Tess's Inktober Comic

[Eli]

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.

Here's another batch.

OMG i absolute love this!!

[IanS]

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]

I really like them!

[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]

wow. Great story. Amazing how you linked everything. Well done.

[Eli]

@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!

[Jason Kilthau]

Wow Tess these are amazing drawings! And I really like the story told and how you were able to do it while also following along with the prompts! I'm just gonna say right now if this were a book I'd be buying it!

I loved too seeing how his sword broke (shattered) but really it seems like it was just a power instead and it came back together afterward, like there is a small side story to his weapon to go along with the main story you drew out.

Out of all of them I really like Long, Gigantic and Mask! Love seeing your work!
