KiwiTober 2020: Beauty Parlor Edition - Like InkTober, but more autistic

[Punkinsplice]

Inspired by the annual InkTober challenge (created by Jake Parker in 2009), I proudly present KiwiTober, a month-long creativity challenge crafted especially for Farmers who enjoy making visual art, poetry and literature, short videos, memes, and any other sharable artforms.

If you are not familiar with InkTober, it is a daily ink drawing challenge that takes place every October. Thirty-one prompts are released ahead of time, and participants share their artwork based on these prompts on social media. The link above has more information if you want to know more about its history.

KiwiTober is open for a variety of media traditional and digital visual art (including photo manipulation and memes), short videos, stories, poetry, etc. The daily prompts listed below are the unifying theme to this experience.

Why KiwiTober? It’s just a fun thing, and if you are not excited by the other prompt lists posted out there, maybe a KF Beauty Parlor themed one will tickle your fancy.

Rules:

• Use the KiwiTober prompt provided for each daily submission. Interpret it as you will, but at least label your post with the day and prompt for clarity.
  
  
• Protect your identity! Remove exif data when applicable, and do not post your KiwiTober entry on social media sites. Don’t link to sites that might reveal your identity.
  
  
• You can post a submission every day if you are so inclined, but that is not required.
  
  
• You do not have to use the same type of medium every time. You can mix it up with haikus on some days, drawings or short prose on others, etc.
  
  
• Please keep your prompts in order. We are on different time zones, so it’s not a big deal if you are a day off from the OP time zone, but don’t skip ahead to day 10 on October 3rd or shit like that. Just skip prompts that don’t interest you.
  
  (Edit: If you combine prompts in one submission, please submit around the time of the latest prompt. For example, if you want to make one piece with prompts 1-3, post around the third)
  

This is just something fun that some of us came up with. I lost track of who submitted what prompts (sorry Gorls!), but I want to thank some excellent farmers who contributed to this endeavor:

@spillmilk
@Fascist Ferret
@ADHD
@behavioral swamp thang
@hamburgerlardraid
@Pineapple Fox
@mrsm0rbid

Without further sperging, here are the prompts:



InkTober participants get a month to plan, so I created this post before the beginning of October in case you need some extra time. Feel free to discuss the idea before we start posting our creations!

Cannot wait to see these degenerate creations. NO copy and pasting garbage pail kids! Lmfao

 

[MerriedxReldnahc]

I'm totally down to join in! I will be doing a seperate non-KF related Inktober as well so I don't know how many of these will be masterpieces, but it will be fun nonetheless.

I'm pretty retarded with prompts but as an example: Gorl of the Dead could be a drawing of any of the dainty deathfats but looking like a classic Halloween monster could qualify?

Sure! There is no hard fast interpretation for the prompts. Whatever strikes you when you read it is usually good.

 

[behavioral swamp thang]

Omg @Punkinsplice , I just read the prompts... SYPHILITIC EYEBALL.... ya'll can bury me now, cuz I'm dead

 

[Gunslinger]

This looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Cake Farts]

Yay! More site activities! I missed secret santa last year so I hope I can contribute stuff this year!

 

[Pope Negro Joe the XIIIth]

Wow, I have no idea how that slipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder lol.

 

[DatBepisTho]

I'm going to do my best to make a couple of shitty kiwitober theme tattoo designs, for the Bad Tat peeps.

 

[Easy Peasy]

Yes beech! I'm already plotting a few of these

 

[Punkinsplice]

I can't wait to see what you all come up with! I am sketching some ideas as well. Just a reminder, though, that other art forms are welcome, too. Don't feel you have to create a perfect masterpiece every time, either. It is all in fun!

 

[AbyssStarer]

Why are you making October-themed threads more than a week before the month even starts? Just enjoy September.

 

[T0oCoolFool]

I can't draw worth a damn, but I'll join anyways. Sounds fun.
