I've had computer problems since Monday afternoon, so I haven't been able to post much and I missed Day 6 of the Inktober challenge. That seems to be solved for now. So, the word prompt for that day was Ogre. And now you have it.

Star Wars Chrome Sketch Cards

Here are the sketch cards that I did for the recently released Star Wars Chrome set via Topps. This time I focused on The Rise of Skywalker, The Book of Boba Fett, Tales of the Jedi, Ashoka Season 1, Obi Wan Kenobi Season 1, and Maul: Shadow Lord Season 1.

So, another Inktober is upon us. As with the last few years, maybe longer, I haven't done one everyday. Believe it, or not, I'm kind busy and let's face it, the word prompts haven't exactly been inspiring. That's part of the challenge, I guess. Anyways, I'll be hit or miss with these this year, I'm sure.

Today's word prompt is Apple. Since it is October, I try to make these spooky to go with the season.

Last week we took a trip to Cumberland, OH to visit The Wilds to visit with all of the free roaming animals and some not so much, such as the carnivores. While on one of the open air tours, I was able to do some sketching. The landscape was done from the deck of the yurt that we were staying in.
