Zephrun’s Imperium

If you could meet any cosmere character and only ask them one question, who and what would it be? I will take a dare. *braces self* Go easy on me, y'all.

I've only ever drawn one other successful hug before. I always have to use references for them. This was the other hug I've drawn, I think it's a better drawing, actually. It's my discord profile pic. Pretty gorgeous, huh?

Yeah, I missed some of the lashing questions but got almost all the other's correct. Third place, yay!

Day 10: Hope. FINALLY. This turned out well. I'm running low on white ink so Tom's shirt is kinda messy and the hair coulda been better... But dang. For as hard a pose as this is, it turned out pretty darn well.

I got third place but only because of the double points at the end.

I always work on it during seminary in the morning, which is when I do the light penciling and usually get halfway done with the finer pencil. After I get home from school I do all the inking and shading and coloring and often even get started on the next day's art. You know, I've heard a lot of people say they don't have enough time for Inktober. And that's fine, I totally get it. But these drawings get me through the day, they give me something to look forward to and motivation to wake up in the morning. The only reason I've gotten so good at my art (seriously go check out last year's Inktober thread, there is an extreme difference in quality, but not in the love I put into each drawing) is because I make time for it. Y'all, you can always make room for the things you love to do. Maybe not a ton of room, but even like 10 minutes makes a huge difference. Be nice to yourself. Don't let "me-time" get thrown to the side. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Well, that's good, I'd hate it if the 2+ hours I spend on each of these wasn't evident.

Oh boy this one turned out well. Day 9 is Throw and it's the first time Star has shown up in this year's Inktober. About time, right? This is one of those drawings that looks so much better IRL than it can in a photo. There are so many different shades in her hair - I used six different markers for it - and it just looks stunning. Anyway, this drawing is based on what will be the first chapter of CBSS (the novelized version of the Cosmic Battle to Save the Thread). It's Star waking up after Astral dies; she's been "thrown" back into her body. And the gesture. Nothin' too special.

The TLPW chart is my favorite. So freakin' accurate.

You know, in the quote, I described her as creepy, but... Ember is so flippin' cute. Here's Teeth. And for anyone who cares that didn't see it on Discord, I've decided that it's better for Ember to have curly hair and not straight hair. It's easier to draw and it's cuter. More her. Here's the gesture. I'd like to mention here that almost all of these gestures were done a month ago when I was planning for this art challenge. I think that sometimes the gesture better captures the emotion I was going for and/or honestly looks better than the finished product. That's why I'm including them, plus the fact that they're just pretty cool. And one last thing; I'm working on prompt ten right now, so I'm two days ahead. I'm doing this because prompt ten is the hardest drawing I have planned and I want enough cushion time to get that done and have the best product possible. And I gotta say, I am SO proud of the art that I've done. Days 8 and 9 look absolutely amazing and I am confident it'll only get better from there. It's crazy how much I've already learned from this challenge. Ugh, I love Inktober!!

Phineas and Ferb related memes are always great.

I'll request one so you don't have to wait.

Day 7: Fancy. Or, as I like to say, Fan-cay. Today is the first time I'm repeating a character. I drew Tamika (kind of; it was technically Thought) for Wisp earlier. This drawing was inspired by a quote from a story what will be in the final installment of the Keyed Trilogy. I think it'll be pretty clear how they correlate when you read this. Some of my best writing, honestly. I guess it's kind of spoilers? *shrug* I don't think it really gives anything away, in fact I would say it makes things more exciting. "As he drew his gaze away from the drawer, however, he noticed something. A photograph. One he recognized. His eyes widened slightly. “Well, I’ll be. The bastard kept it.” He pushed in the drawer and took his feet off the desk, reaching for the ancient picture. It was black and white and quite small, barely bigger than his palm. The paper it was printed on was quite weathered, but the picture itself was still remarkably clear. How long had it been now since that photo had been taken? So many centuries had passed since that moment, yet he could still call upon the fuzzy memory of that day. He ran his thumb over it, staring for a long moment at Tamika’s face. She was so young in this depiction of her. Not even twenty. Things were so different now. What he wouldn’t do to bring back that version of her. But he couldn't. He looked down and away from the picture, pinching it tightly between his fingers. Tami as she had been was gone. There was nothing he could do anymore. He felt the cold numbness surge around his heart, freezing the memory and making it crumble. He didn’t care anymore." This is actually my second time drawing a version of the photograph from the story. I've had this concept gestured out for maybe two months give or take a week. Not sure which one I like better. One of my favorite things about both, however, is how she kinda looks sad. And the gesture.

@Nathrangking in the spirit of your meme, have you seen my Inktober thread?

Thank you!! I wish I wasn't out of upvotes!!!

In the spirit of making Sharder memes...

@BringerofShadows You didn't ask for a meme, but I'm making one anyway.

We have to take it again? But I won!

Ugh, I missed like 5, I'm so rusty.

I'm Bronze Echidna, playing currently.

Yeah, I still don't think of you as a girl.

Hold up. I only draw characters.

Are chances high that I could have seen what you're thinking of?

I have so many meme ideas, but img flip isn't working right now. Ang I'm out of rep points, agh!!!
