Leaping Lizard Cosplay

Hello, geckos!

How is it already the last day of May?!

It’s crazy. I blink and it’s almost halfway through the year.

So starting off the bat…

Part 6 of our Outlast 2 series went live for everyone yesterday! I love part 6 as it features a sleep derived lizard saying “phuck me” a million times.

Also, the early release for Part 7 THE GRAND FINALE is today! All current Patrons and Twitch Subscriber’s via their email and in the #patreon_patrons and #twitch-subscribers channels of our private discord!

I know it may seem silly, but I’m very excited to finally have completed the first of hopefully may future videogame series. The finale was just excellent! I loved Outlast 2… And I kinda have the itch to replay the first one again. Hahahaha…

You can see the past Outlast 2 videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p08q0qSywL4&list=PLYrw5Vd1A3dT14sO6pBqunHHOwxOVfLto

Or just click to see the whole series so far here!

I’m about halfway through editing the Resident Evil Series videos. I’ve reached out to the editor to go ahead and get started on them, but with my limited funds, it’ll be a while till I can get all 14 parts completed.

I’m going to try my best to fit in additional videos in the meantime. I’d love to send some more cosplay and life vlogs off to my other editor (BrettUltimus), but I don’t have the finances. Hahaha…

So yeah, please bear with me as I try to keep videos coming out.

After Outlast 2, there will be a brief break of videos to share my Amazing Comic Con Aloha videos!

I did release one video from our Witcher 3 shoot at the Con if you guys haven’t seen it yet. 😀

I love sharing my goofy Witcher 3 photoshoot video. I know I might not be very good at cosplaying Triss, but it was still so much fun to make her happen with my friends. And isn’t that what it’s all about? Having fun? 😀

I hope you get a little laugh out of us dorks. Enjoy! 😀

But yeah, it’ll be a 3 part series from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the con.

I’m about halfway through editing the Resident Evil Series videos. I’ve reached out to the editor to go ahead and get started on them, but with my limited funds, it’ll be a while till I can get all 14 parts completed.

And for some twitch news:

We had a blast playing Dead By Daylight! And you guys successfully trolled me playing both survivor and killer…

*breathes deeply*

And as a positive result of your support! I was accepted into the affiliate program for Streamloots!

This tier allows me to give out more free packs to everyone! Now we do have a ways to go if I was to be partnered on the site as you can see from here:

And here are the perks to being partnered! (I’d love to be able to give out unlimited cards to everyone!) Just so more people can have fun and interact with the stream. Plus 90% commission instead of 80% would be cool… Hahahaha…

I’d like to do an additional week of DBD stream videos this week! I’ve been having fun getting back into the game.

Which once again, here are the cards! https://www.streamloots.com/oleapinglizard. I want to make it something that you guys may want to do and have fun with, and support my stream and future videos at the same time. Each individual pack contains 3 cards! And there are discounted bundles. I have also gone ahead and set up cool-down times so you won’t accidentally use a card at the same time as someone else.

I was a bit torn what to play through next, as I am really trying to save up for a PC and Laptop so I’m thinking I might actually play some additional horror survival games I already own.

I’d love to revisit Alien Isolations DLC and start Resident Evil 3’s remake, or even FNAF, but at this time, every penny counts, and I’m doing my absolute best not to spend any unnecessary funds.

If you would like to support one of these games or additional horror games I have on my Steam Wishlist you can here: https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561198189220283/#sort=dateadded

Honestly, NO PRESSURE!

But, in the meantime, I’m going to be working through my current backlog of horror games I already have.

I’ve decided on the next scary game I am going to play, starting next week…

*drum roll please*

F.E.A.R.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s been on my bucket list to play this series for friggen ever! And you guys will get to see my terrible FPS skills!

We will start it Tuesday, June 9th, 2020! I once absolutely scared the shit out of my college roommate while he was playing the F.E.A.R. games… and it’s one of my fondest memories to this day.

I hope you guys are as excited as I am to tackle this classic. 😀

Creepy kids… Freak me the F**K OUT!

For Patreon:

I’ve started on next month’s drawing! It will be Vincent from FFVII! I’ve been also taking time-lapses of inking him, and I’m hoping to have it done shortly and quickly uploaded onto youtube!

I’m not finished yet, but here is where we are at. 😀

As soon as I finish my Vincent pic and my Animal crossing characters… I will be shifting towards drawings from RE2! I hope to kind of make several drawings from the game, and may even tackle some from Outlast 2, and DBD.

Horror games are my niche and passion for sure, so maybe, I’m going to shift a little more towards Horror Cosplays. 😀

Next month’s cosplay postcard will probably be Jane from Tarzan! I have only two pics of her, but, these days, I’m excited to get what I can out. I wanted it to be Shego, but I need some more time to complete the edits on her shots.

I will be starting to hold cosplay photoshoot streams live on Twitch with my cosplay friends once about every 3 weeks. I’m excited about this opportunity to ease cosplay back into my life. 😀 Now we are starting to open back up in Hawaii, I’m looking forward to making these streams come to life!

I hope you guys enjoy them too! I’m working on my calendar now to arrange future dates for it to happen!

Speaking of Cosplay…

Guys, if you haven’t, check out Humble Bundle’s new cosplay books bundle here: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/cosplay-like-pro-books?partner=oleapinglizard

SO MANY GOODIES! Snag it using my code, and you not only support charity, you also support me!

As for my life shenanigans…

I did something good, but also stupid…

I ran for a mile straight and then staggered running the second mile… I completed it in about 40-50 minutes…

I felt so proud of myself… Until I woke up in the middle of the night with chest pains.

My dumb posterior end went wayyyyy too hard.

This kinda put me out of working out yesterday, because my chest was still incredibly sore from the run.

So yeah, good news, my stamina is great! Bad news, my lungs, and muscles are not…

I’m really aiming to try and have my body in tip-top shape before surgery at the start of the year.

And another piece of crummy news… My UC is in the initial stages of starting to flaring up again… I think with the world news and personal… My stress is a little bit higher than it should be, and my body is responding to it.

Which, I have to share, my heart breaks. It absolutely breaks for the family of George Floyd. I shouldn’t know who he is, you shouldn’t either.

It’s still absolutely stunning that such prejudice and hate exists in the world today. I know this doesn’t affect me directly, but I’m so mad. I’m so damn angry and sad. Seeing his video…

I hope and dream for a day when this is all over and we can all love and appreciate each person regardless of skin color, ideologies, race…

I want to share the amazing artwork from Dena Nguyen, she describes herself as an artiest who wants to inspire others. Here are her beautiful images.

Looking at this happening, it really puts into perspective how little my problems are in comparison.

It’s a hard time to be alive right now, and geckos, I wish you all the love and hope for your safety.

Geckos, again, I can’t thank you enough, the time you take to like, comment, watch one of my videos, or even just lurk in stream. It really means the world to me. I know I’m a small creator in comparison to most people, but I’m grateful to have you all in my life. If anything, it’s helped me more than anything during this difficult stage in my life.

I GIVE YOU ALL MY GECKO LOVE AND GECKO KISSES!!! 💚🦎

P.S. Here is some Sparkle to brighten your day after the heavy crap I put you through above.

P.S.S. Here are some additional links if you would like to support my work and help me get through my insane backlog faster!

Aloha Geckos! GECOKS! 💚🦎

Happy Sunday my friends!

Here is my newest public release! Part 4 of our 7 part Outlast 2 series!

I have to say the best jumpscare of the game is in this video. I couldn’t play for like 20 minutes… It was just too much. I’ve not genuinely laughed this hard in a long time…

The early release for Part 5 is today! All current Patrons and Twitch Subscriber’s via their email and in the #patreon_patrons and #twitch-subscribers channels of our private discord!

You can see the past Outlast 2 videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p08q0qSywL4&list=PLYrw5Vd1A3dT14sO6pBqunHHOwxOVfLto

See the whole series so far here!

I really like this next video, because… Well… A variety of reasons… Uncomfortable singing, beaten by a bloody stump man, fire arrows in da butt, more tentacles.

The world is your own nightmare oyster…

(I googled nightmare oyster… To be pleasantly surprised by a Mr. Bean reference. HA. )

Thanks again to all my Patron’s and Twitch Subscribers, I hope you guys are enjoying this new format. I’m hoping to have all the Resident Evil video’s wrapped up here shortly and sent to the editor. 😀

Because I’m super hyped to already get underway with a new series!

Some life updates:

Here in Hawaii, we are continuing to Shelter-In-Place with an announcement on Thursday stating that we are going to be extending the order until June 30th.

You might have seen all the news articles about tourists getting arrested for breaking their 14-day quarantine. They have not played around. Hawaii has been successful in essentially closing down our borders as we are a tiny island in the pacific. Honestly, I’m grateful it’s been handled so well here, as due to my UC and autoimmune issues, I’m high risk. But after speaking with my boss, since I have my UC registered as a disability at work when people start going back into the office, I will be staying home until the foreseeable future.

Most geckos who speak with me in our discord, have been through the journey with me last year. I had 3 hospitalizations and several surgeries. But, since moving here to Hawaii, I’m very happy to say, my health has greatly improved.

That’s a much longer story for another time. 🙂 Which I should mention the reason we didn’t have stream on Friday last week. I tried out a new brand of sticky rice Thursday night, and within 30 minutes, I was down for the count. Broke out in a malar rash, my Raynaud’s syndrome flared up in my feet, and my guts felt like I had been turned inside out. Honestly, it took all of my energy and I was incredibly sick through Friday. It’s surprising how quickly the body can reject something. But I’m feeling much better now, and now know I can’t eat that.

That all said… I have some fantastic news! I sold my house in Kansas! And I got just enough back to pay off my $12k in student loans. I’m incredibly grateful and so excited to finally be debt-free.

Patreon updates:

This week, I’ve actually been hunting through my old scrapbooks to find some artwork I wanted to touch up and work on for future line art postcards. Which is pretty exciting. I’m hoping to take a day or two this week just to spend time drawing. It’s been too long.

I will be printing my cosplay and line-art postcards this week, and will hopefully have them out by this Saturday coming up. 😀

I still need to take some time to shoot my fan signs for Triss Merigold, but it’s been a bit of a juggle with time management.

Which, btw, if anyone would like to snag a spot and get one, here we go:

Twitch Updates:

This week, I continued to work through Alien Isolation on stream, and feel like I’m getting into a good rhythm. And I’m getting used to the Xenomorph nightmares. Hahahaha… I still have the DBD game night’s planned from last week, and hoping to get to have a couple of extra streams due to this long Memorial Day coming up.

I am going in for a pretty invasive biopsy Thursday morning, and I’m hoping I’m back in tip-top shape for Friday’s stream. 😀

I really hate missing streams, but I know my health and self-care are important. So my apologies geckos for the last-minute cancellations.

But that’s it for this week’s update. So, as always, I can’t thank you all enough for your love and support. I would have never gotten this far without you all.

I GIVE YOU ALL MY GECKO LOVE AND GECKO KISSES!!!

Hello GECOKS! 💚🦎

First off… HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL THE MOM’S!!! I give all the mom’s out there props. I can barely manage myself much less the thought of smaller versions of myself.

And I hope this email finds you all well in this difficult time. Hopefully, this video will provide you at least a brief break from the woes of the daily struggle we call life.

I have decided to start writing my weekly blog here on my website, so, if you are interested in keeping up with me on a more personal basis, and weekly, make sure to sign up on my home page and link your email.

Today, I shared my fourth episode of our Outlast 2 series with all current Patrons and Twitch Subscriber’s via their email and in the #patreon_patrons and #twitch-subscribers channels of our private discord!

This one is my favorite video so far as it has the absolute worst jumpscare of the game.

That all said, honestly, all of your support is the sole reason I’m able to get these videos out.

You can see the past Outlast 2 videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p08q0qSywL4&list=PLYrw5Vd1A3dT14sO6pBqunHHOwxOVfLto

If you guys could, please subscribe to my youtube channel and make sure to leave a like, and a comment! I’d love to grow the channel, and I can’t do that without your engagement… (Thanks to youtube’s algorithm.)

As I’ve stated before, I plan on using all further funds, from twitch and patreon, to hire video editors to push these videos out weekly.

I have so many videos just sitting here waiting to be edited, and I’ve been working my hardest at this time to get caught up and my list is ever-growing. 

Also, as we have some new people joining! Please remember to connect to our private discord by connecting your account on Twitch/Patreon. 

And here is my public discord invite for those interested in engaging with the community! https://discord.gg/8wFTUVj

As I’m coming to you from another week in paradise! I’m definitely getting a little more stir crazy and you can tell because I started my lunch today with a delicious Rum and Coke. BUT I’M IN PAIN… BECAUSE… I and am a sunburnt lobster… As I decided to go kayaking to a tiny island name Chinaman’s Hat (see here: https://www.google.com/search?q=Chinaman%27s+hat+hawaii&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS692US692&sxsrf=ALeKk01xav51pD8kaLb6YKFdnh4QQsmHoA:1589147922840&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi0mb6rparpAhVNvZ4KHdywDrcQ_AUoA3oECBgQBQ&biw=2560&bih=1307) at and hike the small mountain in a bikini… I almost got to the top… But it was an intense rope climb to the tippy top, and I felt maybe next time when I have some pants and proper shoes on, I’d tackle it. Hahahaha…

But for Twitch updates this past week! 

This week we dove headfirst into the nightmare fuel that is Alien: Isolation. Thanks. I hate it… Hahaha… Once I got over my initial Xenomorph fears… It was nice to actually push through the game and get a little further than previously. 

And just to repeat from last week’s update. I know some of you are wondering when the Resident Evil 2: Remake youtube series will be coming out. As of right now, I have the initial edits being done by Orange2Lightning, Mistarmann, and myself. At this time, I don’t know when I will be able to afford the editor to tackle editing them into the video like the outlast one above, so I’m hoping to do some fundraising through my Dead By Daylight (DBD) streams! And I’m also working towards saving up for a new gaming PC, as mine is honestly on its last legs. 

Which unfortunately I did have issues getting the game to work and stream set up last Monday, but I’ve got things up and running and am aiming a second attempt tomorrow. And we will be trying out Streamloots action cards! Some of you may have seen this trend with other DBD streamers, where you buy packs of cards and get to play them.

Here are the cards! https://www.streamloots.com/oleapinglizard. I want to make it something that you guys may want to do and have fun with, and support my stream and future videos at the same time. Each individual pack contains 3 cards! And there are discounted bundles. I have also gone ahead and set up cool-down times so you won’t accidentally use a card at the same time as someone else.

The best part of these cards… You will make me rage like hell… Because the game is too damn hard already. My blood pressure is rising already thinking about it. I don’t plan on playing this with others, as it would be unfair to my fellow survive with friends, and this way I can also switch between both modes and play killer! For each match, I will be switching between survivor and killer, so there will be ample opportunities for you all to troll me as both.

I know what you are thinking… Yes… There is a bean card…

 

I’m dreading it.

For Patreon updates this past week! 

I will be releasing my monthly cosplay postcard as Kylo Ren! My new set of photos will be released sporadically this month. 

And for my monthly artwork postcard, I will be sending out my Yoda line art! I am working towards setting up filming and recording my future line art prints, but I have been working offside on some Animal Crossing characters!

I’d definitely like to create a ton more line art and need your ideas as to what to see next. I do plan on making a Resident Evil Line Art series here shortly and will be excited to bring that to life. I would love to cosplay and bring some RE2: Characters to life, but at this time, things are short and my biggest priority is to make sure I get out the backlogged things that I have too.

Maybe one of these three?

Or the true SAVIOR! ONE CAN DREAM!!!

But that’s it for this week’s update. So, as always, I can’t thank you all enough for your love and support. I would have never gotten this far without you all.

I GIVE YOU ALL MY GECKO LOVE AND GECKO KISSES!!!
