INKTOBER DAY 28 - THE STAR EATER This prompt was my excuse to get to paint my galactic black panther in this challenge. I think it is the first space animal I ever drew, years ago, and that started this whole thing. I have been calling it "Panthera Galaxy" and lately it's been just "Megatherion". I wanted a more definitive name for it so I think from now on it will be known as "Megatherion Ultima". It is among the slowest spectres but also the most devastating one, much much more sinister than the planet eater. I have so much lore related to this beast and its kin but maybe I will save that for another time. I gotta dig up some older pictures. I know one can be found somewhere on my IG account if you want to check it out! . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberchallenge #artmeme #space #skull #skulls #blackpanther #panther #ferline #felineskull #pantherskull #megatherion #galacticanimal #galaxyanimal #animalcreatives #traditionalart #traditionalpainting #inkpainting #ink #watercolour #watercolor

INKTOBER DAY 27 - THE PLANET EATER This started from what I thought would be a hopeless mess and turned into one of the most fun pieces I have done so far. It was so nice to play around with different red hues. The composition was the weakest thing but in the end I was able to make it work. Meet the giant space bear that devours planets for fun. . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberchallenge #artmeme #space #skull #skulls #bear #bearskull #galacticanimal #galaxyanimal #animalcreatives #animalcreatives #traditionalart #traditionalpainting #inkpainting #ink #watercolour #watercolor

INKTOBER DAY 30 - THE SENTINEL It prowls on the surface of a planet that it protects. It's always on guard and ready to face any imminent threats.  Something different and not so different. More space felines but with a more experimental composition. This is the second last one and the last Inktober piece is on its way. . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberchallenge #artmeme #space #skull #skulls #feline #felineskull #leopardskull #panther #galacticanimal #galaxyanimal #animalcreatives #traditionalart #traditionalpainting #inkpainting #ink #watercolour #watercolor

INKTOBER DAY 31 - THE TRAVELLERS The last Inktober piece "The Travellers" is done! I chose to paint some swans travelling between the spaces, inspired by Finnish mythology. The swan is a very powerful and important bird that was said to have the ability to travel between realms, especially the realms of the dead and the living. I used metallic copper ink so the original has a very nice shine to it. And that concludes this challenge! Thank you so much for everyone who followed this challenge, I hope you had fun! I am planning to make prints and hopefully a zine kind of collection of all the paintings at some point and I will also sell the originals so stay tuned! . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberchallenge #artmeme #space #skull #skulls #swan #swans #mythology #finnishmythology #legend #galacticanimal #animalcreatives #traditionalart #traditionalpainting #inkpainting #ink #watercolour #watercolor

INKTOBER DAY 26 - THE CHILD Hey, it's exactly the correct date this time, just wrong month! Going steady, I have some faith in finishing this challenge before December's challenge. The prompt this time is "The Child" and I chose to illustrate a newborn star as a fox. It seemed fitting for the theme. This one was fun to plan and paint and I like how the composition turned out! . . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberchallenge #artmeme #space #skull #skulls #fox #foxskull #star #vulpesvulpes #canine #galacticanimal #galaxyanimal #animalcreatives #animalcreatives #traditionalart #traditionalpainting #inkpainting #ink #watercolour #watercolor

INKTOBER DAY 29 - THE HEART Another piece I had a clear idea for from the start. Deciding on a composition was a bit challenging but in the end I'm happy with this. I used some copper metallic ink on it so the original has a neat shine to it. Enjoy the sun-hearted lion! . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberchallenge #artmeme #space #skull #skulls #lion #ferline #felineskull #lionskull#galacticanimal #galaxyanimal #animalcreatives #traditionalart #traditionalpainting #inkpainting #ink #watercolour #watercolor
