Hiya, folks!

Streams have gone way better than I'd expected, and I'm very happy for that! People have fun, chat and ogle to their heart's content. Huzzah!

There are a few things that need finishing up, though, so I'm taking a week off. I'm also using this time to think of how my streams tend to go, and working some little guidelines into that.

Guidelines:

1. Once we agree on a date and time, please have a list of links and references ready AT LEAST a day before the stream.

The earlier I see the art and concept, the better I'll be able to work with it. I've had people come up with notes and ideas during the stream, and while I can work with that, it wastes the time you guys and gals paid for. And that's terrible. :<

2. Sketch amounts are proportional to character/idea complexity.

I may be a quickdraw, but if your character has three rings on one side, a hammer for a hand and anime hair that would make Cloud Strife ask what stylist you go to, that's going to take a little more time than usual! If you want the complex stuff, make it a priority for the whole stream, or trim it down to three/four ideas an hour.

3. Please, PLEASE don't link through Photobucket.

Granted, I found this out the hard way and only recently was I reminded. Photobucket eats my CPU memory like a Nekotyke eats candy, and it makes my framerate go to hell. That's not fun for anyone watching OR drawing! If possible, please use DA's Stash, Furaffinity, or Imgur. You can also place images right in a Word document-I think.

I think that should cover it-and honestly, aside from these nitpicks, you folks have been more than awesome!

Hourlies will resume after April 9th, with $cheap streams to resume shortly afterward.

Thanks, everyone, and enjoy your week!
