Added 2018-10-03 06:40:24 +0000 UTCSo, this is what it looks like when I try to art when my daily quota of eyesight is used up (depending on how stressy the day is, and how much small things I have to look at before noon, that's between 1 am and 3 am).
We'll see how much Inktober there'll be this year.

2018-10-03 18:07:45 +0000 UTCPerhaps we could have Graphitober? As others have said, do what you can, any way you can, and we'll sit back and admire your work. Absolutely no pressure.

2018-10-03 17:35:59 +0000 UTCI think it's time to stop calling it INKtober in any way. Maybe I'll try something for tomorrow that I can erase when it goes bad.

2018-10-03 13:19:19 +0000 UTCThe story is that of the three "wildmaidens" that I came across in Southern Germany this summer. It's woefully anticlimactic but nice artistically ;) Near a cave in the Allgäu lived three wild maidens. Every once in a while, the villagers nearby would find some sort of broken equipment that had been left there by the wildmaidens to be fixed; the villagers fixed the things and put them back for the maidens to find. The next night, they would find a plate of cakes in the same spot. I envisioned the maidens as friendly witches and really liked the concept, but I haven't been able to work on this one - or on another - since yesterday; my eyes hurt too much. :/

2018-10-03 13:18:16 +0000 UTCThat must be incredibly frustrating. But as ever, don't feel pressure to produce for us - do what you can, and don't add to your stress. Take care of yourself. (Also, I'm joining the group wondering about the story in the drawing...)

2018-10-03 12:42:07 +0000 UTCDear Jenny, health comes first, we all understand that here! Even if you make only a few drawings for Inktober, so what? To feel good and comfortable is more important than the rules. Besides, I like it. ☺ What is the story behind this drawing?

2018-10-03 07:07:00 +0000 UTCI agree, don’t feel like you have to push yourself. I love this piece because I can already think of about 5 books on my shelf it would work with!
