[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.6″ _module_preset=”default”]Upon the end of Black Friday, I purchased Divi and finished work on the home page for doodle 106. I was a bit confused about why I couldn’t import my portfolio, so more on that later.
However, I got used to the builder, and I love how fast and snappy it runs. It has a floating context-sensitive tool that can add new modules, sections, and rows.
In a short while, I started working on the collaboration page and realized that I need to draw some images and find place holders.
While building, I’m remaking the Dalston look and feel because I want to focus on my live-streaming.

After the live-stream, I noticed that my music and voice weren’t working right for doodle 106.
I set up a Voicemeter to duck or lower my music while I speak, but it wasn’t taking effect. Then, I did many tests and realized that the output did not affect the application.
Meanwhile, VCam or cell phone camera over WiFi gave me trouble. The solution is to use my iPad’s front-facing camera until I find an alternative.
For now, the XSplit team will work on the issue and release an updated app.

Last Saturday, IINYC met to draw a few prompts, and I captured my experience on video for doodle 106.
That day’s prompts were inflatable food, elf girl with a muscular heart, and bathtubs party.
While streaming, I discovered that I could use my previous Stream on YouTube as an intermission screen during the live stream.
The best part about that stream was the inflatable donut because it looked convincing, and it had a little pump to add air into it.
I’m going to include a video right above and a screenshot of the donut. Let me know what you think?

Guys, I added a new plugin that allows us to draw or doodle on my art for doodle 106.
I will let you know in the caption when you have a drawing opportunity. You may save it and share it out on Twitter and tag @Artist.Vye so that I can give you a shoutout.
Finally, I’m sharing a few related articles that might interest you.

What do you think of my inflatable food donut?

Hi, friends, welcome to doodle 105. The Divi Black Friday sale is wrapping up. Meanwhile, white dust mites wracked havoc on my work station. In short, my work area is in chaos for a few days. So let’s get into it, friends.

Hi, friends, welcome to doodle 104. I will cover my EVGA 580 Classified graphics card, the old beast of a computer, and live-streaming. Then, in the end, I’m sharing the new 2020 iMac giveaway.

Hi, friends, welcome to the doodle 102. On Tuesday night, I worked on adding a few features to my live-stream for doodle 102. For example, I made a short 6-second bunny intro video, and I wanted to add that as a transition when each screen loads. However, the video only comes up once in OBS, and then afterward, it stops working. Also, I added me camera option, where I show a broad capture of myself where I speak to the audience. At first, it wasn’t working right, but then I fixed by making sure I was using the same camera. As a result, it’s a bit frustrating, but I will not give up. Overall, I’m adding a few features to my live-stream and hope to solve the issues for doodle 102.

Hi, friends, the other day, I worked on our live-streaming platform for doodle 101. During that time, I built a small PowerShell script to replace the text within a file. OBS has a widget that allows me to select a text file and present the contents on the screen. In effect, the script will increase engagement with the audience by providing them with some nid bits about me. Then, I plan to give the code away on Gumroad or Patreon, or my blog for a small optional donation. In short, I’m glad that the code is working on our live-streaming platform for doodle 101.

The other day, I was learning a bit of Powershell scripting for doodle 100. I plan to build a small script to manage my starting soon text in OBS. Open Broadcaster Software or OBS, for short, is what I use to live-stream. The code will be useful for chat interaction because I will include blurbs about myself. Then people can use that to chat with me or get more topics. I’m curious if it’s worth putting that information during the stream. As a result, I’m excited about learning Powershell scripting for the doodle 100.
A quick aside, Divi (WordPress Theme Builder) is giving away the new Apple iMac 2020. You may want to check it out. Look for the hidden link at the end.

During Veterans Day, I thought about my feelings towards creative growth for doodle 99. However, before getting into my day, there will be a giveaway of the new Apple iMac 2020 at the end. In reality, my mind pulled me in a few directions. Back in early 2020, I purchased a ski pass to reduce the cost of skiing. Later this year, the Ikon pass has allowed us to delay using it till next year. All because of the Cov-19.
On the one hand, I want to ski and use the pass. Also, I want to join a much longer ski trip to Montana. On the other hand, I want to focus on my creative pursuits. For example, I want to spend more time on rock studies and entertaining while I live-stream. In short, I need to focus more on creative growth and less on skiing for doodle 99.

Yesterday, I told my brother I wasn’t feeling well, and he suggested I answer a few questions to seek clarity for the Doodle 98. However, before we dive into the questions, there will be a giveaway of the new Apple iMac 2020 at the end. Now, let’s dive into a few points and gain some clarity.
I want to be a concept artist. Also, I want to have a clean, functional and organized home.
A place where the air is crispy fresh with sunny mornings.
How do you want to live? I guess that question means how I want to live life to the fullest. For me, it’s honestly with my feelings for doodle 98.
I want to live with a nurturing, sweet, caring, patient person.
I like to eat healthy, nutritious portioned RDA meals, and Friday as a cheat day.
What do you want to look like while you’re alive? I like to have longer hair, groomed with a leather jacket. Also, I want to have nice fitting boots.
As I doodle for 97, I wrote about my dream of building a water-cooled PC. It takes experience to learn how to make one and to know when something is not working. For example, in my dream, I want to either work in a shop to fix these machines or win a large chunk of money. Winning the money will allow me to tinker without the need for deadlines, but it’s not practical and will not happen. Meanwhile, my knowledge will grow, and I can build something that I understand and correct. Therefore, it is a dream to build a water-cool PC that I love for the doodle 97.
