Today's the last day of October, 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 October, 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. :)

I really enjoyed seeing all the creative artworks made for the Drawtober challenge throughout the entire month! Congrats to mekare and mific on all your fantastic artworks! ^__^

I only managed two pieces this month, but they were both quite fun to do. :)

Hoping November will be a bit less hectic...

I am very pleased with my productivity this month! It did help that I had some time off. Next projects: my Nirvana in Fire Exchange assignment and preparations for the Due South Secret Santa! I also really want to finish my second upside-down piece which is at 60% currently.

Loved your pieces this month, I am looking forward to going back to watercolours for the exchanges.

I loved your artworks - wonderful detail! It'd be nice if Nov was quieter, but I seem to emerge from Drawtober and find that it's almost the end of the year!

[mific]

I look forward to seeing both of those. Your Drawtober artworks have been lovely!

Yep, October was busy, busy, what with Drawtober/Botober. I also managed an SGA Tarot pic (The Devil), and a few banner artworks for fics in "Open the Iris", the Stargate Big Bang challenge. Four are posted here, with a fifth and final one completed and just waiting on the title. Complement artworks for the due South Big Bang also posted, but I made those back in September. And there were two Remix Revival art "remixes" - 'Hamster Moloch' and a Witcher one.
I think November will mostly be about more SGA tarot pics, and making works for the seasonal challenges - Secret Santa works for SGA and due South, and a Yuletide fic. At least one thing being in Lockdown is good for is making fan stuff!

I salute your productivity! It is great to see you spending the enforced time at home in creative ways. Is the Witcher piece on Dreamwidth or AO3?

On Ao3. https://archiveofourown.org/works/34340167
