People’s Plans for October

[O-1-D]

Since Inktober has garnered some controversy and I know that some people aren’t taking part this year, I’m curious to see what people will do instead. For me, I’m giving myself a challenge to recreate the Simpsons NOLA food tour clip using the main duo of my comic On The Downside. I’m not entirely sure how to go about it but I have September to plan it haha

What’s everyone else doing?

Clip for reference:

I thankfully had made my own prompt list and finished it in time before the uh...controversy happened. So I'll still be posting all my gouache paintings as my list and drawings are all about my novel. I guess I may try and try a few prompts from other people's prompt lists.

[DualDragons]

Nothing, I'm doing a internship atm so I don't have time to do a prompt everyday as opposed to last year

[CommanderMarty]

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be spending October at work and drawing Bounty Turn.

Here's one Inktober alternative I've been seeing artists joke about, do with it what you will

---

I'm no artist, but I'm a writer who's been real affected by the summer heat in California- just, a lot of procrastinating and lack of energy to write, really. I'm hoping October cools down enough so I can feel motivated enough to keep working on my comic scripts more consistently! But we're talking California here.. Sometimes it still feels like summer even in November

Aside from making pumpkin and apple pies? 🥧
Hopefully I will spend time growing love for my comic and learning how to make it more efficient. Also spending some time on the stories I didn't had the time to do before. October has the best ambience to relax and enjoy the process
Don't know if I'll take part in art challenges, but I liked the Joketober prompts the guys are making in the other thread, so maybe something from that list ^^

Making another comic and finishing up my shorter ones. Been working on buffer for three of them, and I'm close to finishing. I should be able to finish them by the end of October.

The new comic will definitely be Halloween-themed. I like me some good old slasher stories.

[LadyN]

Well if Halloween’s trick or treating isn’t canceled, then I’m going to give out candy with my dad. No idea what I’m dressing as but eh.

I was planning to join '24hr Comics Day' gathering organized from nearby college since last year. I've never gone to one and always want to see other comic artists' works in person... but they cancelled the gathering this time. Guess I'll always have next year. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ So I just gonna working on my comic.

Surviving the start of the school year and writing my books.

I'm thinking of doing Drawtober, its a few prompts spread out over the month and they all hit me hard in the Halloween bone alternatively, I really want to work on a mini comic or two now that ive smoothed out my routine for my main comic. Idk yet, but October is looking nicer than usual this year. Inktober used to stress me out so bad. I completed it one year when I was in college and never since. It felt like a personal failure, like I peaked too soon or something %@*! inktober.

[Kiweevil]

My friend and I are both attempting this one this year. We've never completed an October drawing challenge so this year, we're competing with eachother to see who makes it farthest.

[joannekwan]

I uh … really gotta jam on my Christmas rom-com that I want to debut sometime in Nov.

[Shanny8]

I'm still trying to focus on September...

I do need to sit down and start putting together my ideas to start scripting my Patreon comic that I want to start working on next year.

[oshirockingham]

So, I made an alternative to artists who don't want to do the Inktober, with a little help from @AilyneGouveia, the JOKETOBER Drawing Challenge, where you can draw something silly about your character or anything if you don't have any. Digital or Traditional, it's all up to you! :smiley: Feel free to post your drawing here or any of your social media. Have fun! :slight_smile: [image]

[myumyudapao]

I plan to make a black and white BL comic but I can't even finish my current comic, so uhm..
I always try to join inktober then a couple of days I give up, it always happen yearly ;_;

[VibrantFox]

I'll be looking to participate in these two:

Blacktober

Peachtober
https://twitter.com/furrylittlpeach/status/1301771257210257408

Not going to stress about getting something in everyday and just go at my own pace, especially with how tiring 2020 has been thus far. Just aiming to do something fun and make myself happy.

[Jenny-Toons]

I might also try the slashtober prompts. Hopefully there's some leeway tho, because I'd rather make up my own lore for the themes? Might help out with some story ideas or something.

Anyhow, it's Halloween season, so let's get it into gear, lads, ladies, and ladles.

[WriterLinXiaolong]

I have a halloween project ready to be released on 1st October

I'm probably just gonna pick and choose from a bunch of em--I have no intention of finishing any of them though, I'll probably only do 5 or 6 october themed illsutrations.
