inktober Inktober 2021, prompts, pictures and the usual shenanigans.

[Sylverthorne]

Once again, the pen ink calls, inviting one and all to participate.

 

That's right, it's Inktober time, and the prompts are flying thick and furious.

 

Lessee; I've got seven prompt lists handy, and if anyone's got more, feel free to post 'em.

 

 

 ... I got two of these from Twitter, the rest from either googling or following links. 

 

The general rule from the Official Prompt List is 'pen and ink, one drawing a day', but I am certainly not holding anybody to that if they don't feel like they can do it.

I also bravely ignore the 'pen and ink' rule, but I don't necessarily suggest my slapdash 'pick something from a list and go after it with whatever media amuses me' method, either...

Found another one!

[Coffee Nerdery Beer]

Was just coming to see if this was posted. 💜 Thank you @Sylverthorne for collating all the goodness into one place! I wasn't even aware of such a thing before last year; the spawn and I had a great time with the daily inspiration to draw. (Although, since school's back to in-person, she may prefer the less-than-daily option.)

Watch this space for an

 

InkReaperTober

 

list. (Not to be confused with #Reaptober, which is officially being used by Reaper, and which has to do with painting figures.)

 

I’ve been working on it, I have worked out a way to roll 4d10 to randomly choose a model from the online store. 

 

 

That raw roll translates to SKU 14714, which hopefully exists. Stay tuned. 
 

Edit: but it doesn’t. Looks like the numerically closest number is 14614.

 

Edit 2: Renamed it INK RANDOMLY; INK OFTEN. Between my random diceroll producing lots of invalid results and the kludge factor of trying to create it, and capture the graphic on my phone,  I only have about a week’s worth. But it is enough to start with. 
 

See next post for the image. 

There are three ways to use the IRIO Reaper Figures list. [1] Draw something inspired by the description without looking up the number, [2] lookup the number then  try to draw that figure as if it is sitting for a portrait, or [3] third use any of the other tags on the figure as prompt words.

GRAPHIC UPDATED now includes 31 random figure choices

[Sylverthorne]

Cool! Incidentally, for anyone else who can't get the search function to recognise an SKU, that first one is Erebus Nalas. Kind of a dead ringer for the Sorcerer in the Sorcerer's Apprentice, if you don't look too closely. >.>

 

 

ERhem.

After an argument with Corel, MS paint and.. all of that stuff, I finally got this uploaded:

 

Prompts: Familiar, Swift

Media: Ink! Markers, specifically, on .. paper. No, I don't know what kind. 

 

[Sylverthorne]

If anyone's curious, 'Dwarf' today is Borin Ironbrow. Nice mini! His mug might be in today's drawing. >.>

 

Oh, right. That's why I prefer Corel for pre-upload editing... 

 

Day 2 Adventurer's Tea Party

Prompts: Tea, Thread

Ink on paper. 

 

[Sylverthorne]

Today's Rock Troll is the Bones Black promo troll, in all his irregularly faceted glory.

(Yes, damnit, I am going to look all of them up. I'm curious).

 

Anyway, today I actually went for the official prompt list. 

 

Day 3, Quality Assurance

Prompts: Vessel, Honey

Ink on paper (Copics, some abuse of microns). 

 

Have I mentioned recently that you can BLEND copics? You can blend copics. 

Does anyone still cover the tops of their honey jars with fabric? @Pegazus? Anybody?

Mmm.... I'm gonna say no. Straight jars and bottles as I've seen. Wife dolled ours up with ribbons, but that's getting too fancy as well.

[Sylverthorne]

Today's Mini is Ariel the dryad. I'm late...

 

Inktober, day 4. Gaze Upon My Masterpiece!

 

Prompts: Knot, Bread, Critter

Watercolour! on 140lb Hot Press.

 

Don't look at me like that, I'm sure you've all had the urge to run around the house with a freshly baked loaf yelling at people to admire it. 

Ideally, before the starving horde decends and devours said loaf, dripping with butter and honey or jam.

Day One :: Crystals #Inktober 

Day Two :: Elusive Creature #10Embers

 

A Longclawed Pillurtle, inked up as part of #DrawtheExtinct, 1st Friday of each month, during David Petersen's art stream. A Longclawed Pillurtle is a combination of Box Turtle, Crab, and Pill Bug. Colored with Sketchbook after being inked with Micron and Sharpie pens.

made the font even smaller

[Sylverthorne]

Oh, hey! It's the crazy-eyed Owlbear today. 

 

I had a Judgy Kitty overseeing my art today; Enigma elected to be parked in the cavenest while I worked.

Inktober, Day 5. Are You Sure About This?

 

Prompts: Raven, Mouse, Arcana, Lavender

Media: Pens (Sakuras, sharpies, copics, whatever was in the bin..), on 100lb Bristol.

 

I... don't know what's going on here, and, honestly, I don't think I want to. If a bunch of squirrels blow up like furry little balloons, I had nothing to do with it....

[TGP]

The Ink Randomly; Ink Often list is now  updated to include the entire month.

[Sylverthorne]

Today, I am derp. 

 

Inktober, Day 6. Lingering Memory

 

Prompts: Spirits, Empty Shoes

Media: Ink (Copics, Prismacolours, Faber-Castell, Sakura) on 100lb Bristol board.

 

It's been one of those days..

[Sylverthorne]

Yesterday's Ink Often mini was Lathula, Female Barbarian; who promptly went into my wishlist.

Today's is the Bones Clay Golem.

 

Um. If you're arachnophobic, maybe don't actually click the spoiler to look at the picture. >.>

 

Inktober, day 7. This Is As Prone As I Get.

 

Spoiler

 

 

Prompts: Living Curiousities, Prone

Media: Watercolour and ink on 140lb hot press

 

In the long-ago before times, when I was a lot younger and a lot more prone to saying things like,  'well, if they're capable of thinking for ten cents, they're not automatically going to be EVIL just because this book says so!' I created a lot of characters that GMs flat out refused to touch. Xanannae here is one of those characters. 

 

[Sylverthorne]

Surprising no one, there are about a million Hooded Rogues in Reaper's catalogue. It's like none of them want to be recognised or something!

The one on the list though, is Tierce, Male Rogue.   

 

Inktober: Day 8. No, It's MY Bag.

 

Prompts: Watch, Bag of Holding, Cozy.

 

The concept of the Familiar Pocket is one I really like for small familiars. But I can see a larger one forgetting they're not that small anymore, too .... >.>
