OH Right! I forgot to do a going live message again! Whoopsie! Stream was great tho, you should've been there! We were raided by the wonderful @starscapegryphon.bsky.social and then raided into the very talented @chokico.bsky.social

I'm gonna be going live tonight with a little thing I call art (Subject to council approval). Come and hang out! www.twitch.tv/greymouse_ink

Forgot to post a going live message but stream tonight was super great, definitely felt like I needed it after what felt like a really rough day. We raided into the lovely @galacticatstudios.bsky.social and their community were wonderful as always.

Yo yo yo! if you have not caught up to Unstab me Death you gotta! One of my favourite comics of the past couple of years in my unbiased opinion.

Going live tonight with some Hades 2, checking out what's new in the War song update!!! www.twitch.tv/greymouse_ink

Great stream tonight, with page 3 finished we can move on to the next part! Thank you so much to @strandedonearth.bsky.social for the raid of lovely beans. We raided onto @liam0s.bsky.social cos I missed them and I haven't seen them in too long.

Live tonight with some RATBB, let's chip into page 3 and get this goblin to Timberstone. www.twitch.tv/greymouse_ink

I wanted to start illustrating mini comics about various experiences I've had. I am calling them Tales from the Grey.

Really lovely and wholesome stream tonight. Was raided by the amazingly lovely @starscapegryphon.bsky.social, @squishywishy.boo and @strandedonearth.bsky.social !!! Raided into the massively talented @pantoufflesart.bsky.social.

The current Loupedeck update has removed an integration where I can switch scenes in OBS. It has been a really frustrating update for me as reverting to previous versions was a temporary fix that is now no longer available. This update has made the console itself obsolete for my set up.

Made some awesome progress on tonight's comic!!! I feel really happy with how much progress we've made across this new Chapter. Thank you to @goblin4coin.bsky.social and @strandedonearth.bsky.social for the raids!! Ended the night with a raid to @rizzlexo.bsky.social for the first time!

I've finished putting together the cover art for the upcoming chapter of RATBB. I love working with the covers because I get to work in so much symbolism.

I've added a bot into my community discord that acts as Ratchet in the chat. However while giving it permissions I found something that made me giggle quite a bit.

First ever Commission stream was tonight, I originally used Twitch as a way to motivate me to work on my comic, it has now become such an instrumental tool for my digital art and motivation. Thank you so much to @jasminezellmer.bsky.social for the raid.

I've been playing a ton of Hades and I am absolutely in love with Dusa. I have wanted to do an artwork of her for a while but finally used tonight as an excuse to do it. I feel pretty proud with how it has turned out.

I've made a little coffee card to show the filled commission spots of my Kofi, this is generally for my streams as a cool visual que that I have things I should be doing outside of my comic 😂

I will be opening up commissions permanently on Ko-fi. I'll have 5 spaces open every month and will be streaming the process on commissions every Sunday. So if you order a commission from me you'll always know how it's going. (Not counting NSFW commissions ofc) ko-fi.com/greymouse_in...

Gotta pause my streams for a little while. My PCs motherboard has finally died after 7 long years of service. Terribly sorry for the disruption you your regularly scheduled soup time.

Awesome stream tonight. Slowly getting back into the swing of things and really enjoying what's coming up in this chapter. Thank you to @dont-cat.bsky.social and @strandedonearth.bsky.social for the raids! We jumped into @suitedart.bsky.social community to scrungle some rival comic pages.

End of the first stream of the year, feeling super energized about everything that is upcoming. Can't wait to see how Chapter 4 turns out!!!

I ordered the new @tourbox.bsky.social elite last year as a little present for myself only to check today and realize I hadn't properly fulfilled my side of the order process. Here I was thinking this order was taking a while and in the background I hadn't even ordered it. I am a fool.

Concept art for one of Kaitianki's religious groups, known as the silk spinners. They believe they can read the future in the silk of the creatures of the prophet trees scattered throughout Kaitiaki.

With the release of my latest chapter of the comic I thought I ought to include a retrospective as I have done previously. This chapter took a year to make so I have had some thoughts bubbling away for some time now. ko-fi.com/post/Chapter...

Chapter 3 is now live and free to read on Tapas!!! Please go and check it out, it took me a year to make and I really loved working on the story for this part. m.tapas.io/series/Ratch...

Tonight was the last stream for the year for me and we managed to get some concept art for Timber stone done. I really enjoyed tonight and it was awesome to get to hash out a location that we will be seeing a lot from chapter 4 onwards. I suck at perspective so I was really happy with this.

RATBB background detail No# 2: Currency in Regalle is inspired by the clover fields of the capital. Their ascending value is based on the level of luck to find them. They were cast with the belief that the people of Regalle should be able to tell which coin they are handling by touch.

Chapter 3 of Ratchet and the Beanstalk Brigade will be going live on Friday the 20th of December. I managed to get this chapter done before the end of the year!!! For those of you who are 'Comic editor' members of my Ko-fi you can read the full chapter right now. ko-fi.com/album/Ratche...

RATBB background detail No# 1: Ratchet is canonically colourblind, he is unaware of his own green skin and red scarf being the colour they are. He normally is not impaired by this, however in some circumstances he needs a little help. This is why he has colour correcting goggles on him.

I thought I might start using Bluesky as a place to post about little aspects of RATBB that will be established in comic but may not be entirely obvious. It'll be things like character traits and little facts about the story and it's inhabitants. I already have a few ideas 😊

Clearly I have good taste as my viewer wrapped only has the toppest tier of beans! Also gotta keep an eye on my rival @suitedart.bsky.social.

This was a really good year for me, I genuinely could not be happier with everything that has come from streaming. I started streaming as a way of motivating me to work on my comic. I did not expect so much more to come from it. Thank you all!

Another fantastic stream tonight with incredible progress being made! I feel like we are so close to Chapter 3 being released that I feel Christmas has come early!!! Was raided by the wonderful @silentsolidarity.bsky.social , @strandedonearth.bsky.social and @zellstice.bsky.social.
