Here's my fourth drawing for Inktober 2021, this one following the prompt "knot".

Originally, I set out to just do a drawing of some string or rope tied in a knot, but I started looking at reference images and nothing was really jumping out at me. The idea felt kind of generic.

Then I started thinking about doing a drawing where a worm, or some other cartoon character had their whole body tied in a knot. Then I started thinking about those old Looney Tunes cartoons, where Bugs Bunny (or was it Daffy Duck?) would tie Elmer Fudd's shotgun barrel into a knot.

I don't know how I ended up with this monkey. He looks a little dopey, but I like him.

I'm a little disappointed that it only took three days of Inktober for me to be posting somewhat late, but I had a lot of things going on today, so I've got excuses.

This one's for the prompt "vessel", and features an ominous man in a cryogenic chamber. Spooky!

My second illustration for Inktober 2021, this one for the prompt, "suit".

I wanted this one to be a close-up of the zipper, with some other details visible, but not very descriptive, to give it a little bit of mystery. I am enjoying working in black and white again for my digital inking.
