Inktober 2022

A basic cave map in black ink on off-white dot matrix paper. The dot matrix is arrnged in a grid. Instea of hatching, the "solid" areas are shaded with purple sharpie. The cave only has one way in but has tonnes of jacayed loops.
2nd "Cartography"

A friend on the Garblag Games discord asked if there were any D&D/fantasy based inktober prompts. Instead of looking them up, I suggested we write a set together, and waited.

I’m quite impatient.

I wrote this list:

1st    Fighter
2nd    Cartography
3rd    Shopping episode
4th    Infernal ancestry
5th    Spell book
6th    Magic sword
7th    Dungeon
8th    You meet in an inn…
9th    Draconian ancestry
10th    Cursed
11th    Save vs death
12th    The Ranger
13th    Bluff & deception
14th    Gigantic
15th    Divine
16th    Critical hit
17th    Wilderness
18th    Hawking loot
19th    Dwarven ancestry
20th    Fireball
21st    Initiative
22nd    High seas
23rd    Quest-giver 
24th    Orcish ancestry
25th    Magic amulet 
26th    Armour class
27th    Provisions and supplies 
28th    Lords and/or Ladies
29th    Elven ancestry
30th    Arcane
31st    The Undead (Halloween special)

The list provides an illustration prompt for each day of October. It’s fairly broad/vanilla but there’s a lot of twisting and turning you can do with words if you have a mind to… Ten days in already, going to start playing catch-up now. Hopefully I will post something tomorrow!

UPDATE:


I stuck a few drawings on the AitL instagram:

If you don't have insta, they look like this:


 
A bad drawing of a dragon- sepcifically, a dragon statue at the citadel in Hue, central Vietnam
9th "Draconian Ancestry"

A cursed creature, all folds and flaps around a single eye with a slit-like pupil. Sort of yonic.
10th "Cursed"
