Since Dragonsinn is a hobby website, and not an email marketing funnel, I’m shifting to RSS and monthly recap posts on the blog.

Thanks #Guild11Mysterium for the super fun 3 prompts!

My brain read today's prompt as "Bespoke Besties" (instead of "Beasties") so here's a quick sketch with pumpkin + spider clipart.

May work on the first "Precocious Pumpkin-lings" prompt belatedly, as I just saw the post a few days ago 🎃

Used to see tons of these in Singapore.

With vector filter. I'll try to get Day 22's body proportions more accurate.
