GORETOBER 2019 UPDATE

I didn’t quite finish all of Goretober this year. However, i think my work this year is the strongest yet. I really put in a lot of thought and effort into all the pieces I did and I think my improvement and growth as an artist shows. Comparing this year’s pieces to last year’s shows my improvements in color and anatomy. I reworked several pieces in photoshop to make them nicer looking for prints and to save myself time and money on painting a bunch black backgrounds (ink is expensive!!).

Maybe when I’m feeling a little less burned out I’ll revisit some of the Goretober prompts from this year and draw some more gross stuff!

I’ll be updating my shop and gallery later today to add all these new prints and some extra fun stuff.

Here’s all my pieces for Goretober 2019, which you can also view on my instagram! I did skip some days, so here’s the corresponding list:

  • Day 1: X-Ray

  • Day2: Evisceration

  • Day 3: Sliced Up

  • Day 4: Stigmata

  • Day 5: Corporal Mortification

  • Day 6: Open WIde

  • Day 7: Impaled

  • Day 8: Bitten

  • Day 9: Burst

  • Day 10: Insects

  • Day 13: Angelic

  • Day 14: Infection/Germs

  • Day 15: Possession

  • Day 16: Surreal Gore

  • Day 21: Pastel Gore

  • Day 27: Ghost

GORETOBER 2019

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!

  1. Experiment

  2. Evisceration

  3. On A Platter/Served Up

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!
