I did not forget about #Inktober and #Botober2025, but several serious bad enough things happened irl and distracted me xD

Rub the Bog, Orenge Gelatinous Hourse, and a few more Halloween costumes are now on my website along with other Inktober art, and the rest of 2025 pics.

Botober Day 27: “1 cup sliced dish” I skipped a couple of Botober to keep up with Inktober but they’re so much fun, I thought I’d go back and finish them. 1 cup holds a slice of hot dish. #botober2025 #botober #1cupsliceddish #pyrex #hotdish #ink #art #drawing #alyssasarttherapy #resistthroughart

Botober Day 24: “Leanwhile” I skipped a couple of Botober to keep up with Inktober but they’re so much fun, I thought I’d go back and finish them. The tofu and cookbook are leaning while cooking… #botober2025 #botober #leanwhile #slicedtofu #cookbook #ink #art #drawing #sketch #resistthroughart

Well, #botober #botober2025 may be over, but my niece and nephews had me continuing the conceptual illustration theme with this pizza pumpkin!
Pumpkin with pepperoni eyes and a dripping cheese tongue (it’s not puke, honestly!)

Botober Day 31: Orenge Gelatin Hourse

The real Halloween horror is cleaning up the kitchen after this debacle.

31. Orenge gelatin hourse
I reckoned orenge was a yellowy orange, and a hourse was a house shaped like a horse! (And I dreamed about horse-drawn hearses last night - was that connected? 🤣)
#botober #botober2025
A wibbly wobbly orange horse shaped like a Dala horse, with highlights to show it’s made of shiny jelly. The space under its legs is filled with a red door, and in its body are two windows. The curtains in them have patterns based on the painted designs on Dala horses

Had a dream that I’d twice in short succession come across the #botober #botober2025 prompt “cucumteragus” as a real word - once in an old newspaper in a library, and once on a signpost!

21. Cucumteragus
He’s a strange cucumber guy!
#botober #botober2025
Illustration of a lumpy cucumber guy with ruddy cheeks, with his hands on his hips, wearing a jaunty green hat with a pink flower on. He’s leaning at an almost 45 degree angle. One of the lumps accidentally fell in a suggestive place between his legs and two others form his ears

#botober2025 prompt 21: cucumteragus. I interpreted this as Cucumber + TeraGus, aka a cucumber with four of my pet rabbit Gus 🐰 🐰🐰🐰 loving the Bunnicula vibes of this one 🥒😈

#botober2025 prompt 20: 1 smorbs. Easily my worst drawing in this series, it's supposed to be a spherical smores.

#botober #dailydrawing #doodle
Ideally this hypothetically is a spherical smores. In reality it's not even worth imagining tbh.

#botober2025 prompt 19: grated pan. I tried to draw a frying pan with grates on it like an air vent grate. Needless to say, it didn't turn out grate.

5 nights left! Tonight I used the #botober #botober2025 prompt from the 23rd, "rub the bog". It sounded like something a group would chant, so I tried to come up with a context in which that "made sense".
A simple, hand-drawn comic strip in four rows. The first row shows a sunny scene in a bog or marsh with a wooden platform and stick figures standing on it, surrounded by tall grasses and water. The second row has two panels: Left panel: One stick figure, an adult, stands on the platform addressing a smaller stick figure, a child. Text reads: "Today, my son, you become a man." Right panel: The crowd of stick figures on the platform cheers. Text reads: "Rub the bog! Rub the bog!" The third row has two panels: Left panel: The child stick figure is face-down in the water and mud near the platform, with only their legs and torso visible. Text reads: "(rubbing)" Right panel: The child stick figure is back on the platform, standing upright and cheering. Text reads: "I did it!" The fourth row shows a crowd of stick figures cheering, with the text "Hooray!" above them, celebrating the child's achievement of rubbing the bog.

Day 26 of #botober2025 - pepper towels

Bear with me for one more week, and then I will return to my regularly scheduled derivative fantasy and low-grade furry smut. --🐺
