Inscryptober Week 5: Masquerade

The mage knight has cast off his armour...

For the last week of Inscryptober, I cosplayed at a local con as everyone's favourite freak, James Cobb! Styling those majestic muttonchops nearly ended me. Original design by @longelk.

(Someone at the con was selling Inscryption cards so of course I had to pay tribute)

A couple more pics under the cut!

Just one little stabby won't hurt...so I'd better do more than one little stabby :)

Majestic. Freaking. Muttonchops.

Inscryptober Week 4: Transcendence

I think this one is self-explanatory.

Inscryptober Week 2: Elements

This was what you meant by "elements", right?

Inscryptober Week 1: Transformation

I got kinda busy this month, so I'm a bit late. Just a bit. But I'm determined to participate, dammit, so now you get MS Paint shitposts from me, huzzah!

Anyways, I got a little bit literal about week 1's prompt and created the crossover of my dreams, and probably also P03's dreams. Mags and Grim-Gram of course transform into their animal forms from Act 1, and Leshy transforms into an elk.

INSCRYPTOBER 2024 is here! the annual art/writing-based inscryption event for the fandom to get creative and share cool art and writing for the spooky season!

as usual, we have one theme per week, and thanks to the way october is structured this year, we have five whole weeks of themes! and of course, there's no lower limit on participation: i’ll likely be doing one or two art pieces a week, and you all can choose to participate as much or as little as you’d like depending on your own schedules and creative stamina! this event is for fun, not stress ^^

thanks to the scrybruary and more discord server for helping me nail down the themes this year! if you'd like to join the server you can do so right here, it's a chill spot for sharing art and fandom discussion; though of course you don't have to join to partake in this event!

if you're new to the event, i highly recommend checking out the #inscryptober tag to see what other folks have come up with in recent years, and to see the themes we've had previously! i'm excited to see what everyone comes up with this year :D happy inscrybing!

my descriptions for the themes got a bit long this time, so if you'd like any guidance or inspiration for these themes you can find all that along with the plain text under the cut!

INSCRYPTOBER 2024

Week 1: Oct 1-5

Transformation

Between the changes undergone by the Disk’s characters to suit each takeover and the manner in which Inscryption itself has altered those unfortunate enough to encounter it, this first theme has quite a few spooky avenues to take! Let your canvas be bathed in the light of the full moon however you see fit…

Week 2: Oct 6-12

Elements

Blood and bone, energy and mox…the world of Inscryption has an unconventional array of core elements that make up its cards and residents! And considering that deep beneath the surface, each of those elements are mere lines of code and digital data…it’s entirely up to you how deeply you’d like to explore those elements.

Week 3: Oct 13-19

Out of Bounds

Inscryption’s disk has many characters, sequences, and secrets that were never meant to be seen…or were simply never completed. This is the week to poke around those dark corners and catalogue whatever horrors and oddities make themselves known.

Week 4: Oct 20-26

Transcendence

Named for the grand design of the Scrybe of Technology, but it could refer to any of the Scrybe’s varying ideal forms (or lack thereof) for the game of Inscryption. And, of course, it would be remiss to mention the possibility of transcending the digital realm itself.

Week 5: Oct 27-31

Masquerade

As always, Inscryptober’s final week is themed for the season! This is the week to dress Inscryption’s characters in spooky regalia and eerie accessories…or merely to make use of the game’s existing ties to elaborate masks and sinister guises! 

Special note: Inscryption's anniversary is on the 19th!

hey everyone! inscryptober is just around the corner once again :D i'm excited to run this little fandom art/writing challenge for a third year, and extra excited to see what everyone comes up with this time!

i'm currently putting together the themes for this year's event, and as always my askbox is open for any suggestions you might have for them! if you're new to the event feel free to check out the previous year's themes here and here to get a feel for the kind of prompts i tend to go with ^^

also, if you'd like a more direct hand in brainstorming ideas both before and during the event, feel free to join my discord server! i use it for both scrybruary and inscryptober, as well as just to chat with fellow inscryption fans! you can find the link right here

super excited to get everything set up again, and hoping to see a good turnout from awesome artists and writers alike this year! ^^

That one post about how Kaycee Inscryption would get along with Kel VotV has never left my mind and now that the 0.8 update is out, I could no longer resist drawing this dream team crossover. I imagine Dr. Kel would be a lot less lonely if he had an equally insane friend living in the base with him and helping him keep the local cockroach population down.

The Great Transcendence succeeded and everyone is alive and well again. To celebrate, Leshy throws a party at his cabin, and to thank him, his guests gossip about his romantic orientation behind his back.

After wrestling with the angry and uncooperative bear that is this hellsite for an entire day in my attempts to post this, here is my very silly Gay or European Inscryption animatic, reuploaded in a more Tumblr-friendly format! If you'd like to view the higher resolution version, you can find it on Youtube here.

Come fite me >:3

This weekend, I was morphed! Transformed! into the great wizard Magnificus at the KCC! After I cosplayed Leshy last year, I knew I had to cosplay my favourite Scrybe next. It was super fun getting to meet with other Inscryption cosplayers and roam around together as a little indie game posse :3 Bonus pics below the cut!

"I must...still...shake your hand..."

do u have games on ur xbob

Since Inscryption seems to have a large Slavic fanbase, I've been curious...

Also, add in the tags/comments where you're from and what about Inscryption appealed to you!

Context: asked the server to give me ideas for Amber's deadname for fic purposes; received a galaxy-brained suggestion in response

Awesome Scrybeswap designs by @determunition [x] and @ladylyra [x]!

Scrybruary Week 1: Role Reversal/Swap

Beast!P03 and Death!Magnificus make friends with a dinosaur...and possibly each other. Original image: [x]

Have a Holly Jolly Cardmas

After his grandson fails to convince the residents of a small, Christmas-obsessed BC town that they need a factory, Poe Carder decides to step in and get the job done right himself. Unfortunately, he didn't count on an old college acquaintance making things difficult for him, and now he has one week to learn how to play a card game called Inscryption (or open his heart to the magic of the holidays) - or be banished from town forever.

A Hallmark AU of @determunition's Retyrement AU.

Words: 114,903

Chapters: 16

Status: Complete

It's been one year since I wrote Have a Holly Jolly Cardmas, which is not only the longest fic I've ever completed but the as of yet longest fully completed Inscryption fanfiction on AO3. To think, all of this was the result of one silly comment I made on OLD_FOLKS HOME about a joke Hallmark AU that spiralled completely out of control. This post can be considered both a redraw of the original cover art I made for the fic as well as an updated link now that the story is finished. Shoutout to all the wonderful commenters whose words kept me motivated, and of course huge shoutout to determunition whose fantastic fanfiction inspired me to write this story. No foreknowledge of the Retyrement AU is required to read Have a Holly Jolly Cardmas, but if you enjoy this fic, I highly recommend hitting up the og fic, OLD_FOLKS HOME (X), afterwards.

Inscryptober Week 2: Cinema

The Fab Five of the world of Inscryption decide to help Rebecha fix her life - whether she wants them to or not. An assortment of utter nonsense ensues.

Inscryptober Week 3: Ancient History

Evil things dwell on that disk...

Cosplay by me :)

Inscryptober Week 1: Corruption

For week 1 of this year's Inscryptober, I drew the scene at the end of Chapter 19 of OLD_FOLKS HOME. Don't worry, Grimora's corruption of Mag's most loyal fanboy grandchild isn't all that sinister...probably.

it's time once more for INSCRYPTOBER! the annual art/writing-based inscryption event for the fandom to get creative and share cool art and writing for the spooky season!

just like last year, we have one theme per week! though these themes are explained in the post above, you may take any degree of creative license that you like in carrying them out; and, of course, there's no lower limit on participation. like last year, i'll likely be doing one or two art pieces a week, and you all can choose to participate as much or as little as you'd like depending on your own schedules and creative stamina! this event is for fun, not stress ^^

i've been seeing some hype already for this year's event, so i'm super excited to see what everyone creates!

special thanks to @shoot-the-clown2, @naturallydark, and @dookins for contributing to this year's themes! and thanks to everyone else who suggested possibilities in my inbox and last post as well ^^
