Image quality my wife you're as beautiful as the day I lost you Welcome back! Can you believe it's been a whole year since the last one? This is my third year doing Inktober. Crazy huh. (crazy? I was crazy once) I'll be making one drawing per day for the month of October. The songs featured in this project are, in order: The Bidding, by Tally Hall, and Pools, by Glass Animals. Last year I said I'd put the original designs from this challenge into a DTA but never got around to it, so if I feel like doing that this time around, I'll include designs from last year as well. Year three, let's go! 1.) Mustache. It's Mumbo and Grian! Because of course it is. Grian's gonna take that mustache awayy. I like this one? It's a lil more cartoony than I usually draw, but overall I think it's pretty solid? I don't know if I love it yet. I guess only time will tell. This drawing is fanart. 2.) Weave. Hornet! I like her :) This drawing is fanart. 3.) Crown. Finally, an original design! This is the cousin of one of my shared-custody (with @thespiderdemonthing) OCs. I like him :) Sailfish are always a win 4.) Murky. I think this one's pretty neat! This is my first time doing something more abstract, but it came together looking a lot like what I had in my head. This one's really matching my song choice huh. 5.) Deer. This one's pretty cute? I don't know I feel like I could have been more creative with it. 6.) Pierce. Got a lil funky with the lighting and rendering of this one and it was super fun :) Probably could have upped the contrast a bit though 7.) Starfish. So I may have cheated. This is more of a star fish than a starfish. ...still counts fight me 8.) Reckless. First thing that came to mind was Martyn and Cleo's rather reckless decision to storm the castle. I'm sure it all went well and neither of them got cliff-kicked off a bridge or turned into a vampire. This drawing is fanart. 9.) Heavy. I wanted to draw armor so here we are. bit of a simpler one today huh. no clue what I'm doing tomorrow 10.) Sweep. So fun fact while I was making this I was vaguely like "huh I know this color palette from somewhere" which didn't weigh on me too much until I took more than like half a second to dwell on it and uh it's just Marinette Dupain-Cheng. did not intend that 11.) Sting. Was going to do something bee-themed but thought of a jellyfish instead and it was so funnnn :) Lowkey my favorite part of inktober is getting to draw pretty people for a whole month ... She looks like Hokoto from prism. ... I'm not complaining 12.) Shredded. Buff v!Pearl because I love her :) This drawing is fanart. 13.) Drink. ...I should have given her a fun lil umbrella like the kind they put in cocktails. I am a disappointment. ...what can I say I wanted to give her a barber pole-ish wand with which to siphon orange juice /ref 14.) Trunk. Tree inspired character? I used the same design conventions as the previous piece because I think magical girls are neat, so 15.) Ragged. What if somebody was wearing like. A really cool pair of jeans. 16.) Blunder. Oh Mikal you messed up but hey, everyone makes mistakes (he's had more than his share) but it's okay 'cause he's gonna repair it 17.) Ornate, 18.) Deal. Completely forgot it yesterday so I kind of merged the two prompts? don't know how well I did though 19.) Arctic. Lil arctic fox guy! ...dang it I've just drawn Etho 20.) Rivals. Aylan come collect your roommate she's yapping again 21.) Blast. Really loving this new genre of design I've been doing of like, magical girl adjacent characters? there should be an art month for those it would be so fun 22.) Button. I had so much fun with this one oh my goshh the colors also come out exactly how I wanted which was super lovely like heeck yeahh 23.) Firefly. I like this one? I don't know if she really reads as firefly though I feel like I could have done better. 24.) Rowdy. Roommate collected. Sunflower perplexed. This is not quite how she saw this going down. 25.) Inferno. Well well if it isn't the consequences of Mikal's actions. Rune will remember that. (Took the opportunity to draw two of my fire themed characters! Digitally, I haven't drawn Rune in forever and Charon... ever. but hey I'm doing it now be nice to me. side note, how on earth do you shade a character made of fire?) There's no more after this. I have a lot of stuff to do and not much energy to do it with so finding the time to draw in the specific way I do for this has been really really hard lately And I just have no inspiration? I still like drawing and get drawing ideas Inktober's just not really doing it for me anymore. I think maybe kinda that's okay? man idk (been on an oc kick lately + vsmp ep 6 just dropped though so you might see some art of that)
