Ged MaheuxTime-lapse process for Day 19: Ridge
Didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted but still happy overall. Just wish it was a bit more luminous . 🤷♂️

Time-lapse process for Day 20: Uncharted
Gilligan’s Island was my happy place as a kid. I would come home from school and watch at least 2 episodes which were played back to back. My mom *hated* the show but I loved it.
I tried to squeeze in as many Easter eggs into this sketch as I could - the WWII Magnetic mine, the island volcano, the cave, quicksand and more. Watched a couple ep while I drew which was also fun. 😄

I’m not really happy with this one, would’ve done a lot of things differently but it was late and I think I fell asleep twice while drawing it. :-/
Time-lapse process for Day 22: Camp
What you don’t see here are the THREE attempts I made before this one. Couldn’t get the grid size and the flame shape just right. Much trial and error. I like how it turned out in the end though. Gotta push a few pixels every now and then.
Time-lapse process for Day 23: Rust
It’s amazing how subtle changes in eye position can make a character look spot on or “off”. Struggled a bit with Bender’s eyes here. Didn’t want him to look mean or have “resting robot face” but slightly drunk or off-kilter with his rusty beard growth. Very fun to draw. #Inktober #Futurama #HumanArt #LineaSketch

Day 24: Expedition
Time-lapse process for Day 24: Expedition.
Be sure to turn your sound up on this one! 🎶 Also, remind me to never draw a nine-sided technical object ever again. 🥴 This made me want to continue watching SG-1. I stopped somewhere at the start of S3 and need to keep going.
My drawings for the second half of Inktober. Favorites this time around are probably 13: Horizon and 15: Guidebook. I love drawing eWorld stuff so that one was super fun to create. There’s only a handful of days and drawings left… where did October GO!?
“I think I’ll miss you most of all.”
Day 25: Scarecrow
Time-lapse process for Day 25: Scarecrow.
No sketching, just drawing and it turned out okay! Will try to do more like this in the future if I can work up the courage. #Inktober #Halloween #HumanArt #MastoArt #LineaSketch
Time-lapse process for Day 26: Gamera
I’m not sure I made the right color choices on this one, could be a lot stronger I think but the play on words was still fun to draw and I love shading with halftone dots. 🤷♂️ #Inktober #Halloween #HumanArt #MastoArt #LineaSketch
Time-lapse process for Day 27: Road.
I debated in my mind if I was going to actually draw this one and I decided I had to. Like most of you I simply cannot believe millions of Americans are prepared to embrace Trump and the fascism, lawlessness and racism he represents. I feel like I’m living on another planet. I hope we all soon learn our fears were unfounded. I hope. I hope. #Inktober #USPolitics #HumanArt #MastoArt #LineaSketch
Time-lapse process for Day 28: Jumbo.
Yes, I drew an elephant but I tried to make him as adorable as I possibly could to make up for my lack of cleverness.
Hard to believe but there’s only three days/drawings to go. Crazy.
Day 29: Navigator
I still carry a grudge to this day about Farscape being cancelled way ahead of its time.
Time-lapse process for Day 29: Navigator
This was so horrible at the very beginning I almost trashed it and went with a different idea. Stuck with it however and was happy how it turned out.
Could say that about a lot of things in life I think.
Two to go!!!
Time-lapse process for Day 31: Landmark
That’s a wrap on Inktober 2024. I hope you enjoyed following along as much as I enjoyed drawing. Inktober helped keep me sane in the run up to this stupid election so I figured it was fitting the final entry was about casting our critical ballots.
Thanks to all who liked or commented on my work, it really means a lot to me. I’m actually looking forward to next year, I just hope the prompts will be more exciting. 😐
Time-lapse process for Day 1: Mustache
Channeled Edward Gorey for this one, I have always admired his work. In college I wrote him to ask permission to use The Gashleycrumb Tinies in a school project.
I was delighted when he wrote me back & crushed when he said no. This was in 1994, pre-internet, only for class but he still said no. I never forgot it.
So I’ve always tried to give permission for my stuff when I can because of him. He died in 2000.
Time-lapse process for Day 2: Weave 🕷️
Note I flipped the lower corner content around at one point because I wanted the dungeon to appear like it was beneath the haunted house above. 😊
Time-lapse process for Day 3: Crown
This was one of those times when what I saw in my head and what ended up on the page were quite different. Sometimes it just doesn’t translate properly but that’s okay, it’s still pretty fun and spooky. I also added that final bit of background color long after I had “finished” the drawing, needed *something* back there.
Time-lapse process for Day 4: Murky
This one was inspired by one of my favorite online artists @csilverman. His use of color is amazing and his art has a unique otherworldly feel that I attempted to channel here to the best of my ability. This may end up being one of my favs from #inktober2025 I had a lot of fun creating it. Dark, spooky, and telling a story. 😱
PS - If you don’t follow Chris, I highly recommend following him. Such a treat.
Time-lapse process for Day 5: Deer
Not going to lie, this one had me vexed. Sometimes it’s the simple ones that are the hardest. 🤔
Time-lapse process for Day 6: Pierce
Time-lapse process for Day 7: Starfish.
Seen quite a few Patricks today so I’m glad I put a little extra spin on mine at least. Also happy I managed to get his smile to show through his ninja mask. 🥰 🥷
gumbario@gumbario Thank you!
