InkTober :)

on hiatus - A place for all of the InkTober drawings I've done & will continue to do over the years! - main: @iAmKxiper https://iamkuiper.carrd.co/

I'll weep for the unfinished

for the ugly and unmotivated

for the grand ideas never started or brought to fruition

for what could have been

and for what was

sketches returned to, yet still abandoned

ideas, places

only ever half fulfilled

and I'll think about what it all may have been like

what I might return to

what I won't

what would never have a vision

what almost did

all of it - all of it - all of it

and none of it

but a failed creation is still creation.

so goodnight, InkTober.

Day 17 - Doppelgänger

In the midst of endless August snow, a blurred figure nags from the corner of his vision at what little attention he had while trudging through deep drifts of snow, trying to shield his face from the biting wind. He stopped and looked to his side and out through the blizzard as the others walked on. He saw nothing at first, but then, as the snow faltered just slightly, he could just make it out. And as the details became clearer, he felt like a bucket of ice cold water had been dumped down his back, and his fur stood on end.

His friend tugged at his jacket and asked if he was okay, but he wasn't sure what to say, and upon looking back, the figure was gone.

Day 16 - Limbo

The space between spaces, particles, atoms, quarks. Your rules don't apply here because there is nothing to make rules out of. There's nothing to form concepts except for your feeble, trapped mind. And here, is where you'll imprison yourself based on the belief that there is anything that exists outside of what you think.

Day 15 - Millennia

An eternity amongst the black and the stars, until endless light exposure turns the void burning bright and the glowing gas giants into black holes scattering the galaxy.

Day 14 - Ruin

Intoxicating time, overwhelming space, all you know whirling around you in a concoction no one else has ever known the taste of, and never will. Life so sweet, biting, so many hands grabbing. You'll never be the same again, never be that kid again. Bittersweet in the end, but you can't get enough.

Day 13 - Crossing

Old tracks, old roads, old as time winding through even older valleys and mountains.

Day 12 - Strife

In a blink, their day turned from a calm focus to whirling chaos. A disoriented girl spun around the room, yelling and pleading and crying out about why this could be happening to her.

A being clung distressed in the ceiling corner of the lab, huddling itself away from the girl as much as it could, patterns flashing endlessly and rapidly, they looked as if they wanted to jump out of it's very form. Clawing their way out of it's skin.

She cried up towards it as it spoke its first and only words in garbled, broken, and distorted english. Warping out of reality with what the others in the room perceived as saddened, guilt ridden eyes. It left her there, alone to her affliction.

Day 11 - Petrichor

Lost in the rain, meadows of spring

Scents from above, somewhere in space

And I'll know you when I see you

When I see that face

Depths so deep not even blue

Could reach their grace

Day 10 - Tracks

Where the trails converge, you may be able to find a path of which was never really a path at all.

Day 9 - Limit

Cut me away from everything I've ever known, push my mind, my brain to the limit.

Day 8 - Wound

It would bleed him dry of his life and his energy, like a bullet wound in slow motion. His declining figure would begin to garner the concerned and sympathetic looks of his friends, though he'd try his best to distract them from the gaping hole in his chest, pretending to be his old cheery self. It was only partially effective.

Day 7 - Seeping

Despair for this world...

No. The universe.

Oh how it was unfair to us.

A complicated mortal, a simple being beyond comprehension.

They meshed perfectly, and yet would tear one another limb from metaphorical limb.

In the end, it was her heart who betrayed her.

Day 7: Seeping

Mirey is a fervent believer, loyal to her cult and beliefs... So when she's disturbed while praying, she becomes quite moody.

Day 6 - Reeds

Amongst the still waters, even there she saw her. A jumbled mass of reeds reflecting only what she'd grieve.

Everything was a reminder.

Day 5 - Mess

"You're such a mess, you know that? Maybe if you had your shit together, I could actually love you again."
