      Took the time to flesh out a character I came up with a while back. I inked this traditionally in one shot so I wouldn't worry about overthinking the challenge. Had a lot of fun with this one! SaigoCharacterDesign.jpg

                  Here is my second Frost Pirate character sheet. This guy has a pet penguin who I love. I have to say, working out these illustrations has really been helping me flesh out the characters for writing the book. I think I may continue doing this for character in future novels!FB_IMG_1632620755146.jpg

                        Hello! This will be my first participation and I was wondering if it's ok if my characters are in black and white, but I used an old yellow paper as a background?(texture in digital) thank you πŸ™‚

                              All the artwork everyone is posting is super great!

                              It's been a hot minute since I posted anything. It felt I was just grinding at life for the better part of a year so it was time for a vacation πŸ˜› So I took the last 2 months off and figured I'd jump back into the fray for Inktober.

                              Here's a character I got some inspiration for and after some concepts I ran with it (among other things I just kept making the hat bigger and bigger lol). She's a kind of interdimensional sprite that can draw and paint creatures or objects into reality. For a few thousand years old she's pretty naive, but a lot of fun to hang out with.

                                  Hello! Omg so many cool works here 😍
                                  It will be my first participation to a contest, so I wanted to share it with you first.
                                  I was inspired by folklore creatures/monsters around the World. My idea was to find a monster that scares people and make him cute and less scary. What if not all monsters eat humains? The work is made digitally but I will try sometimes to draw it traditionally during inktober. Wish you all good luck for the contest and also a strong mental health for inktober πŸ˜„ 😬

                                  Not sure yet how it works here, sharing my ig link text

                                    Here's my take on the classic witch & kitty duo! (Great minds think alike, huh? @Lisa-Clark πŸ™‚ )

                                      @K-Flagg This is amazing - I love Squashly (& Poe) so much! That ribcage is particularly spectacular. Best of luck in the arena!

                                            Oh i see a lot of great entries here!!
                                            So i decided i would like to participate last Minute and i came up with Jim. He is a little skeleton who looooves to go on a ghost hunt.

                                            I know the character has some flaws in the anatomy but i am a bit proud that i made it in time in only 2,5 days.
