Day 4 of #inktober2026:
Cactus. #Inktober
Is it perfect? No. Am I satisfied with it? No, I already know a number of things I’d do differently if I did it again.
But I don’t hate it, AND I learned something making it, AND making this one made me want to make better ones. I’m calling this one a win.
Day 5 of #inktober2026:
Smack. #Inktober
Bonus: I tried doing a simpler version that captured the slightly Haring-esque aspects of the stick figure and the handprint, but I overdid the flatness of the fingertips (which was mostly unintentional in the first one) and I don’t like the finger spacing as much, even though the fingers are more regular.
Also, I just kind of like the messiness of the first try? That’s a new feeling. But something about that feels more like "art" to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Belated day 6 of #inktober2026. Running a day behind, feeling very tired, and I truly had no ideas in my head that weren’t Shrek.
All the same: ogre.
And because I’m very tired today, all I have for #inktober2026 today is a nerdy minimalist visual pun.
Panic. #Inktober
@jwisser and you were afraid to do this. You’re only 4 days in and you’re getting better and better. This is GREAT! 👏👍🥰
@gedeonm Oh, I’m still absolutely terrified. 😅 Tomorrow’s prompt already has me panicking.
@gedeonm Also, if this one is any better, it’s entirely because I stole ideas from some of my favorite works @EricMartin made when I was a kid.
@jwisser I like the flatness of these fingers better personally, more stylized, more distinct. This is great.
@gedeonm There’s definitely something about that stylization that I want to try to play with more.
@jwisser That’s fun!
I don’t make any promises, but I hope to be back to something a bit higher-effort tomorrow. 😩
Another belated entry for #inktober2026:
8 - Stinky. #Inktober
And another. Not sure if this one’s gonna land for anybody. This may be one of the conceptual ones I mentioned. 😅
9 - Ram.
@jwisser this could either be your last vision before being rammed by a bull, or maybe a battering ram.
@bigzaphod Could be a battering ram existing in a weird orangey space! But I was going for a ram’s eye. 😅
10 - Mystical.
I’m not sure "make a magic-lookin’ circle" really aligns with the intent of Inktober, but it’s what I felt like doing today so ✌️.
@jwisser Oooh, neat!
11 - Rescue.
This one is lazier and lower-quality than I’d like. Also I don’t want to talk about the orientation and placement of the words.
I’ll do better tomorrow.
@jwisser nice one!!
