Hello my loves! | 9:25 to skip intro!
Full art stream from November 2 2018, attempting to paint the background on PulsarShark's drawing Honor Flight with genuinely no idea what I am doing because landscape painting is some kind of ancient magic I cannot get my head around.
Important note, this episode was originally streamed with the first 20 minutes or so muted, because I am dumb like that. In the upload here, I've added music to that period so that it's not nearly half an hour of awkward silence; the audio from the original stream resumes following the second short intro stream at 17:30.
I asked Pulsarshark at the time to tell the story behind Honor Flight in his own words, which I will share here -

I spent months casting around in the back of my head for ideas for a commission I could give Jadey, the Twitch artist I'd subscribed to.
In days past, I would've done something with one of my RPG or Wheel of Time fanfiction characters, but I haven't been seriously invested in any of them for a long time. I'd noticed that she still had a few spaceships in her portfolio, from Elite: Dangerous, a game we both play, and I liked how she'd portrayed them. I considered what ships I might ask her to draw for me.
Eventually I came up with an idea that was about character as much as ships. I asked her to show four of my favorite pilots in their ships - three fictional, one real. Four honest, conscientious, intelligent, dependable, highly skilled guys who are the best you could ask to have around. Lee "Apollo" Adama from Battlestar Galactica. Corran Horn, Rogue 9 from the Star Wars expanded universe. Stringfellow Hawk from the '80s tv show Airwolf. And my paternal grandfather, Clarence W. Godecke, Jr, who flew B-17s out of northern Africa and England in World War 2.
I proudly present "Honor Flight." Jadey knocked this out of the park; I can't express how happy I am to see such a detailed and well done vision of these heroes flying together! And I even got to watch her working, which was fun and relaxing. She would like to do more commissions and professional art, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She's very good with human & humanoid figures too! Please consider contacting Jadeymew if you or someone you know needs something done! Honor Flight printed great on quality photo paper at 38"x29" and is hanging in a frame on the wall above my PC desk.

Steve was a dear friend who lost his battle against cancer on April 5, 2019, I only knew him for a short time but I got to know him very well in those last few months. I miss him terribly, but I am glad to know that the work I was able to do for him was able to bring him some cheer.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for watching my work, I appreciate it dearly.
I love you all. ♡
