@tenkoman Thanks!

KaiJUNE seems fun, though I'm not up to any daily challenges for more than one month a year (even doing October is slightly insane). Maybe I'll draw one or two kaijuu that month.

Huevember is interesting, but too close to October.

I'm probably not up for 'suggestive' themes, though I admit you've piqued my curiosity.

I usually do characters from games/anime/comics in October (the #Arttrober list), so IP-bound isn't off the table, but maybe not what I'm looking for here.

So I know about #MerMay, and I know all about the October daily drawing challenges like #Inktober and #Arttrober and so forth...

But are there any other regular art prompts / themes that I should know about?

Just thinking ahead to June and beyond. It would be nice to have some more art prompts across the year to look forward to—particularly ones other artists in the Fediverse like to participate in.

Somehow I managed to finish another October daily art challenge (#Arttrober) without suffering a breakdown. So as usual I'm compiling all my drawings into a single post.

31 drawings of characters from classic(?) manga, animations and videogames posted with the #Arttrober2025 tag, based on the prompt list published by Stanley 'Artgerm' Lau.

Not a complete disaster! I even like a few of them.

Any favourites?

The final day of #Arttrober is personal choice—so I've drawn the Nahobino from Shin Megami Tensei V.

I've only played the demo of SMT5, but I did like it. My familiarity with SMT is mainly through Persona, though I've encountered earlier SMT games through Let's Plays.

Anyway, I thought the androgynous protagonist was quite distinctive, and worth drawing. So I did!

Day 30 of #Arttrober is Regina from the Dino Crisis videogames.

I'm not terrifically skilled at drawing guns, not least because I don't know much about them, which leads to me sketching them out in a very 'approximate' way.

In any case, Dino Crisis is a game that has not occupied space in my mind in a very long time.

Day 28 of #Arttrober is Sirene from the manga Devilman.

A more monstrous character than most on the list. Devilman is another manga I know of but have not read or seen any anime adaptation of.

Phew... I'd forgotten how draining drawing every day for a month can be. My respect to those who do it all the time.

Only three more drawings to go...

Day 27 of #Arttrober is Princess Daisy from various Super Mario games.

I'm not sure why I decided to draw her looking so very unimpressed with everything.

Hmm... I think I've probably spent more time watching other people playing various Mario games (World, Kart, Golf, Party...) than I've spent actually playing them myself.

Day 26 of #Arttrober is the Sorceress from the cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Though I recall watching a lot of He-Man as a child, I don't actually remember much about any of the characters other than Skeletor and He-Man himself. I don't recall the Sorceress at all.

I *do* remember the slightly weird 'Masters of the Universe' film from 1987.

Day 25 of #Arttrober is Faye Valentine from the anime Cowboy Bebop.

Cowboy Bebop is an old favourite of mine, though it's been a while since I last watched it. It might be time to do that again, given that it's one of the few animes I own a physical copy of.

There was also the live action remake, but unfortunately I never got an opportunity to see it—mainly due to not having a Netflix subscription.

Day 24 of #Arttrober is Ayane from the fighting game series and occasional volleyball simulator Dead or Alive.

I think Dead or Alive might be the major fighting game franchise I know least about, in comparison to the likes of Street Fighter, Tekken and Soul Calibur. In any case, I went for Ayane's 'classic' look for this prompt.
