It's finished my dudes:

I'd say fairly confidently this is my favourite thing I've done in a while, maybe since the Sprite Draw stuff which is technically a July project ie rapidly approaching 4 months old at this point. Hadn't done anything I'd describe as just chill vibes in a long time, I'd say since January:

This drawing has taken on something of a new context since January.

The one that inspired the look of the new one is over a year old, though:

Was uploading the background somewhere else (with the rather poorly aged character drawing removed lmao) and felt compelled to do something similarly cool-looking (as in temperature-wise) so here we are. Felt quite happy with that whole situation honestly, it's nice to have art from long ago that's good enough to inspire more from you, imo.

Anyway that's the stuff, peace out bitches.

it's progressing, if slowly. i think i've figured out what i want to do with it so it should be smoother sailing beyond this point.

Thought you might like to see the progress so far. Don't know how big it'll be or how long it'll be 'til it's finished so may as well post updates.

Might make opening an online print shop a bit pointless so I'm gonna try and get it worked around as quickly as possible.

Making it presentable is the next step so I'll get to work on that tomorrow.

Hope you revel in the festivities. For my part, there is not a single Halloween decoration in my house because I'm different like that. Looks like I did...four Halloween-inspired/motivated art pieces this month? That's a lot, or more than I was expecting to do, at least. Hope no-one died of Inktober, OCtober, Cringetober, Blacktober, Rocktober, Goretober, Geektober, Greektober, Cocktober or any other October-related art challenge that might have been the fashion this year.

It's on this forum thread right here in shitty compressed jpeg form because duh:

Did a background for it and will post that tomorrow on spooky day for maximum spook good night

Hit a bit of a roadblock near the end of the day but the wizard design itself is now finished. Gonna add a lil background otherwise I'll feel weird about posting it to the art portal.

don't tell anyone though shhh
