My story to make this fit Inktober prompts: #Inktober2018 Prompt breakable #doodlewashOctober2018 prompt cats:
In all of the Americas, Jaguar is the lord of cats, none larger, none wiser, and none more majestic. But Jaguar's flaw was pride and he boasted of this so often, annoying the other animals, even though they feared him.
Of all the animals, Jaguar was greatest enemy to Monkey, and Monkey decided to teach Jaguar a lesson.
From tree to tree, the message was passed from the jungles of South America to the Atlantic Ocean, where Monkey called upon Otter. "Otter, will you take this message to our brothers across the sea? It will cause great mischief to Jaguar."
Otter also hated Jaguar and loved mischief, so he agreed.
"Tell our brothers to go to Lion and tell him that Jaguar boasts that he is largest, wisest and most majestic of all cats."
The message went to Monkey in Africa and soon Lion knew of Jaguar's boasting. Lion was outraged, so he traveled through the mystic ways known only to lions until he reached America and stood before Jaguar.
"Jaguar, you have been telling lies. Say that Lion is larger and wiser and more majestic or I will break your bones!"
Jaguar's pride was bigger than his wisdom and he refused. So Lion used his great strength to break Jaguar's bones. However, Jaguar's pride was stronger than his bones, and he continued to boast that he was largest, wisest and most majestic, even though he knew at least part of this was not true.
Monkey once again called upon Otter and sent their message to India, asking their brothers to tell Tiger of Jaguar's boasting.
Tiger traveled through the mystic ways known only to tigers until he reached America and stood before Jaguar. "Jaguar, I AM the largest, the wisest and most majestic of all cats! And I am the wisest because I know your pride is stronger than your bones. You will say that I am largest, wisest and most majestic!" With that he pounced upon Jaguar and grabbed him by the nape of the neck as a mother cat does her kittens.
Jaguar thought Tiger would grow weary and let him go, so he did not speak. A day passed, and then a night and another day and both Tiger and Jaguar grew hungry and weary. But Jaguar did not speak and Tiger did not let go.
Another day and another night passed and another day passed, and Jaguar and Tiger grew thirsty and thin. But Jaguar did not speak and Tiger did not let go.
And still another day, another night and another day passed, and finally Jaguar whispered, "Tiger is larger and wiser and more majestic than Jaguar."
Tiger gave Jaguar a shake, and Jaguar said, "Lion is larger, and wiser and more majestic than Jaguar."
Tiger let go, and offered to hunt with Jaguar. "You are my brother, and third largest, wisest and most majestic of all cats. That is something worthy of respect. Pride is breakable, but mend yours with that knowledge." Jaguar agreed this was so, and they hunted and ate together and then Tiger traveled home.
Jaguar boasted often, but now boasted that he was the third largest and wisest and most majestic of cats, and thus worthy of respect.
The monkeys and otters, for all their trouble, were still annoyed.

This meets #Inktober2018 Prompt Exhausted #doodlewashOctober2018 prompt Berries.
Doesn't this grizzly bear look happy? He's looking forward to the rotting fruit soon to come. He'll gorge himself on fermented berries and apples until he's exhausted and then he'll find himself a place to hibernate through the cold weather.
My story: To many the Wolverine seems cruel, but he is just a trickster, always looking for an advantage.
One day he looked up and saw a large fluffy cloud. “How soft,” he thought, “A good place for a nap.” Some geese were flying by and he called to them. “My brothers. You must carry me to that cloud.”
“Why should we do this,” the geese asked.
“You have seen rain fall from the clouds and fill the lakes and rivers. There must be fish in the clouds as well.” The geese hesitated, but wolverine met every question with an answer, using his great charm and mesmerizing tone. Soon the geese were convinced and carried him to the cloud.
When they reached the cloud, Wolverine began digging through the cloud but could find no fish. The geese grew tired of waiting and flew away, but Wolverine refused to give up. While convincing the geese, he had convinced himself as well, and forgotten his reason for flying to the cloud.
After a while, the cloud faded away and Wolverine fell to earth, landing on his head. Wolverine has a hard head and was not hurt, but he did take a nap for a while. #Postcards for the Lunch Bag #Inktober2018 Prompt Cruel & #doodlewashOctober2018 prompt Clouds #zensationschallenge #Hahnemühle_USA #ZebraPen_USA

email paulidin@gmail.com for permission to use. #inktober2019 15. legend - I hear that prompt and I think of Korra. In this case, specifically Korrasami. Did you know the story continued in printed comics after the cartoon ended? Where they are canonically and explicitly girlfriends!?! It's great. I drew them here getting close for a smooch.

I had to draw the comic panels, too, and I apparently don't have a steady hand. See earlier post for my making-of video.

I remember leaning about him and his human Emily Elizabeth in a reading session at school. I already loved dogs and he was just the biggest example of one!

email paulidin@gmail.com for permission to use. #inktober2019 18. misfit - I'm not _trying_ to make my art Christmasy but this prompt made me think of the Island of Misfit Toys that Rudolph found. In an interview long after the special aired on TV, Arthur Rankin Jr said the reason why Dolly, with no visible reason to be a misfit, was on the island was that she had depression after being abandoned by a child. Whew, talk about a toy story. See earlier post for my making-of video.

email paulidin@gmail.com for permission to use. #inktober2019 27. coat - My friend @twirlyenough suggested A Bear Called Paddington for this prompt and what a good idea! I think this is the best watercolor art I've ever done! Originally Paddington was conceived in black ink drawings by Peggy Fortnum in 1958. She just died at 96 years old in 2016. “He had to look real,” Ms. Fortnum wrote of the bear in her unpublished memoirs. “People who saw him had to believe in him, just as they believe in Winnie-the-Pooh.” She added: “You see, I don’t like whimsy or sentiment. This bear had character. I felt a real rapport with this brainless innocent who always came out on top.” Same, Ms. Fortnum. Same. First, main reference photo. Second, time lapse video of drawing in pencil then watercolor pens. Finally the end results.

email paulidin@gmail.com for permission to use. #inktober2019 13. ash - The Saddleridge and other fires around LA have been bad recently, enough to cause evacuations and air quality all over the LA area to get unhealthy. I took a photo from a news article and tried to recreate the feeling of a fire devastating a community.

And then I thought of the scariest, ripest-smelling design I could imagine. CW: Donald Trump. See earlier post for my making of video.

email paulidin@gmail.com for permission to use. #inktober2019 25 tasty - I wanted to challenge myself with watercolor ink some more so I found an ice cream cone photo and tried to make it look like a piece of art you might put on a wall. I liked my technique for the blue ice cream but I should have done the pink background differently. See my earlier post for my making-of video.

I tried this shape in particular to work on highlights and shadows with ink. Need more practice. See earlier post for my making-of video.
