I took on the inktober drawing challenge this October. It's a list of daily prompts to inspire, open to anyone wanting to play along.
Reflecting back on the drawings I made for the challenge, I noticed that my mental state influences a swing of tone in the works. From silly sweet moments between a cat and his dad, to stupid puns, to a commentary on the necessity to splatter earth against an invisible barrier.
Some of us beat ourselves up during the downswings. It's not uncommon to have negative days. You're not bad or stupid for having them. You can accept them and process those feels in your way and you don't have to do it alone unless that's what works best for you. Post it to your friends, share it out loud. You're having an experience here.
When you come out the other side with clarity, have another laugh at yourself. Then get back to living.
I'm no authority on anything except maybe drawing stuff and making up funny names for Dungeons and Dragons characters. I hope I can inspire some kindness and a laugh here or there.

The prompt list: where it started.
First drawing is a silly pun and a new character.
Here, I reveal my real life fear of moths, and Turkey's nude physique.
I feel like they live in my head. I hope to show them a good time.
Yeah....
A little bit of GOT and I love my mad friends going on here.
Hello! Stupid jokes make the happy.
Turkey enjoys dressing to satisfy his fem side. He looks pretty.
Every morning I wake up with a 6lb cat on me. Good thing he's smol.
Creepy throw back. I drew Turkey a lot in college...
Ohhhhh the puns get worse! I promise.
Turkey gets this from me. I'm great at not answering my phone.
This one is a call back to whisky's prior request to touch the moon.
I told you the puns get worse!!
Awwwwwww
Dungeons and Dragons anyone?
A baby displacer beast and it's all alone? Got me a new pet!
Was feeling the sad on this one. Wanna go away from here but that's not possible. I'll dive into my hoodie instead.
Where the Vonnegut fans at?
This is VERY personal. If you've ever had an omelette hurt your feelings, you know.
I love tesselations.
Gotta let it out. Can't keep these thoughts to yourself. You're not dark or a downer, you're having a human experience.
May we all have that friend who will ellectrocute us.
;)
I had to open up a bit. I refelcted on that when I felt a bit better.
Amused that the "universe" cares as much about your plans as a cat butt.
