Last call for Inktober original claims - and THANKS (Patreon)

Anyone who wants to claim another of the Inktobers to buy before I put them on sale/raffle off a handful? 

Here's all thirty of them again at a glance: http://goldseven.wordpress.com/2017/10/22/inktober-2017/

The following have been claimed so far:

All Inktober pieces are 105€ plus shipping (5€ for Germany, 4€ for the rest of the world), and come with a dark grey mat and a personalised little drawing on it. :) Let me know if you want one! The giveaway will then begin in a few days. 

Inktober has been an incredible thing for me on a personal level. I've let on in some of my posts this year how hard a time I was having with my art, but I never told you that there were times when I really thought of giving up art altogether. I just couldn't see myself doing it at all. The thought didn't even scare me, which is rather frightening in retrospect. 

At the end of September, I bought a little A5 pad of drawing paper and ten mats. I told myself that ten was probably all I was going to finish, if that - I could always use the others for prints. Or something. 

To do a drawing a day, and more importantly, posting it even though I wasn't 100% happy with some, proved absolutely cathartic. It's incredible to look at my Instagram and see the sheer mass of black and white that says "you actually did it". A month ago, picking up a pencil and drawing something seemed like such a terrible effort - now, last weekend, I took my sketchbook to crowded places like cons again and sketched stuff at bar tables next to chips and crepes. 

Now, to keep that going!!
