YoinkTober 2020 - Prompts & Grossling Challenge
wavewright62:
Attention all! As mentioned in the Mini-Break and 6th Anniversary thread: October is coming, and with it the drawing tradition of In*record scratch* :o O_O O_o
The originator of the term "InkTober" has disgraced himself, being caught red-handed committing plagiarism in lifting the tutorials of another artist and passing it off as his own. So, we shan't use his term.
*ahem*
Herewith are 31 prompts to use throughout the month of October to inspire you to meet the challenge of a fanwork every day. The original concept specified ink-based drawings, from as simple as a ballpoint doodle in the margins of your work to as elaborate as a colour-registered series of prints. While you can certainly do ink (I plan to), I reckon we needn't be so limited. With so many gifted wordsmiths, we could have those as well. Up to you.
Many thanks to thegreyarea for contributing evocative prompts!
Many thanks also to JoB for contributing the name YoinkTober. It may have been sarcastic, but I love it and am running with it. :mikkel:

It's 1 October where I am, so let's get this party started! :reynir: :reynir: :reynir:
Reynir follows the prompt "Do What Cat":
Grade E cat:
Just out of frame, Lalli is "doing what cat" also, e.g. rolling his eyes at the stupid humans. If I did that right now, I'd be having a nap on my mother's side of the couch and getting dislodged in about half an hour.
Mirasol:
*blows dust off of Copic markers* So the time has come again...
Lovely Reynir! I wonder what Kitty´s reaction wold be upon seeing this... :reynir:
Let me join you, Wave! Today I actually went with the grossling-prompt. (I just really wanted to draw those drapey-things on handsy-moose!)
My old problem of working late in the evening and daylight disappearing too fast has hit again, but the darker photo actually adds to this motive this time, I think, so I´m uploading it anyway.
But for the following days I´ll probably send the drawings (at least the ones fitting the prompts here) in chunks, as I´m not home much and will probably do them somewhere on the go or very late at night... But I promise I´m not cheating! :D
wavewright62:
Re: sending drawings in chunks - i am also considering doing that. It's not cheating at all - a little easier to deal with that way.
Spoiler: showAlso less noticeable when I miss a day. I haven't managed a full 31 days yet, and honestly don't expect to this time either.
Now, let me rave about this drawing, Mirasol! You are correct that the darker photograph helps the atmospherics a bit, but holy frijoles it has plenty of atmposphere anyway! I love the rhythm of the piece, I love the bubble motif, I adore the skulls and the draperies!
What a splendid kickoff. May you have plenty of inspiration but no nightmares this month (at least until you get to Sleipnope, then may that night-mare run free).
