Sanderstober 2024

SANDERSTOBER IS HERE! Once again, my friends and I are creating art prompts for you all to try your hand at for every day of this month, if you'd like! Try one, try some, try all! If you miss a day but still want to do a prompt from a day you missed, please go ahead! This is all just for fun. If you'd like to share your creations, you can use #Sanderstober2024. I'd love to see! Hope you enjoy them! 🍁

October 1: Always gotta start out this day with the traditional prompt! take a character from media or OC and draw how they look on September 30th vs. how they look on October 1st!

October 2: Create a sheet ghost, but featuring the pattern of a sheet/blanket you own or maybe used to own when you were younger. - This idea came from my friend, Andrea!

October 3: A quick Google search of “keyblade designs” (the weapon from Kingdom Hearts) would show you how the weapon changes based off the property the character goes to! Design a keyblade based around any piece of media, as if the main character from Kingdom Hearts traveled there… - This idea came from my friend, Rene!

October 4: There’s a lot of fast food and cereal mascots out there… I think you know where I’m going with this. Take any of those mascots and turn them into a MONSTER or KILLER.

October 5: This one’s a play off a prompt from last year AND it’s a writing prompt! Take any famous character from a horror film, and create a nursery rhyme about them. You can make it completely innocent, or, like many nursery rhymes, remain dark but disguised in pretty language.

October 6: Take your favorite animal… and dress it as your dream profession. - This idea came from my friend, Talyn!

October 7: Take one of your favorite movies and reimagine if it had been marketed as a different genre (e.g. Hellraiser as a family comedy, Goodfellas as a romance, etc.) - This idea came from my friend, Joan!

October 8: Turning things into Pokemon tends to be a favorite prompt of mine, and this year, the category is… fast food! Take any fast food of your choice, create a Pokemon, and name it!

October 9: Take any foreign animation cartoon and draw them in the style of a western animation! - This idea from my friend, Dominic!

October 10: Definitely a sucker for fall fashion and aesthetic, so take any character or group of characters from one of your favorite pieces of content and give them a fall aesthetic makeover.

October 11: Crows collect shiny things… what things might the nest of a crow contain from one of your favorite fictional universes? - This idea came from my friend, Lev!

October 12: Take any color and ONLY use that color in order to depict a Halloween, horror movie, or fall scene.

October 13: A very expressionistic vibe for this prompt: draw the aura which you hope to be walking in during fall or Halloween. - This idea came from my friend, Valerie!

October 14: There’s LOTS of new words and sayings out there (skibidi, rizz, Ohio, ick, etc.). Google some, you’ll learn a couple new ones. I want you to create a Halloween monster/creature/cryptid based off one of these new words, as if they were the names of the creatures themself (Oh my gosh… it’s the legendary Los Angeles Ick…)

October 15: Sure, people are scared of Halloween monsters… but are there things that would be scary to those monsters? Get creative and depict some things/scenarios that would be terrifying to a typical Halloween creature! - This idea came from my friend, Jackie!

October 16: Those new horror-fied versions of fast food/cereal monsters from October 4 need weapons… take a meal or the cereal from the brand you got your mascot from, and create a weapon inspired by it!

October 17: There has been lots of theorizing in the fields of science on how the human body may evolve in order to either perform modern tasks better or survive… SO, imagine up a human evolution that has adapted to survive some environment (fire, spider bites, rejection), or one that has adapted to perform a certain task (tennis, gaming, folding clothes). - This idea comes from my friend, Joan!

October 18: So, Toy Story 5 has been announced… draw the next toy that’s gonna be introduced as a character in it.

October 19: Returning to an annual favorite of mine… take any character(s) from a piece of media and depict them in the style of a Tim Burton character.

October 20: As a play off of Dominic’s suggestion from an earlier day, take any western animation’s characters and depict them in the style of a foreign animation!

October 21: Taking inspiration from the movie, Hocus Pocus, take any character from a piece of media and depict them riding what *they* would probably bewitch into a broomstick if they had to in a pinch!

October 22: They’re giving your favorite background character a spin-off series. What does the poster for it look like? - This idea is from my friend, Dominic!

October 23: Ok… that monster/killer mascot you made on October 4th? The movie has to have a setting. Maybe an appropriate building? Maybe an entire town… Depict that setting…

October24: Take a character from your favorite movie/tv show and depict them as if they were a character in a fighting game like Smash Bros. or Street Fighter! What does their special/ultimate move look like? - This idea came from my friend, David!

October 25: Take any fun/special memory from your life and create a children’s book cover inspired by it. - This idea came from my friend, Stephanie!

October 26: Take your favorite classic Halloween monster and use them as inspiration for a new species of insect… - This idea came from my friend, Dahlia!

October 27: This feels like a classic for any time of year: take any favorite piece of media and cast the Sanders Sides in it.

October 28: [Any of your favorite pieces of media] … and Zombies

October 29: Think of a very important key object from one of your favorite movies or tv shows that the protagonist(s) finds. Now imagine they never stumbled upon it. What would it look like 100 years later? What else may have happened to it if the protagonist never found it? - This idea came from my friend, Chantz!

October 30: Now… we combine the ideas together to make the ultimate new Halloween villain! Take your creations from October 4th, 8th, 16th, and 23rd, and place them all together to create a scene of them terrorizing the main protagonists!

October 31: And, as a classic end-of-the-month tradition, today’s prompt is about celebrating the reason for the season, Halloween! Imagine if Halloween was like New Year’s Eve for Halloween creatures/characters. What would they look like, dressed all fancy for the occasion and celebrating?

Got the list fully completed! Looking forward to whatever you all create!

sanderstober day 1! twoey drinking a pumpkin spice latte and eating people . fun fall activities!!

check out my brother's day 1 post here @theweirdestroller

[drawings-and-sketches]

(ID: Video with fanart of Jackson Jekyll (white, short black hair with yellow streaks, and blue eyes) and Deuce Gorgon (white, green snakes for hair, eye color unseeable because of sunglasses) from Monster High 2010. They are sitting on a curb talking- outfits are changed to vampire costumes that I made- Jackson's is a blue long sleeved shirt, gray vest and red pants, and Deuce's is a black cape, dark green long sleeved shirt, gray pants, silver beanie, and silver ascot thing. Images are to the song "If You Love Me for Me" from Barbie Princess and the Pauper.

image text

Jackson: I have to tell you something.

Jackson: I'm a monster.

Deuce: Well. duh- it's Halloween. Everyone is a monster tonight.

Jackson: No, I mean I'm an actual monster. Or half one, anyway. If you don't want to be with me anymore, I understand.

Deuce (offscreen): Me too.

Jackson: What?

Deuce: I'm a monster too. Look.

Deuce: *beanie off to reveal snakes* So, what do you say? Still wanna be together?

Jackson: *blushing* I- yeah. That is, if you love me for me.

Deuce (offscreen): I don't think that's going to be a problem. End ID).

For #Sanderstober2023, day 26! Shuffle your playlist and use the song title that comes up in Halloween/fall-themed drawing.

(link to post where it isn't a video, and there is a slightly more detailed ID since they are actual images and not a video- I haven't completely mastered IDs yet)

October 8: Turning things into Pokemon tends to be a favorite prompt of mine, and this year, the category is… fast food! Take any fast food of your choice, create a Pokemon, and name it!

For Sanderstober Day 8 I present to you...

HERMBURGER (I'm sorry the name is so funny to me ghfjdfgjd)

I haven't designed a pokemon in a while so it's a bit iffy but I like it!! I based it off a burger and a hermit crab (I know we already have hermit crab pokemon but the idea had me in a chokehold and wouldn't leave)

It's pincers double as stingers, hence the poison typing. Like a lot of poisonous species it has bright and attractive colours to lure in prey :3

(Obligatory new Thomas Sanders song mention because 'Yours' is coming out today and you guys should listen to it!)

Also here's some sketches I made when brainstorming:

Sanderstober 2024 Day 3: Keyblade Design

I decided to participate this year for Sanderstober and the prompt for October 3 is to create a keyblade for any media. So…what would happen if Sora happened to end up in Thomas's head?

Tagging @thatsthat24. I had fun with this one!

Sanderstober 2024 Day 5!

I can’t art but I can do a writing prompt!

October 5: This one’s a play off a prompt from last year AND it’s a writing prompt! Take any famous character from a horror film, and create a nursery rhyme about them. You can make it completely innocent, or, like many nursery rhymes, remain dark but disguised in pretty language.

I did the 5 friends from The Cabin In The Woods movie and wrote it in the style of Edward Gorey’s macabre nursery rhymes—

That- that still counts right? 😅

Hope to do more writing prompts if any come up! 😁-Erin (aka earlgreymylove)

Sanderstober 2024 - October 31st

@thatsthat24 Depict the Halloween monsters celebrating Halloween as if it was their New Year's Day. Something typical of New Year parties is dancing conga, and here they are a bunch of monsters "congaing" their butts into November. This is the last official prompt of this year's Sanderstober game... but I still have some little bonus thingy in store for today, later on... Happy Halloween!

Hermit Halloween Mischief

Scar and Grian dressed up as HotGuy and CuteGuy for Halloween. They could be on their way to a HermitCraft Party or to do some spooky pranks, who knows. Made for the Oct 31st Sanderstober prompt.

Sanderstober Day 8

Black cats are NOT actually bad luck, but for the sake of the prompt, I drew the opposite version for the winter version! 🤍

Oct. 2nd

I know, I know. Candy corn is actually corn, but I love the idea of a venus flytrap but with candy corns as teeth! (Or whatever these thingies are called)

Sanderstober 2023

Upon request, I’ve provided new art prompts for this year’s month of October!! As always, feel free to do all or some of these, pick and choose whichever stands out to you! If you missed a day’s prompt but still wanted to do art for it, absolutely do that and post it whenever you want, no worries whatsoever. It’s all completely laid back and just for fun! I’ve added to this list without consulting old ones, so if I used a repeat idea, it’s possible that I just was interested in seeing more of it again this year!! Hope you all enjoy! If you’re wanting me to check them out at all, you can use the tag, #Sanderstober2023 🎃

Oct. 1st: Give me a spooky or Halloween-y figure and how he looks on Sep. 30th (their off-time, go as comical as you’d like) and then how they look Oct. 1st (traditionally how they are known to look!).

Oct. 2nd: Give me a flower design inspired by a type of candy of your choice!

Oct. 3rd: In celebration of the awesomeness that is Fionna and Cake, I’d love to see you take a character, or characters from your fave series, and give them a multiverse makeover (what they’d look like in a different universe, under different circumstances)

Oct. 4th: Take any historic landmark, and give it an autumn or Halloween-y makeover

Oct. 5th: Since I’ve been on my D&D kick with Roleslaying with Roman, what would any Halloween- or spooky-themed character be in a D&D world? What would be their race? Their class? Their backstory??

Oct. 6th: Google a Random Color Generator and use it to give you three colors. Then use those three colors to create a new Halloween creature or character.

Oct. 7th: Along the lines of Spiderman Noir, take any character you want from some sort of fiction, and depict how they might look like in any other time period!

Oct. 8th: In the spirit of having fun with both Halloween AND Christmas, take a Halloween story/character and draw what they might appear as if they were actually a character talked or sung about in a Christmas story.

Oct. 9th: Take a group of characters from one of your favorite pieces of content and create tarot cards featuring them. Google tarot cards to get inspiration if you need!

Oct. 10th: Take a musical (one that I would suppose wouldn’t already be scary) and create a poster for it as if it were the title of a scary movie

Oct. 11th: Google a Disney character generator, pick out two characters, and create what a mash-up of those two characters would look like!

Oct.12th: Pumpkin spice latte obviously has its spotlight during the fall, but could you come up with another special coffee concoction for another season/holiday of the year?

Oct. 13th: Take a Fall/Halloween concept or character and use it as inspiration for a fashionable outfit

Oct. 14th: As a tribute to Barbenheimer this year, take any character from Barbie or Oppenheimer and depict how they’d appear in the other movie

Oct. 20th: Take any Greek god and imagine what their preferred activity might be on an average Fall day.

Oct. 22nd: This is an annual favorite of mine - take take any character(s) from a piece of content of your choice and depict them like a Tim Burton character

Oct. 23rd: Take a famous brand logo (Toyota, Playstation, Campbell’s Soup, Facebook, literally any logo from anything) and design a Pokemon inspired by the logo and color palette! Bonus for naming it and giving it stats!

Oct. 24th: In the spirit AGAIN of having fun with both Halloween AND Christmas, now take a Christmas story/character and draw what they might appear as if they were actually a character talked or sung about in a Halloween story.

Oct. 25th: Another favorite of mine: take any character(s) from a piece of animated content you enjoy, and draw them in the style of another piece of animated content!

Oct. 26th: Go to the latest playlist you were listening to, put it on shuffle, and see what song it plays. Take the title of that song and use it as inspiration for a Halloween/Autumn themed drawing of your choice.

Oct. 28th: [Random event from this past year] … and Zombies!!

Oct. 29th: Every town’s got some local businesses with interesting names (Jerry’s Tire Barn Emporium, stuff like that). If you know of one in your local town, take that name, and imagine it to be the name of a Haunted House. Depict what that location may look like. I wanna learn about some funny local business names.

Oct. 30th: Take one item from your desk/workspace, anything you want. This item is now the inpiration of a brand NEW cryptid (like Sasquatch, Loch Ness, El Chupacabra, just some legendary creature we have yet to find hard evidence of). Depict what this cryptid would be!

Oct. 31st: And, of course, in typical fashion for the big day, give me any character(s) of your choice, from any piece of content, enjoying Halloween in whatever way seems appropriate to them!!

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL October! And hope you enjoy these different art ideas! Looking forward to anything it may bring about!

Prompt list by @thatsthat24

It's the stinky rat guy :D

He has earrings becos I like adding them to characters who don't have them ;w;

been cross posting these from twitter and Instagram ^^!

..Curious , would anyone want to see my Virgil cosplay? (I wanna show Thomas but I'm nervous too ack)

[sp1d3rpu7k]

I’ve had a large lack of time to do any october art challenges lately, but I managed to find some time today since I got back from work like about 2 hours ago and i saw the awesome prompt for Sanderstober for today, so i figured id take a shot at it :D

The prompt is : ‘Take one of your favorite movies and reimagine if it had been marketed as a different genre (e.g. Hellraiser as a family comedy, Goodfellas as a romance, etc) - This idea came from my friend, Joan!’

I can’t actually choose a favorite movie, so I decided to find a good old disney movie! Kind of went a little sloppy, but I put effort into it for the most part ! :D (also im partially sorry for making it sad lol)

Sanderstober 2024 - Day 2

I kinda got *four whole days behind* due to busy schedules, so I decided to run through the prompts and try to catch up. When I was born, my aunt made me this frog blanket, and I still have it. Of course, my stupid ahh didn't think to LOOK at it, so this is from memory, but here we are!

Sanderstober 2024 Day 27: Sanders Sides Casted In Favorite Media

The prompt for this day is to take any favorite piece of media and cast the Sanders Sides in it.

I really liked That’s not my neighbor and I thought two certain imposters were fitting for that game. But I also loved undertale and threw in the sanders sides softies as two of the most softest characters from that game too.

Thanks again for the prompt @thatsthat24
