Drawlloween 2015 by Matt Cipher on 2015-10-01 19:42:00 UTC Reply

So, here's a fun little challenge that I've stumbled upon. I call for evey aspiring cartoonist, professional artist, or back-of-the-notebook scribblers like me - let's do the Drawlloween!

The challenge is simple: Every day, for the entire month of October, you are tasked to draw one "monster" according to the chart below. Technique, style and presentation is completely of your choice. Let's post our creations in this thread (One thread for one artist).

Anyone interested?

Might as well give this a try. by SkarmorySilver on 2015-10-02 04:59:00 UTC Reply

A silly little ten-minute Photoshop scribble, inspired just a tad by The Cabin In The Woods and its creepy lamprey-mouth-for-a-face girl.

The Sugar Plum Fairy (that really is what they call her) was pretty creepy, wasn't she?

Huh. The image in the first post no longer works for me now. Weird.

Anyway, for Oct. 2: a devil. Let's see if my HTML fu is better this time.

For Oct. 3, one goblin. If the image doesn't work, go here.

For Oct. 4, a very fancy vampire. Got a bit of inspiration from Adventure Time and Marceline. If the image doesn't work, go here.

In case you hadn't guessed, I'm getting a little annoyed. I've been able to post images to the board just fine before now. This must be a browser thing, since I can see the image on both my normal and mobile browsers (Safari for both).

Try that. If that doesn't work… sigh. Just go here.

What did you add? by PoorCynic on 2015-10-02 06:25:00 UTC Reply

I don't see anything different.

If this is because you can't see the image, I also posted a link to the deviantart page in a response to Wall-Jumper. I feel I should mention that I can see the image in my original post.

I don't see anything, and the link gives a 404. by World-Jumper on 2015-10-02 04:05:00 UTC Reply

You might want to check on that.

It works for me. by PoorCynic on 2015-10-02 04:09:00 UTC Reply

Strange that it is not for you. Try this link as an alternative.

... nicknamed someone's rabbit Ceremony, for the sole purpose of making repeated jokes about 'let's not stand on ceremony'. I think Eyeball is in good company.

Though for some reason, she just reminds me of Heather Dale...

(Question: since there's only 2-3 people still drawing, do we want to create a new thread when this one gets bumped off, or keep posting on the old one, or abandon the concept as far as the PPC Board is concerned?)

I'd like to make a new thread. by Iximaz on 2015-10-09 16:53:00 UTC Reply

Even if there are only a few of us still drawing, other people might still like looking at your pretty pictures and my silly lineart.

This is the cue... by Huinesoron on 2015-10-09 17:00:00 UTC Reply

... for a dozen people to jump in and scream 'YES WE LOVE BOTH YOUR PICTURES WE WANT TO HUG THEM FOREVER WITH OUR HUGGING ARMS'.

Or, more reasonably: maybe more people will join (back?) in when we repost.

(Still got three more threads under us, anyway)

I wasn't really aiming for sarcasm - I was aiming for 'joke'. But I was doing it on about five hours of sleep, so I may have missed?

Though I admit, on rereading, that 'hug them with our hugging arms' sounds like a very Wobbles thing to say.

Yeah... by To The Scapemobile! on 2015-10-09 22:57:00 UTC Reply

I'm more than a little bit fragile at the moment, for which I can only apologise. It just felt a bit like you were having a go at people who, like me, tend to do stuff like that. I know it wasn't your intention but, well... still hurt a bit. Like I said, fragile grace is fragile, and fragile grace jumps at shadows. I didn't mean to sound so confrontational and I didn't mean any offence. Sorry.

Why am I doing this? by World-Jumper on 2015-10-01 23:26:00 UTC Reply

I have never been able to draw. I can't draw a strait line with a ruler. Then, I make it worse, by finger painting with MS Paint! Why, oh, why am I doing this!?

Anyway, here is my 'painting.'

I noticed too late that my O eclipsed the R. So, yes, I misspelled my own name.

Points to anyone who can recognize who this is.

So, have a doodle of a ghost.

Goblin, by way of 'corrupted elf', with a little bit of 'dance, magic dance' for good measure.

To the best of my knowledge, this marks the first time I've drawn any of my agents in something approximating a realistic style. So there's that.

Day 7: Haunted House by Huinesoron on 2015-10-07 14:50:00 UTC Reply

Entirely hand-drawn using a mouse and MS Paint, with none of my usual copying - or even zooming! I actually quite like the effect.

Day 8: Zombie by Huinesoron on 2015-10-08 13:56:00 UTC Reply

And we're back to hand-drawn head-and-shoulders jobs. My original idea for this involved a full-body image with magical binding glyphs floating around the wrists and ankles. I decided I couldn't be bothered with that, but I did draw one of the glyphs anyway, to liven up the side of the frame.

Also, I quite clearly have no idea what the human skeleton looks like.

Day 10: Alien by Huinesoron on 2015-10-11 08:59:00 UTC Reply

For Day 10 I decided to do a photomontage of everything alien-related that I saw (and could photograph - driving!) over the course of the day.

That turned out not to be very much.

#1: For some reason, our library had bunting outside, one flag of which (the middle one there) was the Alien poster.
#2: RRRRWWWWAAAAWWWWRRRR! At the shop.
#3: Is technically a sea monster, trying to get you to look through the telescope down at the seashore. It's an alien, shaddup.
