First layer of base paint is ON LIKE DONKEY WIZPIG!

GOING LIVE NOW!

WIZPIG gets a lick of paint later on Twitch! See you about 7pm uk time - I’ll post on here when I’m ready - but first I’m out for a Xmas meal with parents! Have a good Saturday!

Our very own @kevbayliss.bsky.social ventured out to the printers to pick up the Yooka-Replaylee print today from our recent art competition! 🎨 They did a fantastic job; congrats again to TheGreyLop for winning this stunning piece! (None of the Playtonic staff are jealous at all)

I’ll be live on Twitch this week painting my new Wizpig sculpture! 🐷🎨 If you want to see him finally get some colour, come and join me on 6th December at 7pm (UK) and throughout the weekend on my channel!

Another delay. Today it’s trains. Stuck in Stoke. Train is empty so I got on it. Home is so close. Had a fab day in Birmingham with @playtonicgames.com for our Christmas Day out though.

Stuck at Oslo airport in a bar with a robot serving me drinks. There could be worse places to be. Will I make it back home to Manchester tonight? I’ve got to get to Amsterdam yet - and time is ticking on!

OH MY GOD! It’s the KEV BAYLISS video game education class! We’re going to learn about how DONKEY KONG COUNTRY was made and how Mario has changed over the years with the RETRO MESSA team, and how their new HUB is open to learn video game skills and development! 😄

Last trip of the year to Norway teaching kids how Mario and Donkey Kong have changed through the ages, and how we make video games - then and now

👀

🎨 We have our winners! 🎉 A huge thank you to everyone who entered our Yooka-Replaylee painting competition. The response was incredible! 💚 Watch as Kev reveals the winner of the original hand-painted artwork, plus the five lucky runners-up who’ll each receive a signed print.

We Have Our Winners Congratulations to TheGreyLop (Salvador H) for winning this stunning art piece created by Kevin Bayliss! Runner-ups for the 5 signed prints are available here - https://gleam.io/giveaways/wx7P8 Thank you to all who entered and supported Kev on stream to get this finished.

FINALLY FINISHED. After Ruined jeans, Painted carpet & almost runing the bathroom sink, I have now put my initials and date on. no stream tonight, we’ll be picking winners LIVE at @playtonicgames.com (probably Tuesday evening, will confirm tomorrow!) Application Entries finish tonight at midnight!

It’s not finished yet but it’s getting there! We’ll be picking the winners this weekend! 😃 @playtonicgames.com

THANK YOU! Everyone who watched today. Looking a bit more solid now. This time next week it MUST be finished!

Repainted LAYLEE over the weekend to make her more accurate to YOOKA-REPLAYLEE! In the process I ended up covering a lot of the foreground so this week I have to paint over stuff again. But that just gives YOO more time to enter the competition & WIN IT! 😃🖌️🫟🎨 @playtonicgames.com

Still some work to do! (There’s not a shadow in sight!) but in a week’s time I’ll have it finished - needless to say we’ll be extending the date for the end of the competition. Check out @playtonicgames.com for news!

Here’s the link if you’d like to enter. It was posted a while ago (pretty sure it was before Replaylee released) so it was quite far down their page. gleam.io/wx7P8/win-a-...

More shading and shadows slowly being added. More painting today at 4pm (uk) for a few hours! And tomorrow too!

Today I have twitchy face. All night, my left cheek (on face) has been twitching, and it STILL is. I look like a gerbil.

Re-activated BLUE SKY!

Today I’ve added his cane, modified LAYLEE, and pushed back everything with a glaze layer of fog to balance it. So - next to add rockets, shadows and hint at the background detail! THEN - the FUN BEGINS and I can start refining what’s there and polishing it all up.

Nice to wake up to this colour today! Have a good one, whatever you’re up to!

I fixed her! Following last week’s VARNISHING DISASTER! her face and hair went white, so I had to remove the varnish which also removed paint. But she’s all better now after receiving fresh make-up!

It's been a great week! I've been teaching students aged 12-18, how to create video game characters using clay with the Retromessa team. Scanning their original concepts to make 3D digital models, the importance of design and communication were all covered! They were then turned to GRAFFITI!

Fancy new artwork for my facebook page. If you'd like to order an art print - check it out! www.facebook.com/KevBaylissArt

Welp, i usually keep this out of more public social networks, but since what i'm refering this with is more "public" so to say well XD @kevbayliss.bsky.social I had an itch to do this after seeing the tweet, hope you like it Mr Bayliss XD

Hello! Anyone who was interested in one of these, please follow the link to my Art page here: (Trying to streamline my process a little this time - Thanks!) www.facebook.com/KevBaylissArt/

Hi! I now have an art page. I'm in the process of setting it up today, and when I'm done you'll be able to order prints via my order form! I'll let you know when that is available. Currently adding content! See you there! www.facebook.com/KevBaylissArt/

Streaming now!

She's a killer!

Next painting might be a bit racey! #art #acrylic #3dmodeling #gamedev
