Rain is great, but snow would be nice.

All right, turkey's not even cold yet, but for #FlashbackFriday, a hint as to what holiday we've really been waiting for. Well, "waiting" is inaccurate cuz we've been jamming Christmas music since October.

Did they make vertical-based images display differently? Only one way to find out...or not, I wouldn't actually know one way or another.

For #FlashbackFriday, it's #MTGinktober 80, "Muddy," starring Cold-Eyed Selkie. I don't often draw or even enjoy drawing eerie stuff, but this one felt like a chance for a neat change of pace, especially since I've always loved this card's art, though I wasn't really playing #MTG around this block.

For #TBT, here's #MTGinktober 79, "Expensive," starring Tasigur, the Golden Fang and the Sultai Moxen. This is an example of an #MTG illustration I have ~no memory of drawing--totally forgot that lil' Ravenous Chupacabra till I read my notes. Also an example of masking a thankfully rare ink spill.

This was a sketch where I was hoping to mimic the color choices of one of my favorite artists, to see if that might jolt me to some greater understanding.

For #FlashbackFriday, it's #MTGinktober 78, "Drain," starring Blood Artist painting a self portrait of his idealized form, Zulaport Cutthroat, but it comes out as Thief of Hope. This has perhaps every drainer in #MTG as of 2018, as draining used to be my favorite mechanic before Cat-Oven ruined it.

All right, back to the regularly scheduled #TBT of #MTG illustrations of yore till we get to 299. This is our 77th #MTGinktober illustration--2018's 20th piece--"Breakable," starring whatever the heck is going on in Phyrexian Unlife. I had completely forgotten I'd drawn this, so it jolted even me.

I just learned you can customize your Firefox background, so I'm trying this out & it's kinda nice. Once I pick a BG, avatar, etc. it tends to stay that way forever, so we'll see how many years this guy lasts. Maybe I should make something custom for it. But for now, we'll give Bushidobot a shot.

Maybe next year's your year, Didi.

I discovered some Canadian postcards in my desk one day, so I drew some pictures on them for the kids.

While the previous one could pass as a finished illustration--which it isn't--this is a lot more of a WIP, though the lines are looking about finished at least on the main figure; there's still the background to contend with, but anyway, here's the other WIP I was working on before diving into inks.

I was curious what the last WIP was I working on before Inktober started, & it looks like it was this. The tricky thing is trying to apply the techniques & flow I hone during October into my regular stuff. I just get total amnesia, & have to relearn everything. I did take notes this year, though.

And then the last little highlight from ten years of #MTGinktober, I loved doing parody illustrations every run. So many things have inspired me over the years, it was great to have an avenue to salute them directly. Some were as subtle as a mimicked gesture, but some got to be pretty straight-up.
