Admin Post: Community Check-In for September 2020

[goss]

Tomorrow's the last day of September, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you this past month?

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in September, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Upcoming Art Challenge

Are you planning on taking part in some version of (?)'tober next month? :)

We'll be doing Drawtober: drawesome's own compilation of daily prompts suggested by our community members:



Our challenge is very chill. You can create drawings daily, weekly or randomly. Feel free to combine prompts. Use ink or whatever drawing material makes you happy. The main thing is to be inspired, and to get drawing! :D

I had a big work project that only just wrapped up, but I did a few things across September.
Art for Brumeier's story (a 'Sentinel' AU, with vampire!Jim)
Three BIPOC portraits - Chadwick Boseman, Li Ziqi (YouTube), and Naomi Nagata (The Expanse)
Crown of Roses Teyla of Athos (SGA)
Ray Vecchio's Classic Italian Cuisine and a digital piece for due South's Ray Vecchio Day.
I have very little RL work on now, so I'm hoping to do Drawtober and have been experimenting with a brush pen and different pads or sketchbooks. It'll probably be brushpen and fineliner drawings, coloured with inks. Not sure if I'll post every day, might be a bit more intermittent.

Oh I really like the colors on Crown of Roses, with the cool background and her being warm just pops out. The last link was the same btw (and I'm now ruining your ability to edit...).
