Admin Post: Community Check-In for October 2018

[goss]

So, it's been a couple days since October (and Inktober) ended. My apologies for the delay in our monthly chat post. 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 November and the coming months ahead, and so on.

Inktober

[goss]

I knew going in that this month was going to be a busy one, so I decided to concentrate my Inktober efforts on the first week of the month. I'm pretty happy with all the pieces I produced over the first 7 days.

For the next 2 weeks, I got the idea to do mini drawings daily to create a larger composite image. I like that it took the pressure off me feeling like I had to execute a fully realized concept every day. I took my time with details and textures in certain areas, but did stream of consciousness type doodles for the most part. Not too bad overall, I thought.

Real life got in the way for the last half of the month, but I'm glad I at least made an attempt and was able to contribute to the collective in some small way.

I absolutely enjoyed seeing what everyone else was producing each day. It was wonderful seeing so many different takes on each prompt. I am in awe of those who were able to produce artworks every day this month. Hats off to you! Also, congrats to all who helped start the challenge off with a bang! It was so much fun that first week especially. :D

I am definitely taking that idea of combining prompts into a whole to make Inktober a bit easier next year.

Yep, that‘s my favourite part. And the interpretations of the prompts. :-)
