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.

Hey everyone! October was very busy (like last year). I did a post about how my challenges went (and are going) here.

I got a lot of art done which was great but I hope I can keep up the energy to finish my ongoing challenges and to keep motivation to start the new ones!

Some things: minoanmiss already posted about Art Yuletide which was great fun last year. Also there are opportunities at perfect_duet to make a small contribution for their advent calendar.

Some pieces I did unrelated to Inktober:

My Due South Bigbang pieces went live, here is the masterpost: https://mekare.dreamwidth.org/103744.html

I did an extra Diefenbaker with gold ink: https://mekare.dreamwidth.org/104174.html

I finished an older watercolour piece of Mon-El, and did a portrait of Daredevil's Karen Page: https://mekare.dreamwidth.org/104856.html

Non-art:

I stared watching the new series of Doctor Who but I'm taking my time. Also watching Daredevil season 3 which I like a lot. I finished the audiobook of Call Me by Your Name (which is a Yuletide fandom this year! Yay!). I also made a resolution to read my unread books... started on a recent purchase of Annie Proulx whopper Barkskins. I really liked the cover and the summary.

I hope everyone is doing good and there were no challenge related burnouts this year! (last year was bad for me).
