VIVID SHADOWS 2024 (Patreon)

Hi guys! Brain is dead so in my best possum fashion I'm gonna be gay and do crimes, in this case, stealing what Fex thoughtfully wrote to announce this and just change some words to make it sound like mine, but don't tell them I did it ;) (they definitely know I did this).

Hey gang!

Fex and I are starting to get the ball rolling on Vivid Shadows for this October. In case you don’t know, it’s a project where we release a list of 32 prompt phrases based on monsters, mythology, and transformation. Then Fex and I alternate posting drawings based on each prompt every day of October, and release all the art in a book!

In the last couple years we’ve had more and more people from the community participating in the challenge, so we want to open the prompts up to you all as well! If you have ideas of words or phrases that could inspire cool art, suggest them in the comments! We'd love to hear, so we can steal some of our favorites and draw art based on them ;)

Here are all the prompts we've used in previous years, which we don't want to repeat exactly.
