October ROADMAP for "the Month of Monsters!" (Patreon)

Welcome to October! My very favorite month! It's Halloween, the leaves are changing, the weather is finally cooling down, and it's the month Annie and I had our first date! So to celebrate, this October is going to be one of our biggest months yet here, with a new monster each week and a ton of bonus content! 

So what to expect?

For the Monster of the Month series: our theme will be "Halloween Monsters and Maidens!" For the monsters, I already have several new ones ready to go, but for the maidens, there were so many ideas that I couldn't pick one. So, I need your help! Later this week I will be putting up a poll with all my sketches to see which ones you think would be best to add to the series! 

Also, I'm excited to announce Monster-of-the-Month PRINTS and STICKERS will finally be available starting later this month on the Gallerygerard.com store! Watch for a post about that, (and maybe a sneaky little discount code) in the next week or so!

For the Classic Fantasy Illustration for the month, we are going to be diving into #Inktober! For last year's event we did this one:

For this year's #Inktober I am going to be doing watercolor and ink landscapes from the Plague of Dragons series! I will be sharing the inks and final paintings here on Patreon first, and the originals will be available at Illuxcon later this month.  

To go along with these new watercolors, I am going to be sharing my method for painting in ink and watercolor in a new, written, in-depth guide for this month's Tutorial! If you haven't checked out the tutorial series yet, this is the month to. I will be covering the complete process as well as tools I recommend! 

Thanks again everybody for all your support! This month is going to be a lot of fun. :D
