Doing more comic concept art while I am reviewing my script. This project is forcing me to learn my tools and techniques and it feels great! No more fuckin around, just progress through problems.

Working on the design for a character in my comic. I have to come to one conclusion, this guy needs a HAT!

A series of black and white drawings which show a different outfits and faces of a man with pronounced veins along his face and body. The top of page has the words Dragon Clothes.

Finished that WIP I was working on and it feels good to getting back into the art grove after not making a lot for a while. Nothing like a new character going through awful shit to get the grove going again.

A finished copy of the work in progress. A digital art drawing is of a man slumped over, tears flowing from his eyes, hand moving towards a mutated insect crawling out of his mouth and a syringe in the back of his neck. The background is bright red, the man is a blue with a lighter blue running through his head to his eyes with a yellow iris from the syringe in the back of his neck and darker blue shading. The insect emerging from his mouth resembles a cockroach its body orange with dark-orange shading with yellow eyes.

A WIP of moment from a recent Fallout ttrpg session. My character was injected with a mysterious syringe that we found in a vault. He had a premonition that a swarm of mutated insects would sweep over the land in seven days. Killing everyone within the vault.

Back with some practice. Trying to learn more about inking and shading. The reference is a 3D model by Albin Merle www.artstation.com/albinmerle. When I first saw it I thought it was real.

#inktober Day 31; I am done! It was a great time and I improved a lot. #inktober2025 Was a lot of fun but I may do a different drawing challenge next year. For now it is time for other art.

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

#inktober Day 30; Had a idea for crime novel or something with the name "NO VACANCY" this has to be a totally new idea that has never been done before. #inktober2025 is almost over, it has been fun.

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

#inktober Day 29; Decided to take it slow and just learn about my materials more and how I can use them. #inktober2025 continues to be about growth for me.

#inktober Day 28; Made a spooky profile picture for today as a treat for myself. #inktober2025 has been long and I need something for Halloween.

#inktober Day 27; Been making art for other stuff all day so made this one quickly. My 'totally' original idea for onion knights. #inktober2025 #knight

#inktober Day 26; The lighting on this one is puzzling but a simple piece can be a little strange for #inktober2025.

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

#inktober Day 25; Wanted to make some art of my boy Tymon, still working on his design but he is a character I enjoy drawing. I still have much to improve on even though I have increased the quantity of art I have made. #inktober2025 has definitely shown me that quality practice is how I improve.

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

#inktober Day 24; Found a old magazine cover online and it was perfect for a rowdy picture where I inked like I sketched. #inktober2025 is almost over and I still want to keep going.

#inktober Day 23; Wanted to do a simple piece for day 23 and focus on redoing day 22. I have been thinking about what I am going after #inktober2025, I would like to focus on my studies and developing what I want with art. I will keep posting but I may only do it once a week.

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

#inktober Day 22; Was busy today so I had to make this quickly. I am going to redo it tomorrow in addition to the other prompt for #inktober2025.

#inktober Day 21; was waiting for this day for so long. So excited to see the Reze arc in theaters when a theater near me is showing it. #inktober2025 has been feeding the fire in me to make art and I have been thinking constantly about art for this whole month. Time to finish strong!

#inktober Day 20; Didn't know what to do so I was just spit balling until I came to the idea of writing a poem for #inktober2025.

A mirror with text that reads;
Be Your Own Rival
See Your Equal Within Their Current State
If You Remain They Will Always Be Equal
You Will Loathe Them
You Seek To Surpass Them
You Must Journey And Learn
To Be Better Than Them
Setting The Bar
To Be Better Than You
They Must Journey And Learn
They Seek To Surpass You
They Will Loathe You
If They Remain You Will Always Be Equal
See Their Equal Within Your Current State
Be Their Own Rival

#inktober Day 17; Decided to make a ornate Lantern Guard. The Lantern Guard are a concept in my world that are basically the police in most places and each group has their own style of lantern. Want to post more about them in the future, but for now I will keep trucking on #inktober2025.

#inktober Day 16; I was unable to post last night due to a blunder on my end but I will be posting another piece tonight for #inktober2025 Day 17.

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

#inktober Day 15; Had a idea for a character that was ragged in both appearance but also in spirit. So the idea of the Ash Eater was born. Consumers of the ash of a fire god that gives them power but will turn their body to smoke. They need to wear large cloaks to keep their body from blowing away.

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

#inktober Day 14; Wanted to incorporate some worldbuilding into this piece. I have a lot of ideas for projects I want to work on and #inktober2025 is giving me chance to express it.

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

#inktober Day 13; super late on this one but I am glad that I finished it. Felt weird drawing this one, yet that is what I believe #inktober2025 is for, trying push yourself beyond the prompt in some way.

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

#inktober Day 12 a little late again but I had fun with this one! Based it on that one page from Sakomoto Days where Gaku was going ham inside the JAA. #inktober2025 has got me going to the media I like for inspiration and unraveling why I like it, really feels like I am leveling up.

I love it when my writing takes me to go and read the Dichotomy Wikipedia page.

#inktober Day 11; a little late but I was playing CAIN with some friends. During the beginning of #inktober2025 I thought about coming up with ideas for each day ahead of time but I am glad that I didn't, my life inspired my art.

#inktober Day 10, Going into the double digits has got me sweeping off the brain to clear my head and focus. This piece had me working with line thickness more than my last couple of pieces. The little improvement I make is really what I am after with #inktober2025.

#inktober Day 9: I decided to continue drawing my own characters. My boy here has heavy eyes and is ready for a deep sleep (just like me). #inktober2025 is giving me fresh ideas for what I want to work on with my art. I may start posting some studies.

010

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

A bit of a rushed one for #inktober Day 8; I wanted to represent the reckless nature of one of my characters. Not the biggest fan of how this piece turned out, but improving is my goal for #inktober2025.

#inktober Day 7 Starfish. Decided to go with the first idea that grabbed me, and deep-sea versions of Staryu and Starmie based on basket starfish were the most interesting. I had fun drawing the gems, so let's keep #inktober2025 rolling!

#inktober #inktober2025 Day 6, forgot my eraser, so the sketch is going to stick. Did this on Arizona Pierce from @1000deaddraculas.bsky.social and @benfleuter.bsky.social webcomic severandpierce.com.

#inktober Days 4 and 5. Trying to keep up is rough but I want to keep improving.

Astro Ink @astroink.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

These drawings remind me how rusty and tired I am. Looking forward to completing #inktober, I want this month to spur me into improving my art and post more.

Writing to me feels like driving car. When you get going it feels great, when you hit a brick wall not so much.
