A painterly golden circle encompasses stylized and gilded stars in white on a black background. Overlapping hovers a detailed, geometrically decorated firefly with gilded highlights in black and white. It glows with a gold wash behind it, like a halo.

Something different tonight! #firefly for #colorsofinktober.

I couldn’t resist mimicking metallic ink. The gold tones were too perfect.

I’m tired but this was a good wind down for my brain tonight.

Skipping #colorsofinktober tonight because I accidentally missed one of my meds and the day has been an uphill thing. Youngest has an ear infection so tomorrow may not be much better. :(((

A woman kneels in the dark. The only light is between her hands cupped near her face, inside which glows a star. She squints at its brightness.

#Stars for #colorsofinktober.

Def would like to rework this one but I’m not spending all night on it today, there’s a book to read. 😉

A petite pastel calico is curled up with her tail covering her nose. Her eyes glitter. The image is painted in sepia tones.

Me: I’m gonna take it easy tonight and just sketch our #cat Raven since the prompt is #kitten!

Also me: *adds 10 layers of shading and directional fur*

Basically my toxic trait is I can’t half-ass anything anymore. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #colorsofinktober again with a set of warm grays. We’re 1/3 through the month!

Truly a sketch tonight for “hunter”, the prompt for #colorsofinktober. This is a simple case of biting@off more than I can chew, but I hope I’ll be able to revisit this idea down the road. ☺️

Today’s word was #tarot for #colorsofinktober, along with a set of extremely desaturated blues.

It made me think of moonlight and the tarot reminded me of #TheMidnightCircus, so here’s the closest I’ve gotten to fan art in an age. 😁 Sketchy due to being a mom. 😂
