The Face of Twee Indie Folk Godhood

Day 30: (Head) Gear:  A bit of a stretch for the prompt, but horns and antlers and other types of ornamentation in animals can be called “headgear.” Another redraw; I intended to ink a pen...

Day 27: Shell (Western pond turtle)

Day 26: Ego. Research done on magpies indicates that they can recognize themselves in a mirror, which shows a level of self-awareness previously considered exclusive to humans and very few other ...

Day 17: Salty (I really just wanted to draw a pelican, but needed to meet the prompt. Check and check).

Day 5: Flame (yeah, not sure what’s happening with this, but there is a flame).

Inktober is almost done! So, here are all the days that I haven’t posted yet (including today). All of these were started on the correct day of the month, but I just haven’t finished most of ...

Day 24: “Fairy” (Superb fairy wren) Day 25: “Temptation” (not super interested in this prompt, so I probably won’t ever render this drawing). Day 28: “Camping” (Steller’s Jay, in...

I’ve still been working away at Inktober, and have at least started a drawing every day this month. I’ve just been negligent about posting them. So, here are a few of the new ones!  10/19:...

Day 14: “Empty” Western pond turtle hatched in my lab a few years ago.

Day 12: Forget. I decided to do something ghostly for this prompt. I added “Never” before Forget, and did an illustration of one my favorite ghost stories: “She Moved Through the Fair.” A...

Day 13: “Kind.” This illustrates the word in two different ways: first these are different “kinds” of animals. And maybe we can consider symbiosis a way of being “kind” to one another...

Day 11: Eagle. Yeah, that’s not an eagle. It’s a red-tailed hawk. But this is another re-draw. The older drawing, done in actual ink on actual illustration board (WEIRD haha) is something I d...

Day 10: Crabby. Not totally in the mood for this prompt, so I did something simple and a bit silly. I mean epic LOL.

Day 9: Nest. Super happy about the way this is turning out. Clearly, it’s not yet finished haha. But these are some Australian Darters that we saw when we were house-boating on the Murray River...

Day 8: “Match.” I decided to add “Death” to the front of today’s prompt, so I could justify this Battle Royale design. I’m not sure who’s going to win. Well, actually … I suspect ...

Day 7 (Trip). These are Psilocybin mushrooms, which should be self-explanatory haha. 

https://heretherebdragons.tumblr.com/post/697524817092591616

Ah yes. I’ve hit that point in the month where I realize how much I hate pen and ink, and would much rather be doing these illustrations in pencil. This is INKtober, though, so I’m pushing th...

Day 4: Scallop. Went in a different direction with this one. Not that I don’t love bivalves, but I didn’t feel like drawing one. So, instead I did another re-draw - my interpretation of a sna...
