🌵🌺What was Mado up to LAST WEEK?🌺 🌵- Issue 9
Everything that happened from January 16th to January 22nd in one article.
Ding dong!
It’s this week’s newsletter. Let’s get right into the good stuff, ‘cause a lot happened last week.
Streams
Last Friday, I held a members-only art stream!
(Note that there’s no video embed because the video can only be seen by members of my YouTube Channel - but I’ve included a direct link.)
This time, I finished my final character’s line art. I’m really proud of how it came out.
I also had a massive heart-to-heart with my members about stuff that’s going on in my personal life. I really appreciate being able to talk it out, because last week was pretty stressful. Thank you for being patient with me… (and for letting me talk about Fate/, too!)
I’ve noticed I’ve been working on these turnarounds a lot - so I want to up the pace with them. I’m gonna work on more of the character linework behind the scenes. That way, when I next stream, I can get straight to the fun part - coloring!
After that, I can work on other things for members-only stuff… I really want to get back to 3D modeling or pixel art… that’s so much fun.
If all of this interests you - why not become a channel member? You can access all of these streams and use a bunch of cute emotes I personally made!
On Saturday, I went to the Nether in Minecraft and found many treasures!
Again - with the help of my friend and moderator Slime, we found our first Nether Fortress! We got SO much loot from it…
But that’s not all: we also found a cave with EVEN MORE AMETHYST! Like, this geode was a LOT bigger than the first one - so we thoroughly harvested it. I’m definitely dedicating my next playthrough to decorating my new room with amethyst blocks… they’re so soothing to listen too.
On Sunday, I traveled to Russia in Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos In the Lostbelt!
I’ve been meaning to get to the Lostbelts in FGO for ages, so what better way to motivate myself than to make a whole Longplay series out of it?
I had a lot of fun reading the intro out loud: I really enjoyed playing all of the colorful characters within and outside of Chaldea. That said, I might be a little laxer with my voice acting in the future - I do want to read more of the story for myself, and it does ache my throat after a while… But I’ll still do my best!
Anyways, the story is really good so far. I love reading about alternate histories, and this Lostbelt is feeding me very very well. Stay tuned for more goodies next Sunday!
Shorts
This week, I…
…said something rather suspicious.
…sang the funny long dog meme song.
…let Oberon FGO talk about some Cool Bug Facts!
Art
This week, I drew someone I hadn’t drawn in a long time…
For those who’ve known me for a while, I once drew a lot of fan art for the game Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Edelgard was my favorite character, so she got a lot of my attention…
Now that the new Fire Emblem is out, I wanted to revisit her and give her a bit of love again. I hope you enjoy this picture of her, too.
TO CONCLUDE…
And that’s today’s newsletter!
Here’s my stream schedule for this week.
I’m also giving a talk at Visual;Conference this Saturday (from 3:45-4:10pm EST). I’ve worked long and hard on my presentation, so I’m very excited about this event…
