Hello everyone! This is my first time attempting #inktober and thus far I've mostly drawn Hadestown inspired scenes.

Hands down, the middle image is my favorite. This imagery feels very off brand from my usual style, but that's partially what I really like about it.
While listening to the Broadway recording of the Hadestown soundtrack, I've been imagining the musical through an animation lens. Because the music and lyrics are so sharp and jazzy, all the characters in my mind appear very exaggerated and fluid.
Hades most of all.
The way his voice builds and changes, I can't help but picture him taking on these extreme shapes. I like the idea that his body might stretch and grow to match the cadence of his voice. During Inktober, and perhaps afterwards too, I want to explore this idea and draw him in a variety of different shapes and forms.

If you'd like to get a sense of what I mean, and you haven't listened to the soundtrack yet, I recommend you check out these songs:
Chant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bheXk…
Papers (Intro): www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSMoZU…
Chant Reprise: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVyH0s…

Thanks all! I'll update with more Hadestown/ Inktober drawings soon!
