Halloween Continues to Approach

My only regret this Inktober is that I didn't make more of an effort to get involved with other artists on it. The competition and inspiration from comparing to others' work is hard to replace.

But there's only one week left of this, and the rest of my life (you know, stuff like being a wife and a mom and keeping the house together...not-so-small stuff) is starting to catch up with me.

Getchya caught up on Inktober thus far:

Day 20 - Bats and a kitty

Day 21 - Witch's kitty

Day 22 - My kitty (this one is alarmingly accurate to real life)

Day 23 - The mask I wish I owned and would wear EVERY DAY

Day 24 - Haunted Forest

And there is a lovely Autumn storm brewing up outside. It's perfect: overcast skies, gusty winds, gold and yellow leaves whipping past my window. Aaaah. Life is good.

Sure, nothing else is getting done in my life, like...at all, but this creative momentum feels good.

Another Spooky Scene Completed

It is finished.

Nevermore!

All it needed was a small book, but it REALLY makes the difference.

The design is all over Redbubble, TeePublic, and DesignByHumans.
I'm not sure which I like better: the straight white on black, or the cut-out placed on any color background. Do you have a preference?

White line art on black



It's probably better to have more variety than less, so I guess I'll be updating Redbubble tomorrow.

In the works right now: a graveyard scene, a grim reaper scene, and maybe (probably) some black cats. Lots of black cats. Black cats friggin' everywhere.

ALSO:
Inktober Day 5

Following the "witch in training" theme

Spooky Backgrounds are Fun To Do

Cuz he needed a background:



I guess I should give a shout-out Thank-You to my sister Good Moe-Jo for teaching me how to digitally paint an AWESOME looking full moon. (click the link, check out her comics - they're adorable and hilarious)

This spooky picture WITH awesome background can be printed on notebooks, phone cases, and other things on Redbubble or Design By Humans

And it's the first day of Drawlloween and Inktober!!!

GAH!

I'll get on that right away, I swear!

(digital ink counts for inktober, right?)
