Why carouse when you can just have a good soak when you get back to town?

Left to my own devices, I tend to draw elves more fey with huge ears and bare feet and less star trek Vulcan with slightly pointed ears and stuffy demeanor

Day 9: Paladin

Not all paladins look like crusaders, some look like robot gunslingers with a machine gun arm.

"Sleep".

Technically the prompt for yesterday, but I decided to go with it today...

Black and white ink drawing of Ricki sleeping in a dark cave, with a campfire that has gone out. Glowing eyes watch from the darkness surrounding her.

That's cool - sounds like a shout out to Lythande from Thieves World. They were an adept of the blue star...

Is the blue star a thieves world reference? Was that from a chart or did the player pick that?

Day 8: Sleep

Decided this one should have a little overlap with one of my favourite games of all time.

I managed to do #Inktober yesterday, but didn't have the energy to properly scan it to get the colours right haha.

But here it is! "Rune" - done with liners and markers:

#art #shadowdark #drawtober2025 #eyeofdakess

Ink image of mostly black and white, showing a rune on a wall in the shape of an eye. A hand moves over it, activating it with purple magic.

Something very big and nasty dropped from the ceiling to interrupt Ricki's dungeon delving adventures.

I need to practice my hatching way more, I had forgotten how fun it was to stick to strictly black and white. Day 6 and 7 of #shadowdark #drawtober : Ooze and Obe-Ixx.

black and white drawing of a small humanoid 'surfing' on a shield atop a large wave of ooze being expelled from a door. Other shields hang on the wall.

Black and white illustration of a floating armored humanoid, seeming to hover several feet above the ground, backlit by a sun or moon, bats flying around. In the bottom of a composition there's a black ziggurat.
