On Day 31 of #inktober #wildtober, all the animals celebrated the puppy in the right hand corner getting an award. It got a bit chaotic.

Day 29 of #inktober was a leopard teaching a lesson, and that was followed by a kangaroo with a vacant pouch on Day 30.

Days 25 and 26 of #inktober feature a hot camel and a cool wolf.

Pink octopus on a table checking out snacks, grabbing wine bottle, pouring a drink on a dog, waving a cat in the air, shaking a maraca, and tipping his hat.

Yesterday Octopus got rowdy, much to the dismay of Cat. Dog had mixed emotions. Day 24 of #inktober2025

Find the motive, find the killer?

A book called Fireflies and Flamingos propped up by a stack of two other books. A yellow coffee mug with a rabbit on it sits to the right. The book cover has a dead body on the ground stabbed by the legs of a plastic pink flamingo. Fireflies float above the body.

Someone needs to write this cozy mystery. Day 23 of #inktober2025

A red cookie tin with buttons in it. There is also a turtle laying eggs in it.

Day 22, prompts were button and turtle. Those cookie tins are good for so many things! #inktober2025 #wildtober

Day 21 of #inktober2025 was a lion having a blast

Day 13 of #inktober and IYKYK. Still combining the official prompt list with the #wildtober list by @_smileysaili_

Slightly behind on posting, but these two vicious animals were for Days 11 and 12 of #inktober

Days 9 and 10 of #inktober have a black and white theme, still using the official prompt list combined with the prompts from @_smileysaili_ #inktober2025 #wildtober2025

Days 7 and 8 of #inktober include a monkey investigating a tidal pool, and a reckless owl.

Days 4, 5, and 6 of my combined #inktober and #wildtober2025 from @_smileysaili_ I’m especially loving the Vixen from Day 8. #inktober2025

Started Inktober using the official prompt list and a second list called #wildtober by @_smileysaili_ Using Pigma pens, Derwent Inktense pencils, and a few gel pens. #inktober2025

On the left a drawing of the head of a buffalo with a unicorn horn. On the right a chipmunk-headed penguin, still with a unicorn horn. Drawing done with a black pen.

Two ways of seeing the spot on my tile floor.

So dry that the trees are dropping leaves in a self-preservation attempt. We need rain so badly! #drought

The country may be descending into hell, but my raspberry patch doesn’t care. Pie fresh from the oven smells so good! #raspberrypie

Gorgeous quilt!❤️

Beautiful!

Sounds like a good way to spend the time. Polka dots are fun!

No joke. Between the teeth and the back feet those 🐰 will mess you up.

A REW rabbit in red shirt and blue jeans holding a no kings sign and booting an orange man’s ass. Man has a yellow creature on his head, long red tie, blue suit and diet cola. His cell phone with his own picture on it and a crown are flying through the air.

Bunnies take no 💩. They only give it. #nokings

Phoenix facing left. Wings start out blue and then change through the color spectrum

Finished up this year’s project with a Phoenix. Thank you to everyone who followed along. Your presence was very encouraging. #the100dayproject

A mostly red bird with a woman’s head, in flight. The bird has acid green accents.

Yesterday was Day 99 for me, and I drew a harpy. My suspicion is that their reputation was slandered by the patriarchy in a way similar to Medusa and Lilith. #the100dayproject
