Big thanks to everyone who came by the raid train stream! The showcase viewing was a bit scuffed, but we did see lots of cool stuff! We also managed to get through all of the games for the tier list I did have to drop the YouTube stream, but I'll have it re-uploaded shortly (play Amarantus)

New donation goals for the #MeltTheICE fundraiser: $60 - +1 Speedpaint Challenge $70 - Ukulele Practice $80 - +1 Speedpaint Challenge $100 - Color Theory with Professor Talien

Speedpaint results! Overall looks pretty good, but man those shadows needed to be darker. I once again... forgot to spin the wheel. Next one will be another Round 2! I swear the wheel has favorites... #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZB7...)

Excited to announce that I am joining @buzbee.bsky.social's Aspec Pride Raid Train! Next Saturday at 2pm (raid time - stream will start earlier), I will be streaming the #StoryRichShowcase. If we have time after, I'll be making a tier list of games I've streamed. See you there!!

This week's results! I think the colors look better than in the previous attempt, but I ran out of time for a lot of the details. RIP lantern... #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5TJ...)

Today I faced off against my ultimate nemesis: straight lines. My apologies to everyone who had to witness that 😆 #TalienArt (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pr-...)

Here's today's result, along with the side-by-side. Kinda hard to see the difference, but it's there I promise! #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWWe...)

I should actually advertise my VODs for once... I have full playthroughs of all these cool indie games on my channel!! I also have art streams, including my Speedpaint Sunday series! Go check them out! >> www.youtube.com/@TalienTravere << #VTuber #VSky #ENVTuber #IndieGames

This week's speedpaint, plus the side-by-side with the original #14. What a difference! I forgot to spin the wheel, but I did it off-stream and got another Round 2 for next time #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxzl...)

I spent a full 20 minutes just picking out my colors for this one, but somehow still managed to pull it off?? This was probably my best comeback yet #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZNd...)

This week's speedpaint results~ #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=id2U...)

We've reached the $20 milestone on the #MeltTheICE fundraiser, which means the next speedpaint after donations close will get an extra spin on the challenge wheel!

Not a bad result for this week's speedpaint! #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=stsC...)

The colors in question:

Knocked it out of the park with this week's speedpaint. This is probably one of my favorites I've ever done, and it only has five colors! #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZF2...)

Daughter!! Fresh from the art stream #TalienArt #ofTheDevil (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3l4...)

Lotsa fun lighting effects this week - enjoy! (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0elf...) #TalienArt #GenshinImpact

This week's speedpaint! Love the colors in this one, but it was definitely a struggle with the time 😭 (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMx0...) #TalienArt #GenshinImpact

This week's speedpaint! I totally forgot to spin the challenge wheel at the end, but I did it off-stream and rolled another Standard #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRsG...)

This week's speedpaint, plus a side-by-side with the original #57. I feel like I only made minor changes, but they really add up! #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBxq...)

It's been too long since my last backlog update! Here's what it looks like going into the new year. Look guys, it's actually shrinking - I might get to buy new games soon!

This week's speedpaint! I started off confident with this one, but ended up really struggling. Happy New Year everyone, see you in 2026! #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr4Z...)

4 games that defined my 2025

The limited palette challenge was super tricky, even with a fairly monochromatic reference, but I managed to make it work! #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pnx...)

He is done!! And I love him!! Very happy with how this came out. If you haven't played Amarantus, go play it so you can appreciate him properly #TalienArt #Amarantus (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Wpn...)

My boy is nearing completion!! Before and after stream for comparison. It might not look like a lot, but it's progress 😄 #TalienArt #Amarantus (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jRM...)

I was so sure this would be a disaster, but it really came together by the end! Next challenge: Limited palette #TalienArt #GenshinImpact (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut_a...)

Here's this week's speedpaint, plus a comparison with the original! It's really cool to see how my speedpaints have evolved #GenshinImpact #TalienArt (process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D1I...)

A little late, but happy birthday @cocistormvt.bsky.social! #TalienArt
