Inktober 2019

As well as Merlinktober, I also did my usually daily doodles in October, but using the Inktober prompts rather than my usual Doodle-A-Day prompts. I got a few days behind because of my Merlin Inktober sketches. But got caught up last night:

Merlin Inktober 2019 Masterpost

This post is still a Work In Progress, because I'm trying to get my art scanned in. So it will still be a few days before they're completely up to day. But all the art is based on the BBC Merlin prompt list, that we called Merlinktober. Here are previews for all my images, which are linked to my DW posts for the full images.

Doodle-A-Day September

Wow, is it already October? Where there hell did September go? And what am I going to do for Inktober. Decisions, decisions. I think that will require a separate post.

Looking back on September, I at least completed my Doodle-A-Day page (below).



But I can also count the following fandom successes:

The rounding up and closing of Merlin Kinkalot, with some reflection with my fellow mods about what we would do differently if we run it again next year. I posted a few of my bonus challenge non-anon entries (Horizontal Tango, immanis engorgio). The rest will stay anonymous forever, mwahahaha. I also did one of the Camelot Drabble challenges and posted an update to Clouds and Silverlinings, my Victorian Merthur AU.

I'm hoping to be a bit more productive this coming month. But we will have to see it time and my muse are on my side.

Doodle-A-Day August 2019

August 2019's doodle-a-day spread in my bullet journal:



I need to take a better, more in-focus picture with a better light source, as per usual. But this will have to be a placeholder for now.

Other things I've been doing in August include running the new Merlin porn fest: Kinkalot, which is now in the last week as we wait on voting on the last challenge to conclude. It's been a big challenge and a lot more work than I had originally envisioned. But I think that people have enjoyed it and there was a nice level of participation and a bunch of new works for the fandom, so that's a win/win.

Doodle-A-Day July 2019

So I decided in order to keep doing a bit of art every day, it would be a good idea to utilise my bullet journal and have a 2 page spread in there to draw a very small picture each day. I figured that should be doable without being too much pressure.

This is the end result:


I'm relatively happy with how they turned out. There's a few duds in there. But overall, not terrible.

ART: For SIL - Non-fandom

Not done much lately. Still working on my fic for Reverse. But tonight I made a card for my SIL which was a nice change of pace.

WIP Art: Frostbite - Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (Merlin)

I've been working on making a piece of fanart for this fic for my friend as a (very, super-duper late) Christmas present and as a thank you for writing so many pieces for the Winter Knights fest which really helped us fill some slots in the fest on weeks we were running a bit sparse on fic/art.

I started drawing it in December before stopping with it for various reasons, mostly not being sure how to move forward with it. Here's the pencil draft that I scanned in:

Art: Mother's Day - Non-fandom

Got some chalk pastels the other day, so I figured I'd give them a whirl to make a Mother's Day card for today.

Just for Fun and thoughts and things

Got a tablet today, been having little mess around with it.



One thing's for sure I have a very long way to go with it. But going to watch some tutorials and things. Plus keep having a play with it. Currently using Krita as my paint programme.
