Inkling - my Inktober project
-
Page 7. I know I timed all of this, but it feels funny to be in the middle of October and not even remotely mid-way through the story....
-
Page 8 - this is the first page where I feel my inking has gotten slightly better....but it may get worse again
-
Looks good....:)
-
Page 9 - now I am halfway through the story!
-
And the big bad, woefully time-consuming central spread....took me three days of drawing (back in September) and one full day of inking...
But this was the image I had in my head that triggered the whole story three years ago...so happy to have it out of my system now...
-
@smceccarelli Beautiful!!
-
It is such a huge project to do all of this! I'm enjoying the story you've created, and wondering what is going to happen next! My main thought (not as a critique but just as an interested reader of the story), was after he saw the first creature come to life...when he started drawing more bizarre creatures, I wanted to tell him not to do that - maybe would better to test the theory by drawing a cute kitty cat, a huge chest of treasure, a pot of cash (or a pretty companion even!)... but then that might not make such a fun story
So I will look forward to seeing what happens, after the ink goes down the drain!

@smceccarelli It's looking great. Love the story.
-
The last three pages!

Congratulations on finishing such a mammoth project! You must have had enough of inking for at least a few days, now
It is a very clever story, beautifully drawn and I've enjoyed finding out each day what happens next! I was pleased that at least he tried to do something sensible with the ink by drawing a lovely lady companion...then I was worried for him...and what a bittersweet ending. I like that you left it ambiguous. Great job
-
Congrats on finishing up the project! Great ending.

@smceccarelli What I loved best about your story was that I did not predict any of your next pages along the way - one of my favorite unexpected bits was that he slept on the floor and was not in any way a cad - I loved the gestures of the cat and what he added to the narrative of each panel too - a fantastic and sad story - this is a really great piece of work you have made!!
( I hope you are working on a book of some kind) -
Wow! Amazing story. Very simple yet captivating!
You reminded me of a storybook I had when I was little, of a young Chinese boy who finds a magic brush and every finished painting of his will come to life.
I would love to see more work like this!
