@Kasey-Snow my first impression says gradients should be fine
OCTOBER CONTEST: The experiment worked! Penny was so relieved to have her dog back from the dead.

ok subject makes me go "eeeeeeeek!" lol
does it have to be ink/b and w or is that just bonus points? I'm confused now lol

@Coley In The E-Mail for the October contest is written:
Since it’s Inktober and all, Jake added a few extra requirements just to get you in the spirit:
Must be ink, or look like ink.
Must be black and white.I am also not inking, but I will do it in my style and go b/w like @Heather-Boyd
-
@MichaelaH oh thanks so much! I'm having problems with my e-mail so I didn't get it. Really appreciate you straightening that out for me!
-
It'll be challenging to make this one unique, I'm looking forward to the results!
A question: Does the image need to only be stark black and white? Or can there be gradients of gray? If I do it in ink, I am tempted to use an ink wash for value. But if that is against the rules, I'd like to know now.
-
I’m okay breaking should I say bending the rules if I Happy at the end. May not win. But I win when I am happy with it. I will probably possibly gradient mine - see how it goes.
-
I am doing Inktober so I wasn't sure if I would be able to do this but I thought i'd try anyway.

The works everyone put out for September were incredible! I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with for this one!
I just want to say that this and the last prompt are really helpful and fun. They provide a good story structure that I think will aid many in getting good pieces for their portfolio.
-
Here's my attempt
P.S. Sorry it's blowing up so big in the forum. Not sure how to fix it.
-
@Miriam Ah, gotcha. Seems like this one seems to not only sets the stage but also dictates a few of the characters as well.
Love your profile avatar, by the way!

@Heather-Boyd, You can do whatever you like. It's more likely to be favored by the judge(s) if it follows the rules closely, but—you never know.
Plus, the ultimate goal is to practice art and create portfolio pieces, so [insert a "follow your heart" sort of thing here
]. Do what works for you. I'm sure it will be fun for everyone to see—whatever you choose to do. -
@juliekitzes, If anyone is having trouble seeing the whole image at once, they can click on the image (I like to open it in a new tab).
I like the way you created the contrast of light and dark areas, & the different textures. Nice job!
-
So here is my submission. Sometimes we don't understand the love between a girl and her dog. Penny knew a thing or two about biochemistry and wasn't going to let little things like death or decay tear her apart from Fluffy.
Done with ballpoint ink and edited a little.

Hey Guys,
Here is my entry for the October Contest. I wanted to try for something a little different. Hopefully, it's not too dark....:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
Thanks for looking and good luck!

The experiment worked! Penny was so relieved to have her dog back from the dead. She had never dabbled in necromancy, but her grandmother had a great recipe.

Here's my entry for the October prompt. I started off with dilute ink washes to create a shadowy scene but then I liked the idea of trying pure black and white so ended up having fun with pattern and texture.
