kind of funny. Funny guys. You can play online as well, something. Perfect combo, yeah. It's just a matter of finding a group for me and my boyfriend. Yeah, true. I think our friend Dani, she came up with doing it and she wrote all the script for it and stuff, so she's spurred everyone to do it kind of thing. They seem to be having a really good time. I didn't want to do it because I've been really busy with YouTube and stuff, so it's like a commitment to do D&D I guess, but I kind of get FOMO when I hear them playing. Seems fun. Especially like a reason to talk to UK friends, which would be nice. I'm tempted to learn how to DM. I'd go for it. I mean, if it's something you want to do, especially if you do it with your friends and stuff, they'd probably be nice if your first time doing it and stuff, right? Twitch chat is lively, that's right. You guys are missing out on the Twitch chat. We were chatting up a storm over here about... I forgot the word. It's like, what's it called again? D&D. Getting rowdy up in here. 10 people following, awesome. I know this song at all when I tried to sing along with it. I was like, what? What are you doing? Me? Yeah, it's you. What's your real name, by the way? 42 Hitch. Or should I just call you 42? Like I do messy. I'm like, your name's messy now. Not sure if I'm overdoing this now. Oh, wow. Let's just keep going. I'm trying to find my white pencil because it's really good for like, just toning down colours. It was so tiny, it was hiding in the jar. Any cat is also making a lot of noise running around like a maniac. That's cute. That's not really what I wanted. Oh my gosh. We're pushing it way too far. There you go. Okay, that should do. Scratched all the paint. Really good. You can call me Hitch. Oh yeah, I said your name was going to be Hitch, right? Or Anna. Anna's a nice name. Hitch is cute though. It reminds me of that movie. With Will Smith. Cracked me up that movie. Yeah, I'm really liking the way that this is looking. I want to make it darker around the edges. So you're really like... What do you guys think so far? Would you be attracted to this on Kickstarter if you saw it? Always the same crazy cat when I'm in bed. Yeah, I love you, Beth. My cat always has like a time when they're like, now I'm going to go crazy because you're lying down and I've got to sign me so when he starts meowing it's like... Yeah, I know Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 42. Meaning of life, universe and everything. I love the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Is there a reference to that though as well? I'm kind of confused. Because I don't remember the Hitch thing. I remember 42 though. Of course. Thank you. I think it's very eye-catching since it draws your eye to the mirror for the banner. Thank you. Yeah, that's cool. That's good. Good to know. I remember when I was little and it was like... 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything. And I was like... And I was really like trying to figure out what it meant. Still arm. He's putting yellow down here. Sorry, just laughing because Chris was like, you guys go ahead, I'm going to just check out the back. It's like exactly what we said. It's totally click on me and buy me. Oh, good. Good. That's what we want to hear. In a nice way. Not in a greedy, capitalistic way. Oh, Hitch Hiker babe, get it. Wow, it took my brain way too long to understand that. Hitch 42. Would Hitch 42 be your best friend though? That's the thing, if you found them. If anyone's confused what I'm talking about, I'm talking to Hitch on Twitch. Hitch on Twitch. Found that too funny. And yeah, she's saying that somebody else stole her username and I was thinking maybe that username, maybe that person would be like your best friend though because they have the same mindset as you. It's popping. Thank you. I feel right now that Twitch is actually more out of YouTube, which is surprising. Come on guys, just laughing over on YouTube. I was like, shut up, I'm chilling. I'm lurking, I don't want to type. They must be what they've done. Also, I feel like sometimes people take usernames and then they disappear and they don't actually want that username and it's like, why? And having the username, the average artist, that has taken up a lot so I should have just used my real name, which is Stephanie Seed. And I always think maybe I should change my name but then it's like, it's kind of my identity now on social medias, if that makes sense. So I'm scared to change it. So then people are like, who is this? I guess it's more personal though if I had my name. Hey, Louisa. I've been planting all day and I need rest. Yes. I understand. I have been doing nothing all day and I need not rest. If that makes sense. Which it probably does not but there we go. That's just me. Oh, you must sleep. No worries. Don't worry about it. You chill, man. I hope you had a good weekend even though you're working, Louisa. I hope it wasn't too stressful. I think I might be overworking this now so I'm just going to outline the window a little bit more carefully and then might be done. I kind of wanted to do that like inside-outside look so it's like, you're actually inside but there's trees and stuff so it's kind of more mythical than it looks. Does that make sense? Yeah, I think I need to refine the window a little bit more. I'm pretty pleased with it though so far. I'm glad that I decided to do something a little bit similar to what the actual comic is because I think I was going to do something like that painterly style that I did for the other potential covers and then I realised that it doesn't really make sense to advertise it like that and then be like, actually it looks like this because maybe people clicked it because they liked that style. You know, so... Thank you, Louisa. Bye, Moony. Thanks for dropping by. What's this? Ooh, people are chatting. Could you make a change if you announce it on YouTube and Twitch and Instagram or whatnot? Yeah, that's true. I could. I could, yeah. Effort though. Yeah, that's true. I could just... and as well because it's such like I think like the average artist is such a strange name and the only reason that I was called that is because of this comic I used to do. Where it was like an average... It was called The Average because it was kind of a play on words because it was like a slice of life comic and then I turned into doing YouTube so I was like, oh, I'll call it The Average Artist because that's like the same as my slice of life comic that I'm working on at the moment so it just made sense and then it went that way. I woke up today without a voice. Oh no. I miss out on doll payment. Oh well, I hope you got some good rest anyway. Hey Holly, how are you? Thank you. Hey Catherine, how's it going? I like your name. Yeah, I like it. You're not an average artist, you're a really cool one. Thanks but like I think it's like it's more like an average as in like I was trying to describe it but you know what I mean, like everyday life kind of thing, not I'm rubbish. Yeah, that's right Divi. Is that your name Divi? That doesn't sound right. But I don't like that book very much. Anymore? Hey Holly. Oh, I really said hey. I mean, I'm good. I'm glad that you're good. We feel what you mean, thanks Alex. Yeah, I don't know what I'm saying right now. It's like Sunday evenings I'm like tired but also not tired because I didn't really do much today. So I don't know what I'm on about. Yeah, bye Alex. Yeah, enjoy your rest. You've introduced me to gouache, now I love it. Awesome, I'm glad you like it. Yeah, I didn't, I had not tried gouache I think like a few years ago I hadn't tried it and then once I tried it I realised I really like it. Hello, Eamon. Thank you Alex, thanks for joining again. Super nice of you. I'm also wondering who I'm talking to. I'm multi streaming on Twitch and YouTube at the moment if you just joined so sometimes I'll be talking to ghost people and you won't understand but if you guys fancy following me on Twitch that would be super awesome. I give this spiel every like 10 minutes because I think new people joined but it'd be really cool if you could follow me on there or watch on there because I want to make Twitch a thing and start streaming more often on Twitch. So that's my spiel for now. I'll try to stop doing it, I know it's in a way but I want to let people know if they don't know. Would Red be too much? It would not. You know what, I think I'm going to have a little bit of a go back to Mini Smalls moment. Ooh, I completely killed the music. Just for like the last little bit of streaming that I'm doing but I don't think I'm going to stay around too much longer. I'm just going to finish up this drawing and then probably that be done with it because I don't want to do too much. I feel like I've already overworked it, but oh well. Oh, I didn't know you had a Twitch. Yeah, see? See? Now everyone knows. Now Twitch is getting rowdy. It just has that kind of feel to it. Yeah, exactly that's what I thought. I thought the name is quite approachable. Yeah, I hope so anyway. Thank you Holly. Thank you Kat for following me on Twitch. That's super awesome of you. Some people would prefer Twitch as well so it's good to know, right? I want to make it a thing. Trying to get the affiliate thing. Just need to stream for eight hours. I'm not actually sure how many hours I've done. I think it's six or three. I'm just going to check. Yeah, I've got 6.6 hours, whatever that means, out of eight. And I've got three days of different streaming so I need four more days and I guess this counts as one day so it's three more days after that. Yeah, and we've hit everything. We've hit the other things I need proving. Meow. I hate you bruh. It's a nice name. Hi Emily. You were different Emily from before, right? I hate you bruh. That's an approachable name guys. Oh, you're the same one. Oh, you're just saying greetings to hi bruh. Yeah, I was thinking like, I swear you're the same person that has already spoken. Sorry, I thought you were. Then I wasn't totally sure. Multidasking, yeah. Looks like Rapunzel, yeah, a little bit. How's it going? How was everyone doing? Have you just arrived? I am working on the Kickstarter banner image for the comics hoping that this will be it. It's looking a bit crazy at the moment. I think I preferred it when it wasn't so much stuff going on but I'm not sure. I do still like it. I think I've just been looking at it too much. You know when you're unsure of yourself. Hello doodle your noodles. Thank you. I'm glad everyone seems to be liking this one as well. That's a good sign. If everyone's like, this is cool. Then it shows we're on the right track. Right? Surely. Thank you Stark. I'll just get into that and enjoy along with you. Glory, thanks for joining. You're loved to see it. We need more bling I think. Does that work or does that look weird? I think it looks weird. Thank you guys for... Thank you Kate. Kat, sorry, not Kate. I misread your name then. Winner winner. Okay. I'm trying to think. What it means is those like panels that you have here in like Regency Homes, like here. I think that would like really bring it together. Let's do it. I think that helps. Because it looks more like it's inside then and then the trees are like a bit weird. What happened to your book? Basically I released it. If you guys don't know I did like a... I wrote a book called The Curse Princess and it was like a young adult fantasy novel and I had the other ones prepped but then I just got like some really harsh criticism that really put me off doing the rest. Like a load of people gave it like two... Two people gave it like two stars and I was quite hurt by it so... I don't know, it just put me off doing it a little bit. And I was like maybe they're right, you know, like maybe I could just stick to comics and not write stuff. Which is kind of sad. But yeah, it put me off a lot. I think like some people are just so really critical sometimes as well and it's like... I don't really get it. Anyway, some people have to be super harsh for no reason because it's self-published as well so I think it's different to like having like a proper editor and a publishing house behind you so... because you're doing like most things yourself. So I think it's completely different but I think everyone still kind of compares it to like a professionally published thing. So yeah, that's the story of that. It put me off. But I think I do still like writing a lot and I took on their criticism a lot as well to try and improve but I don't know if it was like, you know, when it's like legit criticism you can kind of tell or when it's just people kind of being kind of online trolls. I wasn't sure. Yeah, two stars is harsh, right? Yeah, yeah. And they were like, oh there's so many spelling mistakes and I think it's because I used UK English rather than American English so I think they didn't like that which is apparently a thing that people complain about because my friend, she writes books and publishes them, self-publishes them on Amazon and she basically lives off doing that and it's like really cool and she says that you used to get that criticism all the time and people would just like mark them two stars and stuff or one star because they would write stuff like colour with a U is correct in the UK but then in the US they don't like that but it's like, yeah. It's like you've got to be a little bit chill with indie published people because they're not going to have the same resources as like a publishing house so like they can't do all those translations and things like that. I think I might because it was a trilogy and I have finished them I might release them again but all together and maybe because there was one concern that people were talking about that my main character goes off with this guy who's a lot older and they thought that there was a romantic intent there and I was like no, not really so I think I need to change that up a bit that criticism I was like, that makes sense so, yeah. I don't know. I think it was a good like practice thing to do as well and learn from your mistakes kind of thing I don't get it English is English yeah I know but like people who read self-published books they probably expect it to be in their kind of style and she was like the harsh criticism I got was was the spelling which I know was fine because I re-read that book like a million times to make sure everything was right and also I did hire someone to like re-read it for me and check any errors and stuff so I know it was the US thing and they were just like oh if you don't care enough to spell check your if you don't care enough to spell check your book why should we care and I was like harsh and then from that moment I was like I'm gonna not do this because it really kind of broke my heart a little bit you know when you put some you put so much effort into something and then people are just like this is rubbish it's super hurt so yeah I'm not crying I just uh my voice was like so I put that on the back burner a little bit well that's stupid yeah I guess but you can't really argue a criticism can you because it's like you just looked like you're being sour because you know if somebody says something you just look even you fight it you look like you're just being like no my book's great so I can't really do anything about it like that's what my friend said as well she was like don't respond to negative reviews because like it's generally it's kind of a thing that happens all the time with self-published books because people are kind of really harsh on them and like I said they don't have the same help that like a proper professional book would be so I guess that's the downfall of it not the downfall but the drawback to it because you will be compared to like professionally published books but you also get the benefit of being like your own boss and publishing your own work without an editor going through and ripping it all up kind of thing so you know it's on you if you want to do it it's one time somebody gave Emily Carroll's book one star because they were pissed that it was black and white okay that's so stupid yeah people who say things like that have never poured their hearts into creating something that's so true like I feel like we are as a society kind of spoiled as well for like the content that we have because we are given so much for free like we have Netflix we have like so many stories available to us so many things and when somebody new comes along obviously when they first release a book or something maybe it's not necessarily going to be amazing but people like to tear you down a lot so I've definitely got a thicker skin now being on YouTube because you know people can be pretty mean on YouTube as well for no reason I just think like some people just like being like that so this is probably why they changed the spellings for all US release Harry Potter books yeah like it happens with every book really because it makes sense why would you read a book that for you has incorrect spellings because there's a lot of different spellings for English words to American English words so it does make sense but it's just my friends said they had to put like a what's the word um they had to put in front of the book like this is written in UK English so these spellings are correct like they had to put a disclaimer at the front of every book that they have just so people wouldn't give them low star reviews which is pretty harsh but yeah anyway it's just a silly silly thing that happened really at the time it really got to me because I remember like I was like this is it this is what I want to do and it was kind of my Joe March moment you know when she gets ripped to shreds for a book so I was like maybe this is what I need to hear but also like I guess the critiques aren't really coming from anyone that I highly respect it's just around a person on the internet so you never know like should I take this criticism to heart or should I be like like you know what I mean if it's someone you respect then yeah you should be like okay for sure or not that you shouldn't respect every critique because I feel like if people are taking the time to critique your work then they're doing you a favor in some way they're like taking time to help you but like there's a way to do it right I think that people are mean on YouTube for sure like 100% um some people are just mean to just just be mean um like the other day we were streaming I don't know if you guys were here but um there was some troll and they were just like your work sucks you look like a 5 year old could do better than you and blah blah blah whatever mate you go do your own artwork then and then we'll decide like you know what I mean like whatever some people like that you can just bat away because you know they're just doing it to be spiteful um but I know I know like it does take a toll on some people like um for instance I know some other YouTubers that I'm friends with they're really like streaming on YouTube anymore because they would always get like annoying people being trying to wind them up and stuff and it's just like you know I think that's why I want to stream on Twitch a little bit more is because I think it's a much nicer audio not that you guys aren't great but you know what I mean like you get the casual troll dropping in on YouTube and stuff and I haven't experienced that on Twitch yet well I guess time will tell but apparently it's less of a thing on Twitch and everyone thinks just because you're like on YouTube or whatever they can just talk to you however they want and you can take that but we're still like everyone's people so it's like I don't know it's pretty mean oh this went dark didn't it guys I make art for fun and I turn off the comments because I'm not making it to get criticism I make them to relax I have a few select few people who ask for feedback yeah exactly like I think unsolicited advice is always a bit annoying as well like if somebody doesn't ask you what you think of this then I sometimes think it's a bit rude to be like you should do this or you know and this way it's kind of I don't know it's a grey area it happens here but it's not as bad on Twitch yeah I think so yeah I think on YouTube there's just a lot of like it's that culture of like because I remember back in the day when YouTube first started it was so anonymous that everyone was just horrible so I think YouTube's never really managed to like shake off that that vibe like there's still a lot of people who just look on here to just put people down because I guess it makes them feel good or something I'm not sure I mod for hello Alice and we get rid of anyone trying to troll that's good yeah I don't get it though like it's just what's your life you know if you're just trolling people like go do something with your life mate you know what I mean anyway there is our little winch of the the day but yeah it happens it happens you just gotta you gotta get used to it because it's the there's so many advantages to being on social media but then also there's disadvantages such as that like you will no matter how good you are or anything you will get people just being mean oh hey Elvira is that your name hey star this is my first time on Twitch I made an account just to support you here and I love it already oh thank you yeah I think Twitch is really nice it takes a little time to get used to because it's got like a lot of different stuff like for instance I haven't got these things yet because I haven't been affiliated yet but you can get bits and emojis and things like that which make it a little bit more interactive with your audience and I don't know I think that's fun um yeah I like I really like Twitch I didn't understand it at first when I used to watch like people who went over here from YouTube I was like I don't get this I feel like a boomer on here but I've slowly gotten more used to it I think so that's good I hate this song this is the one dud of the playlist it's like what is happening how do I go to the playlist what is it going I'm like oh I hate this and I'm like stupid um there it is we're going to listen to my favourite song one more time yeah it might so fun I'm looking forward to being able to have them which I hope will happen soon because we'll get those hours in I'll probably stream tomorrow as well to like tomorrow or the day after to kind of try and get those those things and then I might work on some emotes so I'm not sure if I want to work on them or hire somebody because I know I've seen a few really like exceptional artists who make them so I might like commission them I'm not sure I'm not sure it would be it would be nice to do that it would be nice somebody said um I can't remember who it was sorry uh suggested making emotes with like pesto and stuff and I'm like okay I want I want affiliate for Twitch now right now so I can have those pesto emotes these little ones eyes has oh those are cute I like them who made those did she make them did she make them herself oh my gosh look at those cat ones I need cat ones of pesto that would be so cute oh bye Liesberth enjoy your sleep good night Alice made them apart from the cat oh that's cool I look for twitch emotes and whatsapp and get sound how do you look at them on whatsapp and hers are commissioned from jessa doodle on twitch jessa doodle okay I'll take her name down totally written wrong what's the thing I was think like I'm capable of making them but I want them because I don't really do digital arts so much so I don't know how nice it would be oh you want to use them yeah yeah because you have to like subscribe to people to use them right so is that right? yeah I think it is why am I singing to this song we know I don't like it I don't hate it snow jam like it's cold in California one that we love my voice is like getting a bit croaky from talking so much nearly sang the whole chorus then and it wasn't the time I don't really watch Hello Alice on twitch does she get like a lot of people watching her and stuff thanks tubs gets to use them yeah oh no so like if I got them and then nobody subbed to me then nobody would be able to use them and that would be really sad because I would love to see little pesto subs I know Casey Casey Golden she has really nice emotes that she's made herself um and then she has them like when people use them she has them like bouncing around the screen which is really cute I have to figure out how to do that cause that would be fun what I really like about streaming is that like I'm recognizing a lot of you now whereas like some you know a lot of people comment so I don't always recognize the people unless it's like the same people every time this is cool cause I'm like getting to know you guys and stuff so I'm really enjoying streaming and for YouTube is like the reason I first joined it was because I was working from home a lot and I liked having like a community online so I could chat to people and stuff like that so it makes sense that I would do more streaming cause that's what I when I joined YouTube and stuff so it's pretty fun so far also we would never have found this playlist if I wasn't streaming people would totally sub would they? I guess I've had good emotes I don't know I'm always self doubting so I'm like probably not I need to be I need to chill or just let it be it would be so fun to like just stream as a job wouldn't it some people do that right I don't mean that I'm planning to do that I just mean imagine having that job must be nice okay I think I'm going to call it a day on this because I might be overworking it now like Kat you say I wish I had the confidence to stream um sorry I got distracted by it if you emote they will come um I used to be like really nervous for streaming like I really didn't like it um but then I got kind of used to it uh yeah Bailey J is on a whole other level though to be fair she also streams games which I would love to do at some point but then I'm like would people really find that entertaining she streams every day and does a vlog every single day and then does art videos and then does her shop like she's on it I do have a full-time job though so I guess if I I guess if I treated this as my full-term job then it would be I would have the same output as her I mean not the same audience size although that would be the dream does that would be the dream I wish I could share my art but I'm not allowed to because I'm 13 oh yeah I mean you just need to wait a little bit when you're young it feels like it feels like stuff's going to take forever to get to you but it it will go fast I think doing what you I think doing what you enjoy Alistair streams art and chess chatting yeah exactly it's like just you know as long as you enjoy it that's my motto as well right all myself motto what I tell myself to do my voice is like croaking a little bit now do you hear that talking too much couldn't do this everyday guys my voice is croaking alright I think this needs more pink before I leave yeah I think I'm gonna call this done because I've been streaming for nearly two hours and I plan to not really stream that long but then it's been fun I'm really enjoying streaming these days so give me a follow on twitch if you so desire and that would be super helpful because I think once I get affiliated I'll only be streaming on twitch because that's like the rules at the moment I can stream on both at the same time because um I'm not affiliated yet so yeah that's it I'm gonna call this a day this is the final image hopefully I think I might add some more pinks to it to kind of balance out the colours a bit and uh yeah I think that looks quite cool I would click that I think hey watery star thank you for joining twitch thank you thanks everyone for watching I'll see you sometime this week because I plan to do another stream another couple of streams so follow me on twitch if you don't want to miss it that'll be really cool of you um thanks so much guys bye thanks for joining bye messy bye cat bye stark bye emily there's just more time to practice then you can post it'll be better yep yep yep bye everyone thank you thanks for joining
