October 2021, Day 1: Ghosty

"We are the places that made us" 🪦

A different #October

It's a difficult time for me right now: my mom's fighting cancer and I'm her only child. When I'm not taking her to the doctor/treatments I'm 100% focused on work. I won't do #inktober this year but I wanted to do something because I love all spooky stuff 🎃

Even though I'm 100% focused on work, time is never enough. All personal projects are paused and I feel overwhelmed more often than not. I wasn't feeling up to any challenge this month but then I saw this idea and I thought "yes, this might be nice":

So this is my plan for this October: 5-10 minutes illustrations of several #OCs from the universe of IronRoads, on a chibi, simple style.

It might work or not, buf if it does, I hope these characters can put a smile on your face, just like they do with me 💛

IronRoads is a future series of illustrated stories set in their own universe, very "far-west" like.
🚂🌵🤠

Illustrations by yours truly n__n

Day 2: Iris

"As a famous witch said: if you don't believe, you'd better get supertitious" 🧙‍♀️

#Drawing #OCtober #SpookySeason #OC #IronRoads

Iris, in a HD version I did a while ago xD

And here's the video with the process of making the HD illustration xD, a Halloween special I did for the cool people from @clipstudiopaint 🎃

Can't believe it's been a year already O__O

Oh... and I can also show you the "HD" version of Iris and Ghosty, together xD

Day 3: Enri

"What other people see in us does not define us" 🧛‍♂️

Day 4: Jet

"Life is like a river. A river full of monsters." 🐟

#Drawing #OCtober #SpookySeason #OC #IronRoads

Ok, I can show some HD versions of Jet too 👀

1. As a boy.
2. The boy has grown and just wants to help xD

Day 5: Elia

"We walk over monsters' graves, we dream their memories and call it fantasy." 🐉📚

#Drawing #OCtober #SpookySeason #OC #IronRoads

Have some extra content of this girl who dreams to be a great writer and her beloved friend Jet, the boy that can't read u.u

Day 6: Nat

"Be who you are and find your place in the world; nobody said it would be easy." 😶⚡

#Drawing #OCtober #SpookySeason #OC #IronRoads

Oh yes, Nat... protagonist, with Val, of some of my most famous illustrations xD

Do you see what I mean? 👀😆

Day 7: Val

"Life's too short to avoid temptation." 😈

#Drawing #OCtober #SpookySeason #OC #IronRoads

According to @CapitanaPat, you can clearly see the favoritism of the illustrator when the only colored pieces have the same character in them 😑

Please, do not believe this 😂

Well, maybe I have drawn Val a bit more than the other characters 😶

But... It's just a coincidence 😂

Day 8: Gus

"The real monsters live inside us." 👹

Day 9: Lin

"Don't let anyone tell you which kind of monster you can be." 🐺

Day 10: Jan

"You try to follow the light, you get burned. There isn't really a way out, is there?" 💡🦟

#Drawing #OCtober #SpookySeason #OC #IronRoads

Well, we have more characters in #IronRoads, of course, but we think that ten is enough to show for now O__O

So, today, we start with a slightly different content: chibetses in little scenes! xD

Day 11: Drawing at the cemetery

Nat's sketchbook fell from his hands. He and Jet exchanged glances. First they thought it was the wind, but it was getting closer. And it was murmuring words.

Day 12: Fishing at night

Jet wondered why was everything so calm and quiet. Were the night creatures afraid of something? 🤔
