Inktober Day 12

Inktober Day 12

The Victorian Explorers have no idea why everything is so HUGE in the Peruvian jungle,

but they do have another idea - to try and use this big fellow as a pack animal. 

He's as tall as an elephant! But he's pretty slow, and the V.E.S. have a suspicion that someone

or something is following them...

Maybe we'll see who or what it is soon. Stay tuned!

Inktober Day 11

 

Inktober Day 11 (a Few Days Late)

Our heroes have found some pretty cool animal life in the dark jungles of Peru!

Like this big friendly bird. Captain Nicholas wants to see if he can saddle-break him. It sounds like a good idea, but I just don't think it's going to work. Besides, they don't have time, they have to

find the Relic!

Inktober Day 10

I've fallen behind a bit on the Inktober posts, but I'm trying to catch up this weekend. This one was a lot of fun - I'm breaking a bit from the narrative of the V.E.S. for now. 

And that black background element is completely ripped off from Jake Parker - at least I'm an honest thief!

The nice thing about Inktober is that for me, it pushes me to come up with something new and solve creative problems every day. If you're like me, that's something you need to do more of. That's why I'm considering doing a creative exercise of some kind every day after Inktober is over. Maybe I'll share it on the blog. More on that later. Until now, I leave you with Mr. Arthur McGuire who uses bombs to blast open ancient vaults (and maybe a few mechanical menaces) to search for treasure.

He'll be on the lookout for more Inktober drawings to post soon!

 

 

Inktober Day 9

After escaping the dragons' flames (and seeing the Wise Librarian to safety) our heroes

return to their own airship to make the voyage to the next stop in their

quest for the Relic: Peru.

Inktober Day 8

 

 Enraged to find Westerners in his domain, the Khan sends his best 

Dragon Marauders to demolish the mountain Archive.

Their hulking dragons descend from the skies engulfing the slopes in flame and brimstone!

Inktober Day 7

An aged wise man has been guarding many ancient texts and records in his mountain castle.

Among them is the volume that the V.E.S. is looking for - a map to the location

of the relic that they are seeking. We'll see what that relic is soon.

Inktober Day 6

Day 6.

And now, our group of heroes, having hired an Asian airship to ferry them to the remote 

Tibetan mountains, embark upon a search for an ancient map that will lead them

to a highly sought relic of a long-forgotten age.

Next time, we will see what that map looks like, and who has guarded it these many long centuries!

Inktober Day 5

This Friendly Flying Reptilian Creature has taken a liking to the members of 

The Victorian Explorer Society (well, all except Doc that is).

They like him too, but of course, they haven't met his parents yet.

I think they'll call him "Mel".

A really fast drawing today. Maybe we'll get a little more creative tomorrow, eh?

Inktober Day 4

Doc - He prefers a straight fight, 

but can use his brains in a pinch!

Inktober Day 3

Day 3! Here a member of the V. E. S. has discovered

a Very Rare Reptilian Flying Creature. It seems friendly enough,

but we haven't met his parents yet!

Also, I'd like to hold a little mini contest - can you help me name the explorer above?

Something old-fashioned and gentlemanly. Leave a comment if you have any ideas!

Thanks!

Inktober Day 2

And now, let's introduce a few of the characters. 

This is Arthur McGuire, adventurer

extraordinaire.

Inktober Day 1

The journey begins here!

I'll be sharing more information about the project in the coming days.

Meanwhile, go check out my INKtober drawings from last year:
