Wanted to do this ever since I started streaming... and because right now streaming is all that I am capable of on a regular basis due to my depression, and I have a commission to finish... I thought I can trick my brain by doing an Art Stream. It worked, LOL Check out the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1581837433

Disclaimer, and I say that during the stream a couple of times too, coz viewers were asking: I am self-taught. I went to art school, yes, but they focused on traditional stuff. The only thing in PS we did was photo manipulation, which I guess helped me discover my precious path tool, that I have been using and abusing ever since I switched from pixelart to this...without a graphics tablet. Only had a mouse, so the path tool to make a straight line was god sent. Even with a tablet now, I still rely on paths a lot, as you will see. Old habits die hard, and also why should I change a system that works for me, right? I hardly looked at tutorials for anything. Maybe one on how to add brushes, but that's about it. I just got a program (it hasn't always been PS/Sai) and started trying stuff out and see “what sticks”. So I am aware that there are probably a thousand things I could do differently to be more efficient or have better results... But there's that German stubbornness and my laziness that makes me go "never change a running system" again. I might have to look up how to make a nice magic effect though, that had me struggling near the end of the stream. :(

Even though I play more games than I do art on my twitch, I would still appreciate the follow, by the way <3

Since I have had quite the number of people asking me for MH/EAH commissions, I finally reached out to my artist friends and with their help sorted my prices. So yes, I do commissions <3

Headshot

Your design: 10 $ My design: 15 $

Hair/hairstyle featured in its entirety.

Bust

Your design: 10 $

My design: 15 $

Bust up.

Halfbody

Your design: 20 $

My design: 25 $

Waist up.

Fullbody

Your design: 30 $

My design: 35 $

Your design means you provide a detailed, visual reference of your finished character art. If your reference provides less than you are asking for (say, you have a headshot but want a fullbody) you might end up on the high-end price (or somewhere in the middle of both).

My design means I design your character from scratch based on your vision/input. You can provide me with visual references (attire(s), hairstyle(s), ...) or just give me a detailed description of what you envision. Little more expensive because of the bigger creative process on my end and your ability to ask for changes if you aren't satisfied with my draft(s).

I currently don't do point commissions.

Payment via Paypal,

You pay half up-front.

Due to other responsibilities, I will limit this to four (4) slots and see how I'm doing, before taking on more.

Hey there!

On the 31st of November I live-witnessed my discord account sending spam messages to all my contacts. I was trying to work against it, by deleting them, but they were sent quicker than I could keep up. And as a result of that, naturally a Discord algorithm disabled my account eventually for Spam, wich is against their TOS.

I reached out to Discord support and explained them what happened, but they didn't seem to have actually read my ticket and just told me I violated their TOS and will not have my account reinstated. So I responded again with compiled evidence of what the message was and how I reached out to everyone I know to prevent them from harm by that spam message. I also went back to twitch and checked VODs of Streamers I were watching when it happened and when I told them so. I recorded these segments with my Streamlabs and uploaded the videos to YouTube, so that I could just send a link, as I was sure the vids themselves might be too big to just attach. It was at that moment that I noticed, that my YouTube's actually affected too. Over the past 3 to 5 days someone was uploading spam videos to my account. I was using my YouTube only to view content, the videos that were uploaded by me were all unlisted as they were meant for friends only, not for everyone. So naturally I didn't check there at all. YouTube and Discord also had different passwords, so I was simply not expecting YouTube to be affected too. I've immediately changed my YouTube password, activated two-factor authentication and mass-deleted all these videos and I thought at least for YouTube it was sorted out. I checked, and the uploading stopped, so I thought I was good. A couple of hours later, though, my YouTube got disabled for breaking TOS, too.

So now I am in contact with both YouTube and Discord about the same issue and neither of them seem to listen - or to be more precisely - read properly what I am writing. YouTube forwarded me to a form with a lot of required arrays that I do not know the answer to, and I cannot send the form with the information missing. I can also not send the form by just typing in whatever, as it checks for proper formatting. And responding to the mail they send me the form with is a dead end too.

As I did not use my YouTube for uploading content, I am not too sad about that one being gone. Discord however is a different story, as I am the sole Admin of some of the servers I created so I don't think I can just reclaim these servers by simply making a new account, as there is noone with the rights to upgrade me. Which means I will most likely have to recreate these servers, losing the community that already joined. Furthermore, upon trying to create a new Discord account anyway, just to get back to work, I stumbled upon another issue with the phone verification. I am not entirely sure, but my phone might still be registered on my disabled account, maybe, and that is why it is invalid. It is the only number that I have though, and I want to set it up properly and securely this time, so I don't want to use a throwaway number from the Internet. So I guess I have to sit this one out until Discord Support Team finds time to actually take care of it proper...or completely deletes the old account, which I heard happens after 14 days.

So yeah. I am not reachable on Discord at the moment. Which sucks. A lot of shit runs through there: My Wikis, Information and Schedules for online Games and Uni even, my own and other people's twitch channels, my Klei Ambassador stuff and much more. Like, I feel my entire means of communication is just cut off now and there's nothing I can do about it but wait.
