Hello everyone~!

My goodness, two months zipped right by me. I'm pleased to say that my time away has worked out very well, though not as much for art specifically as I would've liked! Much of my time was taken up with volunteering and prepping my application to UNBC's teaching program, and now that everything regarding that is taken care of, I think it's safe to start easing back into commissions!

I won't be opening up any slots for full commissions just yet though. For the next couple weeks of April, if things go well, I'll be doing some paid stream work.

I plan on doing paid streams on these days:

• Tuesday, April 8th. 12 PM to 9 PM PST. (Dinner break from 4 - 5 PM)
• Wednesday, April 9th, 12 PM to 9 PM PST. (Dinner break from 4 - 5 PM)
• Monday, April 14th, 1:30 PM to 9 PM PST. (Dinner break from 4 - 5 PM)
• Wednesday, April 16th, 12 PM to 9 PM PST. (Dinner break from 4 - 5 PM)

Streams beyond this will be announced as they come! I want to see how much interest these streams generate before I plan beyond these four.

How this will go down:

Prices:
$15 (Canadian dollars) will get you a sketch or speedpaint that I'll work on for approximately one hour. $30 will get you two hours, and $45 will be three hours. I won't be accepting requests higher than three hours right now, for the sake of keeping things simple. Examples of sketches and speedpaints can be seen HERE, to give you an example of the sort of stuff you could get.

PLEASE NOTE: I will be offering a DISCOUNT for anyone who wishes to request artwork that is heavily related to Toriko, The Legend of Zelda, or my world of Ahnurth! As a thank you for asking for artwork related to my current inspirations, these will be $12 per hour instead of $15!

Process:
When the stream is open, you can request a slot in the stream chat. . I'll confirm your place by writing down your name on the in-stream list, then you can email your request info to me at sunset.aria@gmail.com. I will ignore notes sent to me on FA or Weasyl, or descriptions and links posted in-stream. This is to keep things organized for me, and to keep ref and request information from getting lost mid-stream. No matter how short your request is, I want it done via email.

In your email please send me:

• How many hours you want to purchase from me (1, 1 1/2, 2, 3, etc.)
• Character references (Picture refs are highly preferred)
• A SHORT description of what you want me to draw, which may include things such as poses, expressions, what's happening, etc. Please keep it brief and clear.
• Do you want a SKETCH or a SPEEDPAINT?

Payment comes AFTER your sketch is completed, and you'll get a large copy of the file after I've confirmed it has been sent.

Now, aside from all that informative garble, I'm curious to hear something. I tend to use Livestream as my main venue for streaming everything, but I've seen alternatives crop up in the last while, such as Picarto.tv. What have people used, and what do people prefer for viewing and chatting? Should I look into these other options, or is it easiest to stick to Livestream?

Also, if you have any questions, feel free to comment with them!
