featuring a cameo appearance from everyone's favourite pal Freddo from Inktober 10.

this is a day late because it's so damn hard to get Freddo to stay still while i draw him

two inktobers in one day BIFF BANG POW

i took over an hour to draw this one because i drew all the fluff :-(

my hand's gonna fall off

these creatures are all panting like exhausted dogs, and they're building up an incredible static electric charge as they rub against each other (100% polyester). if you reached out and touched them it'd be like when timmy gets blasted off the t-rex fence in jurassic park.

ok so it's "Open" in the sense that his mouth his open wide, or else it's an "Open" prompt as in "draw what you want". this is an idea i've been wanting to draw all week.

i had a long day so i only got chance to do this one this evening. i wanted to do something more "painty" than i usually do, and i sketched this one out using a big Krita brush and decided I liked it enough already without adding more detail

inktober, thank you for the excuse to draw a dinosaur.

i was thinking of Shin Godzilla when i drew this - that beautiful hapless dorkasaurus

kind of improvised this one playing around with different Krita brushes drawing stuff that i automatically do anyway (silly faces and blobby shapes)

this is me getting my posting juice topped up

@alex or IS it...

@puf no it's like that and then a little alien guy goes on it [see attached picture]

@alex What a scamp, that freddo.

This is worth waiting for, it's great. :)

@bright_helpings thanks pal!

@alex AAAAAAAAAA

@maloki thanks! yeah i'm not sure what level of CW i wanted to put on it since i usually err on the safe side with CWs but it's mostly hidden in the thumbnail anyway

@alex fair. just thought it'd be worth mentioning, because soemetimes I forget to hit the right buttons!

@dreadpirateyarr ahh thanks pal. i started it off in this colour palette because i was planning to make it look like a jade carving (but it turned out to be plenty of work just drawing all the animals 😓 )

@alex it's growing, but it's peeved about it >:(

@puf same tbh

@alex why the sad face! It looks amazing. Well worth it I'd say. 🙏
Now let yourself test.

@maloki thank youuuu!

@alex That is some dedication!

I always love seeing your work, best thing about Inktober for me.

@bright_helpings ahh thanks so much!

@alex It is great, I'm so glad you drew it.

@bright_helpings Thanks!!!

@alex wow I love this

@carithlee Thank you!

@derwinmcgeary thanks, yeah go ahead!

@alex I'm thinking about Shin Godzilla all the time. Thank you for this gift of skinless dinosaur.

@alex he's just doin his best!!!

@JennyFluff thanks for your suggestion!

@bright_helpings thanks so much pal!

@dreadpirateyarr @bright_helpings just want to state canonically, as the author, that after this picture the spark went out and everything was fine and this dude carried on with whatever horrible business he was up to in the cavern

@alex @bright_helpings I’m glad he could go back to lurking and skulking
