Inktober 2017 |OT| New ERA, same old ink

Prax · Oct 29, 2017

I didn't even know this thread existed yet. Guess it was hiding in hangouts (which is SO CROWDED already!)
I got nothing to show. I am bad at any obligation arts like Inktobers (which is why I made the daily art thread lol), but good luck to everyone!

EDIT:
what a great top page post via me lol
ok, i "inked" and flatted this today and have to finish shading tomorrow :D That kinda half counts!

Yay glad to see Inktober made the transition. Raging Spaniard thank you setting this up. Also so cool Frenden is here I use his Clip Studio and PS brushes mostly.

These are some of my pieces from the most recent week:

Glad to see everyone here, not sure how I missed the thread as I've been looking for it in the past few days - must not have paid enough attention!
I hope it's okay if I post my own stuff, even though it didn't gain much traction in the old place. I hope it'll still interest someone out there over here!

I started Inktober late this year, and I'm doing a videogame heroines ABC theme, with a few personal rules in place to practice some specific stuff and know where I'm going. Here's the full series so far, and here are the two latest, #21 and 22, L for Lohse and M for Mission Vao:I'm about halfway through the planned characters so far, so it'll definitely spill over November - will it still be all right to post over here, even though it won't "officially" be Inktober anymore?

I have a challenge for you, though it's silly for me to say so since I'm so far behind.

Your art is obviously very practiced and professional, but one thing I notice is that your heroines sometimes have similar poses, the sort of pose you'd expect from an action adventure videogame. If you want to try something outside your comfort zone, try a few poses as unorthodox as you can think of -- laughing, chilling on a chair or vehicle, looking skeptical, repairing something.

Caught up enough to just have to do 3 in the next 2 days. O.O We're almost done, guys...

Day 26 - BJ Blazkowicz (Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus)

Day 27 - Scout (Team Fortress 2, Drew Wolf's female merc designs)

Day 28 - Cammy (Street Fighter V)

Hi there! New to the community section here. I didn't expect to find any sort of art OT, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this one here. I've been drawing practically all my life but I kind of stopped in high school and college (context: just graduated college last June) but I've finally gotten back to it and I'm really motivated to improve my art! I'm participating in Inktober for the first time (following my own prompts, though) and I'm trying to draw different things from what I usually draw to get better experience with them. Here are some of my favorites:

Oh, and I suck at taking photos, specifically when they're of things that's on paper. So, apologies for that, hahaha. Anyways, feedback and/or criticism would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to try something outside your comfort zone, try a few poses as unorthodox as you can think of -- laughing, chilling on a chair or vehicle, looking skeptical, repairing something.

Point taken - though admittedly, one of my goals with this was to practice "dynamic action poses", since I feel I have so much to learn yet on that front. I did attempt a few calmer ones, like Chloe, Gobbet, Kumatora, Kathy, Latha and Lexi (along with today's Max), but they're not exactly unorthodox either, and it's true my choices do tend to default towards more standard actiony stuff lately. I'll see what I can do about that moving forward, I already have a few planned on that note.

For now, here's today's: Max Lao, from Technobabylon. Couldn't manage to get a properly clean scan this time for some reason, so the right part is a bit muddled, sorry :-/

Finally, here are two new ones from today. I copied the lines upside down in pencil, and then inked looking at the drawing right side up.

Reproduction of cartoon dog drawing from The Illusion of Life, art for Inktober 10/19/2017, about 25 minutes.

Reproduction of cartoon dwarf drawing from The Illusion of Life, art for Inktober 10/20/2017, about 50 minutes.

I'm not sure why the dwarf was so difficult, but it was getting VERY late at night by the end and that probably didn't help me stay in the proper mental groove.

Day 16, Fat.

I really didn't know what to do with this one.

Ultraviolet Mexican said:
Thanks! I do use some felt tip pens, typically Microns or Staedlers. I used prismacolor warm grey markers for the greys. Not familiar with Tria pens and blenders. Do you use them?

Ha yeah, I meant markers, sorry. We sometimes use the same word for felt tip pens and markers in french, and I chose the wrong translation.

And to answer your question: I used to do greys with Tria markers, but they were horribly expensive. Fantastic to use on the right paper though. I should try some Prismacolor. I've been missing that stuff.

Galkinator · Oct 30, 2017

You guys are awesome! Love this thread so far

ExMachina · Oct 30, 2017

Day 29 - Ana Larive (Killing Floor 2)

LegendX48 · Oct 31, 2017

Day 30

Decided to use the mask prompt tonight instead of waiting for the 31st.

Camille_ · Oct 31, 2017

Day, uh, 24 I believe:

Quieter poses to come :-D

DM_Uselink · Oct 31, 2017

Oof! Fell behind this weekend since I was out of town. I'm going to need to do 5 more later on today!

Here's 4 more! Ramuh, Funghoul, Chocobo, and DracoLord!
It seems Imgur is working for me (on Chrome) let me know if they are showing up!

Ah gotcha, yeah markers are super expensive. Theres supposed to be a way to refill prismacolor and copic markers cheaply. I need to look into that as a few of mine are beginning to fade. Dope piece btw

Last night's Inktober piece
Virgo Shaka from Saint Seiya. "The Man Closest to God"

I think it looks okay in real life, but very bad in the photo but whatever.

Great Saint Seiya piece, takes me back to my childhood

Vulcano's Assistant · Oct 31, 2017

Done. Was it not showing before?

They tend to fade pretty quickly. This was infuriating when I was an art student: we tore through these markers at a frightening rate.

And thanks! I really like you made the metal rendering in your Saint Seiya piece.

Speaking of PS, did you guys see that every. single. brush by Kyle Webster is now free for anyone with a CC account? His packs were getting pirated to oblivion and I loved how he just went "hey you know what? Fuck piracy." and signed a deal with Adobe to make them available to everyone.

Hey I like that line.

Ruffstuff · Oct 31, 2017

I've been far too busy this month unfortunately, but I did manage to get 16 pieces done in the end.

Here's a few of them:

The rest can be found on my Instagram page.

Nice! I was worried, they would limit our art threads!

Here are the rest of the inktober images for this year! It was great seeing everyone's work here and at the other place!

FFNB · Oct 31, 2017

Final Inktober piece from me this year. I wish I had been able to contribute more this month. Rushed drawing of Omni-Man from one of my favorite comic books: Invincible!

Okay, just one more: Cuphead!

Nice, I feel more relaxed already!

FFNB · Nov 1, 2017

I only quoted mine because the images were so huge I didn't want to spam the page with gigantic pics!

Ultraviolet Mexican · Nov 1, 2017

I finished this up last night. It took... some time

Haha that they are! Im mostly digital outside of inktober but I was really interested in trying to see what I could get done with markers.

Thanks, been trying to use dry brushes for texture. Seems to work well enough!

The Kyle Webster brushes thing is cool. So many people flipped shit. They came off as entitled imo. His brushes were always super affordable and dude deserves to make money on a deal like that.

Okay, thanks :-) I'll leave them unquoted for now, and if that's an issue, well, I'll change my evil ways :-D

Haha, I hope you do - and what about this next one?

Figboy said:

Fair enough - but I had a spot of trouble seeing them on mobile, which is too bad as they're all pretty ace!

Ultraviolet Mexican said:

Dang, this looks fantastic, I'm in awe.
I've been sticking to my single brush pen to try to learn one single tool at a time, but seeing all this marker and thinner tip work is making me itch to use some!

For now, here's the next heroine in the series:

awilliams213 · Nov 4, 2017

It was fun to see ART-GAF's contributions for this Inktober. My personal goal was to not just hoard my sketches but to make a little book with them for family and friends. Thanks again Raging Spaniard for continuing this thread from the other side.

Kickmaster Kim · Nov 4, 2017

Ooh I like her hair.

Would there be a thread like this for 2019?
