I thought we all needed a little less "oh god, global pandemic" and a little more "shiny click-clack math rocks" this week, so here's a real casual little video where I show off my favorite dice!
2020-03-17 19:12:29 +0000 UTC View PostThe March stream will be Saturday, Mar 21 at 10:00am Mountain Time. The link will go up on Patreon about thirty minutes before the stream begins. Hope to see you there!

Super early access for ya! This is going to be released March 25, so just under two weeks from now. It's just a simple little video to merit putting the song up on YouTube, but I still couldn't resist adding some dreamy light overlays, because I'm Basic.
Hope you guys like it!!

I made the ill-advised decision to film a "quick video" this morning to make up for not having a YouTube upload yesterday, which turned into me spending all dang day on this video that I'd already filmed twice before and not been happy with. I am made of bad decisions. Anyway, I only JUST got it all uploaded and tagged, so I couldn't give you early access due to stupidly saying "today is the 5 ...

Toss some suggestions/requests into the replies, but also please keep in mind what kind of stuff I do — I'm not going to be offering, say, armor...

I didn't shoot a very wide variety of these portraits because I really just needed one for the album cover, but here are two I edited up! Featuring my new watermark, haha. I'm into this super dramatic look! To be honest, I had no plans to cosplay Yen... but this makeup test might have convinced me otherwise!.

I know these all look the same but I genuinely couldn’t pick my favorites!! Anyway, I did a quick Yennefer look tonight for the album cover for my upcoming Wolven Storm cover! Keep an eye out for the mp3 later this week, $5+ patrons!

Hey friends, if anybody wants to come work quietly with me today, I have a lot of mailing and copywriting to do, and I'd love some company!
How this generally works:
When I have a really spectacular failure, I try to figure out what happened and how I can do better next time. I thought for this video, I'd do that in text form so you guys can get a little insight into that process. I present: the Jester ASMR post mortem.
I've attached a quick edit from last night, featuring as much noise reduction as I could manage without making the v...

I spent literally ALL day trying to film an ASMR "Jester reads your tarot cards" video, and despite doing lots of audio tests and a ton of research... I guess I'm just technologically out of my depth, because the audio I ended up with is just a huge mess and nothing I shot today is usable. :( I'm feeling really frustrated because there are so many other things I need to do, and losing an entire...

Those of you who have seen recent livestreams may know that lately I've been batting around the idea of doing some "music videos" that aren't really music videos, just video of me singing into a mic, quick and easy. The main reason for this is just that I am able to produce songs much more quickly than I'm able to produce music videos (plus, some songs really don't lend themselves to music vide...

Thumbelina was my second ever cosplay! I’ve been wanting to remake it for a long time, to bring my new skill set to this simple little dress. While my first take was a pretty literal interpretation of the animation, by now I’ve fallen in love with textures and I’m excited to bring some more detail to my second take!
I’ve included some photos of my previous version (on me — oh go...

Phew, I meant to put this up for Patrons yesterday, but deciding to spend 2.5 hours on recording that little song snippet really skewed my timeline!! This is the video going up today on my YouTube — a storytime about my time working at the Colorado Renaissance Festival!

For some reason I decided it would be a good idea to learn all four parts to a madrigal that I sang tenor in 9 years ago so I could record my own version... to use under a photo montage in my Renaissance Festival storytime video I'm editing for tomorrow?? I don't know, guys, hyperfocus is a helluva drug. Anyway, here's some 1500s Thomas Morley goodness!

I digitized the Chaos Crew patch from my modern Jester jacket! February Di-eties will get this as a 4" sticker. I also wanted to show you guys the design because in a week or so, it'll go up in my Redbubble shop, in case non-Patrons or anybody in other tiers want stickers, tees, or whatever!
I'm planning a tutorial for how to turn a Redbubble tote bag into a patch — fingers crossed that...

As promised, here's a quick tutorial for the floppy muffin-style bard hat that I wore for my Vicious Mockery video! This will be going up publicly tomorrow (so please disregard the "Centaur of Attention is in my shop right now" bit at the end — it won't be up in my shop until tomorrow!)

I’m now officially under NDA so I can’t tell you guys what I was in LA shooting, but here’s a photo from behind the scenes! The mysterious thing should be done and released by the end of March, so hopefully you won’t have to wait long to know 🙏 Meanwhile I’ll see you all tomorrow morning for the February patron stream!!

There are officially over 500 postcards on their way to you lovely humans as we speak!
Unfortunately there were around 80 patrons who didn’t provide their mailing addresses — these folks still have a chance to get a postcard, but I’m leaving for Madrid for a convention appearance first thing tomorrow, so your postcard will not be sent until the last week of February. You can add you...

I added the zipper to the skirt tonight, which was the last task to complete my modern Jester look! I’ll be debuting this with full blue-ness at Japan Weekend in Madrid in a week.
