Well, what a weekend that was! Bit of a ramble incoming so the TL; DR: Will stream Thursday to finish a painting to post on Friday. Computer repairs later in week.
Saturday's stream was fun and going well! Kimiko was looking great but her partner in the painting? Yeahh... craptastic. That one is gonna need some more time for me to figure out how to fix it - because 50% good, 50% bad ain't good enough. Sunday morning was, to all intents and purposes, a fiasco. Computer fans dying, hours of attempting to fix it (MASSIVE ...

Still at least another day of streaming to go to get this one up to full colour painting, but I think its coming along nicely so far! The difference between "close to complete" and "not really done much yet" areas are quite noticable at the moment lol
Stay safe, stay healthy and enjoy!

The billboard says "Strive" before artwork on Saturday, but we might play Granblue Fantasy Versus instead :D It plays great... so long as everybody lives on the same landmass, there are no more than 30 pigeons within 2 miles and Cthulhu dreams of sandwiches!
Got a fun Kimiko pic for Saturday and colouring the ambitious Aly and Valencia painting on Sunday!
The usual caveats apply (unfortunately) that I may have to dash off / call it early to look after Little Witcher. If all goes to plan, come join me and the gang this weekend at ...

After posting the poll last week, Jaded Entity sent me an idea that "this one is mine" would work for Millie and Evie. At the time we had a heated battle between two options, but the idea was too good not to do something with it - so I did some alt versions with the runner up pic!
I'll share the black and white paint for "This one is mine" featuring the poll winning option of Alynnya and Valencia the vampire on Friday. Given the complexity of the paint, it's gonna be a "double streamer" and will make up one of this weekend's stream day...

We've got two options on the poll ( Weekend paint poll - who dis?? ) with the same amount of votes (at time of writing - Wednesday morning) Because of that, I'm gonna leave that poll running until Saturday morning and I've sketched up an alternative to draw classic style with the second place option :)
Personally, I think I’m leaning more towards the early leader option of Kimiko and Sykes for the Sunday paint. Very happy to ...

I can't thank Ranger Squad enough for keeping me going on Sunday's stream. I was genuinely feeling pretty awful (tonsilitus really is no fun!) and around the 1 hour mark, I kinda wanted to pack it in so I could lay down for a few hours. However! Community legend, the main man Jaded Entity, kept me going with his great company and conversation. Special thanks to Menchi, Sarai, KatieD (who dropped in despite being away from home and in public!), CrazyLace and the man without peer, our Lore Master, We're All Mad Here. I'm really pleased with ho...

What starts with a crazy high temperature, followed by visit from paramedics, and concludes with an 8 and a half hour trip to the hospital?
My Friday evening, that’s what. Fortunately, we did learn that we’ve all got a crazy bad case of tonsillitis (of all things lol) And, as another positive, Little Witcher was so well behaved and polite. So very proud!
Sadly, I won’t be able to do the planned Saturday stream - I’ll be looking after the family (and pretending not to be tired) I’ll keep you updated on the plan for Sunda...

Sup gang! This weekend's streaming plans are modest and provisional, unfortunately.
CMP Update- Little Witcher's nursery had a confirmed case of covid among her group - and we've all been rather unwell this week. Still waiting on test results to see what's what. Mrs Wife and I are both double-jabbed so we're mostly just super fatigued and looking after LW. However, we're unsure about getting our usual weekend family reinforcements. Gotta play it by ear this weekend!
If all goes well, come join me and the ga...

Early birthday gift for community legend and writer, Wyland! Wyland has been hanging out with me on stream since the original broadcasts, way back in 2016 and was the first to jump up the tiers when I went full time as an artist! Wyland would want all the Rangers to have this in HD and so it shall be! (Speaking of which - Abe, brother, I need to know what you'd like for your birthday pic/paint!)
Getting better and more efficient with these stream paints! This one took about 7-8 hours in total (I didn't time it, but mig...

Sup gang,
apologies for the quiet week - it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster here! Little Witcher had to stay home from nursery on Thursday so I didn’t have the opportunity to finish up last weekend’s pics. All’s well, though!
I‘ll be streaming this weekend as usual. Saturday afternoon will be finishing last weekend‘s pictures and Sunday will be a painting day featuring… ah, I don’t wanna spoil the surprise ;)
Bonanza week of new art for y’all to enjoy next week!

While I was working on Millie gift-wrapped for Jaded Entity's birthday, stream chat conversation ideas were flowing! Alynnya serving cake and KatieD's Evie acting as hostess for the party. In classic CMP style, the "quick warm-up pic" turned into something a bit more elaborate... lol ;)
Stay safe, stay healthy and enjoy!

It was fantastic to see so many votes in the poll earlier this week about what to work on over this weekend's streams. I had to rebuild my desk (cheap ikea linnmon desktop was bowing and bending!) so the "Monster Magnet" super ambitious paint is a no-go. However! We're got a crazy fun pic featuring Alynnya, Kimiko and Helena to draw instead :) Saturday will be a Brimstone County pic with lots of potential for viewer input :)

Evie awaits... 8k set of 6 + 8k PDF
This was a fantastically fun way to spend Sunday's stream! KatieD's Evie is definitely one of my favourite characters to draw and now paint.
I think my painting skills are certainly improving, but if you're more of a fan of the classic CMP style, there's a fun one scheduled up for posting at the end of the week!
Stay safe, stay healthy and enjoy!

Lots of ideas, lots of characters... so its over to you, gang! I've got a couple more requested pics to do (this coming weekend - although it is my birthday next week so *might* spend Sunday's stream painting something from my "would be fun to do that" list)
Do the clicks, place the votes, all that good stuff :)
