Weekly Update (Patreon)

Mood eBook - While waiting to hear back on three commissions I was able to hop over to do a little work on the Mood eBook reward. Above is the environment and character examples I'll be using throughout the book, changing various aspects to show how it affects the mood. Working through the Lighting chapter right now which is one of the biggest. I now need to jump over and finish the commissions so I can put all my attention on the book.
Thank you to everyone who submitted images for inclusion to the book. I'll know which ones I need to use after I get the core illustrations finished.

Weekly Livestream - The streams continue on YouTube.com/Swatches at 6pm CST. This week's challenge is on painting realistic metal. Join the challenge by downloading the image at https://www.dropbox.com/s/32yakqnfifmugos/Challenge.jpg?dl=0 and painting the armors to show different metal looks. Must submit the entry with a link to the image in a comment to the last livestream video before 5pm next Monday. The winner gets a free product from the SwatchesArt.com store. 

Personal Growth - My girlfriend and I share a heart for personal growth and enjoy listening to Matthew Hussey on the topic. While he's primarily known as a dating guru check out his playlist on Life Advice on YouTube. I listened to this one this morning which I recommend, it's on stopping the victim mentality and growing from hassles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ladbpg6FKz4&index=46&list=PLZ3-gjraBfaeeSi8V6OeKkNGpa3N2FfBQ
