This Saturday 5/25/19 starting at 5:30pm Pacific will be my 4th anniversary stream on Picarto. Yep, 4 years ago through the support of my patrons on Patreon, and the many customer who purchase my works I was able to quit my day job and go full-time as a freelance illustrator. So join me for an evening of art, stories, celebrations, and some really great folks. See you there!

Q&A Stream 5/18/19

Posted In: Baron's Journal

Yes I streamed last Saturday. However due to convention scheduling the gaming group I'm in is not having it's regular 5th Edition D&D game this weekend. So I'm streaming again. This means I will be streaming 3 time in the month of May. 
     When I originally set up my Patreon one of the intended goals was to have regular artist hangouts and Q&A streams for my patrons. Well I'm getting one of those started now. This Saturday 5/18/19 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'm hosting my first Q&A stream on Picarto. I'll be drawing as well, but if you've had some questions related to art, world building, or my dreamscapes that you've wanted answered in a bit more formal fashion here's your chance.
  
  Now like anything there are some rules and guidelines that need to be spelled out: 
    1. You must be a patron of mine on Patreon. Now I have a 115 patrons so if everyone of my patrons ask me a question there is no way I'll be able to answer them all. So I will be selecting the questions that I feel I can answer during the stream.
 
    2. You need to have been a patron for at least one month already. If you've made a pledge of at least 1$ and it's processed then you can submit your question.  Note. I will be only answering question during the stream. So you need to tune in for the answers.
 
   3. If your question doesn't get answered be a good sport. I have an amazing community of supporters, and I'd love to just chat, hangout, and goof off drawing all day with you folks. However I have only 24 hours in a day, and I have professional obligations to fulfill. So if I don't get around to your question please feel free to submit again for a future Q&A. However... 
   4. This is a stream that is accessible for all ages. So please submit questions that are suitable for all ages. Also since we all get enough angst from events around us I generally will not be answering questions in Q&A related to:
    A. Current politics. If you want talking heads for that kind of stuff there's lots of people from every spot in the political spectrum who can scratch that itch for you.
 
    B. Modern religion. Like current politics this can be a lightning rod topic so it's off the table as well.
           
  I look forward to hearing your questions. Please send your questions as a message on Patreon.

I said when I passed 2000 followers on Twitter and kept those numbers for a couple week I would do a drunken Picarto stream. Well tonight 5/11/19 starting at 5:30pm Pacific  it's happening. Join for an evening of art, cocktails, stories,  cocktails, some great folks, cocktails, more cocktails. I think you get  the picture.

A patron reward for Sura-Resch. He wanted my take on Cosmos from the IDW MLP comics. Apparently she was Discord's girlfriend at one point.

This Saturday 5/11/19 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be creating more art on Picarto.

I hope you like what you see. Please help make more art like this possible by supporting me at Patreon

Oops! A cautionary tale

Apr27

I don't know if this qualifies as one of Baron's Art Tips or as simple cautionary tale, but here it is. At the start of Babscon last week I began working on a drawing of an anthropomorphic Rarity (Plainity) in a hoodie. I've been meaning to do a series of hoodie ponies for a  while. It wasn't a commission, just something I was poking at off and on  when I was bored.

Later during the convention SnivianMoon dropped by the Roan RPG  table and talked to me a series of anthro genie pony pieces. My, my folks seem to be interested in my anthro genie ponies. Bottled Six Thumbnails  Last Babscon I had done a genie drawing of SnivianMoon's OC but  this time he wanted Rarity as a genie pony. There's worst things to  want in life. So I decided that first I would do some thumbnails poses  and he'd pick the one he liked, and any poses he didn't like I could  recycle for other ponies. Anyone interested in an anthro Sunset Shimmer  genie?

So I grabbed a piece of paper from  an envelope and went to town brainstorming ideas. It was only after I  had sent the client a phone photos of the thumbnails that I realized I  had down them on the other side of the sheet of paper that had hoodie  Rarity on it. Doh! So the lesson today boys and girls is don't be like  Uncle Baron. Check that you've got a clean sheet of paper before you  start drawing!

If you'd like to see me drawing on clean sheets of paper tune in 4/27/19 starting at 5:30pm Pacific on Picarto to see create more art.
