Title: Day 1 - Star (Travelers)
Artist: goss
Rating: G
Fandom: Star Wars
Character: Purrgil
Content Notes: Created for Day 1 of the Drawtober 2023 challenge. Prompt: Star. This is a digital drawing, done in black and white, with colour tints added. Inspired by Star Wars' space whales. :D

Over the past months, I've gotten pretty comfortable using the pencil tool for digital drawing, especially for shading. So for October, I'm switching things up and challenging myself to practice using the ink brush instead.

And here's a 1-minute timelapse video of the whole process:

Thank you! ^__^

Like space tadpoles!

[goss]

Heh. I think the creatures kinda look squid-like, but fandom fondly refers to them as "space whales". *g*

YAY glow! Looks great! :)

[goss]

Thanks! One of the main reasons I decided to try making digital art is the luminous/glowy effect that you're able to achieve. So I especially enjoyed that aspect when drawing this. :)

Glowy and cool! And now I know about space whales.

[goss]

Thanks! ^__^ I only just learned about these creatures in Star Wars lore - they're fascinating.

[adafrog]

Cool.

[goss]

Thanks! :)

I never knew about these guys! Loce it - squid-whales going into hyperdrive!

[goss]

Thanks! :) I'm learning a lot about the Star Wars 'verse that extends beyond the movie trilogies - really cool stuff.
