Two weeks of Inktober are complete! ^^

Holy Moly! Something happened these last few days! I went through all my Inktober works, as well as the ones from the previous years, and thought about what makes me feel more confident and what does not. I wrote down three notes for myself - ditch the boxy frame where it does not feel needed,scale up, and go bold with outlines.


I do not know if it was things I noted that made the difference or if some other connection happened in my brain, but I feel these last four shine just a tiny bit more! Maybe the rust finally cleared off of my artsy abilities. Whatever it is, I hope it is here to stay because it is so wonderful when stuff works out this way!

Day 11: Snacks

Sacks - Ink drawing, 21 x 16cm, Inktober 2024

As you probably already guessed, these are some of my favorite snacks. They are salmon nigiri, blueberries, sushi rolls, candy grapes, Fazer chocolate with raisins and hazelnut, Pistachio Mochi ice cream, teriyaki flavored beef jerky, raspberries, and cheeseballs! If you show up with one of these, I will be the happiest alien on the planet! ^^ I might even do a goofy, happy, snacky dance while nomming on those!

C1.png

Here, you can see a few stages of the process. I enjoyed creating these so much and they look more like something I could pick up off the paper! The highlights are highlighting and all that good stuff!

They look so happy, and the blue background probably has something to do with it! Here, enjoy some close-ups!

Day 12: Remote

21.png

Remote - Ink drawing, 21 x 16cm, Inktober 2024

On day 12, the theme was remote. And while this year Inktober seems to be about travel, hiking, and adventuring more, I am always looking for a way not to draw the first thing associated with each prompt. So yeah, no remote island or TV remote. Instead, it is a survey drone! This little buddy goes into places where the environment is too hostile for lifeforms of biological matter. Its purpose is to scout the area, collect data or even samples, and it can be operated manually remotely!

Since it did not need to be too stealthy, like surveillance drones, I used brighter colored inks for its design. And, if something wrong were to happen while out and about, brightly colored drones probably would be more suitable for the salvage teams to find for extraction. Ahaha!

C2.png

The blue ink made it less scary-looking as well. I would freak out if a plain steel version would show up suddenly! It would be a different vibe, for sure!

19.png

I shall name it EBud 01! All those spikes and things are probes for data collection.

Day 13: Horizon

Horizon - Ink drawing, 21 x 16cm, Inktober 2024

On day 13, we landed on the Moon again! The prompt was - horizon. I chose my horizon to be on the surface of the Moon. This was not my first crack at the Moon. In the past, I have painted a raccoon as a Moon, I sculpted a piece of the Moon's surface out of modeling clay, and it has come up in a few drawings, and a tiny painting before. However, so far this one is my favorite! I was having a blast with all the craters and adding the tiniest texture details! Can you tell? It seems moon-like. Right?

Day 14: Roam

Roam - Ink drawing, 21 x 16cm, Inktober 2024

Finally, on day 14, the prompt was - roam. I spent some time wondering what to draw for it. But then wandering trees, treants from Dnd and HoMM, and ents from Lotr came to mind! Yep! That was it! While treants do not always seem to be portrayed as super friendly creatures, I decided that my treat would be this friendly, gentle forest being. He is happily roaming the forest with his bird friend away from the eyes of humans.

C4.png

At the start of this piece, I felt slightly uneasy. I worried if I was getting the features of the character right, but I reminded myself to trust the process. Soon enough, it all came together perfectly!

45.png

I love it! It turned out better than I could have ever wished for!^^ Hands down, it is my favorite thing I have ever created!

I saw ‘Snacks’ in the title and started dreaming of pīrādziņi...

PS. Lieliska kolekcija! :)

Pīrādziņi are great! I wish I could make them better. My mom makes really great ones. I should learn from her and maybe we have pīrādziņi masterclass at Krolestwo at some point?!

PS. Lieliska kolekcija! :)

Liels paldies! Man ir sajūta, ka mans radošums sāk atraisīties daudz vairāk pēdējās dienās. Man par to ir liels prieks! :)

Okey, I fell in love with that smiley tree, and I see it's also your favorite among all your Inktober 2024 kids 😅 This week I've seen a lot of artists doing great quality work like this, I really feel inspired to draw again, but unlike you, I think I am rusty, we are talking about years, I think since the pandemic.

I really liked the first image with all the drawings to date, in fact I really enjoyed the cat, but that day I couldn't stop by to comment, I'm still happy to agree with this post. Happy start of the week! ✌️

I mean, the smiley tree just seems like such a happy character. It is exuding positive vibes! I smile myself every time I see it!

I really feel inspired to draw again, but unlike you, I think I am rusty, we are talking about years, I think since the pandemic.

You should! Before I joined Hive (back then still Steem), I was just as rusty. It will be strange at the start but you will get past it with some persistence.

Aw thank you! Happy start of your week too! And thank you for visiting my blog and taking time to comment! It means a lot.

Is that an imperial probe droid?

also, the tree reminds me of a card I have which needs to lead a Commander deck for Magic:The Gathering eventually.

Let's delve into the Builda whale farm on the Hive, Gogreenbuddy, who is also colloquially known as the Marky mark USAINVOTE UPMYVOTE IPROMOTE PUNKTEAM and 100's more if not thousands this individual has asserted that his intentions behind this initiative are driven by a desire to contribute positively to the community. Now, let's explore what he is earning on a monthly basis from this venture. income is said to be generated through the use of multiple alternative accounts, which he utilizes to cast votes in favor of his own shit content. The community seems to have mixed feelings about this practice many are scared to speak up.

Are you ready to delve deeper into this topic and uncover more insights? If so, let's proceed. It's time to wake up and gain a clearer understanding of the situation at hand.

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues

lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming

There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users

Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Reply to @crimsonclad

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE

The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way

Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL

We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

The Hive Police aka Hivewatchers, are the real heroes of Hive LOL, aren't they?

Feast your eyes on Hive's trending page, what a load of trash

LoL it's the Hivewatchers Hive Police, dishing out orders like a bakery LOL! Folks, do what you want with your Hive power, just as you please. And you, Hivewatchers, downvote away, but remember, judgment day's coming

On Hive, there's a user who frequently burns a significant amount of Hive LOL with his own accounts

How To Fool An Entire Population

it's so, so concerning to see Blocktrades delegating 2+ million Hive power to Buildawhale, and Buildawhale is downvoting legitimate content

We began sharing factual information following unwarranted downvotes on Hive it's all in the transactions

Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content

Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic

We have Hive witnesses farming Hive, self-voting, operating comment farms, and self-funding projects with community resources

Is that an imperial probe droid?

The imperial probe droid is so scary! But you know sometimes I have this thing with my mind where I subconsciously have recorded how something looks like and it comes out on the paper in some ways. So I would not be surprised if some aspects appear similar to some existing things I have seen briefly or otherwise. Like the eyeballs probably looks similar to the imperial droid. At one stage it reminded me too much of BB8 too. xD I have a very visual mind and I remember things visually easily.

also, the tree reminds me of a card I have which needs to lead a Commander deck for Magic:The Gathering eventually.

Oh the MTG is another thing I am trying getting into. Now that I think about it I am so behind most people with games and stuff like that. I played drats and billiards recently, and had the same thought.

I still have not opened some of my Bloomburrow cards! I get excited about opening card packs but some of the more experienced players in my group tell me that I should probably just buy the cards I eventually want.

Opening packs is fun. Building a deck list online and ordering singles is more financially savvy. I buy packs, mostly.

Thank you @fieryfootprints! I had so much fun creating these and I think it shows in some ways. Maybe splitting the week in half in terms of posting was a good idea since it takes some pressure off too.
