Stream applications need to do better. I can’t stream if they’re willing to work with me and YouTube. I may have to strictly stream on Instagram or the Omlet Platform…I hate it. A lot. I want to stream on YouTube…I miss this community.

Stream Plan:

I’ll be drawing 3 random subscriber characters on a livestream this week on Thursday, June 15, at 7AM MST (Mountain Standard Time)!

To enter your characters, they will be submitted via form during the three hour stream which will be posted in the livestream description. I will only choose one character from each subscriber that wins on the randomized wheel, so be careful on which ones you submit. Additionally, keep in mind I’ll be doing only three individuals who attend the stream. The form will only be open during the stream, meaning submissions cannot occur before nor after the session ends. Be prepared to provide some photos or accurate descriptions of your characters appearance as they will be asked in the form.

Up until Thursday, you will see test streams where I try different livestream apps. I am tired of Omlet ruining my streams or, such as today, make them not happen. I will be doing art, gaming, and chats during the testing streams, so feel free to join as I truly miss streaming. It made me smile to chat with people, such as the live chat and phone calls, as it is encouraging and less lonely as I work on art.

I have a goal (as usual) to solidify a weekly streaming schedule starting September as my summers are chaotic. We shall see how it turns out, but I would love to get back into the YouTube community while providing more content to you and Instagram.

Thank you for understanding and I’m pumped to stream on Thursday! Whether you can stay for long or just to pop in and say hi, you are welcome in the chat. Stay safe, and I hope to talk with you all soon, including the witty banter and commentary.

I keep attempting to stream, but Omlet isn’t letting me. I’ll be shopping for a few minutes to find a new way to stream on YouTube…

Y’all have no idea how much I want to stream, but lack the time to do so. I would totally do one now since I have the time, but it’s 3:00am here and I don’t want to wake up the others around me who are currently sleeping. Maybe I’ll do one tomorrow after I come up with a few art concepts…


What kind of art should I stream if I do one in a couple of days?


(The winner from this will have a poll about the specifics of the stream, such as what character(s) will appear or focus, if I’ll be reaching out to other content creators to create art/stream with me, timing, etc.)

The goal was to stream today since I had the time.

Omlet decided to say no.

Any other streaming app suggestions?

I may yeet Omlet into the void at this rate…

Omlet is giving me problems. I’m going to let it reset and then return to streaming in an hour today.

Stay safe!

I hate the feeling of letting you guys down with the livestream Holiday edition, which is why I’ve been dragging my feet to cancel the one happening today.

I just wasn’t planning on being sick when I made that announcement concerning the two livestream parties with whiteboards, and now it’s been following me for the past 2 1/2 weeks. I got my voice back a couple of days ago (thank freaking goodness), but I’m still dealing with coughing fits. It’s not COVID (had it checked at the beginning of this week), but it’s hitting me hard regardless. I want to get my coughing more controlled before I stream again (as I doubt you guys want to hear me hacking up a lung in the background), so I ask for even more patience from you guys.


*Rant/Vent Below*

I’m tired of letting you guys down and using up what little patience you can spare, so you have every right to be mad at me. I keep making promises and not following through with them. I state I’ll do this or that and then cancel them the day of or right before the event is supposed to happen. Heck, it took my 6 months to finish up my contest prizes (which I haven’t been motivated to edit a video for to show them off here on the channel/show the speed paint).

I can’t stay up to date with the various art contests around, celebrate milestones on either mine or other people’s channels, celebrate birthdays or anniversaries, and I can’t even produce content besides livestreams for you guys.

I honestly feel like a failure.

I’m not there for you guys as much as I could. I don’t create amazing content that can please more people or make more people have better days. I lack motivation to do art or stream and when I do, something comes up in my personal life that prevents me from doing something on the channel. I feel like all I do is make excuses and leave disappointed faces in my wake.

Heck, sometimes I want to create other content than art, such as stream a game, but I don’t as I know that’s not what you guys came to my channel for. And with the many times you have been patient with me, I need to pay it back by creating content you guys like and want to see. I want to make you guys happy, especially since you guys give me so much support.

I want to please you guys.

But I feel like I’m letting you down more often than lifting you guys up lately.

I want to fix it, but I’m struggling to do so.

*End of Rant/Vent*



Well, I wish you guys a happy holiday and are able to enjoy the season! Maybe I’ll pull something together once I’m feeling better without coughing as much.

Being sick and coughing in between words suck.

Don’t be sick. Ever.

If you do, I’ll slap you upside the head with the chair from my dorm room (which is extremely uncomfortable).

And then send you some “get feeling better” messages and vibes your way.

Hello one and all!

Before I dive into this post, I would like to let you know I will probably have to post pone the whiteboard by one day as 1) I’m struggling to get the whiteboard to work properly and 2) I don’t currently have a voice (and most of you prefer my voice over text). I will update you tomorrow on that!

Moving on, I would like to announce that I am officially holding my first DTIYS (Do This In Your Style) event! I posted a poll on my Instagram story and you guys, whether you picked up on this or not, decided what I would do as a small holiday celebration event or gift, and the majority voted for this. Let’s get into it, shall we?

BASIC INFO:
- Deadline: January 20, 2022
- Rules: below basic info
- Prizes: below rules
- Tag: #scwinter2021dtiys

RULES
1. No tracing. It’s rude and isn’t fair play.

2. No being rude to others. I believe this community isn’t one to take part in these behaviors, but if I see any kind of bullying or rude comments flying around (whether in posts or DMs), not only will I disqualify you, but be disappointed in you as well.

3. Don’t say anything similar to the following on posts (whether your own or others):
- “My art sucks.”
- “You’re going to win for certainty!”
- “If I had known you were going to do it, I wouldn’t have entered.”
- “If you were to change __ and maybe __, then you would have a better chance of winning.”

4. Use the tag #scwinter2021dtiys when posting or @ me. That way I can see your entry!

5. Be creative! Add your OC into this, change up the shapes, etc, make it special and unique! The more unique, the more it’ll catch my attention.

- 1st Place: reference sheet or any of the prizes below

- 2nd Place: fully shaded full body character + background or sketched full body character + sketched headshot

- 3rd Place: fully shaded character headshot or sketched fully body character
