Spit-balling Twitch Ideas.
4 years ago
I managed to get in a few Twitch streams this week. Hell near the end of today's stream, I even got a bot that posted a link in the chat "to help me grow my channel analytics." Had to give them the boot. Honestly, it was pretty fun, and not nearly as intimidating as I thought it would be. I guess all those years of awkwardly talking to myself is finally starting to be useful. But, my channel looks pretty barren. It's literally just a schedule and a latest follower panel. I figured I throw out a few ideas on the visual direction I was thinking of taking my channel, and see what people thought of those ideas.
Firstly, I'm planning on having a channel mascot. Essentially, I got the term "The Ultrajesters" from an alien race generator back around the 2009/2010 timeframe. So, I figured I'd take an Invader Zim or GWAR type of route. An alien that came to earth mostly to observe humans see if it's worth it to work with us or kill us(still a bit fuzzy on the why.) Of course being lazy they just decide to go with whatever disguise looked cool, instead of using one that actually looked like us. So, the inevitable internal furry debate of which animal to choose begins. I was thinking tiger, because they look cool, or gorilla because they look badass, and are close enough to humans, right? Honestly I'm leaning more towards gorilla. Of course to drive home an "Ultrajester" type of aesthetic, maybe having them wear some sort of Harlequin suit and cap would be in order. Maybe even have them be able to remove their face as if it was a mask, and have there be nothing but an empty void beneath. As for the theme of the banner, panel headers and scenes, I was thinking of going with a circus or carnival that feels 'off and wrong.' Like you're not quite sure why, but something about the angles and colors of certain things feel off-putting and unnerving. As for subscriber icons, maybe simple jester caps. Of course I would probably go with uwu, owo, pog, lul and couple other emotes of our new Ultrajester friend.
That's all I really have for now. I'm sure there's more I was thinking of, but this will do for now. What are your thoughts? Do you think these are good ideas for a twitch channel? Is there anything you would change, and why? Is there anything that would need more clarity? Let me know. I really am planning sending out commissions soon, and would like some feedback on whether or not these ideas are even cohesive enough to work.
Edit: As a quirky side thought, diapers could possibly be incorporated to the character idea. Maybe as a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of things. "You know I thought these were a part of some sort of induction to the species type of thing. I always see the new members of your society wear them, so I thought as a fledgling member of the group I would wear them as a sign of solidarity. At first, at least. Now that I realized that it's like wearing a pillow for this form, I can't see myself going without one." Or, something along those lines anyways.
