In addition to WIP screencap, I bring you what I hope will become a regular feature here on Ayarane Project: Instant Ramen LIVE! Click on the screencap to go see the archived video. :D
pardon the preroll ads -_-;

With Blastoise’s transmigration, he now has the ability to livestream the contents of his desktop without horrendous input lag. What this means for you is that… well, recall that others had the ability to “sit in” on Blastoise to watch me draw (via VNC) but even then it was laggy and I could only hold one other person at a time. Now the dude can stream to my Justin.tv channel and many can watch if they want to see the sausage being made. :)

You may want to follow me on Twitter if you want to know when I’m about to stream. But, Justin.tv auto-archives all streams for a little while after the fact– they used to do it indefinitely but the archived stuff only lasts a few days now. Worst-case, I’ll just have to do a local recording and upload that to YouTube manually. One way or another, these will be available somewhere for later viewing if you can’t catch the live show.

This first attempt has no sound– all I was running was just Pandora’s Christmas music anyhow. But in future sessions, presuming this draws in some sort of an audience, I’ll turn on the audio so I can pick select doods to call in on Skype for sass and lulz.

Sharing is caring. It can also lead to headfire.

I need to not torpedo my own (extremely self-serving by virtue of being of my own creation) OTP for others’ amusement and go back to when I would shamelessly draw Hikaru and Numair fluffy happytimes. On the other hands, scenes like the above are stupidly funny. Oh well. One of these days! :P

Yet another example of “life made better with beer.” Or not. Just imagine those three wandering through Prontera City, singing loud and off-key and just… laughing it off, Beavis and Butthead-like.

Now with ink!

Holy Prinny on a Geo Block, dood! It’s a Snowscheme WIP!

Our opening act is Haruko, Spoony and Aries (sans fake Santa beard, he only puts it on for the guild open house) boozing it up for some drunk caroling. :D
This will also have the honor of being the first Instant Ramen Sketchbook done via Blastoise’s rebuilt body. Wee~

It’s a widely known truth that I draw much, much better at night… but the unfortunate side effect of Blastoise being VERY efficient with his cooling measures is that it causes the room temperature to drop about 10 degrees. Considering that it’s already pushing low 40s in Fontana around midnight… uh, yeah, that means my office is hovering in the low-to-mid-30s. For the most part I don’t mind, but my hands do! I’ll just have to make myself start earlier.

In other Ramen-related news… it occurs to me that Blastoise is now awesome to the point that I could live-stream the drawing sessions. (Another reason I should do this earlier in the day! Or failing that, Justin.tv DOES auto-archive streams for later viewing…) As is, he barely uses up a quarter of his total oomph with Painter, so I don’t think the tools needed to stream his primary monitor should slow him down… On top of that, there could be opportunity for some sass and lulz via Skype. See where I’m going with this? :)

Seeing as I have just been handed peanut butter and honey sammiches and hot chocolate, I’ll probably be awake a little while longer. Too cold to stay here, though… I think this calls for midnight Disgaea 4 Item World shenanigans. >:D
