OFFLINE Update: 12 hour stream done, the Monkey React was amusing, maybe I'll do the same next week
ONLINE Update Note: A Monkey Reacts!
As a little experiment, once the live stream officially starts I'm going to watch the next MLP episode fresh and during the stream! I've only seen it up to the intro song.
During this I will keep the chat hidden from me until after the episode, I'll put my microphone on and watch it like I'd usually watch it. Lets see how many sounds I'll make...
It's that time, that time for the last Saturday Livestream journal of 2013!. Just wow... I've been Livestreaming on Saturday, each Saturday for a year already. More to come for sure!

This journal will be a location for me to recap the daily streams of that week, put any information in for that Saturday Livestream.
FAQ:
Will you try to update this FAQ?
Yes, I just put this together real quick to be honest, keeping answers short... but they are maybe too short!
What do you do during your streams?
I often try to do something art related (with distractions of course). Whether it's pony, human or other.
Can I ask a
A year gone by
Heh... I've been streaming every single Saturday for about a year now. All you awesome viewers have gathered up more than 1.1 million viewer minutes so far already!
Since about September/October I've also been streaming every single day and having tons of fun with it. Although the daily ones I'm not sure how long I'll be able to uphold those properly, I'll try. I always want to stream for at least 1 or maybe 2 hours each days.
Nonetheless, it's been an amazing ride so far and I've not really prepared any words for this, besides that it's tagging along with this journal. It should maybe get its own.
It's the first full year of me doing pony art as well, perhaps I'll gather some stuff up. I'm not exactly good at these timed events, I tend to just go with the flow and if something ends up being fun and motivating to do that relates to it I'll do.
To finish this up a bit, thank you all for the support, the views, the watches (oh gosh the landmarks this year, Daily Deviation, 1k watchers, 2k watchers)
The Saturday Livestreams will continue on, they are my main event and of all the days I stream, the one I try to stick too the most.
Saturday Livestream @ 2100 UTC
Be sure to check out the Equestria Daily Saturday Livestream post with all the other art and artists, once it's up on EQD: www.equestriadaily.com/search/…The new MLP episode will probably be discussed and at least visualised in art. To avoid spoilers I'd recommend watching the episode first before joining my stream

Daily Stream Recap
Woohoo, new projects! although one did fade away sadly, which is the mane 6 + Spike power ponies project I started last Saturday. I've been getting stuck on it and the motivation is gone for that one. I'll probably have to make it from scrap if I'll pick it up again in the future.
Sad things aside, have an Applejack!!!
Then next up, a little bigger project, an actual humanized pony?! As in 0 (assumed) traits from pony. Except for artificial gear shaped like a horn and such. But yes, have a Luna in Luna Ops!. It even has a time lapse video down below

Next Midweek's daily stream Plan:
So yea... Next week is the switch of the year. I'll try to stream every day, no guarantees on how late though... it's kinda packed I guess.
Not sure what to do, I might do a collection recap on what I made this year? like one of those monthly highlight thingies or maybe a big collage or something.

Motivation
One of the best motivator? Fun!
I guess I'll make it a bit longer. When the financial situation is stable, fun usually becomes the primary motivator but also mostly the one with the best results.
Heh, I always hope I might make someone else's day more fun, even if just for a moment, Or even anything besides what they experience as a negative feeling, so... positive things.
Some things aren't always fun. You can choose to wade through, hoping for it to improve. Or if you know it'll improve, that would be something to look forward too. But sometimes, it's also ok to stop. Weigh it out and make the decision you're most comfortable with.
I've "cancelled" some projects before, as they didn't always work out, they sometimes became a bit too much of a headache.
Sometimes taking me back to the saying "kill your darlings". That idea though to be so perfect, can end up not being fun at all and if it's not fun, how perfect is it really?

Daily Stream Recap
This week was quite CMC themed. A Scootaloo piece, 2 CMC pieces, even one featuring Mojo Jojo?! But also the other Crusaders, the Cutie Art Crusaders hah, it all just fits together.
I've also got a new Time Lapse video out again, which was really needed. I might still put together one
PS: Happy Holidays!
