I'm looking for your thoughts on a Patreon reward. Feel free to scroll down. You'll see it in boldface.

A very kind patron dropped me a line to mention that they were surprised that I hadn't posted the latest ComicLab podcast* video from my YouTube channel, since it features some (SFW) scenes from the upcoming Evil Inc After Dark.

My first reaction was... "because I didn't think anyone would want it." But since it was compelling enough for a backer to mention it, I figured I'd post it and ask you your thoughts. Bonus — you get to hear me sing! Added irony, we talk about livestreaming!

But first, permit me to share some backstory.

I enjoyed doing livestream events for Patreon backers, but YouTube discontinued its Hangouts On Air app, and the new YouTube Live set-up requires me to use video capture software (like OBS) on my computer to feed the screen capture to the livestream audience.

I have an old computer. Running all of that causes my Wacom Cintiq to lag. I'm socking some money away for an equipment upgrade a few months, but until then, it's either YouTube Live or Crowdcast. And Crowdcast is more than thirty bucks a month. And I just don't do enough livestreaming to justify that.

Plus — as much as I have enjoyed some of the moments we've shared during the livestreams — the fact of the matter is that I'm much more efficient when I'm paying attention to what I'm doing. Additionally, I've noticed that although a handful of you show up for the livestream, the videos themselves get watched quite a bit after I post them here. (So maybe the "live" part isn't as important as I assumed.)

So, over the past few weeks, I've been recording screen captures (no sound) of my drawing process to (a) use for tutorials and (b) add to the ComicLab podcast audio to make the YouTube version of the podcast more visually interesting.

So, my question to you is...

Do you want me to post drawing-process videos here?

They will have no sound, but you will be able to see different comics and projects as they're being created.

ComicLab 86: What do you want to be remembered for?

This episode of ComicLab is sponsored by Wacom! In this week's show, the guys talk about the long paths they took to become full-time cartoonists. Then, they look at the importance of livestreaming, and share some tips on doing that well. Next, a question-asker asks what Dave and Brad want to be remembered for. Finally, a cartoonist writes to say that they are their own worst booth barnacle! How can they stop doing that? BUT FIRST... Remember that lady who showed up to San Diego Comic Con INSISTING that Dave start exhibiting at sci-fi conventions? Well, somehow she found her way into Brad's studio while they were taping, and she has a message for Dave. And she brought a piano. QUESTIONS ASKED... • How long was it before you went full time? • I stink at livestreaming — help! • What do you want to be remembered for? • I keep barnacling myself. How do I stop?
