A personal drawing for inktober.. last year, my kitty died, and I’m nowhere near over it. I miss her like crazy. This is based on a picture of me and her before her health declined sharply. I miss you Charlie!

Creepy spirit ladies of the forest for inktober. 

Some decorative ladies for inktober… comfort-zoney stuff. Whatever it takes to complete this challenge, darnit!

Some character art for inktober, featuring my favorite color, because pure b&w just doesn’t do it for me. 

Inktober art for the prompts ‘treasure’ and ‘bait’… aren’t these screaming for mermaid art? Heck yeah!

Time for some #inktober updates! Here’s some of the artwork that I’ve been creating this month ~ more to follow in the coming days! Are any of you guys participating? How’s it going?
