Inktober 2018 : Day 29 - Pentel Pocket BrushAs Halloween Approaches It Gets Harder For Leilus To Hide

Inktober 2018 : Day 29 - pentel pocket brush As Hallowe’en approaches it gets harder for Leilus to hide his unnatural features, but in this age of contacts, acrylics and prosthetic makeup he can still hide in plain sight if he chooses his outings carefully. This was originally going to have spot colour, but I ended up having to do it at work where I didn’t have any of my colour pens, so it became a game of ‘how much flat black can I put on this before it becomes an unreadable mess’.

Inktober 2018 : Day 11 - brush inking and ink wash I only have a short shift at work today so I was going to do something more impressive, but I just couldn’t summon the energy. I did try to ink with a brush though. Nettle quite often levitates while she’s reading, it’s her equivalent of fidgeting.

Inktober 2018 : Day 14 - pentel pocket brush Spider trusts Nettle not to drop him, but he still gets nervous when she sends him too high. This is the 5th time I’ve drawn some version of this scene during Inktober, I had to think a lot harder to come up with a new variation this time!

Inktober 2018 : Day 10 - plastic nib fineliner Lena is showing her friends how she can see the future in a bowl of water, but one of them is more on board with it than the other. I haven’t had a full day off work since September and I’m starting to make mistakes in my inking. TT_TT

Inktober 2018 : Day 22 - plastic nib fineliners May-Lee has spent so long being told to do painful or uncomfortable things, she no longer thinks to stop herself getting wet or cold. I had a long day at work, so I’m adding another one to my ‘oops I drew another girl looking straight ahead’ set. I wonder how many of these I can do before I run out of appropriate characters or different ways of inking?

Inktober 2018 : Day 8 - gel pens Violet lives with the Vrega because she was accidentally exposed to a terrible Vrega disease called Black Rot. It doesn’t affect her the same way as them, so she’s not in immediate danger of dying and isn’t contagious, but it does have symptoms. A common one is sudden attacks of nausea and stomach pain, there’s nothing to do except wait for it to stop.
