Possible streaming plans…?
9 years ago
So hey, last weekend I had some fun joining in a multi-stream last weekend, so I was thinking I might try something like that again this weekend too :P
>>>>> https://picarto.tv/KreeTheBasilisk <<<<<
It's been the first time in actual years I've done an actual stream of a drawing (owing to Internet issues mostly. Yaaaaay Australia…). The next ones probably won't be another 12-hour stream, that was a bit long, mostly because I wanted to finish off that comic page. So it made that stream a bit of a unique one since I already had something pre-existing I was already working on for 90% of the stream.
So now that I don't have that hanging over me anymore, I'm wondering what I should do for the next one:
## Work on the next page live…? ##
The most obvious idea, but it would also be a totally untested change to the dynamic of the whole thing. Usually I spent a lot of alone time just experimenting, that might not work well in a live setting. It might get a little boring at times. I dunno, would people want that? Or would it be too spoiler-y on top of everything else anyway?
## Freeform stream doodles…? ##
The next most obvious one would be, just draw doodles or whatever comes up. Probably taking suggestions from the audience (or other hosts, if there's a multi-stream), although emphasis on suggestions and not requests. As much as I like drawing stuff for peeps, some things are too complex/draining/time-consuimg to do.
## Themed stuff…? ##
Similar to above, but seeing as how we're close to that ol' fancy American holiday you folks are so fond of, perhaps something themed…?
## Live commissions…? ##
I haven't had a good track record at doing these in the past. Or much of a track record at all… but who knows maybe if they're quick or themed or something…? Don't get your hopes up though.
## Sound…? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ##
Due to Wacom being huge butts and making brush strokes jitter like crazy on Sierra, I'm currently on a makeshift external USB drive with El Capitan installed. A side effect is that my iTunes library is now marooned in a Sierra-only format. I'm waaaay too lazy to backport music at the moment, so no sound plans right now. In a multi-stream there's usually plenty of other musical peeps anyway. In theory I could set up a mic… but… I'm shy… >.>
## Time…? ##
Whenever everyone else's start, or as soon as I get out of bed in the morning, whichever comes later. :V
I've also been wondering if I should attempt to do any weekday streams after work? But the trouble is I'm in the Australia/Brisbane timezone (AEST, +10 offset), so I'm not sure anyone would be around to watch at that hour? Between 6-11pm local time (8-13am UTC, 1am-5am PDT, 3-8am CDT, 4-9am EDT, etc…) isn't the most ideal time for international streamin'… :(
## Party game break…? ##
I've had a lot of fun in the past with Ultimate Chicken Horse ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/386940/ ), so perhaps it would be fun to have some sort of half-drawing, half-party-game stream…? :P
