I've been wanting to start a thread for my stuff and my fancy schmancy livestream thing. And so here it is.

the channel's at livestream.com/coneyislandartinstitute

I'll post updates, new drawings, and schedule events on occasion. I also still am thinking about hosting useful video resources on the stream as well. It's definitely a hobby thing. But one that I've been enjoying quite a bit recently.

I've penciled in a live drawing session for tonight (Tues, Sept 1st) at 8:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. I'm not entirely sure what I'll be drawing, but I'm pretty content with chilling, chatting (text only), and doodling for a small audience.

It was actually incredibly easy to start one. Pretty much go to any page on Livestream and click Broadcast Now. Have a name for your stream in mind, put it in, and create the channel. From then on, it's a couple step by step things and inputting the information and graphics that you want for your stream.

For the easiest broadcasting, I'd recommend taking the minute to download and install the Procaster. You can't configure your channel from it, but you can broadcast directly whats on your desktop from it. If you have a webcam, you can use the browser based studio to select your webcam as a source. Or you can use it for picture in picture like this guy at livestream.com/moatdd does for his tutorials.

If you want to get your site into the public search, you go through the process of having it verified. As long as you're not uploading copyrighted tv shows, you should have no problem getting verified. And then complete strangers can find you via searching your tags.

Some important things to note, if you're using the Studio while broadcasting make sure to turn off the sound coming from the Studio monitor. This is a really stupid easy mistake to make, and it creates a loud infinite feedback loop that's terrible on the ears.

The maximum amount of time for any single "recorded" session is 5 hours, but a stream can be live for however long you're broadcasting. They've limited you to 10 gigs of space on the free servers, but it looks like I can squeeze 30 hours of pretty decent quality video in that easily.

Oh, and make sure to make use of the Ticker and the Overlay options available in your Studio. That's pretty much where you can manage most of your stream, including banning visitors and managing your library. From there you can set the stream to autopilot and play anything playlist in your library constantly or create your on-demand list.

So after about a decade of picking it up, putting it back down on store shelves when I couldn't afford it, a few sleepless nights here and there when I'd read about Dreams, getting to them out of order, piecing them back in order, and reading about the series, sharing the books I had, talking about how good they were, and even getting a chance to see Gaiman in person... I finally picked up The Wake and finished reading The Sandman.

Anycase. I'm ready for another Livedraw tonight. Lets say 9:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. Maybe I'll finish that drawing I was working on last time. Again, come on by if you feel like it.

Thanks for coming by again, ya'll. Hope you ain't bored by this one just yet. I'm spotting all kinds of inconsistencies in terms of perspective and scale. Kinda the problem without building a proper foundation when drawing. But I suppose it's either gonna be putting this to rest sometime soon, or getting it fixed up and nicer than it needs to be for just sketching around.

I'll post again when my next draw's gonna be. And it seems from some comments I get, that I should advertise live draws more loudly. Or maybe even do a live draw request session for regular /co/

You know how I may have mentioned during a livedraw, that it would be nice if I gave better publicity for my livedraws... well... I didn't do that today. Surprisingly, some peeps were still able to stop by and watch! The recording will be up for replay if you wanna kill 5 hours seeing someone else draw. The first hour and the last hour are probably the most interesting, the middle chunk is lots of fussy detail and line work.

>>25061
Why yes. I have a number of stories I am working on, and the pics you pointed out are part of a story on the list. But I've been coming back to it with great interest recently. I never really focused much on making her sexy. But then... maybe that's why you can't buy this book in stores just yet. (I've had a few meetings, and they've gone well but maybe "sexiness" woulda put it over the top. That and I also sucked ass a couple years ago.)

The other story might be better suited to being classified as High Adventure. This one is, for all its guises as monster hunting, is I hope a rather somber and quiet story without glory or victory.

My soul is lost to the dark. I bare myself with sword and steel unto the abyss. In there lies the goal. Though the ghosts infesting these harrowed halls would aid as much as vex me, naught but arrogance or capriciousness could deter me from success. No kind god wrought these walls, or filled them with such devilry. It were the crafts of madness and malice that only monsters would call it home. I will claim their Demon's Souls, and I shall defeat all evils. And then after all the bloody labors end, my life shall become my own once more.

Kickass. There are some things I would change though.

"I bare myself with sword and steel" is repetitive. Isn't the sword made of steel? And being equipped contradicts the bareness. Also, maybe "In there lies" should be "Therein lies." It's more medieval. There are some other things, but it's still badass.

Been a busy week, couldn't do much for the comic and only got around to a couple sketches. For the 24 hour comic thing, I'm going to clean out my livestream's memory a bit by condensing some of the longer and better sessions into speed draws. I really would like to get to a full 24 hours eventually with that comic. Someday.

Anycase, I finally came back to fix this drawing up a bit with some of the help the folks at /ic/ gave. It could probably still stand much more work, but I better call it done soon or I'll never be satisfied.

>>26145
I'll admit, I felt the repetition and the alliteration was worth the redundancy. (mySelf, Sword, Steel) I played around with other words for armor to no avail. Yet only now I realize, "Shield" would have been just fine. I'll have to remember "Therein" for next time. Thanks!

And I get ya about editing, I've spent days on simple passages only to come back weeks later still parring it down. Even when getting grandiose and big, a simpler concise statement may be more pronounced than any number of fancy adjectives.

I always wonder about older Dash.

I mean, as a speedster, he should be pretty lithe, all tight muscles, like a gymnast or a dancer. Most sprinters aren't really built for continual running, and a speedster's speed is power based, not physical, so muscles wouldn't really be needed as much.

But then you look at his dad and you think, shit, he's got to have at least some meat on his bones.

Apologies if I drop in rarely recently. Been rather busy. Doing... stuff.

Recently though, I'm lamenting the loss of my photoshop brushes. I updated to Windows 7 just a few days ago. After crashing twice earlier this week, loosing lots of work, I'm glad for the fresh OS. But somehow, when I was backing up and saving all my photoshop presets and brushes, Photoshop only saved ONE brush and one gradient and seemingly none of my swatches. It's absolutely soul crushing right now, I was just getting to a set of tools that I really liked. It's going to be tricky to see if I can recover them all via desperate means but I'll do what I have to do.

Hey, no worries. I took it as a joke, as it probably was one. And it's all right in the end. As sad as I was to loose my brushes for a while, with a lot of luck I found I had backed up my old downloads folder and in them were a lot of the templates for the brushes. I still am missing a bunch, but it's not going to be so bad. I just spent the afternoon and evening putting it all together. Heck, it's pretty much back to normal now. Except apparently my computer was 64 bit compatible this whole time, so things are running better than ever. (the 4 gigs of ram hiding inside it were going to waste under 32 bit Vista)

Also, I'd go with a Mac the day they announce an affordable tablet PC. Otherwise, Windows 7 is so far better than fine. (With the bizzare exception that random photos and images I pulled out of backup are now mysteriously upside down in the file explorer.)

Been having fun now and then with the folks at /tg/ and some gaming streams.

They ask for strange things at /tg/, and sometimes its as if they're talking another language. Full of secrets and odd worlds.

Man, I haven't been to /tg/ in a long time. Went there back when I was into MtG. What exactly is this, anyway? Or rather, who?
