What is Inktober 52?

Inktober 52 is what happens during the months that aren't October. A new prompt will be posted once a week (typically Thursdays or Fridays.)

How do I join in?

Simply create art based on or inspired by the prompt word. All mediums are welcome, provided they are created by human hands and minds. The submission can be anything from a simple doodle, a sculpture, 3D model, papercraft, painting, etc.

Rules

  1. Be kind. Constructive criticism at most, if requested. We welcome artists of all skill levels and varying levels of free time to commit. This community is meant to encourage people to create art.

  2. No AI-Generated work The works must be physically created by (your) mind and hands. All non-AI mediums welcome!

  3. Submissions must meet the theme of this community Your work must be based on a prompt from an official Inktober list. Late work based on expired prompts are still eligible for submission.

From Inktober.com:

Been a loooooooong time since I've thought about Aaah! Real Monsters but you just gave me such a weird nostalgia trip.

Glad to be of service. ^_^

Yeah, that's the good stuff!

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters! was an amazing show. That and Freaky Stories.

There was a time in history where show creators were like "we know what kids want, it's 'horror and related'", and they were absolutely correct.

Childhood memory right there

Arrrgh! Real monsters was incredible. You may notice the art style is similar to Rug Rats, both were made by a studio influenced by the genius estonian animator Priit Pรคrn.

If you like animation, you owe it to yourself to see Triangle (15mins) and Hotel E (30 mins) and my favourite ever public service announcement (2 mins).
