Welcome to the October Monthly Challenge! Unfortunately, we haven’t heard from Ellen E., who was planning to host for us, so I’ll go ahead and start this one. Hope all is ok, Ellen! We’d love to hear from you.:wave:
We welcome all mediums and skill levels in this challenge, so please feel free to join us. If you’re new, jump right in – the more the merrier. If you’re returning, welcome back! Glad to have you!
Please offer encouraging feedback on one another’s artworks, but don’t give any harsh critique unless it’s requested by the artist. I hope you find some inspiration in these images picked from the Reference Image Library. Draw or paint them as they are, or crop them, edit them, mix them up, or create your own compositions. We all look forward to seeing what everyone will do for the Challenge this month! Have fun. The sky’s the limit.
Since it’s October, I’ve chosen images that have the warm tones of autumn…golds, browns, oranges, yellows, and reds are prominent this month. Enjoy!

The warmth of the background is what makes this truly feel epic. It’s almost the color and texture of leather, which suits the overall feel of this piece. Amazing work on his powerful stance and attitude!
