Inktober Is COMING! What shall we do?

TLDR: What would you like to see for Inktober this year? Polling the Patreon fam!

Hello beautiful Patrons! Inktober is JUST around the corner and the planning starts now! For those not familiar, Inktober is an annual drawing challenge where artists all over the world create pieces based on prompts every day of October.

My first year of Inktober, I created Further Still. I ignored the prompts and made a story that I posted on page a day. You can hear some VERY special guests read that book to you here.

The next year, I did a story where each day incorporated the prompts AND made a colouring book to go along with it, and recorded a video time lapse while I read the pages! (Whew - what I was thinking??) You can hear all about Ickle and Pickle's Prickle Pear adventure here.

Last year, I did something completely different. I was thinking a lot about sustainability and I decided to paint on t-shirts and tote bags (all second hand or ones I owned) and make a design based on each daily prompt. Many of you Patrons received these t-shirts and totes as part of your perks! If you want to check them out, or the books from previous years, they're all up in my shop at artinjest.com.

NOW. We're headed into another year of Inktober. I know I'll be working in a sketchbook (or two - more on that later) but what would you guys like to see? Let me know in the poll and we'll get scheming! Have a totally different suggestion? Comment away!

Thanks for your input you beautiful people!
