October Illustration Contest: Halloween Meets Inktober
-
The Samhain was a Gaelic festival that celebrated the end of the Autumn (31st October - end of the harvest season) and start of the Winter (1st November). For the Gaels, during the Samhain the boundaries between the living world and the spiritual world were thinner and they had to offer food for the spirits to get their blessings for surviving the winter. It seems these young Gaels managed to be blessed by the god of nature himself!
During the Roman Conquest of Europe, the festivals celebrated by other cultures were converted and Samhain became what is now known as Halloween.
Watercolour, and ink!

This is just a house full of monsters... they are all looking at something but we don't really know what. Happy Halloween! -
Here's my submission - a halloween parade!
EDIT: I'm traveling away from home and this was the best image of the work I was able to post last night. Working in traditional media this inktober has been a great experience (frustrating at times, but I've learned a lot!).
For this one I used a limited palette of Ampersand inks and discovered sepia ink pens! I was trying to go for a more subdued palette than I usually use. Hope you enjoy!

Ok, I hope I submitted this right!
