Alien Rite of Passage [INKTOBER day 5 "build"]
Who doesn't remember as a young amoeba first crossing the temple threshold at third dusk and approaching the squirming receptacle of tentacles and limbs, protoplasm tingling, wondering what configuration awaits? I wanted to invoke that sense of anticipation here with a sketch of a first molt blob attaching its maiden limbs and eyeballs. You only get to build your first form once, after all!
#inktober day 5 prompt "build". Yeah I know I didn't post a day 4 "frozen" image yet, that one is in the works but I foolishly decided to tackle a full page cross-hatch composition for day 4 and it is going to take me a bit longer to finish that one. It is coming though :)
I completely neglected to take process pictures on this sketch, so to make it up for you here is the old "selfie with art and a great white shark" routine :) My smiling face has to be worth at least a few process pictures, right?
You can see I wised up here and started this sketch on a 1/4 page size

Remember folks, its not the number of tentacles, its how you wiggle them :) Stay weird Steem!
Good thinking on the picture sizing. You can't tell when it goes up on here anyway. You could pretend it's A3 size and we wouldn't have known without the selfie.

Your smiling face is worth a million process photos Carl.
Love the tentacle with the eye and the pattering. You could do a great Medusa for the prompt 'enchanted.'
Wondering how the DDG would bring colour to b&w linework? ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
On my @cyclops account I messed around with that some, doing small scale artwork on sticky notes and using DDG to make larger scale color pieces from them. This is an example:
