As of this post, all art sent! Thanks for a great start to the final stream week of the year! We're in official T- countdown for the holiday. My last stream of the year will be Friday 12/21!  I might do an extended stream for that day as well. Thanks for the drawing requests, and the support!

But they're coming. After the New Year work will begin on Volume 3! Thank you to all the people who come out and support me daily and weekly. Thanks to all who make this thing a reality. Its insane and amazing and fun. Lets rock for 4 more days and then I'm out till next year!! See you each day this week 12pmET for all the draws!!!

So to clarify, Friday will be the last stream of the year, and I will be back after New Year. Either on the 1st or 2nd.

Stream Notes: Thanks for a great week streaming and drawing on Twitch!

#twitch #drawing #creative #sketch #streamer #stream #show #requests #digitalart #inkscape #wacom #intuos

Thanks for another fun week of streaming, drawing, and goofing around. There are a lot of favorite moments this week, and a few announcements/ updates that I thought I'd try to hit on on this end of week recap/ note entry.

First and foremost, I am overwhelmed and encouraged by all the new faces hanging out in chat this week. Really great to meet all of you and look forward to drawing for you / streaming for you more soon! We hit our sub goal and follow goal this week, and even exceeded it. Thanks to everyone who helped make that happen!

As announced on stream, Upgrades will remain open and you can keep adding things to the list as we go. I'll forge ahead and take care of the oldest of each individual's upgrade list first with new ones towards the end. I am officially calling a no-guarantee if anybody wants some Christmas art done in-time for the holiday. We're almost a week away and that window has closed. But I believe I got all the existing Christmas related requests wrapped. ( Pun, get it? ). But I look forward to continuing to chop away at that Upgrades backlog into the new year! 

As updated on stream today, I let everyone know that Best Of Request Volume 2 books are about halfway done as far as signing/sketching and packing for shipment. The other half is still being delivered. I had not revealed to customers till today that the other half was sitting in the void of the USPS in Florida and its tracking number / info hadn't changed in over a week. While I was hoping that would resolve itself, Ka-Blam was good enough to speed through a reprint and ship a new batch out. So for now, I will consider it still a 30 copy limited run. But if that 15 that got lost in Florida ever materializes, there will be a sudden 45, and I'll stick the inventory in the shop. Volume One had a 40 copy run and still had some copies left over for the BoRVol2 preorder. It worked out that there were enough to meet the order of the folks who ordered Vol1 and Vol2, so no new Vol1s were printed. So why does this matter? Only cause each book is numbered. Vol1 is # out of 40, and Vol2 is #out of 30. I will be working overtime this weekend getting all the books ready to ship for next week. I anticipate getting the new batch of 15 tomorrow and adding them to the assembly line. Admittedly, the struggle with the second half of BoRVol2 sort of derailed my ambition on getting the first half done and ready to ship this week. But I plan on pushing through that this weekend, especially when the second half gets here. 

Thank you to everyone who continues to support, and encourage me to keep streaming and drawing live for the masses. I really appreciate all of you. This is my full time job, so thank you for allowing it to be possible. From me and Kiwii and Wally, thank you!

Because of all of you, I am already working on a Volume 3 of Best Of Request - and new merch to keep the crEW happy with!

See the crEW and all that are new, next week! Have a great and safe weekend!

Beyond The Mill: Testing Out Some New LED holiday lights with Wally

The supervisor approves of the lights

Telling Kristina "These are neat"

Asking me "What else do these things do?"

#christmas #lights #holidays #doge #beginningtolookalotlikechristmas #led #twinkle

Wally approves of the new led programmable rgb lights. They're pretty cool I've never had lights like these. They have a remote and I can switch colors and light behavior patterns with push the push of a button. Should look pretty spiffy once I get them on hung outside the mill. Hope those who are in the midst of their holiday are having a good one, and in general everyone enjoying the season!

In The Mill: Best Of Request Volume 2 orders arrive - assembly begins!

The books have arrived! They look great! Couldn't be happier!

Got all setup on other side of my studio to assemble the orders for everyone

#assembly #book #selfpublishing #sketch #sign #stuff #label #ship 

Happy to say I've received the orders of Best Of Request Volume 2 and should be getting them all shipped out within the week! I've got all the pieces spread out on the now-dedicated "order assembly station " here at the mill, and am in progress of sketching, signing each book and packing them with some goodies and getting them prepped to go to their happy customers.

Thank you to all who made even thinking of doing this, much-less the fact that this is happening, a reality. You are the best! Have your books to you soon!

StreamNotes: 2018 Sub Collage Picture Inks

#subscribers #twitch #channel #inks #inkscape #digitalart

I streamed from about noon Eastern Time to 5:00 eastern time ( about 5 hours and got a whole lot of inking done. On top of that we had a sub giveaway and even a couple resubs that got thank you doodles! 

So, heres what we did today. I got every single subscriber that was sketched in here back on November 30th inked and finished up. Thank you to everyone who supports me, and has subbed all year long, or since they subbed this year. I really appreciate you! If your not in this its just cause you werent a sub or resubbed/ subscribed live on that day. Thank you to those who are subbing and not in this picture as well!

So much fun! Next step, coloring this bad boy! But for now, I'll put it to rest. I'm expecting to get the shipment of Best Of Request Volume 2 today/ tomorrow and I will be putting it on assembly line mode soon as I get them. Quick sketch and sign in each, and package them up! Everything is ready for the books to arrive and get to turning them around to you guys, the awesome supporters who bought them. 

I'm still not 100% better. I'd say 95 or so. But if the piece on this post is any indication, thats not too bad at all. 

Have a great weekend, get that official ewSTREAM MERCH soon as possible so it gets there by Christmas. And I'll see everyone back next week! Stay tuned to this site, or @eryckwebb on twitter or facebook or intagram for updates and behind the scenes photos and posts of whats happening in the mill over the weekend!!

Sketchbook: Snowman and The Yeti -- December Personal Art Sneak Peek

#christmas #winter #holidays #snowman #yeti #abominable #elves #northpole #santa #mssanta

Definitely not keeping a lid on this one. Well... heres a new reveal folks... this is about as far as I got with it, but heres the prelim for what I've thought up and come up with for my December personal art piece. I'm fighting a cold right now and its got my head feeling like a water balloon and my overall being achy and my energy and attention span about as low as the caloric content of artificial sweeteners. But i hashed this out till I needed to take a break. And theres some definite retooling i want to do when I'm feeling better and take a second stab at it. But I'm excited for this new personal artwork for December, holiday themed and related but not super holiday-ish. When I get it done it'll be available to own as a print and digital print download. 

Basicaly the idea is Snowman and The Yeti team up with an army of elves deployed by Mrs Clause to rescue Santa. The fate of the new year and the holiday cheer is at stake.... 

Sketched in sketchbook pro, slow and challengingly ( thats a word right ) with this cold, on samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 with wacom bamboo smart stylus 

Excited to work on it more. Fun idea if i do say so myself. I dunno, I could also be delirious from this cold. Might wake up tomorrow realize this isn't good at all. Haha, who knows.

Enjoying the Code Red tournament on twitch esportsarena and sippin coffee, sketching around on random stuff like this on my tablet when i feel the itch. Otherwise spacing out most of the time.

Ah sickness. How you vex me. 

Stay well all! Being sick is annoying. Yet strangely freeing. 

Nap time.

sketchbook: ewSICK doodle

#sick #ewsick #cold #flu #blackplague #zombieincursion #demonicpossession #sketchbook #autodesksketchbook #wacom #samsunggalaxynote

Doodling around. not able to do much creative energy is not to high right now but mindlessly doodling away at a rough sketch or two keeps the brain busy. 

I really hate being sick. i want to work on that subscriber collage piece or even start/ work on a December holiday personal work and i cant even do that. i managed to squeeze out a few designs for the merch store yesterday but even that took 5x longer than it should have. 

I'll be back soon as i can. i miss the stream. i miss the crew. i miss drawing with all of yew. i hate being sick. enjoy that new merch. you don't have to wait for me to be live to buy some up. you probably want to grab an item if you want it by Monday to make sure you get it well before Christmas or whatever you celebrate.

In other news i got confirmation that the book printer was behind, but i should be getting the books on Saturday. so i may take off a day or two next week to take care of book orders.

Its that time of year folks. a big mishmash of holiday preparations and celebrations as we wrap up the year, and everything else that we add on top of that haha. 

Thanks for your patience, for your support and for being so trew of a crew. 

Be back as soon as i'm physically able. till then, i'll keep wandering aimlessly around the house in my pjs and blanket, and blowing my nose via my trusty toilet paper roll, and enjoying random sessions of staring off into space and losing track of times passing.

At least i get to watch other streamers i like and have plenty of hot coffee to get me through.

And pb n js.

Release: New December Merch Items Are Live In The Shop!!

#merch #tees #mug #pillows #posters

Even though I'm down for the count for a few days from this cold, I was still able to finish adding a few new items to the merch store for this month between blowing my nose and taking naps. 

Introducing the official holiday/ December items from EWG! I'm very proud to say there are a handful of unique holiday items catering to everybody no matter your faith, and also some tongue and cheek items. In addition to holiday items there are also two new general stream related designs I've been excited to release to you. I've got more designs coming but that will be another month. 

I recommend purchasing the holiday related items by next Wednesday to definitely get them by Christmas as Streamlabs roughly a two week turnaround for US orders and looks like about a 3 week turnaround for outside the US. 

In the future I will release them earlier but hopefully most of these will get to you in time :) 

Happy Holidays folks, and happy shopping!!!

Stream Notes: Cold Will Postpone Streaming Till Further Update

#twitch #drawing #sick #cold #thattimeofyear #tistheseason

I am more sick than I was yesterday big time. I'm struggling and will be taking my time today doing a thing or two between napping and blowing my nose. But am in no way able to put on a good stream or really crank on any meaningful art. Creating takes energy, streaming and entertaining takes energy, and I just have none right now. So ewDRAW tonight and DRS this afternoon are canceled. The crEW should expect streams tomorrow and Friday to be canceled as well, and I will update if anything changes. Stay tuned to @eryckwebb on twitter for the most immediate updates and eryckwebbgraphics on facebook as well.

Thank you for understanding, and we'll pick up where we left off soon as this cold moves on. 

Have a great Wednesday, and rest of your week!!

Stream Notes: Drawing Request Show 12418

#twitch #drawing #request #show #stream #art #creative @Inkscape @wacom

Above is all the art we got done today! Started with some epic snowman warm-up action, then did a bunch of sub sketches and a request for a winner of a sub giveaway. One of my favorites of the whole day was the Last Drawing Of The Stream featuring Rocket Raccoon single handedly taking out the Empire - storm troopers, tie fighters, star destroyers, imperial walkers and all. Fun stuff. Look forward to continuing that one. 

Today I had been struggling with a cold that caught up with me late yesterday. I didn't think this morning I'd be able to pull it together and put on a quality stream. But I did what I could, and the crEW really came in trEW and overwhelming with the love. Thanks so much guys. I am floored by the amount of gift subs, donations and bits cheered by you guys. It was totally unexpected!! I'm looking forward even more to revisiting that 50+ subscriber illustration tomorrow, 8pmEST on ewDRAW! stream to start inking! 

Congratulations to all the gift sub recipients, as well as all the giveaway winners! Look forward to drawing for everyone soon! One thing I did realize today, and will be changing starting next stream, is the gift sub situation. Every subscriber whether be by subscription purchase or using your amazon prime will get their thank you sketch there and then to thank them with some unique personalized art. But gift subbing will be a bit different. 

Today we had a dozen or so gifted individuals who when I went to do their thank you sketches they weren't present. It got me thinking that they get the emotes, the badges and the perks for a month. The gifter should be the one to get the thank you sketch. Going forward starting next stream, that will be the case. The random lurkers that are gifted get the hat, the emote ( s) and the perks whenever they want to request or win a request. The person gifting gets the thank you sketch. They will get 1min of thank you sketch per person gifted in a single gifting session. No limit on repeat gifting sessions for now. 

See folks tomorrow 12pmEST noon ( high noon baby ) for more Drawing Request Show action! I'm hoping I dont feel worse than I did today. At the least I'll deploy the ewDRAWBOT to take over streamer duties. Also, dont forget, 8pmEST tomorrow is ewDRAW! a personal art project/ creative stream that we launched last Friday. Going forward, ewDRAW! will be on Wednesday 8pmEST weekly unless otherwise noted.

Alright, thanks for watching, thanks for all the love today and continued support!

I'll do my best to return the favors! Especially when I ditch this cold!

Count on it!

Fan Art: Adufresne99 on Twitch

@AmandaDufresne #goth #demon #girl #twitch #art #creative

Finished the work I needed to finish today, and was hanging on twitch.tv/adufresne99 's stream - she had an awesome demon look going today, she always has amazing topics and relevant opinions to rant about. I know for a fact there are tons of people who need to hear what she has to say. One of the most important people on Twitch Art! So I was inspired to do a quick fan art! She inspired this. Its her fault. She'll take full responsibility too. Never change Amanda!!! Everyone should follower her stream.

Sketchbook: Snowman Warmup in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro

#autodesksketchbookpro #snowman #warmup #sketch #inkscketch #dailysketch #wacomintuospro

May not be streaming today but still working on some offline art in the studio - warmed up with a snowman piece in Sketchbook Pro on Intuos Pro this morning. I gotta say, you all see what I do in Inkscape on a daily basis, but if theres one program that competes with it drawing-wise and a program I enjoy drawing in nearly as much, it would be Sketchbook Pro.

No Stream today - Be Back Tuesday 12/4!

#streamerlife #personalday #dayoff #offlinework #postpone 

I saw somebody on twitter talk about how they couldn't draw horses. Then somebody about how they couldn't draw people. Then somebody mentioned centaurs. And I like drawing snowmen this year for some reason. So Above is my warm-up sketch/ daily sketch i did this morning.... yep.

Sorry to say to the crEW and the rest of yew, there is no stream today! I've been maxing out all weekend and am absolutely dragging today. I spent since I went offline on my stream on Friday till late last-night fine tuning the stream and getting new branding setup all around the EWG websites for the holidays and for winter and at the same time have been tackling some large rush orders for a prominent client/supporter/friend that needed a special-case rush job done. I've been pushing to get 6 multi character pieces done plus a 7th simpler piece by Monday - and I was up late each night all weekend trying to make that happen around in-house branding/ stream updates. Today "all" i have to do is final lighting/ rendering and stuff that will take most of the afternoon, but I'll be happy to have met my initial promised turnaround.

I was burnt out and non-functional this morning and had no illusions about being ready to stream by noon or even being able to run a stream properly. So I'm taking the day to put finishing touches on that special client rush and in general recuperate and be ready to hit it hard tomorrow morning. I thought I could do it all but I can not. So I'm concentrating on the rush job in place of the stream today instead of trying to do both and being up all night again, and will be ready to get back to streaming tomorrow! Sometimes one just needs to take a day. And I really did not rest at all over the weekend. 

See the crEW tomorrow for some Drawing Request action! If all goes right I might even make up for today by doing a longer stream tomorrow!

Stay tuned, and thanks for understanding!! 

In the meantime, there are many awesome streamers worth watching out there today! Dont just sit in my chat and wait for me... check these guys out and I'll see you Tuesday ( tomorrow ) - I might even start early :)
