TEFtober art challenge
October 6, 2022 - 8:17pm — Urschanabi
Happy Halloween month, everyone! 
There's currently an art challenge going on on the TEFru discord server, kinda like Inktober, but more chill and TEF-related. Thought we'd invite all of you to participate as well!
Don't mind the dates, they are optional (and we should've posted this earlier, sorry!). Please feel free to draw anything from the list, even after the given date.
It's also completely fine to pick as many (or few) propmts as you like and skip those that don't resonate with you.
Your drawings don't have to be super detailed, they can be sketches, doodles - anything, really. This whole thing is meant purely for your enjoyment and inspiration! ♥
Post your art in the comments, and when the month is over we'll put all the drawings together into collages. Here are the prompts:

Awesome!
Looks like a fun event. Thank
Gonna be lovely to see it all together.
BAT An attempt to play on
An attempt to play on perspective to make it seem like Illrose has wings, inspired by the scene with the eagle in Spirit: stallion of the Cimarron :') ( transparent version with Illrose and the 'main bat' here if that works better with the collage.)
OMG, Snow, it's
Thank you so much for participating, you're making me wanna try and draw something myself, even though I'm not an artist.

CANDLES I guess Svanrand is
I guess Svanrand is not too happy about having her horn turned into a candle 8( ( transparent version here once again).
Snow, these are great. I love
Urschanabi,
Does this close today and if toworrow, at what time? I'm thinking of squeezing some doodles in.
Also @ "wanna try and draw something myself" I'm not an artist either. Do itt.
@Uitleger: Ah, if only I had
Ah, if only I had time
Technically today was supposed to be the last day of the challenge, but I doubt I'll be able to make the collage before weekend (and there haven't been too many works yet), so I guess the deadline can be extended!
Everyone who wanted to participate is still welcome to post their art before the weekend!

Just one doodle, man. -dark
Plenty of time for a slow zombie like me, perfect.
One last question, then. What's a TEFsona?
Huh, I might try, but I can't
Ah, it's just a TEF character, in any form you like)

"Just one doodle" they said,

Well, the point of doodling
I can definitely see (and admire) those 5 hours in this, this is a lively looking bat. I like its 5-hour expression.
1. [TEFsona in a costume] Guess my pre-Halloween set looked like a costume, so I sketched OOCer as Tin Woodman with some exploded head pipes.
2. [Bat] I figured Lem's design would be fun to convert into bat anatomy. He'd be of a false vampire species, a mutation with a double noseleaf. He prolly ain't gonna survive long like that and he knows it.
-exasperated bat ultrasounds-
3. [Halloween dance] "Thriller", naturally.
4. [Candles] 'Young' in a skull mask pretending to be an adult/have a smoke.
5. [Big Zombie Deer] BZD sounds like a place where the delinquents would be hanging out.
6. [Forest Candy] Halloween would be just another day of work for the Kid. Trying to make some moolah off of rare forest frogs. And yeah, he'dve demanded that OOCer write the signs for him:
Ignore these if you've already compiled the collage, I don't wanna inconvenience you.
In case you haven't started I may squeeze the last two doodles in.
Ohh, thank you, I didn't
The BZD art is one of my favourites, and I'm also very glad to see Lem again, even in such unusual form))
Would love to see more, but I think that'll do for now, 'cause there aren't too many participants and I want to keep it balanced. We should probably do a similar thing again sometime!

Aw, I thought there was more
No problem) *fights the urge
*fights the urge to list Young under the "Creepy fawn" category instead of "Candles"*
Also idk why I keep misreading the Tin Woodman as a Tin Woman (which must be a low-budget edition of the Iron Lady).

I actually had a weird
Hah, not as easy on the ear as its Russian version. When I hear Tin Woman, I imagine one with a tinfoil hat and extravagant clothes.
Hey, looking good, thank you for your time putting it all together.
Love all the talent and styles featured, I only wish there were more entries, it'd be grand. Next time, I hope.
