Inktober 2024.

Day: 1

Prompt: Backpack

Subject: Bagworm caterpillar

I tend to start inktober full of excitement and ideas, but then quickly get overwhelmed by all the options.

So this year I decided to set a theme

All my illustrations will be of, themed after, or in some way related to invertebrates.

Although that still leaves me with [quite literally] billions of options to chose from, it narrows the scope just enough to make it manageable.

Needless to say, if you’re not the biggest fan of insects [which I don’t blame you for having phobias or even just being squeamish] feel free to mute my posts for the month.

I will be tagging each drawing with its respective phobia as well as more common tags for the creatures. I apologize in advance if an illustration slips through the tags and ends up on the wrong dash.
