@monkeymintaka I did it last year. If you have a story already written then it’s set up to get a full dummy plus a couple full color pages done in one month. I don’t have a story written this time but im working on it. Lol.

@Aleksey that sounds awesome! Love the card game art idea.
@Heather-Boyd I think it comes out on the 1st of September. If you sign up for the inktober email list or Jake's email list he has already sent it out early. Hey, and making consistent art everyday is an awesome goal.
@Coley surviving is hard work! It is totally hard to keep with it. Don't stress, you got this! I think I am settling in on what the calendar can be. Probably just a print vs a scene. Wouldn't that be cool to have a collection of a monthly card to give someone. So that would come from the calendar month art. Who knows.
@chrisaakins good luck! I like that this is a cool marketing tool for selling prints. It's another way for people to take interest in our art.
@burvantill Good luck with that! Can't wait to see it evolve!

Heather the list is out for peeps on the e-mail list! Otherwise I think it's released to the rest of the world in a few days. E-mail listers got it a week early and I think that was maybe four days ago I'm guessing
-
Okay I tend not to check my emails all that often and I have two accounts right now. I will look into it tomorrow.
Thanks everyone who answered my question.
-
The list is out already??? I thought it came out in October. No wonder some people seemed so well prepared last year!
I've been doing daily brush pen warm-ups before painting for a few months now, so hopefully this year will go smoothly.
My plan for this year is to dedicate a lot of time to it and do a full 31 day series with repeated characters on toned paper (which I need to practice with a bit in September).If anyone wants a bit of September pre-practice, we're dedicating the daily challenges that you see some of us post in the "Virtual Studio" thread to Inktober prep. PM myself or @Braden-Hallett for an invite to the Discord server we use.

@Braden-Hallett Sounds like a wonderful (and ambitious) plan. I liked it when Jake did a continuous image in one of the past years. And you're so organized in doing the warming up with Inking 2.0, planning-and preliminary sketching.
I haven't identified what I want to work on for the big event quite yet.
-
@Aleksey Great idea. Do you have a "game" in mind for the cards? A style of imagery to use? I've been in a different group for most of the summer, and quite a few folks were working on card-themed things.
-
@Susan-Marks yeah i think mine are going to be a mix of items and objects and stuff interacting with silly characters.
What other group? If you dont mind me asking

@Aleksey Sequential Arts Forum “SAW”. They’re focused on comics, graphic novels and graphic memoirs. Less structured than here, more process focused. Small group. I’m enjoying them as a nice addition to the great community and classes here.
