I just finished streaming BIG DUMB COVER ART SIX over at twitch.tv/howardtayler, and had a great time right at the end discovering that halleleujah the cover is done!
The stream ran for about two hours, and is available for re-watching on my Twitch channel for the next couple of weeks. I’ll get it up onto YouTube eventually.
We’re running a brief social media promotion. It involves Twitter.
RETWEET FOR GLITTER!
If this link to our Kickstarter gets Retweeted 100 times, Meg will glitter up Howard’s beard, and we’ll post photos.
500 times? You’ll get progress shots.
1000 times? LIVE STREAM¹
1001 times? YouTubed, for posterity.https://t.co/YrY6ZLqLXs— Howard Tayler (@howardtayler) November 5, 2019
We only have about a week before my friend Meg leaves town, and takes their glitter with them. If you want it to happen on video, get thou to a retweetery…
Over the weekend I had insomnia, and decided to stream my work on the Big Dumb Objects cover. That video is now available on YouTube.
The audio wasn’t working, and it took me a minute to realize I wasn’t being heard, so I’ve positioned the video at that point in the clip above. I decided not to troubleshoot the audio, and to instead focus on making art.
I’ll be doing this again, only with working audio, so be sure to follow twitch.tv/howardtayler for notifications of the live stream. The next pass of inks will really shape the picture, and should be fun to watch.
We’re still on-track with the Big Dumb Objects Kickstarter, and our first pin design proofs are now pictured on the page. It looks like the pins will be unlocked as add-ons today or tomorrow, so be sure to check them out!
Today at 7pm Eastern (5pm my time) I’ll be streaming from my drafting table. Follow and subscribe at twitch.tv/howardtayler
Today’s project is the cover art for the next Schlock Mercenary collection, Big Dumb Objects. I’ll be starting with concept thumbnails, so if you show up early and join the discussion, you might just influence the final product!
I’ll also be taking suggestions for future streams, and I might even work on some Schlock Mercenary comics if I get stalled on the cover.
