Sciartober Day 31: And the last one goes to the owlfish for the prompt: dark. There are only video reference for this animal along with a few illustrations, but I wanted to do something from one of MBARI's videos. I corrected the forehead to be less sloped, though the mouth might still be too big for this particular fish.

It’s October my dudes

Happy First of Halloween!

Hello everyone!! #froggyfall is coming back this year for a month of frog themed prompts ✨ I cant believe we are also just one month away from #frogcon 🐸

Frog Con is an online (free!) frog-themed convention organized by @frogcultorg that will be happening October 13-23 where frog lovers from around the world can gather online and bond over love of some of the cutest little animals on the planet (that also play vital roles in ecosystems!).

#froggyfall is a prompt list for the month of October where we combine the daily prompt with a froggy element - up to you in how you do it. it’s open to all mediums and all forms of creative expression 🎨📚. Tag your post #froggyfall and #froggyfall23 so we can find your creation. No stress here, participate in as many or few prompts as you want 🥰 Have fun and support your fellow creators in the tag ✨

We're still in August and Halloween's only two months away but...

Who's up for some Risetober this October?

So, in continuation of spreading the word of Rise TMNT all over the Internet LIKE A BOSS, I decided to do my own list of Risetober this year. More Rise with a little bit of the Halloween spirit. If you're reading this @nickelodeon, not only do we want season 3 of Rise, we also want more seasons and more movies. Rise is such an underrated GEM!

Just like Rise August, anyone can participate and have fun! Go crazy with the prompts! Write! Draw! Make silly Tik-Tok videos! The possibilities are ENDLESS!

We gotta keep spreading the word and let @nickelodeon know that Rise will NEVER die!

take me to bed and tear me apart

Kickin' off the first BAWKtober of 2023 with a big one~

BAWKtober Day 1 - Campfire!

Day 12: Faramir and Éowyn sketch. They're my OG Tolkien ship and still my favourite, and I have not drawn them at all before!

My usual painting technique isn't really suitable for this fade-to-sketch style, but I like it anyway.

inspired - suptober day 3

uhrmmmm heheheh i made a small animation since it's a more simple drawing :) but i'm 3 for 3 baybay!!!!!!!!! i think this was definitely one of the hardest prompts and i did use graceface and dean's hand and yeah i think you get it sjsjjssj

[prints & stickers] [give me a tip!]

Monstober Day 20: The sea monk is a Danish creature with possible origins from the descriptions after capturing a monkfish, squid, or guitarfish. The typical depiction is of a monk head on top of a scaly body, with squid tentacles. I pulled some elements from depictions of the version called the sea bishop as well as embellishing with some of my own elements. Pentel brushpen, Windsor & Newton fine-line marker, and Prismacolor fine-line marker on Canson mixed media.

Happy Drawtober!! Day 1: Necromancy

All of mine will not be to this level as that would probably be way too daunting, but since it’s the weekend I can commit a little more effort to my prompts for sure 🫠✨ I had quite a few ideas of where to take this and I’m really happy with the finished drawing.

I dunno, Draco, was it really all worth it?

2023 Botober drawing prompts

Here they are!

I continued my tradition of using the year's state-of-the-art models to generate the prompts which means my methods were:

Ask GPT-4 to make its drawing prompts really weird, in the style of AI Weirdness Botober. Then sift through all the cutesy alliteration for the reasonably interesting stuff.

Ask GPT-4 to list Botober prompts from previous years. Instead of actually recalling them, it just claimed to do so and then produced other stuff.

Ask GPT-4 to list Botober prompts from previous years, then turn up the temperature (chaos) on the model until it allllllmost breaks.

Here are examples of some of the longer responses I got with GPT-4 and chaos setting 1.2. They wouldn't fit in the grid, but please feel free to substitute any of these for any of the prompts above.

Immortal Turnips disrespecting celery. OWL PHANTOM AND CABBAGE-O-LANTERN (LIGHT) Final parsnips in particular Before memory, an ancient tool waits to be discovered The Candle That Leapt over the Lake at dusk does a pirouette dussewe wind at earth bubb submission velvet little hurricane breakfast blown in be putty and goodness vodka… gaselocity scoct slices vold cave with When humans item.

Glance of the lavender popcorn mussel Eureka! Solar system pancakes Pause to contemplate radishes Apple mystery solution—the crypt underneath The totally real crown of all Barnacles

I also tried Bard and Bing, but their responses were repetitive and generic and I didn't have a chaos slider to play with.
