Description This is actually my 1st time ever trying to attempt Inktober, so I'm still very nervous and doodled headshots and chibis QwQ;;;;

The 1st were heavilty-referenced off a DRRR! sketchbook that I drew without guidelines and they looked horrible x.x;;;; I want to redraw these, too Q__Q;;;;; Poor Shizuo...

Every other headshot or chibi I drew was finished within 20-30 minutes every day (since I'm really slow)

The first four were of my OC, Kokuto, the 1st Routo (CLOSED ORIGINAL SPECIES: ROUTO (12/16/13) ), since I wasn't sure if I wanted to redesign his hairstyle. Out of all my OCs, he is one of the 2 real shouta (the other being his twin, since they look ~10-12 years old). I may draw more of him...but only after I finish commissions (my dear apologies, everyone Q__Q).

Then I referenced a Kaworu headshot and messed it up. Afterwards, I drew another headshot and then Nami-kun (Chibi commission example) to fill up space but that didn't work... The patterns and weird dot faces were random to fill up the page

2014 RAFFLE sledge (Greyson)
2014 RAFFLE Jardineparrot (Anubis + Kona)
2014 RAFFLE confetticandie (Melissa)
2014 RAFFLE LostbunniesofWendy (Rizos)
WatercolourKitten's 4 dream avis 2014 WatercolourKittens ICreq

as well as a doodle for Chocoppyica of ...I intended to fill the page with her...but...one of the sketches has been a WIP for several days because I wrote bio notes on the side (I look at my sketchbook more than my tattered notebook, so OTL;;;; ) But I will definitely erase the notes after my midterm exam on Thursday, so hopefully, I can continue drawing her then (Sorry, Josh D: )

I was kind of embarrassed when one of my male classmates in bio saw the WIP because she was both bald and naked

But yeah...in the next few days, in-between break periods, I doodled Ramu-kun, too, but I was afraid of ruining a full-body drawing so I just stuck with more headshots x.x;;;; It's neither productive nor a learning experience, so I have to force myself to ink other things, too Q___Q

Afterwards, I ruined Ryuuko I referenced them from: www.animebooks.com/kilakiskbo.… (this is the most reasonably-priced one, too, since it's now out-of-print x.x;;; )

Because midterms and a 2nd paper are due this week, I don't know if I can cram in and force out more drawings, but we'll see Q__Q I would be disappointed in myself if my hands got stiff and I couldn't finish at least a few commissions and raffle requests in the next month or so ><;;; *go away artblock* Again, I apologize to everyone who has been so patient Q__Q I also owe a few people gifts and apologize for the long delay on those, too ><

MATERIALS USED: Sakura microns, Faber-Castell brush pens (these are all 3+ years old and still somehow work *A* I sold all my COPICs to pay for textbooks, so the gray that you see was done with these brush pens ;u; ), BIC metallic pens, generic ballpoint pen for shading

Despite my kitchen sink getting clogged up and flooding the kitchen after 2 weeks of cleaning, I do hope that everyone else is having a much better weekend *A* (I was going to post all of this yesterday, but...yeah, the sink was being unreasonable x.x)

Stay healthy, everyone

-----

Also, I'm still selling my *PRINTS*, where 20% will go towards next year's Extra Life donation. All 11 x 17 prints are currently 1/2 off ($5) and any help, either by word of mouth/promoting or donations/sales would greatly be appreciated ;u;

I just replied to some notes, too, and am still working my way down, so I apologize for the delay in my responses, too D: Thank you so much for your patience and thank you to everyone who took their time to read this far ;u;

Awww, thank you ;//A//; I do my best and always look to improve, so I'm really grateful for your comment.

(Ah, Ryuuko has a red stripe on one of her front bangs, I don't know why either, but it's pretty unique for her chara ^^)

Oh ho! What a lovely sketch page Kura. ^^ All these wonderful sketches~ Ahhh, it's just too good! xD Anubis and Kona came out so cute! Hehe.

You are too kind to draw my Routo too. I didn't expect that. She looks so beautiful~ As always, you are too kinda Kura. Also, LOL at your classmates seeing her bald and naked. xD

Lots of luck with your midterms. You'll kill it for sure!

Josh, I'm so very sorry that my reply is so late D: I still have to redraw these for you (hopefully after I finish all this pointless busy work that professors like to give us 2 weeks before finals QwQ;;; I have so many gifts in mind for you, too >u>). I'm glad that you like them this way, too, though ;u;

(Ahh, I want to draw you entire pages of your Routo >u>;;; Ugu, you're one of the kindest people I've been fortunate enough to know And haha XD;;; IKR...but like, he wasn't phased at all... XP;;; That lessened the embarrassment...by a teeeeny bit...? )

And thank you so much, Josh! I'm doing my best to murder them, projects and my finals XD; I hope that your November is going well, too

No worries Kura! I know you got a lot on your plate that unfortunately isn't food. xD You and your redraws, I swear. Well, as long as it makes you happy and you want to do it, I can't stop you. Just know you don't have to redraw them for me. I'm happy with anything from you~ ^^ (Yeah, that's college/uni for you. Pointless busy work is their favorite thing to drop on you. xD )

LOL. Routo pages forever~~ Haha, yeah, at that point you've seen enough adult entertainment to be unphased by something like that. At least most people have by then. Plus if a guy sees something good he's just going to keep a mental imagine and continue with his day. Bringing attention to it only makes it awkward.Β 

You're welcome Kura! Hell yeah it is! xD A promotion and a raise in one month! I can dig that. Keep hanging in there and I hope your November is awesome too!
