Quicktober 31: Chocolate System Costume Collection 2

Quicktober! Quick draws for instant whims.

It's Halloween, and there's more costumes to enjoy!

At first I'd intended to do two for each of these two final posts for Quicktober, but once I got to four, I realized I was pretty much halfway done - and came up with an idea for everyone (with one exception, which you'll see below).

The poses and detailing work on all of the costume sketches were extremely fun to do; I felt like I was in the flow for the entire set, and I think it really shows through in the art.

For this set, we have Chili, Antoinette, and Me! Can you guess who we're dressed up as? There's clues and answers hidden below. 💝

Costume Clues

Chili has close ties to a very famous fighting game succubus.

Antoinette would fit quite perfectly into this stop-motion movie’s alternate world.

I might lack the confidence to step up to my calling, but I’ve got a lot of heart.

Costume Answers

Chili is dressed as Lilith from Darkstalkers, Antoinette as Coraline, and I’m dressed as the protagonist from Chicory.

My friend Spid suggested that I draw Antoinette as Pomni just as I was about to start working on these, and wow did that ever make me feel conflicted about which to pick. Coraline’s overt horror theme and plot points made me pick it for Antoinette over TADC’s themes of existentialism, though it was a very close choice.

Did you guess them all?

With that, Quicktober is done! What a trip it's been. For a while since starting it, I've felt like this wasn't as ambitious an undertaking as Kinktober in 2023, but sitting with that feeling a little longer, I think I made up for the lack of colour and linework that I showcased back then, with quite a bit of storytelling and doubling up on several of the ideas I made every day.

I'm proud of having gotten it done, and what I got done as a result of it, too; especially with a lot of the other challenges I'd been dealing with this month, and not having missed a single day despite, at times, feeling like I really, really wanted to.

With that said though, you might have noticed someone missing! That's because my friend MoT was kind enough to make a costume for Chip while I was working on the first ones of these on stream!

It's such an amazing piece! Look at the BuBuy²!! 💝

    All of those halloween pieces are fantastic! Absolutely adore the costume designs, though I could only name Coraline xP

    And omfg that art from mot- I wish I could reciprocate some of their generosity somehow, they’re such a sweetheart.

    You did incredibly well with this hon, I really hope you can carry some of the momentum you’ve built up with you. You should be proud that you stayed disciplined and kept making art in the face of the difficulties you dealt with this month. Motivation is easy, we all want to be creative, but you took that motivation and turned it into 31+ beautiful pieces of art. Fantastic work, and fantastic works <3
