      This months prompt is brought to you by the Inktober founder @Jake-Parker

      The experiment worked! Penny was so relieved to have her dog back from the dead.

      -Must be ink, or look like ink.
      -Must be black and white.

      Couple of details:

      The contest is open to anyone. But the winners and runners up will only be selected from active SVS members.

      Post only finished pieces here. Post WIP projects in their own thread.

      Put your real name and forum name on the image somewhere (can be on a border if you like).

      Good luck everyone!

          @Aleksey I'm sure there would be. In their last podcast they did mention something in the terms of "Design with your audience (judges) in mind."

            Sounds complicated. I’m not sure how I’d solve that and even if I’ll have time with Inktober.

                          Seems a lot more specific than the other themes I've seen so far...

                            -Must be ink, or look like ink.
                            -Must be black and white.

                            Good Luck!

                                @Aaron_T, They've done really specific ones before—it just varies.

                                  I have an idea which I love but I don’t want it in ink, can I do it in pastel for my line and stay in black and white?

                                      @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

                                          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.
