I have a couple of ink drawings for inktober I'm proud of but they're of nude people (like antiquity nudes/studies, absolutely non sexual and parts are covered by drapes). I know this site is American and they're still uptight about even non sexual nudity (I heard about what they did to the teacher who showed her students the statue of David)...
Would it be ok if I posted them here?
Ok here goes!
I'm doing a "lighter" inktober this year, one drawing for every week in October so I don't get overwhelmed with everything else going on in October. I also watched The Sandman in August and wanted to do some fanart so here's Dream and Death, with Desire being next week's plan.
I haven't worked in inks in a while, especially not this size (A4) so it was fun to get back to it.
@DanielRKM Thank you very much! Until last moment I had no idea what to do, and in a moment of lucidity Koffing appeared in my mind. I thought on a Weezing to level up the difficulty, but it was going to be too much work, and I wanted to read for the remaining part of the night, so Koffing was it n_nU
@moontokkym Your Sandman drawings bring joy to my life! Will you do the others members of the Endless family? Desire and Despair might be hard to find background elements, but that is part of the fun~
@DanielRKM thank you :3 I only know the story from the series adaptation unfortunately, I want to find the comics in English but them being old and me being in France they're hard to find and I don't like ordering books in TwT. The teacher getting fired over the statue was kind of scary, like I know it's not many people who think like that but it's still something that's completely foreign to me, to look at that statue and assume it's sexual.
@Aleksei Desire's already in the plans, for now their background is probably going to be some kind of anatomically correct heart mesh type thing (and probably fluffy handcuffs). I'm working on it.
I can't actually do the entire Endless family because multiple of them haven't appeared in the series yet (though they name dropped Destiny and Delirium), I don't actually know the name of the seventh one TwT and as Despair has only been in the series for 5 minutes I couldn't really get a read on her so for now it's only going to be those three, Dream, Death and Desire.
Colorber day 13 - Yosuke Hanamura.
This was just an excuse to draw him, because I love him. Blessed be the modders that brought back his romance route on the social link, because it was deserved.
@moontokkym You can always read the Sandman comic to get the whole Endless family, besides some other assorted material here and there from DC Comics. For Despair I think that anything that hurt but don't kill might help. Like fish hooks. She has a ring with one that she uses constantly to hurt herself. At least in comic version.
I finally gave this character (Nicky) long hair for his adult design after years of struggling to differentiate his teenage hairstyle from his adult one.
This isn't a sketch by any means, but when I was looking up patterned shirts and suit jackets to put him in, I came across a picture of Weird Al that reminded me of something Nicky would do.

Monday means back to the daily routine, Loomis front view and some quick
sketches, I´m working on a new character for the office. His name is Gilbert
and he is a very subverient kind of guy. I´m not sure how he will look like in
the end, this is just a first sketch of his head. I´ll probably will make his face
rounder later with no chin
And I´m learning the important parts of the skull right now, part 1 of 10
The 2 shows were great, Hamburg is an amazing harbor city, I drank too much and
slept too little
OC_tober prompt 4, meeting a black cat.
Pre-color sketch phase:
Jumping around in time again as we find an adolescent Val being led by the hand by his new friend. I was having trouble materializing her outfit so I took some inspiration from Ramona Flowers (and gave her the messenger bag I miss so much from my college days (even if it did throw off my balance while skateboarding to class)).

running again next year, maybe I´ll go swimming too
Not Eliaz unlocking a new crush. Uh-oh.
Haven't been at the laptop lately or drawn much at all. I had to put my beautiful cat to sleep last week. She was twenty four. I had her since I was ten. I know she didn't owe me a minute more, she had a great life. She came on holidays with me, met my husband with me, moved all over the country. But the facts of the matter don't help. I've lost people before. It always hurts. But this is different. You watch and take care of these little creatures religiously, for so long, always knowing where they are and what they're doing. They're the first thing you see when you wake up and the last thing you see before you fall asleep. You're always thinking of them, worrying. And then they die. You've got this empty little body in your hands, and you have to pass it to a total stranger and watch them carry it away forever, when all you want to do is beg for one minute more. You don't even know why. It doesn't matter why.
I don't know where my girl is now. My worst dreams came true and I don't know where she is. I hear her all the time. I see her every day, but she's not here. I know it'll get easier, it always does. But nothing prepares you for outliving something you don't know how to live without.
