Inktober 2020 - Who is joining?

[franzvanderlinde]

Who is participating? Have you managed to do it? I never did more than 10 drawings, but this year I am organizing and sketching all in advance so I can make it!

[DasIstWunderblyat]

I think many are withdrawing because of the plagiarism controversy

[MrTwennysebben]

Didn't the guy actually copyright the hashtag? Like, are you serious dude?

[Freemints30]

doing goretober and kinda making like maybe a 30 page comic series of unrelated images

[IndigoShirtProd]

I think I'm not doing it because, I really don't think I have the time this year.

[nathanKmcwilliams]

I'm gonna do it because I have time to do ink drawings during my lunch break. Even if they don't look great, I still wanna try my hardest.

[VibrantFox]

won't be participating in parker's inktober due to his plagiarizing the work of a black man and his lousy copyright scheme so I'll be seeking alternatives and starting prep sometime next month. If all else fails there's always huevember

Yeah I'm peacing out on Inktober this year. Gonna be doing OC-tober instead and actually doing promotion for myself instead of Jake Parker's brand (especially with the drama he's throwing over there.)

[EmmyPax]

I did it last year, but I don't know if I'll have time this year. Plus there's the whole plagiarism shenanigans that makes it awkward this year.

There are a lot of other Inktober style challenges popping up that might be fun to try, but it's so frustrating that Inktober is unlikely to ever be what it once was. The wide net that it cast and brought together was so awesome. I was actually considering doing an Inktober focused on doing a quick sketch of my comics characters each day this October, but now I dunno.

Too much drama and shady stuff surrounding Inktober, so I think I'm going with OCtober this year.

[Coati]

Probally will do OCtober this year, because meh Jake Parker and all that controversy

[EmmyPax]

I wanna do OCtober, but I'm a bit worried the hashtag won't work super well, since upper and lower case letters are treated the same for most hashtag searches and there are going to be plenty of people just uploading pictures of fall leaves/pumpkins since it's the exact same as the ordinary name for the month.

[rajillustration]

Yeah it'll probably get a name update right before the update as like #DrawThatOCtober or something (but shorter and wittier.) There's also #drawtober which has always had a pretty big following.

[CurryXSake]

I'm participating! It'll be my second run. I want to see how much I improved compared to my 2019 run. I just hope school won't bury me alive by then

[BeautifulDoubt]

I'm just gonna hit random on my playlist and draw whatever comes to mind for the song that day.
I think 15 is the max ive kept up with

[CodeMonkeyArts]

Leaning towards doing OCtober or Goretober myself this year

[EmmyPax]

Same here! It would be my second time too, if I do it. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA will I have the time?????????

[ExodusGuard]

Thinking about doing Witchtober this time because of all the Inktober controversy. Witches are my favorite so that's an easy one.

[CurryXSake]

I somehow completed Inktober last year. I want to continue that completion for this one XD. I hope. XDXDXD

[alliascompany]

I think he just trademarked it? But still, seems like he didn't mention to anyone about it until after the fact
