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.

Aaaand day 6 of the #shadowdark #Inktober - "Ooze!"

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.

I recently got to see the reliquary box they used to display Thomas Aquinas skull and I can't stop thinking about an undead version of him with it as his helmet...
