Ranza's Art Stream - offline

Apparanza's picture
ok tried to organize this a bit better


Traditional art stream: Picarto (offline)
Subject: Wintercroft mask construction and painting! (Fox masks - doberman for next time)
Mic: -
Notes: -


Digital art stream: offline (join.me)
Subject: -



For my digital art streams:
* No webcam, just my screen! Mic is usually off since I like to listen to music while I work digitally.
* Usually I'll communicate with you guys a lot! HOWEVER, if what I'm working on is school-related, I may not type into the chat often or at all since in those cases I need to focus on completing the piece(s) as quickly as I can (BUT YOU GUYS PLS FEEL FREE TO CHAT, I'll at least read along!)

For my traditional art streams:
* Webcam ON so you can see REAL LIFE RANZA working on mixed media pieces or clay sculptures! I'll always try to get the laptop's camera in a position where you can see what I'm doing, but video quality might not be the best (I try to do some close-ups so you guys can see details).
* I'll usually have my mic on to chat with you guys! 8D bUT I may not blab too much since I'll mostly be focusing on sculpting or painting. Also small warning for occasional language (but if my mom's home, and she usually is, I won't swear LMFAO) or horrible jokes/puns.. they're so lame they might hurt 8[
* I read the chat through my phone (won't have anything running on my laptop besides the stream to minimize the chances of my laptop overheating) so if you see me glancing at it a lot/scrolling occasionally I'm just reading along! (B


My streams can sometimes go on for hours (especially for traditional art), so you guys are of course completely free to drop in and out whenever you want ♥
PLUS I feel like it might get boring watching me do tons of little details after a while AND I'm a slow artist in general, so no pressure to be around any longer than you feel like - and if you come back a while later, chances are I'll have moved on to another piece! I like working on multiple things at once, so literally everything is in progress right now and I'll be switching between them every so often to keep me entertained too (B



Current traditional projects:

1.) Three 3' x 4' mixed media (acrylic paint for base colors and colored pencils for detailing/shading; mmmaybe a little charcoal) portraits of my characters Leila, Monroe, and a non-TEF mare named Alma.

2.) A bunch of clay ceramic sculptures! My first plan was sculpting 5 whole-figure characters in sitting positions and sculpting individualized 'environments' for each of them to suit the character (I'd have a flat slab of clay for the ground, and then make add-ons like trees, flowers, rocks, a cave, hills, etc.). I may still be doing that, but only 3 figures/environments and then a series of medium-sized objects, which I call 'visual associations', that remind me of Leila/Monroe/Alma in some way (so that both projects can be displayed together during my senior thesis show when I graduate).
• Possible visual associations to be sculpted for Leila: a poppy, seashells, a pinecone (might be too challenging tho)
• For Monroe: Since I can't think of anything besides blood LOL, might make a slab of clay that I can carve a texture into the surface (stripes resembling his markings along his sides)
• For Alma: an old ornate key, a pair of wings (might be too challenging but I think I wanna try), a candle, a moth

I also still have to eat something so give me another hour and a half or so and I'll get things started! I'm actually gonna try Picarto (downloaded the streaming software this morning) and hope my laptop doesn't explode (8 I edited some of the settings to decrease the roar of the laptop fan but hopefully the video quality isn't too bad so you can guys can see everything clearly enough! Aaand my mom is watching tv downstairs rofl so let me know if it's too loud or anything and she said she'll happily lower the volume~

SCREAMS RAVYN! I'd be thrilled for you to come by and watch whenever you can - I get so happy when I see your comments around TEFc and I'm super glad you want to see this! If you end up unable to make this one it definitely won't be the last time I stream my traditional art, so there's always next time 8D
