Inktober 2019 Pack
The vast majority of these Illustrations, except for Day 16, were completed in under a hour. I missed a few days around Canadian Thanksgiving, forgive me :X
I missed a few days, and a lot of these were inspired by my fandom of various things, but regardless please enjoy! I tried to use traditional media brushes in Procreate for most of these, but for some I couldn't help but hop outside the box a bit.

I really enjoyed this process, though it was quite challenging some days. Please leave a comment if you like anything, I'd love feedback and advice!
Thanks so much for looking!
Day 1 - Ring
Used a lot of splatter and spray paint brushes for the first experiment.
Day 2 - Mindless
Mindflayer! Ilithid! Playing with more of a pen and ink graphic style.
Day 3 - Bait
A more playful style study, I liked the idea of a selfie-hungry merman sitting on a gigantic hook and attracting all the sharks.
Day 4 - Freeze
Went for a more comedic, light style with this one.
Day 5 - Build
I've seen some cross-section art before, thought I'd try extrapolating a bust out in a similar fashion.
Day 6 - Husky
I didn't want to just draw the dog breed, so I interpreted it as a big burly blacksmith!
Day 7 - Enchanted
One of my clients at time of posting is a youtube channel called "The Dungeon Dudes" which has a pretty active fanart community of the characters in the campaign, I wanted to give the Dungeon Master (DM) some love too.
Day 8 - Frail
A tattered, rotting rope bridge across a great chasm.
Day 9 - Swing
Technically this would be more of a "slice" but still. I freely admit this one ended up rushed! Fanart of Inosuke from Demon Slayer.
Day 10 - Pattern
I really like the mirroring guides in Procreate, I was still staying black and white at this point.
Day 11 - Snow
I had missed this day originally, so after I finished 20 I doubled back to do a variation on a theme, with different brushes.
Day 12 - Dragon
I'd already posted this on Artstation but decided to use it for this day on instagram, because I was really happy with how it turned out.
Day 15 - Legend
Ancient Hieroglyphs from a lost civilzation.
Day 16 - Wild
This is probably the piece I'm most proud of, it took about 5 hours, lots of working the media brushes back and forth. I learned a lot working on this.
Day 17 - Ornament
Saw a bunch of people hanging things on antlers and other nouns, I practiced with the mirroring in Procreate on this for the starting composition.
Day 20 - Tread
I love the snowy regions of Red Dead Redemption, and take a lot of reference screenshots there! I really enjoyed painting up this one, it's one of my favourites.
Day 21 - Treasure
Dragon not included.
Day 22 - Ghost
A spooky cave with some dreamcatchers seemed fitting, I was also inspired by artwork from Dishonored 2 depicting legends and lore.
Day 23 - Ancient
I imagined an ancient, immortal prisoner deep in a cave.
Day 24 - Dizzy
I like boxing, but I also wanted to try to work in a interesting perspective, and it was fun to design a buff female coach for our losing fighter.
Day 25 - Tasty
Used some colour because I was missing it by this point.
Day 26 - Dark
Inspired by Silent Hill 4 - The Room
Day 27 - Coat
I'm super excited for Cyberpunk 2077, so I did a study of the coat featured in the game. This one has alternates! But I went with the first design.
Day 28 - Ride
Imagined a twist on the classic commuter trope, I did a mashup! I really enjoyed doing the early morning light and the disinterested scrolling from our cowpoke.
Day 29 - Injured
I really miss Undead Nightmare from the first Red Dead Redemption, so I did this as an homage/fanart of what that would look like with Arthur Morgan.
Day 30 - Catch
I wanted to do some photo reference practice for one of these, so I used a screenshot from Red Dead Redemption II, of which I have probably hundreds.
Day 31 - Ripe
So rare, so fleeting!
