And so...it begins.

Livestream is over! Come again tomorrow at 8 pm CET!

You can find the illustration here:

this is my death warrant...

So, as I previously announced, I reveal to you...

The CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN

Troughout the time between the 1st to 24th of December, I'll push myself to new limits in productivity. It's a trial I put on myself to make this christmas time something worth remembering...

...for better or worse...

WHY SHOULD I CARE?!

Because for the duration of this countdown, I will upload a new illustration ON A DAILY BASIS! No sketches, no half-hearted doodles, no excuses! The best is just good enought and Bonsai delivers!

Also, I will be hosting DAILY LIVESTREAMS! For 24 days, you will be able to peek over my shoulder as I draw various pictures of various styles, motives and themes.

You will also have the possibility to suggest pictures during the livestream. You want me to draw a mecha amazon wielding a rocket-powered sledgehammer? A creepy santa claus? Your waifu? Take your chance and tune in! Maybe it will be the picture of tomorrow!

Livestreams will be held at 8 pm CET, unless noted otherwise.

If something changes, I'll let you know either trough a news post or twitter.

IS THERE SOMETHING IN FOR ME?!

Aside from the suggestions, I will be preparing something for the 25th of December for the people that will follow me trough this endurance test, i.e. participate in livestreams, converse in the chat during livestreams, giving contructive feedback on my works during this time etc.

There will also be more things happening during the month other than livestreams and published pictures. Why not come along and find out?

WILL YOU QUIT?!

I promise it here and now: Unless I'm clinically sick, abducted or dead, I will deliver!

There may be a shift in schedule at some days, but only in terms of a few hours at most.

If something happens, you will be notified!

Let us make this christmas something special!

P.S. This weeks livestream is on regular schedule: Sunday at 8 pm CET

Hello fellas,

Boy, was the last livestream quiet. Like, vacuum quiet.

I was a bit disappointed after I got at least 1 viewer last time, but it was fun nontheless. Next time, it may even be 2 viewers :D

But lets not overshoot yet and get to the news.

Portrait update

The Portrait for Jazzas challenge is coming along very well. I already arrived at the finalizing stage, adding details, ironing out the picture and correct errors, aswell as adding fancy stuff. I expect to be done on friday, which is a good segway for the next subject.

SECRETS! OOOOH!!

On Friday, I'm going to announce something that will be...special.

I can say so much: It will be big. Like, really BIG.

The reason why I am so vague about it is because I have to work out the fine details of it yet. Something WILL happen, I'm just kinda stuck on the "how". I refuse to give out much information only to correct myself later because I suddenly decided to do something completely different. I'm sure you understand.

So stay tuned and get hype!

(Re)launch!

I've taken a hard, critical look at my current presentation on picarto and twitter and came to a conclusion:

Boy is my current design boring / nonexistant.

Therefore, I'll focus the next days to pimp my face. Maybe I'll even have a cool logo. I'll probably keep my mascot though.

Her name is "Patches", by the way :P

Any suggestions or advice are greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments.

See you again next week :)

Hello fellas,

it has been a busy week on my part. Many appointments, arrangements and projects require my attention. This makes the few times I find the time to do something for myself and for you alot more valuable to me. It's not much yet, I admit, but when there is room for improvement, you might aswell use it.

In that spirit: This weeks update.

Livestream Brable

I've made a teststream last week and with this I can proudly announce that livestreams will now be a regular thing. It has been very fun the last time, despite the small viewership and next to no interaction. I will host livestreams on the weekend, usualy on Sunday at 8pm CET. If I change that time, I'll let you know.

You can find my channel here: https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=BonsaiDraws

Draw a man

Last week, I decided to enter Jazzas "portrait of a man" challenge. You can find a WiP of it here ( http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1377174 ). I thought that it would be a fun excercise and experience to create something for a contest for once. I will keep you guys up to date on the state of the painting.

Hello NG-fellas,

I haven't uploaded much in the past days, nor conversed much with anyone. See this update as a sigh that I am still alive.

There are alot of things in the making right now on my part. Bigger things. They keep me occupied alot. Before you are asking: That includes NG-relevant stuff. In order to keep you better up to date, I'll begin a weekly post policy:

Once a week I'll give you an update on ongoing projects and other things. The format may expand in content as it goes on. There will be something new every week, so tune it!

The update will be posted every tuesday.

Now to an actual update: I'll likely be able to upload a new painting by the end of this week, so stay tuned.

BB

Haven't updated in forever.

Currently working on a set of illustrations. I hope to be able to upload them soon.

oh, also happy halloween everyone!

Because of unforseen connection issues, the livestream has been closed prematurely. I already isolated the source of the problem and will fix it very soon. I will keep you up to date on this and let you know once everything is ready for a stable, high quality livestream experience.

This should not have happened and I apologize.

Hello NG! Has been an eternity since my last news post.

Im happy to announce that I will be holding livestreams on a regular basis soon.

Today will be a small test stream at 22:00 CET for 2 hours.

You can find my streaming page here: https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=BonsaiDraws

Bring some friends and beer! :D

Btw, I will prepare a music playlist for the stream and I am all ears for music suggestions. Just write in the comments what you would like to listen to.

My vacations eventually found an end and that means: Back to studies and deadlines.

No worries. I will keep a steady update scedule for you.
