Late schedule, oop! I took some extra down time last weekend as I finally had a few days where there were no pressing medical emergencies. I'm taking one more week of no planned streams, though I'll be doing some random ones for the heck of it.

Next week should see me back on track to a more normal schedule. I'm looking forward to it!

Save the date! This Saturday, May 28th from 2-6pm ET I will be joining a team of artists and hosts to raise funds for my good friend Jonas on the Tamberlane twitch channel! As for many of us, the last year has not been kind. Jonas has been there for me when I've been down on my luck, and now it's time for me to return that favor as much as I'm able.

The goal amount is $1300 during the stream, with a stretch goal of $2500. We will be accepting donations during the stream of course, but the main event is SKETCH COMMISSIONS. Come get a sketch from one of our team of artists, featuring the talents of Caytlin Vilbrandt, Grey White, Jonas, Miffix, Scott Derg, and of course, me!

Finished streaming! It was lovely to catch up with you all again ❤️

It's finally happening! Woah!

The next "thank you" from the fundraiser for my cat's surgery is now live. I'm playing Resident Evil 2, the remake, for the very first time! I'm a fan of the RE series, but I know almost nothing about this game. Also all the lights in my room will be off. I'm scared.

Game stream! Originally had some Mana Khemia planned, but I'm more in the mood for a chill and chat kind of game, so I'm switching to Potion Craft. Still on theme for alchemy, though! Come hang out while I squish herbs around.

Schedule update is postponed for a bit. The people I'm house/dog sitting for had their flight delayed by a day (the plane hit a bird 😱) so I'm still away from my digital art and desktop computer until tomorrow morning.

Suddenly stream! I don't have any art for my new schedule update, so I wanted to take the opportunity to practice some Copic techniques for some upcoming traditional media commissions. Gotta stay sharp!

No mic today, just chilling with a variety of music for a few hours. Come watch some real hands move around on a camera for a while, I guess! I'm drawing my otter girl, Alex.

This week has gotten away from me a bit. Partly due to a small health issue, and partly do to my own lapse in organization. I apologize for the frustrations I may have caused, I'll continue to try my best and work hard!

Clients I am actively working with this week:
Riloh
Jonas
Sean
Minako
Faerie Alex

(I'm not 100% sure I can stream today though, as Picarto is giving me timeout errors and bad gateway requests. Fingers crossed!)

Streaming! A little 2 hour stream while I work on a sketch page for Riloh. I'll be leaving mic on so I don't have to break my flow to type, so make sure your sound is on if you want to chit chat!
