Inktober 2018 - Day10 Flowing

Todd! Hang in there! We're only one third through Inktober!
Nothing like bringing back my good old friend, Todd, for some frog torturing fun.

Inktober 2018 - Day09 PRECIOUS

Inktober 2018 - Day09 PRECIOUS
If this doesn't give you a heartwarming feeling, I don't know what will.

I just wanted to do something different then what seemed to be an overload of Gollum images for today's Inktober prompt word.

This image was Inked with a Tombow WS-BS pen brush and colored with Copic markers.

Inktober 2018 - Day08 STAR(r)

Inktober 2018 - Day08 STAR(r)

Fortunately, Brian Epstein convinced Richard to stop wearing dickies and using giant keys as drumsticks. As a reward, Brian gave Richard one of his rings, which started a whole new obsession.

(PS: I made this whole "Dickey" story up. I felt so bad when several people wrote to me saying this was an interesting story they never heard. Fake news! Sorry . . . was just joking around because his real name was Richard (aka Dick) Starkey. So "Dick"-key . . . get it? . . . nevermind . . . )

Inktober 2018 - Day 04: SPELL

Inktober 2018 - Day 04 SPELL.
I like really stepping out of the norm, and here's a great example.
(Don't think you're going to find many other dancing vampires for today's Inktober.)

I was originally going to submit only my hand-drawn images for Inktober 2018. But now, several days into this, I'm going to go back to the digital format that I used for the past few Inktobers.

Full color sans Text

I'm basically using a font to help create a cleaner and consistent look instead of my handwriting. To me, it looks and reads better.

The original inspiration for this image was from an envelope with my doodles on the back

Inktober 2018 - Day 03: Roasted

My quickie image for Inktober2018 for Day03 for prompted word: ROASTED

Thought Process: I'm cheating a little. The prompt word immediately made me think of an image I did several months ago of a coffee mug design for my wife.

I wasn't happy with the way the mug came out, and my wife would often ask, "Is that supposed to be me?" I believe it was the way I drew it, and google eyes, and the blank stare that didn't make me completely thrilled with the original final image. So here's a revision of that image.

Inktober 2018 - Day 01: Poison

My quickie image for Inktober2018 for Day 01 for prompted word: Poison.
Thought Process:
I basically thought of a poison bottle. That's it.
Also posted a real-time video of drawing this image on IGTV. About 6+ minutes long. LINK
