Vivid Shadows 2024 - Prompt ideas? (Patreon)

Hey gang!

Jill 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 Jill 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.
