Inktober day 31- Award
Now the final drawing for inktober, had a few different concepts in my head before settling on giving Kirby the best boi award. Makes sense seeing as Air Riders is around the corner.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day31 #digitalart #kirby #fanart #kirbyairriders

Kirby getting his award for being a good boi. once I narrowed down what the award was for, originally was going to give it to Bulbasaur but due to already making plenty of pokemon art, I wanted to do something different. That's when I realized I haven't drawn Kirby for a good while so decided he's earned himself an award for sure. As usual, these were fun but kinda exhausting to keep up with on a pretty strict schedule. Hopefully one day I can do art more regularly and so I can do these challenges more regularly. Important thing I've learned is I'm at a point where I don't think I'll improve much more until I learn better techniques from other, more accomplished artist.

Inktober day 30- Vacant
I decided to draw the animal that in my opinion, has the most vacant expression on its face known to man. Although mine seems to look less like there's no thoughts in their head and more like thinking about... the war 😐
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day30 #digitalart

Turtle I used for reference had red irises and looked like it had a mild intent to kill. Mine on the other hand looks like it's seen more than one turtle should ever see in its lifetime and is currently trying to clear its mind of any thoughts in order to escape those memories ._.
but regardless being someone who had turtles for most of their life, I stand by thinking they are some of the most vacant looking animals in the world.

Inktober day 29- Lesson
Wanted to take a moment to express how much I've been enjoying Digimon Time Stranger and my OG favorite digimon. I've now added Gaomon to my faves but Patamon will always be best boi.

Inktober day 28- Skeletal
Decided to commemorate another gaming moment I remember having, where I met the giant skeletons in Elden Ring for the first time. I believe I survived, but just barely 🫠
#Inktober #Inktober2025 #Inktober2025day28 #digitalart #fanart #eldenring #eldenringart #fromsoftware

the Giant skeleton from Elden ring getting ready to fire its eye laser on someone who was JUST TRYING TO EXPLORE A NEW AREA >:(
I'm honestly not a big fan of drawing skeletons, they are REALLY complicated to draw. thankfully the one from Elden ring is very big making features easier to see and its still readable I feel even if some proportions are off. Really got to study how to draw a better skull which I'm really happy about.

Inktober day 27- Onion
If someone thought I could go through an art challenge without fusion, you'd be wrong 😃
fusion of onion knight Siegfried from Dark Souls and onion knight from Final Fantasy.
#Inktober #Inktober2025 #Inktober2025day26 #digitalart #darksouls #finalfantasy #onionknight #fanart

Siegfried the Red Onion Knight, a fusion of the Final Fantasy Onion Knight and the Dark Souls Onion Knight. While drawing this I could honestly picture this being a fusion in Yugioh if Final Fantasy and Dark Souls ever colabed with each other. Might come back to color this in in the future and add a more flattering background.

Inktober day 26- Puzzling
another theme that gave me some trouble. Had to ask for some ideas cause the best I could think of was a puzzle box. this style of drawing I'd like to redo again with more time on my hands.
#Inktober #Inktober2025 #Inktober2025day26 #digitalart #surrealism #surrealart

Inner machinations of my mind. Person in the image isn't based on anyone specific, more so just a generic character though the elements from their "mind" are basically what are in my head.
I did something like this when I was in college as a drawing exercise and had fun with it before. honestly its nice to do something like that again and I wouldn't mind trying this again in a few years.

Inktober day 25- Inferno
For this I decided to kill several birds with one stone by drawing the Halloween skin for Wukong from Predecessor (formally known as Paragon). Fun game that should have more attention on it.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day25 #digitalart #fanart #Wukong #Halloween

This skin is called Infernal Wukong and is 100% a reference to Hellboy, down to the broken horn with glowing firey tips, plus the staff which is basically volcanic, feel like it hits the theme pretty solidly, even if its not the textbook definition of inferno

Inktober day 24- Rowdy
This may have been the hardest theme to come up with an idea for. I ended up settling on my OC going full gremlin and tearing apart a house. is it their house? 🤷
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day24 #ocart #digitalart #oc

My oc going gremlin mode, tearing apart a house cause he can. sometimes you get tired of being nice, sometimes you just wanna go ape shit. lookin a bit angrier than I was going for but still feel like it gets the idea across

Inktober day 23- firefly
I already knew from the start I wanted to draw something that was a literal fire fly, ended up going with something similar to a dragonfly.
#Inktober #Inktober2025 #Inktober2025day23 #digitalart #fantasy #insectart

A fantasy fire fly, designed more like a dragonfly with fangs and the ability to release fire from the end of its tail. They release fire in small bursts as a mating display and defensive tactic against predators.

Inktober day 22 - Button
Initial thought was something involving a sewing buttons, but the memes were calling to me and I had to answer. Gave me a chance to practice perspective drawing at least.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day22 #ocart

Its the button meme using my oc. specifically the version that has Dr. Robotnik / Jim Carrey pressing the button.

Inktober day 21- Blast
Very simple, decided to commemorate the first shiny I ever found in a pokemon game.... still mad about it to this day, Golem is one of my favorites 😔
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day21 #digitalart #pokemonfanart #pokemon

a bit hard to read without color but this is my experience with a shiny graveler I found in the cave system in pokemon Ruby as a kid. First ever shiny, lowered its health wasted several Ultra balls.... then it exploded.... I was so mad I shut my game off on reflex ._.

Inktober day 20- Rivals
Was honestly worried I wouldn't be able to finish this before I had to go into work (especially after not being able to get to sleep 🫠). just barely managed to squeeze it in but sad that I don't have more time to work on this.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day19 #ocart

My OC vs a rival who obtained the power of Fenrir, clashing with their sword and claw weapons. Spoiler, this is why hes got the hologram wolf head on his shoulder. If it wasn't for the lack of time I would have loved to flesh this out more. honestly will likely pick this up again when I don't have a time constraint and do a more full picture of the entire scene.

Inktober day 19- Arctic
Somewhat different than normal, I came up with this on the fly, no time to really play around with the design. Basically its an ice mace that created a frozen sword blade from freezing the water in the air.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day19 #fantasy #magic #weapon

a powerful ice mace that has frozen the air around it into a blade made of ice as strong as steel, but with the ability to recover damage by freezing moisture in the air that touches the scratches made in the ice, restoring that part of the blade.
in combat when an enemies weapon makes contact with the actual mace, it freezes itself to the enemies weapon, keeping it in place as ice forms around the weapon. if the enemy doesn't let go their hand will also get frozen and eventually get frostbite.
While the mace/sword is in its resting place, it freezes the land around it for miles, causing cold environments that reach the air around it and create a permanent winter in the area.

The only reason the wielder isn't frozen is due to a curse put upon them by the mace where they tolerate cold as if its room temperature, but lose the ability to withstand any kind of heat, thus being forced to forever live in cold environments.

Inktober day 18- deal
took a page from my oc lore I came up with and drew it.
basically this a "in the center of the mind" kind of scene where he obtains the power of the monkey king.

Inktober day 17- Ornate
The idea for this one was to draw a luxury pokeball version 2.0. or rather a luxury great/ultra ball. love the luxury ball but always disappointed it didn't have better versions.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day13 #digitalart #pokemon #fanart #pokemonfanart

An upgraded version of the luxury ball, with ornate gold designs on the ball to make it feel extra fancy.

Inktober day 16- Blunder
When I read the theme this is instantly the kind of scene that popped up in my head.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day13 #digitalart

One employee sleeping at the controls of a machine meant to transport toxic chemicals in a factory and another employee knocked into a vat of toxic chemicals due to a malfunction caused by the first guy not paying attention.

Inktober day 15- Ragged
For this theme I went with a worn old sword. I've tried to draw worn ancient swords in the past but never quite felt like they hit the mark I was looking for. This one feels like an improvement.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day15 #fantasy #digitalart #fanart #sword

An ancient sword worn down by time and extended use. Once had hand guards on each side of the blade but now only sports one on the front, possibly still attached due to it being made tougher as it would take more of a beating in combat.

Inktober day 14- Trunk
Nice thing about this theme is the versatility of the term trunk. even a luggage trunk is versatile enough that I can draw a fantasy style treasure chest and it still technically count as a trunk 😎
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day13 #fantasy #digitalart #treasurechest

The design of this trunk is sort of a combination of a fantasy treasure chest and one of those elaborate storage trunks with puzzle like locking systems in place to keep thieves out. for this one you have to:
- figure out the angle on each of the two pins to release the straps on the case
- figure out the dial code at the bottom to release the mini compartment for the 4 sided pin lock key
- turn the tumblers that will allow you to spin combination lock above the keyhole freely
- put in the combination to fully unlock the case
- THEN you need to pull the string tied to the two horns at the top together to unclasp the chest lid from the bottom.
- finally move the weights down to each of the horns to keep the string fully pulled in while lifting the lid
if this is not done it will trigger the locks to reset and you'll have to do everything all over again (aside from get the key. the straps will have to be put back in place and you'll have to find the new places the pins are set to).

Inktober day 13- Drink
I enjoy drawing flasks/bottles for potions and such so this honestly has been my favorite theme so far. Design is a bit simple but the challenge doesn't really allow for a lot of ideation time for me.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day13 #fantasy #digitalart #potion

The design is sort of a cross between simple potion and a whisky bottle. Because of that I could see it be either in a fantasy setting, maybe both making it sort of "magical alcohol". I would like to revisit this design, but at the same time with more time I think I would have made something more extravagant. Though I still think this is one of my best potion/bottle designs.

Inktober day 12- shredded
Worked on my ability to draw muscle definition by drawing a weird eldritch being of pure muscle. I feel like this really helped my understanding of the matter.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day12 #scifi #digitalart #monster #conceptart

Simple design for a muscular monster. I've seen similar stuff like this in media (particularly from the mirror SCP and the music video for Mr.Fear) but nothing quite as buff as this design. keeping it simple allowed me to focus on figuring out the muscles better and in the future I hope to be able to apply this to more complicated designs.

Inktober day 11- Sting
I had a lot of ideas for the sing concept, but I couldn't nail down anything I liked. I ended up trying to draw Sting from Lord of the Rings.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day11 #fantasy #digitalart #thelordoftherings #fanart #sword

Sting (the sword that Bilbo and Frodo use for those who don't know) from lord of the rings. I tried to do my best with the swords details but at the end of the day I was NOT going to attempt to draw out the elvish design/writing on the blade, so I went with my own sort of design.

Inktober day 10 - sweep
Initially I was thinking broom, but my mind drifted to a "tail sweep" concept, particularly close up shots of Godzilla's tail came to mind and wanted to try to capture that feeling.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day10 #scifi #digitalart #kaiju #conceptart

A insect like dragon monster with hard outer wings like a beetle and a long powerful tail it uses to bludgeon enemies with and long horns near the back of its head. possessing 4 eyes to more accurately pin point targets, one set made to catch movement while the other set is made to catch details. combined they can accurately read detailed movements better than most high speed cameras.

Inctober - day 9: Heavy
Continuing the sort of Yugioh card inspired designs, Here is what would be an equip spell Hammer, so heavy it loged into the top of a mountain not by magic, but by the sure weight of the hammer.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #InktoberDay9 #Yugioh #digitalart

A hammer. Lodged into the top of a mountain, possessed by the dragon deity of strength. Something like Excalibur, but you have to prove you can actually carry the hammer before it gifts you with its power.
I plan on fleshing this out in the future including giving it a proper card effect, but in the meantime this is what I got.

Inktober day 8- Reckless
For this drawing I wanted to try and replicate the kind of art you'd see in early Yugioh spell/trap cards. If I come back to redo this drawing, I'd likely make it into a spell card.
#Inktober2025 #Inktober #inktober2025day8 #conceptart
#yugioh #YuGiOhMasterDuel

Two soldiers fighting, one taking a glancing blow in order to make a lethal blow on the enemy.
As a spell card for Yugioh, the effect would be this:
quickplay spell card
"using this card activates two effects:
- Destroy one monster card on the enemies side of the field
- the monster on your side of the field with the highest ATK loses 1000 ATK. if your monster's ATK becomes 0, destroy your monster as well. This effect persists after this card is removed from the field."

Both effects can not be negated by any monster effect and the second effect can not be negated any card effect.

If the leaks for Pokemon Legends Z-A are to be believed, we should be getting mega starmie. So before that's revealed I decided to try to do my own interpretation of what it might look like.
