Tim's new Twitch Channel HERE!

Hey everyone, I am now officially independent and will continue doing the weekly Twitch streams on my new personal channel: vonnart. (You can click the link above!) I will still be giving tutorials, advice, and talks on everything art and life to stay motivated! You can expect more casual streams along with collab streams with my vonnhaüs roommates! The First Stream starts at 2PM CST(-5GMT) TODAY!

Today’s Topic at 2PM CST: Tim’s Final Stream!

Artist: vonnart

After 6 years working at CG Cookie and 5 years doing livestreams, today will be the last one! I have loved these streams and they gave me a platform. I can't even pretend to be as thankful as possible for Cookie and for letting me build a community while I draw and talk.

I never thought I would enjoy letting other people watch me work, let alone have to talk through it or even explain what I'm working on as a tutorial.

So come today as any other stream would roll out with some traditional rendering for Drawtober and a good reflection on why streaming has helped me over the years!

Live Interview NOW!

Interview with @Puillustrated starting NOW! Come watch him draw and share his experiences being an independent artist!

Today’s Topic at 2PM CST: Comfort Zones

Artist: vonnart

Today we are streaming 3 hours EARLIER as I have a plane to catch later today for Salt Lake Comic Con! What better day to talk about Comfort Zones, than on a day I feel I can't prepare as much and need a fallback drawing idea to create! So today let's talk about comfort zones and how to use them wisely!

Today’s Topic at 2PM CST: Oil Painting Demo

Artist: vonnart

Moderator: Gawki

Today we are going to experiment and do some traditional painting with OILS! This medium is tricky to say the least so I'm going to give my thoughts during the process and what I've learned so far when working with this medium!

If you are interested in this traditional medium, then this stream is for you!

Today’s Topic at 2PM CST: Traditional and Digital Demo

Artist: vonnart     Artist: Gawki

Today we are going to be doing a digital and traditional demo of the same subject matter at the same time! Come join and watch as we give an example of each and talk about the differences and similarities between the two!

We are doing the DRAWTOBER logo today as we have both been excited planning and organizing this as well as showing that anyone can do this October challenge in whatever medium they would like!

The KAY-9 Concept Contest  is NOW OPEN!

Check out the full Contest details, rules, and where to enter HERE.

SUBJECT: The KAY-9 Gang

Last spring we launched the #Battered Bunnies Contest and ever since there has been a request for a contest representing the rival gang. The time has officially come! What better way to bring in the new site then with the biggest concept contest yet with double the prizes and even more distinguished art judges!

The KAY-9 gang lives in the same world as before but with a few key differences to their attire and weapon of choice. While the Bunnies were gritty and scrappy in appearance, the KAY-9's have a classier touch of refinement to them. They bear suits paired with a canine mask of their choice. And for their weapon, they prefer something that can draw a bit of blood.

The challenge is to create a member of the KAY-9's as if you were a concept artist given this task with free reign on using your creativity to its fullest....and then some. We are looking for either a finished concept art piece or a full illustration showing off the character (we encourage the illustration but rendered concept pieces have won in the past). The character can be male or female but must have a few elements which you can find in the "Rules" tab!

The JUDGES

We have 10 insanely talented artists I have enlisted as guest judges to give insight when choosing their top choices for the golden award! So be sure to give it your best shot to showcase your skill and talent!

Today’s Topic at 2PM CST: Success and Failure

Artist: Tim Von Rueden (vonn)

Artist: Gawki

Artist: Sketchgeek

Artist: Sean Price

Artist: Gabe Bautista

Artist: Ashley Erikson

You guys broke the goal of 2500 followers on twitch so now we are having a special collaboration stream in which I'm bringing on all 6 roommates here at vonnhaus to talk about success and failure. So each roommate will be given a half hour to discuss what success and failures as an artist means to them so come join in the discussion as I believe this will showcase the lows of being an artist but more importantly, how to overcome them.
