Inktober 2019

FINALLY I scanned all of my #Inktober pieces, that tells you how fare behind I am on scanning. Since I started using Instagram I have been putting a rough photo there and then put the piece in a pile waiting to be scanned.

I have a few rules for my personal Inktober challenge:

  1. The Ink in question is fountain pen ink, so all of these were drawn with fountain pens, and maybe some water dilute or paint with the color.
  2. No sketch lines or pencil lines first, no whiteout, just straight drawing without prep.

Which ones are your favorites? Some of them I really like, some, not so much.

I can also make prints of any of these if needed.

Daily Creativity: OctopusThis Octopus makes me smile, most octopuses and cephalopods make me smile. I love them, because they are such neat creatures. Tonight I found out that they share almost no genes with other animals. They are genetically related to only other creatures like them. Which is fascinating really. They can camouflage themselves, and fit through any opening that is large enough for their beak, everything else can squish. I drew this with pencil on paper.

Daily Creativity: Rory as a Funko Pop FigureI made Rory as a Funko Pop Figure, inspired by the next episode of Nutty Bites that I was editing today. I really wish this could be a real figure now, I’d buy so many of them, make it a reward level for the patreon.  I designed this in illustrator using the dimensions of a real figure. You can expect to see this as the album art for the next episode.

Daily Creativity: Spring Maiden inspired by Jill ScottHappy first day of Spring, it never feels like Spring on the first day. I painted this Spring Maiden, she is inspired by Jill Scott in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. I had seen the show before, and read the book. My friend Matt reminded me of it, and told me all seven episodes were available on youtube, so I have mainlined them. I love this show, and Jill Scott especially. It resonated with me back then and more now. We need more roles like this on TV, and more TV this inspiring. Why no season 2 HBO?
