Inktober – Day 27 – Interlude

Trying a different kind of spread layout…

Welcome to day 27 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

Following the fairy to the end of the dark street, she stops in front of a gully cover. Waving her wand she removes the lid and starts going down.

Grog was anything but delighted about their underground journey, while Sasha felt quite at home in the cave like environment.
“Where does the tunnel lead to?” she asks.
“Have some patience, will you?” the fairy says. “None paying clients are always the worst” she mumbles to herself.

Inktober – Day 25 & 26 – Tempting & Ego

I was a bit at a loss of what to draw for these prompts, so decided to combine them both in the story…

Welcome to day 25 & 26 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

“So if you are a fairy, can you make my wing grow back?”
“Ah, I am afraid that is beyond my abilities. However, there might be other solutions. Let me make you a suggestion, I can grant you one wish or I can help you find what you lost,” the fairy says.

“Only one wish? And I cannot wish for a second wing?” Grog asks.
“That´s correct” the fairy replies.
“What kind of fairy are you if you cannot fulfill a wish? I thought that is the purpose of fairies?” grumbles Grog.
“Well, I am what I am. So take it or leave it,” the fairy snaps back at Grog and starts turning away from him.
“Make up your mind,” Sasha hisses at Grog. “The night is almost over and we are still no closer in finding your wing!”

After another moment of thought and seeing his reflection in a puddle of water, Grog forgets about his ego and starts jumping after the fairy who is slowly flying down the street. “ Alright, alright! Keep your wish, but I want your help, if you say you can help” he barks at her.
The fairy turns around and smiles at them. “Alright, follow me.”

Inktober – Day 23 – Booger

Welcome to day 23 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

With everyone stunned and distracted by the transformation of the dog, Sasha and Grog seize their chance and run. Grog darts out the door first and starts running down the street like he never ran before. Sasha flaps her wings trying to keep up with him.

They only stop when they are both completely out of breath.

Once recovered, they start looking around, only to realize that they are even more lost than before. Nothing looks familiar. Even the buildings in their shape and form look different from before.

Inktober – Day 22 – Heist

Welcome to day 22 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

Grog froze when he saw the dog standing at the door. Should he fight him and then try to make a run? The dog was slightly bigger than him. Grog was calculating his chances.

“Get out of the way!” Sasha yells at Grog from behind. In a swift movement, Sasha snatches the magician´s wand out of his hand and points it at the dog.

“Abracadabra!” she yells at the top of her lungs.

Inktober – Day 21 – Bad Dog

Welcome to day 19 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

What Grog and Sasha had not noticed when they entered the cellar of the magic show, was the massive dog guarding the entrance. In his attempt to run out, Grog was suddenly face to face with the door dog.

“Where do you think you are going?” the dog barked at him angrily. “You did not pay for the show! Pay up or you will be in trouble,” he continued threateningly.

Inktober – Day 20 – Bluff

Welcome to day 20 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

Again, Grog was not impressed with the magician´s bluff. He ripped of the ponytail and started running towards the exit in anger.

Inktober – Day 19 – Part II – Ponytail

Welcome to day 19 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

The magician pointed his wand at Grog and started waiving it.

“Abracadabra!!” he says.

Inktober – Day 19 – Part I

Welcome to day 19 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

“Alright, alright! You are clearly not impressed with the result!” the magician laughs while looking at Grog.

“Let me try again! My magic wand should do the trick!”

Inktober – Day 18 – Scrape

Welcome to day 18 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

Grog is very much unimpressed with the result of the magic trick.

In a fit of anger he rips down the umbrella.

Inktober – Day 17 – Salty

Welcome to day 17 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

Once Grog is on stage the magician asks “So what would you like to see?”

“Can you give me a second wing?” Grog asks.

“Haha! Nothing easier than that!” the magician answers. “All I need is my magic salt!”

Inktober – Day 16 – Fowl

Still playing catch up with my Inktober drawings. I am making slow but steady progress and at this point I am curious to see where the story will go as well. Have a nice weekend!

Welcome to day 16 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

They enter the magic show. There are only 5 other guests in the audience, sitting in a dark corner. The armadillo is nowhere to be seen.

The magician on stage is in the middle of the act. Grog and Sasha take a seat in the front row and watch.

“For my next act, I will need a volunteer from the audience!” the magician announces.

Grog jumps up and gets up on stage.

Inktober – Day 15 – Armadillo

Welcome to day 15 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

Grog and Sasha relax after eating all the muffins. After a while, they start taking a lazy look around. All the streets are dark and empty except for another dimly lit alley.

“Look at that fella! Where is he going?” Grog asks Sasha, pointing at an armadillo slowly walking down the alley. Curious, they get up and follow him with some distance.

When they get around the next corner, the armadillo has disappeared. At the end of the street they spot a basement entrance. “A magic show!” Grog yells. “Maybe that´s how I can get my wing back!”

Inktober – Day 14 – Empty

Welcome to day 14 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

Having searched for Grog´s wing for what felt for hours, both of them were starving. Before they knew it, they had emptied the basket.

Inktober – Day 13 – Kind

Welcome to day 13 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

After wandering around aimlessly for a while though the dark streets, Grog and Sasha spot a light in one of the shops. As they get closer, a welcome surprise awaits them.

Inktober – Day 12 – Forget

Welcome to day 12 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

On their chaotic escape from the eagle, Grog and Sasha forget to pay attention what direction they are heading.

Suddenly they find themselves in an area that is not familiar to either of them.

Sasha tries to fly higher up, but all the rooftops look the same to her.

Inktober – Day 11 – Eagle

Welcome to day 11 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

Grog quickly jumped out of reach of the crab´s claws.

Still being puzzled by the content of the nest, Grog and Sasha did not pay any attention to their surroundings.

Suddenly they heard a screech behind them. Is this the owner of the nest returning? Either way, they did not want to find out and made a run for it!

Inktober – Day 10 – Crabby

Welcome to day 10 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.

Grog swiftly climbed up to the nest. Although he was not able to fly anymore, he still is an excellent climber.

However, the nest held a surprise that he did not expect at all!
