Livestreaming Token/Tile Creation?

Would anyone be interested in seeing tokens and tile sets for the marketplace being created? I'd be willing to livestream myself painting if that would be something folks could get into. On top of that it would enable everyone the ability to chime in what they'd like to see within the pack.

What method of livestreaming were you going to use? Twitch, youtube, or something else?

I have Livestream available and would be willing to setup youtube to stream if it's requested enough. picarto.tv is also a possibility, but one needs to have an account there to comment in the chat unlike livestream which is open to anyone. It's free, but I don't know how people would feel about having to sign up to chat. Edit: Oh and there's Join.me, but I think that one has limited room space, I'll have to double check.

You MIGHT be able to bypass twitch by saying its design for a game, and putting under Dungeon and Dragons or something.

You could always do a Google Hangout on Air.

I stream my work on API scripts all the time (my friends like to watch magic happen I guess) but then it does have gameplay as I need to test the scripts.

Just stream it under D&D like Jake suggested. You see things like Dota 2 Workshop artists streaming their modeling and such all the time, it wouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the advice! That sounds like it should work well.

If it was on Twitch under D&D category and said it was developing tiles for Roll20 that people could use for D&D, I would take a look and watch some. On another site, maybe so, maybe not.

My mapmaking is really slow, boring, and a lot of trial-and-error. I really doubt people would find it interesting, much less so then when I actually stream me just drawing.

Don't sell yourself short, you never know who'd be into seeing how things are made :D Especially since artwork is so different for every person.

It's just something I haven't even considered, because even I find it kind of boring. I mean, I could do a trial run some evening, if there's even people who would want to watch it, and you can see my basic process of knocking out maps or something. I don't even know if people would do that.

Actually, I'm aware of a few people streaming such things... if it's specifically for Roll20, we'd love to see our new directory tag get used!

Sounds interesting for me. I'm trying to get a desert background right for a map these days and it's been pestering me like hell.

I'm not doing anything tonight, and I'm intrigued enough by this idea to maybe give it a shot. If people are interested enough, especially DMs who are into making their own maps, I may set up some kind of stream on my Twitch channel showing my basic process of knocking through some quick maps. I don't really have anything planned to work on, so I'll take some ideas or requests if I think I can do them quickly. Channel is just Twitch.tv/Askren2
