Title: Inktober 2017
Post by: Arx on October 01, 2017, 02:31:29 pm
It is that time of year again.

Spoiler: Offical Inktober Prompts (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Mythical Inktober Prompts courtesy Frenone (click to show/hide)

But Arx, what is Inktober?

Every day you draw something, ideally in ink (does it show?). Some people just use the prompts. Some people draw digitally, but on one layer and without using any tools.

But Arx, that's really vague!

Yep! My approach to Inktober is that what you do should involve ink, preferably as the main focus. If you want to do a pencil sketch base, that's alright. If you want to go in YOLO, that's alright. If you want to use gel pens, that's alright. If you want to use your great-grandfather's antique calligraphy set, that's alright. You get the idea.

There are purists and similar things out there, but they confuse and terrify me. I do this for fun and improvement.

But Arx, both those sets of prompts suck...

You don't have to use them! They're just options.


I would say I'll accumulate posted Inktober things here (if you want to share them (please do!)) but that would almost certainly be incorrect.

I've been looking forward to this. Always fun to see everyone's art.

This year I've decided to illustrate some of the stories I made up as a kid, while loosely following the prompts. I'll also include a little bit of context for each scene.

I'm using a brush and some acrylic ink, not a marker. That's about it. :P As the ink on the brush depletes, it leaves lighter marks (and less). I can also add a tiny drop of water to the brush to get grey.

Not that much, but it's something that's come to bother me as well over the last few years, so seeing you have the same opinion made those rants that much more memorable :) (also your note on silently judging those who requested impractical armour in your commission topic ^^)

Also, Jopax is giving me a mild case of self-consciousness here. Those are incredible!

@Karhell no need for kicking yourself like that. The only person you need to be comparing your art to is your yesterdays self, and you've been pretty consistently good here. Also that owlman is giving me some strong Gunerkrigg court vibes.
Thanks :) I actually meant that as more of a slightly self-deprecating praise of your work, but you're absolutely right there. (also, I've never read Gunnerkrigg Court. Might add it to the list. That guy was actually inspired by Fukuro (http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Fukuro) from Fairy Tail (with some substantial modifications) ^^)

Shading on wood elf is good, but those are some LONG arms. :P
Oh god. You're right. Bah, too late to rectify, now. Next one will have t-rex length arms to compensate :P

Anyway. Today, in "Karhell sucks at time management", I couldn't get the swan maiden done in time, so here she is, a day late :

Besides their missing a finger, they don't look that misshapen to me :)

Chimera was done in time, but a mix of terrible bandwidth and hard to access scanner conspired to prevent me from uploading >.<

allow me to refresh your knowledge of floof anatomy

this is also why wet floofs are notoriously difficult to recognize

EDIT: ... it is only now that i realize what you actually meant with that, good job me

@Shook: The Floof now has both image and body. Long live the floof.

....can I have one for Christmas?I suppose it might disagree with the woof, though.

Well i mean i have considered the idea of submitting the floof to a plush toy designer, but couldn't really find the right place to do so. :v

@karhell: SPHINXBOOBERS

...

YES OKAY WHY NOT. I'd probably draw more tits if i didn't have annoying anxiety issues, because tits are nice. Good job lasting through the whole ordeal! :D

also I MADE IT TOO WOO
