Falling Leaves, Pumpkins, and Inktober

Hi, guys! Have you ever heard of the Inktober challenge? Inktober was created in 2009 by mister Jake Parker as a challenge to develop positive drawing habits. Now, it's a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. Inktober consists of 31 themes, one for each day of the month.

My friend Xavier, who is usually not that much into drawing but did find the courage to accept the challenge, asked me to join him in tackling the 31 Inktober tasks. Well... To be quite honest, I started much too late (I think it was October 14 when I made my first sketch), and I'm not even sure if I'll ever finish this project. However, it would be silly not to share my first doodles with you, because some of the themes somehow forced me to think outside of my comfort zone. :) I think the illustrations are rather funny and cute, and I hope you like them too.

See you next time!

The Princess and the Knight

Hey, buddies! It's about time to post some new updates, don't you think? I haven't had much time to share my latest creations with you, but rest assured! Art and cosplay are currently taking up all of my spare time, and that's exactly the way it should be. :3 While most of the recent Katwalk artwork is - unfortunately - top secret material, I still have a lot of other creative stuff to share with you, so don't run away just yet!

About two months ago, I got an email from a Flemish girl named Sara. She is currently engaged to a very sweet boy called Bruno, who recently became a policeman. In order to congratulate her hubby-to-be on his new position, Sara sent me the following art request. She asked for a Disney-style drawing of Bruno (wearing his cool, new uniform, obviously) and herself (wearing a wedding dress). The caption of the illustration says "Liefde is... elkaars dromen waarmaken" ("Love is... to make each other's dreams come true") - first of all, because joining the police corps was Bruno's biggest wish and Sara supported him in every possible way to make his dream become a reality, and secondly, because Sara wanted to marry him and Bruno proposed to her. Aww!

On a side note, do you remember that Undertale drawing from a few weeks ago? A big Facebook page called The Undertale Fandom shared it with their followers, and it received more than 300 likes! That's a personal record, for sure. :)

Stay tuned, more updates are following very soon!
