Artconomy is holding an art contest! Full details on their blog post here - https://artconomy.com/blog/the-artconomy-character-drink-contest/

It's been a while! I'm returning to making schedules to help show when I'm doing what, but this time I'm going to aim for monthly instead of weekly to cut down on the time I spend making (and stressing) about said schedules. I'm here to make art after all, not calendars!

Unless otherwise specified, all streams will be on Picarto.

Friday the 11th, 9am to 2pm* - Art stream: dress-up themed sketch commissions [maybe NSFW]
Sunday the 13th, 6pm to 9pm - Game stream: Pumpkin Carver
Friday the 18th, 7pm to 9pm - Reading stream: various (public domain) scary stories
Thursday the 24th, 9am to 2pm - Art stream: monster top YCH [NSFW]
Wednesday the 30th, 7pm to 9pm - Reading stream: "The Yellow Wallpaper"

I may add more streams if my schedule allows, any updates to streams will get added here!

*All times in Eastern Standard.

VelMal? Velmwah? However you call me, I'll be there to find some clues and jinkies up the place!

This is a test run sketch for what I'm offering on my Friday sketch stream. Orders for that are open! All info like pricing and how to order are in the product description, so be sure to give it a read please - https://artconomy.com/store/Malachyte/product/4870/

Some quick notes:
- You don't have to be present during the stream.
- Orders are not first come first served, but I can only accept so many so the form will close tomorrow (10.10) at 1pm EDT. Once it's closed, I'll go through and process all the orders I can take on.
- If you order something I can't stream on Picarto, I still may take your order, and just complete it off-stream.
- If you have any questions, I'll keep an eye out and try to answer them! The quickest way to reach me for answers is through telegram @/Malachyte
- I may take more of these throughout the month of October, so if you miss this chance there will most likely be another!

Stream is live! Come hang out while I work on dress-up themed sketches and listen to Halloween-flavored music~ We've got Digimon, Demon Queens and more in store today for costumes!

Finished streaming! Really happy with the results of these, I'll be posting them sooner than later :D I will be adjusting the price however, as it seems I miscalculated a bit how much effort they take!

Reading stream is tonight (6pm EDT)! This is my first time doing something like this, I hope it goes good 🤞

Ah heck! I was half asleep when I posted that reminder! Tonight is Pumpkin Carver, not reading. My bad! 🎃

It's time to carve up some pumpkins in Pumpkin Carver! Come help me decide what to carve, and take a peek at other pumpkin creations at the festival~

And if we end up with extra time, perhaps some Potion Craft?

Thanks for coming tonight! Sorry I had to end early, I got a little motion sick X'3 I'll go back in later and get some pics of the carved pumpkins <3

Hey all! I know it's short notice, but I'll be streaming tomorrow to do some $15+ digital rough sketches! No theme, these are whatever you like. I need to build up my funds in preparation for getting new glasses, as I'm unsure how much it may cost me to get new frames and I'm in dire need of new ones x.x

If you're interested, all the details as well as how to order are available on the listing - https://artconomy.com/store/Malachyte/product/4568/

Or, if you'd like to simply donate to help me build my cushion, you can do so via Ko-Fi - https://ko-fi.com/malachyte
(I'm also showing daily-ish Foxtober sketches to all Ko-Fi monthly supporters, if you're interested in subscribing)

Thanks very much, and see you tomorrow for some sketches ✏️

Stream is now live! Got a variety of themes today, so expect it to jump between SFW and NSFW a lot, ha ha. Gonna chill to music and do my best to get a lot done!

Forgot to say, stream ended! Finished at a cool 8-ish hours again and I'm sleepy as heck now. Time to enjoy some dinner and more Halloween movies :3

Finished streaming! I'm so glad I got to try this out, and that it was well received ^^ As always, if you missed the stream (or just want to listen again) VoDs are available on my Picarto page - https://picarto.tv/Malachyte/videos

If anyone has suggestions for how to improve the reading stream, or just any feedback in general, please do get in touch! I want to make these reading streams a fun occasional treat, and I want them to be as enjoyable as possible.

The next stream will be Thursday the 24th for a Monster Top YCH!

I'm behind schedule and feeling a bit unwell, so I decided to postpone the stream and YCH tomorrow and give myself more time to work on my current queue before then.

The makeup date for the stream will instead be:
Monday, Oct. 28th from 9am to 2pm EDT

Once I have details confirmed for the YCH, I'll post about it as well! Expect those by this weekend.

Slight change of plans for the stream today. I'm still feeling a bit unwell, so I'm working slower than I'd like. I'll be working on the YCH concept itself on stream today, followed by various other projects.

Once the YCH is finished and I have an example made, it'll go on sale for slots. Sorry to delay it so long!

Finished streaming. Still a ways to go on the YCH, but it's about 2/3 done now. Thanks for coming and hanging out while I work!

Here's a WIP of the art so far. NSFW!

Pardon the informal nature, but it seems I've messed up regarding my billing and was charged to the wrong card for a bill, leaving me $120 overdrafted. I already called to ask if they could move it to the correct account, but was told it's not possible, so I need to get this covered by tonight or face overdraft fees.

My solution; I'd like to offer 2 preorder slots for the YCH I recently worked on. I apologize for the lack of a finished example, but hopefully the WIP gives a good idea of where the finished piece is headed.

Details
- Piece will be fully rendered with highlights/shading, etc.
- Estimated completion date will be 2 weeks from today
- Monster slot: $75 to re-skin, additional cost for any re-drawing
- Bottom slot: $125 base, additional for extra limbs, wings, or exceptionally large/small statures
- Payment through Paypal invoice
- Any genitalia configuration on bottom slot OK
- Able to change expression on bottom slot
- Message me if interested

Alternatively, you can also donate over Ko-Fi, if you feel comfortable doing so. Thank you 🙏
