Mondaily with more snow, #Inktober, and other fun things

[ellenmillion]

Woke up to a few more inches of snow this morning. Driving conditions in town are apparently appalling, but it's cool enough here that it's not slushified, and I don't plan on going anywhere. (Which is nice, because seriously? Since I've been a 'stay at home mom,' I stay home WAY less than I used to.)

Nine of the eleven coloring book files are off to the printer - four of them for actual copies and five for proofing. Steam Dreaming, I'm still waffling over - I did page attribution differently for this one than I have the newer titles, and while I DO want them to match, I don't really want to have to re-do everything, either... and I don't have some of the information I'd need to do that. So. Still waffling. Suspect I'll do some middle-ground and mostly change it to the new style. I also have a color file I could use for the cover now, but I didn't actually set that as a stretch goal. (And it's spendy to print in color!)

I'm all-in for Inktober - 31 ink pieces in 31 days! Craziness!

The first isn't worth showing, but the second is a piece I finished for the Zombies coloring book yesterday:


(Original is for sale, $75+ shipping.)

And the third I quite like - I doodled it watching Continuum last night:


(Original is for sale, $20 includes shipping worldwide.)

Guppy and I are playing playdoh right now; which entails her making pizza for everyone to pretend to eat. Later plans include playing in the snow, baking cookies, and a nap. Will I finish the coloring books today? It's possible...

Love the art!

Oh man, those are great! Love the details on the zombie one ("chainsaws monthly", heee!) and the rich texturing on the ACEO.

I really wanted to do Inktober, but since I'm gonna be traveling/visiting family for most of the month, I figured it wouldn't be a good month to try it. I will be cheering everyone on from the sidelines, though, and maybe trying to get a few ink pieces finished of my own!

I may have had a tad too much fun on the zombie details... :P

You can modify your own Inktober goals, if I recall. Maybe try for one a week or something?

I like the idea of Inktober.

It's a lovely idea! Rolls off the tongue. :)

Did you get the Torn World email I sent last week? Trying to follow up on things! :)

[wyld-dandelyon.livejournal.com]

e-mail? I better go look for it.
