We have arrived. The final three prompts of the 30 prompt challenge for this year's Seektober. I am still filled with regret that I could not complete a doodle a day as I have in the past but I am proud for getting these ten pieces out and with greater detail than anything I have produced in the past Seektobers. Especially this piece. OOF. I knew I wanted to make this one the biggest out all ten, and with three characters in difficult positions (difficult for me since I tend to stick to full frontal view or just a tiiiiiny tweak to the side when it comes to faces) ... it took me a fair bit to sketch out and I am still not entirely happy with proportions (...my boy there really be wearing HUGE Timberlands over there).

Anyway, with 'obscurial' as the first drawn prompt...I knew I wanted to utilize characters that had the greatest potential of becoming one. The candidates are Elliot Cox (left), Valerie Gray (middle), and Jaecar Upstead (right). Naturally, their pasts and reasons for their suppressed emotions are things which none of them wish to have me share to publicly (honestly) but each do harbor an intense darkness within them that could manifest into an Obscurus.

With 'cold' I decided to draw them each in their comfort clothing and the sort of clothing they feel the most protected against the harsh realities of the world - to take a moment to be dramatic.

For 'Avis', I used the shape of the wand movement to draw the dark/grey energy emanating from the trio. The greys did not get as dark as I was going for...but I was afraid of getting TOO dark and there was no way I was dipping into my unforgiving black pen

I really like Paige too. She comes across so soft and sweet here. And I love how you incorporated the phoenix prompt into this as well. I'm not as familiar with Darius as I am with many of your other characters, but that is one sultry chibi! And just look at those abs!
thank you, MJ I'm still kind of embarrassed about the abs but I think Becky and Eiji are in a tight lock for my favorite from this month for real.

Becky is so tickled I really do love and adore these markers and am grateful for all the YouTubers out there who teach me something new about how to use them with every video and supply me with new techniques to try out. There was a far bit more experimenting this Seektober to varying results...but it's been a blast (and nothing wrong with homey Crayola markers!)
