Covetober - Tumblr Posts
Ahoy, Me Hearties! Welcome to Harlowe Hearse's "Cove-tober," art challenge! Proceed only if ye dare.
This is just a fun art challenge I've had in mind for a while, and wanted to throw out there for the Candle Cove community to join in on during the spooky month of October if they please!
Rules:
If you're familiar with the popular yearly art challenge "Ink-tober," it'll be a lot like that. For every day of the October month there will be a prompt, and based on it you can make a piece of art.
However, unlike Ink-tober, you're free to make any type of art of your choosing, whether it be drawing, sculpting, writing, etc! Absolutely anything as long as it uses the initial prompt as inspo.
The only thing I ask is if you post your pieces, you tag them with "covetober." This is just to make them easier to find and see.
If your piece does include:
NSFW, Heavy Gore, or any topics that you think may be triggering for anyone at all or that minors shouldn't see
Please put it under a "read more link" (click the squiggly icon that is next to the "add link" option in the set of icons that pop up when editing posts) so as to keep this a safe and fun experience for!

Prizes:
Ohhhhh yeah. There's some loot involved!
At the end of the month when the challenge is finished, the ten posts with the most notes will be put in a public poll where people can go and vote for their favorite 3 (I trust given the chance people will have the decency to not vote for their own posts. We're pirates, not jerks people).
The prize for the three winners: I'll be taking character(s) illustration requests:
1st Place Winner: Will receive a full color + shaded illustration.
2nd Place Winner: Will receive full lineart.
3rd Place Winner: Will receive a cleaned up sketch.
I won't be giving notes to any posts for the challenge until it's all over just to keep things fair. I might also post some of my own art for some of the prompts throughout the month, but for obvious reasons they won't be a part of the challenge or considered for the poll.
If your posts include NSFW or any of the other elements listed earlier as cause for using the "read more" link, they will not be considered for the poll.
Request Rules:
I'll only draw at most 2 characters per request
The requested characters must either be candle cove related, or oc's/ self inserts.
You can make specifications about the request (what the character(s) are wearing, what they're doing, a specific color palette, a specific version of the character, etc.) as long as it isn't tooooo complex.
I won't be drawing any NSFW, SUPER heavy gore, fetish art, or anything I end up being uncomfortable with
The Cove-tober Art Challenge will begin on October 1st! May you have fair winds and following seas me maties!
My new laptop hasn't arrived yet (not fun) but I'm still trying to do some of Covetober! Here's day three! My favourite crew is the Laughingstocks of course!
I drew my version of their flag based off the one you can find in the wiki. I'm not too fond of the original but it's not a bad concept! I love the keys instead of bones, not gonna lie.
My morning college class is cancelled due to a sick teacher so here is my contribution to day four of Covetober: Abyssian
Here is our favourite pyromaniac! I don't think I've ever drawn her so what better time than during college hours I technically don't have?
For Covetober day five "Captain", I wanted to bring back my headcanon of Ms. Laughingstock being a pirate captain in life so I drew how I think she looked.
I even gave her a nickname as I think she was definitely motherly in life, part of my idea for my dynamic between her, Poppy and Milo too, "The Mother Of The Sea". Unfortunately, she's currently buried with her title, but as a Jane Doe as she was never given her name. (Also, that's partly because I don't have a name for her yet)
Day 9: Horrible
Sorry, no content really yesterday, it was my birthday ^^ Anyway, here's our favourite sorcerer
I drew this a while ago on a friend's iPad but I'll share it for Covetober day thirteen as he is my boy, my favourite
Him-
It's day 21 and I offer him
Day 22 of Covetober, AU. Art? For my love potion story?? It's more likely than you think
So many people have said that Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared and Candle Cove would be a perfect crossover. I wholeheartedly agree! Especially because I seem to latch onto puppets and dolls.
This is Sprout, a sunflower Florian. This is from an animation test and I wanted to post her for the last day of Covetober, as an example of florians.
