Inktober Illustrations - My First Six

[drizzlewither]

Hi everyone! I've mentioned a few times in discussion threads that I'm also doing Inktober. I'm not using the official prompts, instead I go to artprompts.org, generate one of each available kind (character/creature/environment/object/situation) and pick what seems most interesting. It's easier for me to stay invested if I don't know what's coming ahead of time. Each day is a new surprise.

Images are about 5.5"/4" as I eventually want to store them all in a little photo album wallet thing I own.
Drawn on Bristol Board with Frisk drawing ink + dip pen, diluted Frisk drawing ink + brushes, occasional touches with white gel pen and other colored pen


Oct 1st
Selected prompts:
* The stranger's power radiated and swirled in his hands
* Pirate cove

Maybe he was the old captain betrayed and about to get revenge, maybe he's just an opportunistic thief about to steal from thieves.


Oct 2nd
Selected prompts:
* A monkey with a wrench
* Fantasy knight's boots

...Yeah that one 100% wrote itself.


Oct 3rd
Selected prompts:
* Gnoll dressed in hide and adorned with a bone necklace

A gnoll is a hyena-man from Dungeons and Dragons. Had to look that up


Oct 4th
Selected prompts:
* A Roman chariot driven by two Komodo Dragons
* What made you think that was a good idea?

You know for this one I think the second prompt was already implied by the first...


Oct 5th
Selected prompts:
* An Ice Dragon covered in snow
* Death by Dragon

Or death of dragon, maybe? If it isn't dead that guy is likely about to get a nasty surprise.


Oct 6th
Selected prompts:
* Frozen forest
* A frilly carousel horse

Today is my day to do gardening volunteering in the local park so I got up early to do this one. Now I'm sleepy in the afternoon... zzz.


so that's how it's going! I'm pretty happy.

These are so different and fun. You have a great style that goes well with the imaginative prompts.

 

[Scamall]

Love the storylines and the art!

 

[laika]

Excellent! You really have a touch with the washes.

 

[Artyczar]

Wow! These are GREAT! Your style is just terrific. It's accomplished and unique. Something most artists are striving for and you have it in aces.

Thanks guys for the comments!

If I get to 9 that'll beat the previous record of 8 - I think I attempted 2018. But of course I am hoping to go all the way to 31. For me this is a mental health thing just as much as it is about drawing. I must prove to myself that I am able to sit down and do something every day. Many many years of failure that I need to unlearn.

I'll post another set once I have them.
