Inktober 2018 - Day 31 - Happy Halloween!

I did it! I actually did it! Three art challenges in one month...I am awesome!!!!!

That sure was fun, but I'm a little glad that it's over. After today, I'm taking a small break from art, blowing off some steam.

So here you are, "Inktober" 31: Slice. Holy Great Pumpkin, Batman!

"Disney Inktober" 31: Halloween. Two of Disney's best-loved characters, perfect for this time of year. I love The Nightmare Before Christmas, but I swear, you'll hear those songs in your head a week after you've seen the movie!

And last but not least, "Fantasytober" 31: Your Own Choice. A few familiar and friendly faces; some of my personal favorites!

One more thing to say, one last picture for the road, before I wrap it up:

Inktober 2018 - Day 30

Thirty entries down; one to go! Almost there! I'm thrilled and a bit sad at the same time.

"Inktober" 30: Jolt. Tallis may not always pay the best attention, but Romulus isn't above teasing his little brother on occasion. And Tallis is known to pull a prank or two on his big brother, so it evens out.

"Disney Inktober" 30: Villain. I was tempted to draw Frollo or Maleficent, or even the Horned King. But after watching "Night on Bald Mountain" with my family the other night (we indulged in a few Disney/Looney Tunes Halloween episodes), I had it!

Surprisingly, Chernabog didn't bother me that much when I was younger. I think it helped that he didn't appear on the screen for too long, and that they kept him silent, meaning there was no scary laugh or ominous voice. Now I find him (and the whole Fantasia segment) rather creepy, and thoroughly awesome at the same time. I think it's safe to say that he trumps all Disney villains because he really is evil incarnate. All the other bad guys are mere toys in his hands.

"Fantasytober" 30: Demon. That's two demons in one day. And I have to say, this one gives me the creeps; he almost looks like a scary clown, and we all know how to respond to scary clowns!

Inktober 2018 - Day 29

Twenty-nine entries down; two to go! Next to the last of the last!

On a side note, I got to work a double shift today. They kind of messed up the schedule, so one girl would have been left all alone in the deli until the closers showed up. So I worked twice as long as I expected, but this means I get paid twice as much, and the MIT (manager in training) was nice enough to buy me lunch. I didn't ask for much: three chicken tenders, half a pound of potato wedges, a Snickers almond bar, and a Dr. Pepper. That way, she didn't have to spend too much on me, and there's only so much I can chow down in 30 minutes anyway. Of course, I thanked her, and she thanked me for being so willing to stay and help out. Flexibility and dependability go a long way in any job!

Now then, "Inktober" 29: Double. I decided to draw Terence and Rhiella (for the first time in ages) with their twin daughters, Rema and Della (short for Remaliah and Delilah).

Although the twins are identical, it's quite easy to tell them apart. For one thing, they wear their hair differently; Rema's hair is almost always braided. For another, Rema is by far the boldest and most assertive of the two. This means she's the leader, and she has little trouble dragging her sister along, although Della learns to put her foot down and think for herself. Of course, Rema means no real harm and she matures as she gets older, but she'll always have a playful streak. While Rema is deeply attached to her mother, she's clearly "Daddy's girl." She shares a special bond with Terence of which Terence himself takes note, and of course he's there for Della in a heartbeat when she needs him.

The twins are the only ones among Terence's immediate children to inherit his blue eyes, but his eyes appear here and there in the generations that follow. Although Reid is a descendant of Terence's son Remus, his eyes match Terence's eyes impeccably.

As you can guess, twins run in the genes of Terence's family as well. I plan to give twin boys to Tracy (Reid's cousin and Romulus's daughter), Alexander and Andrew.

"Disney Inktober" 29: Thomas O'Malley. Abraham DeLacey Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley, the alley cat from The Aristocats. Easily my most favorite member of the entire movie: best design, best voice, best dialogue, best development.

"Fantasytober" 29: Sea Serpent. Simple, yet cute! I can really do cute when I want to. He'd likely be safe enough to ride, but you might want to bring a scuba tank with you.

Inktober 2018 - Day 28

Twenty-eight entries down; three to go! I'm as surprised as anybody that I'm still going strong after all this artwork. Then again, drawing the picture by hand is the easy part.

Okay, "Inktober" 28: Gift. Pretty simple. Pretty straightforward.

"Disney Inktober" 28: Horses. For this one, I chose Cyril Proudbottom from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. I really like how this turned out!

"Fantasytober" 28: Hippogriff. After drawing several intimidating and vicious creatures, I decided it was time for something more adorable.

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!
