101 in 1001 - Digital Paintings & 365 Days of Art: Piercings

166. Piercings

I drew the above image for the 101 in 1001 list goal:

• 032. Finish 10 digital paintings.

Luckily, it also overlaps with one of my 365 Days of Art list themes (166. Piercings), so I can cross off another of those at the same time.

Inktober Day 30 & 365 Days of Art - Mermaid

Inktober, Day 30 & Mermaid

She's not a typical mermaid, but this was the drawing I did for theme number 201 of 365 Days of Art, which also happened to be Day 30 of Inktober.

Music:
ASP - BernsteinmeerengeL (I wasn't listening to the piano version, but couldn't find the other one)
Prayers - Cursed Be Thy Blessings (feat. Christian Death)

Inktober Day 29 & 365 Days of Art - Masks

Inktober, Day 29 & Masks

Another day, another Inktober and 365 Days of Art combination. This time, it was Day 29 and theme 115, Masks.

Music:
WULFband - Full Frontal Sabotage
WULFband - Chaostanzen

Inktober Day 27 & 365 Days of Art - A Clock

Inktober, Day 27 & A Clock

Day 27 of Inktober went together with theme number 238 on my 365 Days of Art list, A Clock. This is This drawing that didn't take me long, and looks pretty bad (I know!), but I was trying to represent the "clock-drawing test" that is sometimes used in certain branches of Neurology. It can be used as a complementing diagnostic tool when trying to indicate the progression of conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), dementia, encephalitis and encephalopathy. Basically, the more disjointed and unlike a clock face arrangement the numbers/hands are, the greater cause for concern there's likely to be (though this is highly dependant on each individual's circumstances, obviously).

Music:
Xeno & Oaklander - Shadow World

Inktober Day 26 & 365 Days of Art - Organs

Inktober, Day 26 & Organs

Day 26 of Inktober brought a partnership with my 365 Days of Art list once again. This time, I decided to take the theme of "organs" (136) and was reasonably pleased with this one.

Music:
Ludovico Technique - Absence
Sugai Ken - Okera (桶楽)

Inktober Day 25 & 365 Days of Art - Dragon Boy

Inktober, Day 25 & Dragon Boy

Dragon Boy was the theme (365 Days of Art list) I chose for Day 25 of Inktober - and there he is!

Music:
Svarte Greiner - Black Tie
Svarte Greiner - Penpals Forever (And Ever)
Svarte Greiner - Floor (couldn't find this one to listen to, sorry)

Inktober Day 24 & 365 Days of Art - Favourite Word

Inktober, Day 24 & Favourite Word

For Day 24 of Inktober, I decided to use theme 21 (365 Days of Art list), which was "Favourite Word". My favourite word is paracosm, so that's what I rather unsuccessfully tried to draw.

Music:
LA Vampires with Maria Minerva - Integration
Vanity Productions - Blue Eyes Reflection

Inktober Day 23 & 365 Days of Art - Diamonds

Inktober, Day 23 & Diamonds

It was just a quick doodle for Day 23 of Inktober. This day also became combined with number 162 on the 365 Days of Art list - Diamonds (though calling most of these "art" at all is a long reach!).

Listening To:
Sword & Scale podcast (though the drawing only took about 5 minutes)

Inktober Day 22 & 365 Days of Art - Citric Acid

Inktober, Day 22 & Citric Acid

Day 22 of Inktober brought a familiar being into the frame, in the shape of a citric acid Xenomorph (from Alien). This also counted as number 330 on my 365 Days of Art list.

Music:
TR/ST - Dressed For Space
VITAS - Седьмой элемент (The 7th Element)
VITAS - Инопланетный Друг (Extraterrestrial Friend)

Inktober Day 21 & 365 Days of Art - Jester

Inktober, Day 21 & Jester

For Day 21 of Inktober, I decided to use theme 146 (Jester) from the 365 Days of Art list. I am rather partial to drawing sad clowns/Pierrot, but this one's a little different to my usual.

Music:
Daemonia Nymphe - Zephyros's Enlightening Anemos
Daemonia Nymphe - Thracian Gaia
Daemonia Nymphe - Nemesis Rhamnousia

Inktober Day 20 & 365 Days of Art - Cats

Inktober, Day 20 & Cats

Inktober is already on Day 25, but I realised today that I hadn't posted any of my drawings since the 19th. Today and tomorrow I'll be doing a little bit of catch-up posting, starting with this one, Day 20 (also theme 203 on my 365 Days of Art list) - Cats.

Music:
Richard Horowitz - Eros never stops dreaming

Inktober Day 19 & 365 Days of Art - A Song As A Picture

Inktober, Day 19 & A song as a picture

I woke up knowing that I wanted to draw something with bees in, on the 19th (and so, for Day 19 of Inktober), but wasn't sure what. So I turned to the music of Dvar for some inspiration, since apparently they don't write their music, but are given all of it through dreams by a giant bee being, also named Dvar. They don't always specify that it's a bee, but they have a lot of bee-themed art on their albums. I think it worked! 

Before colouring

This also serves as theme number 116: A song as a picture, on the 365 Days of Art list. The song is 'Lyarrah', though I was listening to various songs by Dvar.

Music:
Dvar - Lyarrah
Dvar - Ai-Lu
Dvar - N'ahaliroh (Deii Part II)
Dvar - N'ahaliroh (Oramah Maalhur)
Dvar - Evlahii

Inktober Day 18 & 365 Days of Art - Strawberries

Inktober, Day 18 & Strawberries

Day 18 of Inktober was a day of little inspiration for me. Still, I came up with something, using theme number 298 (Strawberries) from my 365 Days of Art list.

Music:
Position Parallèle - Pas Plus Loin (No Further)
Position Parallèle - Mon Plus Bel Echo (My Most Beautiful Echo)
Position Parallèle - Quel Q Ues Aiguilles (A Few Needles/Minutes/Seconds)

Inktober Day 16 & 365 Days of Art - Something With Hair

Inktober, Day 16 & Something With Hair

This is theme number 56 - Something with hair - on my 365 Days of Art list, as well as Day 16 of Inktober. It's probably my favourite one I've done so far, even though it's one that took the least time (that isn't a doodle). Actually, that seems to be the case with all the ones I like the most!

Music:

White Town - Your Woman

Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You

DreamVeil - Я - Провода (DreamVeil mix) (Ya - Provoda / I'm Wires)

Inktober Day 15 & 365 Days of Art - Halloween

Inktober, Day 15 & Halloween

Day 15 of Inktober and number 168 on the 365 Days of Art list: Halloween!

Music:
Robot Koch - Instructions for Time Travel - Recue Remix
Sleep Thieves - Is This Ready?

Inktober Day 14 & 365 Days of Art - Dolls

Inktober, Day 14 & Dolls

Day 14 of Inktober and with it came theme 121, Dolls, from the 365 Days of Art list too.

Music:
TR/ST - Icabod
TR/ST - Dressed for Space
TR/ST - Shoom

Inktober Day 13 & 365 Days of Art - Children

Inktober, Day 13 & Children

Here's a doodle I did for Inktober, Day 13 and number 188 of the 365 Days of Art list. 

I drew this whilst listening to a podcast about the Green Children of Woolpit, who appeared in the UK town of Woolpit suddenly one day back in the time of King Stephen (King of England from 1135 to 1154). They had green skin, would only eat broad/fava beans at first, and spoke a language unknown to anyone around. When they finally learnt to speak the English of the time, they said that they came from the underground world of St. Martin, and that everyone there had green skin too. It's documented in historical accounts and, though it's likely just a fantastical work of the time, it was an interesting listen nevertheless!

Inktober Day 12 & 365 Days of Art - Something in Purple, Blue & Grey

Inktober Day 12 & Something using only purple, blue, and grey

I haven't been posting the drawings I've been doing for Inktober over the past few days, so this is the first of a bunch of catch up posts. This particular one is for Day 12 and also for the theme "Something using only purple, blue and grey" on my 365 Days of Art list. It's of a character called Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin from the TV show Gotham, as he tends to wear/appear around those colours (and also he's a character I really like in the show). It doesn't look much like him, and turned out fairly rubbish in general because my hand/brain decided not to cooperate with each other that day, but oh well. Onto the next one! :)

Music:

Paula Temple - Deathvox

Health - Victim

Inktober Day 11 & 365 Days of Art - Eyes

Inktober, Day 11 & 105: Eyes

For Inktober Day 11, I used the theme Eyes from my 365 Days of Art list. They're always fun to draw, even if I'm quite terrible at drawing circles!

Music:
Roman Rain - Outro (Полетели) (Poleteli/Flew)
Spook Jack - SHADOW

Inktober - Day 7 & 365 Days of Art: Black & White

Inktober, Day 7 & 264. Black & White

This drawing completed the first week of Inktober, and it helped me to cross off the "black & white" theme on my own 365 Days of Art list too. What I learnt from this picture is that any circle I ink will always be slightly wonky, no matter how hard I try!

Music:
Lieder Distorsion - Auf dem flusse
Ludvig Forssell - Behind The Drapery
