Inktober 2018 - Day 27

Twenty-seven entries down; four to go! All the work (and fun) ends next week. On the other hand, NaNoWriMo begins next week as well! When one door closes, another opens.

"Inktober" 27: Thunder. Based on the Stone Giants from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Terrifyingly awesome and awesomely terrifying scene! This doesn't do the scene justice at all.


"Disney Inktober" 27: Ocean. Not the first time I've shown Ariel in scuba gear, but fun all the same!


"Fantasytober" 27: Manticore. The scorpion tail is an epic fail.

Inktober 2018 - Day 26

Twenty-six entries down; five to go! I can count on one hand the number of entries I have left. Well, fifteen if you count all three prompts, but whatever.

"Inktober" 26: Stretch. Based on Tramp's morning stretch from Lady and the Tramp; you can really feel his body stretching and almost hear the bones snapping. Every morning, I'm like a bowl of Rice Krispies after you add the milk, especially if I worked a night shift the night before. For that matter, I've been popping my back and neck since junior high. It used to drive my dad crazy and my mom and siblings always cringe when they hear me, even when I tell them it sounds worse than it really is and it does do me some good.


"Disney Inktober" 26: Live Action. Practically perfect in every way! I can sing just about every song from this movie.


"Fantasytober" 26: Zombie. Never liked zombies. Never cared for stories about zombies or zombie apocalypses. The only zombie movie that I'll willingly watch is Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.

Inktober 2018 - Day 25

Twenty-five entries down; six to go! Time really does fly when you're having fun, doesn't it?

"Inktober" 25: Prickly. Yeah, my idea for this prompt is real original!


"Disney Inktober" 25: Hiro Hamada. I've yet to watch Big Hero 6 all the way through, but I just had to draw Hiro facepalming. I've got this strange fascination with facepalms.


"Fantasytober" 25: Cerberus. This is one pooch you DON'T wanna pet!

Inktober 2018 - Day 24

Twenty-four entries down; seven to go!

On a side note, I scored an interview with Hobby Lobby today. It went well and I think I made a good impression. I've yet to know anything for sure (they still have quite a few interviews on their plate), but I should have a solid answer by the end of this week. It wouldn't be the end of the world if I didn't get the job (I wouldn't get more than 27 hours at a time anyway), but it would sure be nice if I did.

Now, then, "Inktober" 24: Chop. Nothing great about this piece; kind of boring, really.


"Disney Inktober" 24: Sci-Fi. I didn't like Atlantis: The Lost Empire that much as a kid, but now it's awesome! I love Milo, Kida, Dr. Sweet, and Mole, and I'm totally like Vinny. I share in Vinny's snark and sarcasm, and I compare my job in the deli to his job in the flower shop: "And everybody, they come! Where is it? When is it? Is it made fresh? It's a nightmare."


"Fantasytober" 24: Leprechaun. Head for the hills, lads 'n lassies; 'tis the attack of the earworms!

Inktober 2018 - Day 23

Twenty-three entries down; eight to go!

"Inktober" 23: Muddy. Drew this in five minutes flat. That is one happy little piggy, eh?


"Disney Inktober" 23: Romantic Couple. This was a tough decision. I love Disney and I'm a hopeless romantic, so naturally, I like more than one Disney couple! There is something soothing and mesmerizing about this song, and dancing under the stars...you don't get much more romantic than that.


"Fantasytober" 23: Chimera. I got just one word for this: RUN!!!

Inktober 2018 - Day 22

Twenty-two entries down; nine to go!

Official "Inktober" 22: Expensive. Never trust Ann Lactantius with a budget! Never assume that just because you have all the money in the world (or all the money you could ever need), you can splurge it on anything you want at any time. Many times, Ann buys things just for the sake of buying them. She, along with her side of the family, truly believes that money (and a ton of fancy stuff) means happiness...and she finds out the hard way that that's not true.


Disney "Inktober" 22: Rodents. I decided to go for a slightly lesser-known, less-celebrated rodent, Roquefort from The Aristocats. I always liked him; it's nice to see cats and mice get along for a change (likely enough, the Aristocats are too "sophisticated" to chase mice, so Roquefort knows he's safe around Duchess and her kittens), and he's just so darn cute! Sterling Holloway's voice is a nice touch, too. And that scene with the cracker never fails to make me hungry.


"Fantasytober" 22: Dryad. Not much to say about this one, but I like it!

Inktober 2018 - Day 21

Here we go with day 21! Almost there! Must think like the Little Engine That Could! I think I can...I know I can...I thought I could...

Day 21: Drain. Ever have one of those days where you just feel like somebody pulled a plug on you? I sure have!


Disney 21: TV Shows. Oh, boy, did my siblings and I DEVOUR this show when we were growing up. Most of the details have faded from memory by now, but the theme song has never left me. For that matter, there are many shows from my childhood which I can no longer recall very well but I can sing their theme song in a heartbeat. Whoo-hoo!


Fantasytober 21: Satyr. Some people see a faun and a satyr as the same creature. I see these creatures as quite distinct. I see satyrs as bigger, stronger, and hairier, with lengthier, curvier, sharper horns, and overall, they're a tad less friendly! May want to keep your distance!

Happy Heavenly Birthday

Happy heavenly birthday, Grandma. I bet you’re every bit as stunning up there as you were down here.
