I am so excited to do Goretober again this year!

Each year it challenges me to push my abilities and creativity to complete the prompts and overall strengthens my artistic ability, plus its a lot of fun to draw gross, gory shit!!

Like last year, I wrote my own prompt list. Unlike last year, I’m starting this in September so that I can maybe, I don’t know, ACTUALLY FINISH? I’m hoping to have them all done and print versions made prior to the Night Gallery, which i will be tabling at again this year. I’ll make another blog post with more information regarding that as soon as I have the information!

Are you doing Inktober, Goretober, Drawloween, or similar project? I think challenges like these are a great way to connect with other artists and create personal and artistic growth, so if you are a creator and haven’t done something like this before, I highly recommend it!

Here is my prompt list, please feel free to use!

Usually what I try to do for these types of things is once I have the prompts decided on, I try to come up with 1-3 ideas that I could employ and once I get to that prompt, go with the one has a better feeling. Sometimes I’ll get halfway through a prompt and change my mind, but I still think doing all this prep really helps. The best scenario for these is when I’m working on a prompt and I get a completely new idea to use!
