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.

My only fandom activities in October were for trickortreatex, which is...due to reveal soon?

I did a reasonable amount of Inktober and then fell off the face of the planet because I had a week-long conference late in the month. I did a ton of quick portraits of people at the conference, though, so I was drawing, just not to the prompts! And I did some more fencing sketches (very specialized interest, I realize, LOL).

I'm continuing work on a personal Tarot project, mostly in watercolors and sometimes in inks, and wondering if I'm brave enough to do art Treats for the Wrapping Paper subchallenge of Yuletide.

Since Oktober is all about the regualr practice it sounds like you did very well!

Wait, what, what is this thing I‘ve never heard of? IS Yuletide for artists now too???!!!

It's an optional side challenge that people can opt into and all art gifts have to go into the Yuletide Madness collection because they don't meet the main challenge requirements by definition. (Well, unless maybe you wrote a comic that had 1,000 words in it?!)

There isn't really a moderator for the subchallenge as such--rosefox reposted the challenge from last year by copy-pasting.
