Monsters of Music October Art Challenge!!!

It’s 2020 and Inktober’s reputation has been tarnished beyond repair (everything else is ruined, so why not?) Since then dozens of new and/or lesser-known lists of spooky art challenges have sprouted in its wake, so I thought I’d make one too. You could try drawing album covers, portraits of the musicians, comics about the creatures, anything really. Or just use the songs as your October soundtrack. Links to the songs are right below the list!
