Day 31 (late):
And this brings my Inktober challenge to a spluttering end.

I thank everyone for "likes," hearts, "favourites" and comments during the month. It might not have been a big gesture, but it means a lot when I'm plagued with doubt as I create and finish a piece.
I'm not great at replying to comments and I realised at times I might not have sounded grateful. But thank you everyone for taking the time to look or comment.

Finished not perfect.

* I also posted these pictures on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and DeviantArt.
I got a lot more attention from those sites than here. I guess I still have a lot to learn about Tumblr and Blogger.

Day 30 (late):
I'm a bit late finishing Inktober as a result of the weekend.
I'm not going into any depth with story or description on this one.

Yesterday I received a request for a copy of the Day 29 image (which I happily sent), and I explained more to them about the image and why it was created. After doing that, I started wondering if I had ruined the sentimental value of the picture for them.

Day 29:
As the hooded stranger slayed the last vampire for the evening, he managed the catch the choir finishing a song he enjoyed listening to back in the day.
It wasn't the greatest song in the world, Just a tribute...

Day 28:
I'm falling behind on these now. I was busier than expected on Friday with other art work (when it rains, it pours).

I read that something like 12 million Americans believe alien lizards (disguised as humans) are politicians ruling the country. Depending on where you read it, the report drops the "alien" part, which could suggest they might equally think politicians are rats too, in a metaphorical sense.

Finished not perfect.

Day 26:
A bit of a slow day. I was still recovering after Tuesday's drawing marathon.
I won't say much about this yet because it's part of another project. They are faceless for a reason though. Their faces will be replaced with a caricature in a later project (not in this pose, this is just a build up to it).
I will fix, colour and reposition them later in Photoshop.

These poses are very stiff. The male hero is okay enough, I based it of the Batman and Superman animated series model sheets. But the female hero I keep thinking I could have made her pose more famine (or more like Wonder Woman).

Day 25:
Yesterday I was busy doing illustrations in Castlebar Museum of Country Life. I volunteer once a month with Fighting Words Mayo, a creative writing workshop that works with school children (8 to 11 year olds). Volunteers are given a task that usually ranges from supervising / assisting, presenting the workshop, typing the story or illustrating (that's where I come in). We take two different schools in a day. On this occasion, both the morning and afternoon workshops were from the same school.

In this picture I included some of the main characters from the two story workshops.

I did this pretty quick last night after finishing up the illustrations for the workshop (I can draw quick enough when I want, but adding colour is always a challenge). You can still see where I was going to include a killer clown from one of the stories.
It's pretty much the same as day 20's. So, sorry about that.
