Conceptober 2022

Ladies and gents, the month has turned and it is once more October. As my friend Lotus would sing on his band's song called Soul Travel, it's that tiiiiiiiiiiime again:


As is the tradition I uphold every October, I will once again engage myself with an art challenge! For the past two years I did the Digitober art challenge, which was me creating one digital piece per day to force myself to learn more of digital art and to become accustomed to working on a digital canvas. Clearly, the approach has worked: Photoshop has since then become my main medium of generating art and content; it continues to be to this day, and I have learned and still continue to learn so many techniques which have helped me generate paintings I never thought possible in the past.

That said, doing another Digitober art challenge feels redundant. This year I want to change it up a notch by giving the challenge more purpose. I will be focused on creating one sheet of concept art per day for my original fantasy story, The Aether and Radisrol. Then I will take an element from that sheet and color it, and this colored piece will be my entry for the day. I have decided to call this challenge Conceptober 2022, and my aim is by the end of it, I will be more motivated to work on my story and flesh it out.

As usual, I will be tagging all Conceptober posts and you can check out all the entries using the tag #Conceptober 2022, which you can actually find under the Crossover Map.

Will I actually get all days of October this year and have something posted each day? I sure hope so, but the thought of it definitely excites me. 😂 Here's to a productive month of arting! 🧃
