OCTOBER CONTEST: The experiment worked! Penny was so relieved to have her dog back from the dead.

[Chip Valecek]

This months prompt is brought to you by the Inktober founder @Jake-Parker

The experiment worked! Penny was so relieved to have her dog back from the dead.

-Must be ink, or look like ink.
-Must be black and white.

Couple of details:

The contest is open to anyone. But the winners and runners up will only be selected from active SVS members.

Post only finished pieces here. Post WIP projects in their own thread.

Put your real name and forum name on the image somewhere (can be on a border if you like).

Good luck everyone!

@Chip-Valecek is there extra points for doing the piece in ink?

[Chip Valecek]

@Aleksey I'm sure there would be. In their last podcast they did mention something in the terms of "Design with your audience (judges) in mind."

[Heather Boyd]

@Chip-Valecek

Sounds complicated. I’m not sure how I’d solve that and even if I’ll have time with Inktober.

[braden H]

This is gonna be fun.

Way, way too much fun.

[Elinore Eaton]

I LOL'd.

Time to get that imagination motor running!

[ArtofAleksey]

Oof i wonder if i can fit this in with inktober and my comics class.

[burvantill]

Well, that’s a doozy. Talk about challenging the students.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Chip-Valecek oh, dear

[Laurel Aylesworth]

LOL - thanks for the chuckle. How could I not do this prompt?

[Aaron_T]

Seems a lot more specific than the other themes I've seen so far...

[LisaF]

@Aleksey Yes! Per Jake:
-Must be ink, or look like ink.
-Must be black and white.

Good Luck!

[ArtofAleksey]

@LisaF sweet! I have a fun idea already..

[Miriam]

@Aaron_T, They've done really specific ones before—it just varies.

[Heather Boyd]

I have an idea which I love but I don’t want it in ink, can I do it in pastel for my line and stay in black and white?

[Coley]

ok subject makes me go "eeeeeeeek!" lol

does it have to be ink/b and w or is that just bonus points? I'm confused now lol

[MichaelaH]

@Coley In The E-Mail for the October contest is written:
Since it’s Inktober and all, Jake added a few extra requirements just to get you in the spirit:
Must be ink, or look like ink.
Must be black and white.

I am also not inking, but I will do it in my style and go b/w like @Heather-Boyd

[Coley]

@MichaelaH oh thanks so much! I'm having problems with my e-mail so I didn't get it. Really appreciate you straightening that out for me!

[Kasey Snow]

It'll be challenging to make this one unique, I'm looking forward to the results!

A question: Does the image need to only be stark black and white? Or can there be gradients of gray? If I do it in ink, I am tempted to use an ink wash for value. But if that is against the rules, I'd like to know now.

[Heather Boyd]

@Kasey-Snow

I’m okay breaking should I say bending the rules if I Happy at the end. May not win. But I win when I am happy with it. I will probably possibly gradient mine - see how it goes.
