Day 18, Drawn On The Day And Posted The Next Because I Am Feeling Awful And I Didnt Get It Done Before

Day 18, Drawn On The Day And Posted The Next Because I Am Feeling Awful And I Didnt Get It Done Before

Day 18, drawn on the day and posted the next because I am feeling awful and I didn’t get it done before Stupid o’Clock. Today’s prompt was Inuit. This is a Greenland tupilaq. Here is the wiki article on it. 

I wanted to do this one kind of from the very beginning, partly because my sketchbook is full of stupid and angry looking little tupilaq characters designed to look more like the traditional carvings than a shamble of hair and bone and sinew. 

It’s all ink wash with some fountain pen. All of it.

Day 13. I Actually Checked The Number This Time! The Prompt Was Fairy Tale Monster. This Is The Big Bad

Day 13. I actually checked the number this time! The prompt was fairy tale monster. This is the Big Bad Wolf. I stayed away from wet media in order to prevent more paper crinkles.

Day Six Was Zombie. I Kind Of Cheated. This Is An Older Roleplaying Character Of Mine From When I Spent

Day six was zombie. I kind of cheated. This is an older roleplaying character of mine from when I spent every weekend in college playing Scion and World of Darkness.

Her name is Roxy Queen; she is an undead punk rock musician from Houston, Texas, and her dad is the god of death. She was extremely good fun to play back in the day. No one cares if you smoke when you're dead.

Day 11, And I Think My Brown Paper Sketchbook Is Getting Crinkly From All The Ink Washes. That's Okay;

Day 11, and I think my brown paper sketchbook is getting crinkly from all the ink washes. That's okay; I bought it at a hundred yen shop in Nagano in 2008. The prompt was yokai, which is a bad thing, because I am such a huge enthusiast (read: big freaking nerd) about everything yokai that I got distracted in my Mizuki Shigeru encyclopedias and couldn't decide, which is why I ended up doing two of the most stereotypical yokai choices I could manage. This is an uncommonly skinny tengu,  and chochinobake, whom I accidentally gave two eyes to instead of one. Call it unreasonably high expectations, but I didn't manage to pull off my desired image quality here.

I should probably just do a month of yokai next time instead of a monster challenge. It'd get it out of my system. 

Edit: Herp derp, this is 12, not 11.
