Tess's Inktober Comic

[Jon Anderson]

@tessw Thanks for posting yours here so we can enjoy them. As for mine, I've only posted on Facebook and twitter thus far. I just recently joined twitter and have been holding out on Instagram though I probably should take the plunge as I see that a lot of artist are using the platform.

This is impressive! Really nice work, Tess! This is what I hope I can do with Inktober someday--create a continuous narrative. Looking forward to seeing more.

Wonderful work Tessa I think the pictures are strong enough to tell the story-it is very clear what is happening and so well thought out.I look forward to seeing the rest of the story.I left Inktober too late and will never catch up,but I feel I have learned something and I am really just messing about and experimenting with ink so it is enjoyable.

@jon-anderson hit Instagram and auto post to Facebook an twitter. Save time using a hashtag manager app too....or just make a file and copy and paste each time. Think broader than just #inktober.

As for tess.....your work is awesome. I’ll track you down on instagram.

@andyg I just started an Instagram account and I'm looking forward to getting my feet wet. Thanks for the advice!

Hey Tess, Just saw your latest post on instagram and you have stopped the storyline. I was enjoying following along the story. Were you finding it too much to illustrate and write the story? Really enjoying your illustrations...great work on this challenge!

[TessaW]

@elaine-b Thanks Elaine. It wasn't too hard, the descriptions were easy to write- I'm just trying to tell the story in the best way possible. I wasn't sure if the writing was getting too cheesy or excessive. Here's the description I would have put for the last one-

. . .the Gigantic Night-Grinner had awoken for it's yearly feeding frenzy. The village who had been tasked to pay it tribute had been destroyed months before by The Three. And now- what. . . or who would satisfy it's smiling hunger?

I probably would have just left the "Run" illustration without a description anyway.

I'm torn about the description. I think for some days it works, and for other's I think it's better left without a description. The next panel might need a description, because I'm not sure if it will be clear what's happening- because it's an action scene that has to happen in one image. I'll have to think on it more.

This is so ambitious! I love the idea of the sword shattering into shrapnel fairies. You have a great imagination. I look forward to seeing the rest!

[MF James]

[TessaW]

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

[Darian]

Fun stuff Tess! It must be quite challenging and yet enjoyable to do these!

[TessaW]

Moar Inktober. I used to be a day ahead, then I got a day behind, and now I think I'm caught up. I keep having to tell myself "finished not perfect".

[TessaW]

Here's the rest! It was an intense month.

[MF James]

@TessW this is just remarkable--awesome work! Very nicely done!

[Sara Glennon]

You should be really proud of your work. I enjoyed seeing it all unfold and reading the story underneath. It's just a beautiful thoughtful collection!
