During one of my earliest Picarto streams I did a sketch of my main muse Petina as a Jedi. complete with light saber and everything.

Well since tonight's stream is going to Star Wars themed I figured I'd post that image on Twitter, etc. Much to my surprise I couldn't find any image files of the piece, and upon searching my physical archives I couldn't find it either. Oops!

This resulted in this very quick digital image of my muse glaring at me while holding her light saber and using the force to levitate various rocks and debris. I think I know what she's targeting.

Star Wars themed stream tonight

Tonight 5/1/21 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be streaming on Picarto. Because  Star Wars day is just 3 days away Link and because one of my watchers/clients suggested it. I'll be doing a Star Wars themed stream tonight. Besides I have a personal reason for doing it.

I was 12 years old when Stars Wars A New Hope came out. It was the movie that planted the seed in my mind that I wanted to do some kind of art for a living.  When that Imperial Star Destroyer roared overhead in the opening scene. Link  I effectively got religion. I didn't know exactly what I was going to be doing or where I would do it, but I was going create stuff that was going to be awesome.

In the years since I've moved on to other things, but I cannot deny the influence it had on that 12 year old boy in 1977. So tonight join for an evening of starships, jedis, light sabers, droids, aliens, retro tech along with the obligatory stories and D&D report. The fun goes until 9pm Pacific. See you there!

One of the things that can be tricky when I'm taking requests during my Picarto streams is not finding a good idea to draw, but triaging the flood of ideas to find the ones I think I can get a drawing laid out adequately in one hour. So often many good ideas get left behind.

The theme of my most recent stream was Anime/ MLP/ Equestria Girls. One of the requests was to have Sunset Shimmer cosplaying. The idea sounded interesting but I didn't have an immediate image in my head. Then a few days later this image popped into my head.

For this picture Sunny is cosplaying Yoko Littner from the anime Gurren Lagann.  I realized that Yoko's outfit would also making an excellent stage costume for Sunset to wear during The Rainboom's performances.

On Saturday 5/1/21 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be streaming on Picarto again. So join me for an evening art, stories, and D&D report.

Originally I didn't have a theme for tonight's Picarto stream, but then one of my friends, and Patreon patrons Dusty Katt started talking on Twitter about a Equestria Girls/Bubblegum Crisis idea Link and the gears started turning in my head. Beside Thursday was Anime Day 2021.

So tonight starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be doing a MLP, Equestria Girls, anime themed Picarto stream!
