OCTOBER CHALLENGE WINNER! INKTOBER + HALLOWEEN THEME

Diego_BioSteam

Nice outcome!
Congrats to all the winners and participants!
Interesting that the description of the mood/feel of the pieces was made by relating them to a certain artist/studio ("...this one has a Miyazaki feel..." "...Has a little Jake Parker in it..."). Sort of trying to pick up the style being developed by each artist. It would be good to see their influences/references.

@lee-white Wow! I'm very flattered Lee. Thank you so much for picking my piece and the kind words!! I'm looking forward to a free one month subscription! Hats off to everyone, awesome work. I'm pretty new to SVS and I'm glad to part of it. Learning is king!

Congrats everyone - some really great work, and I'm glad to see the ribbon dancing mummy (my favorite) got a mention. That one made me LOL!

@bichonbistro Thanks for that info. I've updated the post

Jen Sweeney

Wow I can’t believe it. Thank you so much for even looking at my piece. First time entering an illustration contest, was so nervous I’ve only just started my journey and am really unsure whether I’m ‘good enough’. Am a new subscriber and have loved the courses I have done so far, thanks for creating such a wonderful learning environment for illustration.

@tom-shannon Congratulations! Super nice and clean inking. What kind of pen do you use? I use an old dip pen and always get blobby lines. I wonder if you have something better.

@marsha-kay-ottum-owen Thank you for the kind words Marsha. I used a #102 crow quill pen nib and a Pilot G-TEC-C 0.25. FYI, the Pilot pen is not waterproof. I used Kuretake Zig Cartoonist Sumi Ink with the quill pen. I've had really good luck with the nib I use, no blobby lines.

@jen-sweeney Congrats Jen. Fantastic work. I like your other samples too!!
