Sorry for you newcomers to PS6 that it was a bit of a fiasco. It's not usually like that, really, but into every livestream some drama must come, right?

For those who don't know, Pocket Spriter is a live spriting tutorial focusing on Fakemon (and on my end, Hieros Gamos). My friend Twitch and I do various things trying to teach newbies and experienced fakemon/creature designers alike some tricks.

ANYWAYS. PS7 is tonight at 5 PM EST. Here's a little writeup Twitch did on it:

Pocket Spriter #7: Trials and Pixelations

Newcomers and oldcomers all, welcome to the newest episode of the eagerly-anticipated Pocket Spriter! Today, we rejoin our heroes Seika (That's me!) and Twitch as they grapple with challenges such as overcoming artblock and dealing with thousands of screaming fans who all want requests and commissions and concrit. Exciting! You, the viewer, can join in on the talking fun if you have skype, or simply via the chat if you do not.

The stream will start at 5PM EST on Wednesday, December 29, an earlier start time to accommodate those in other timezones. Panels are as follows:

Hosted by Twitch: 5-8PM
Circuitry Tips: Designing and spriting electric-type fakemon
No Regrets: Reviewing and improving on old designs
Sprite Critique: We take a closer look at viewer-submitted sprites and might actually resprite a few.

Hosted by Seika: 8PM-Happy hour
Hieros Gamos: It's not pokemon, but it -is- a neat pokemonesque game. We'll take a closer look at the alternative style of Seika's creations.
Sprite Requests: Viewers request a design or idea to be sprited.
Happy Hour: par-tayyyy

As always, the link to the channel is http://www.livestream.com/pocketspriter ! You don't need to be registered on livestream or anything. Just drop on by, and tell your friends!


We like seeing experienced pixelartists stop by and give their thoughts, so if you're interested just hop onto the livestream at or after 5. Hope to see you there!
