I told my wife I was going to reinvent myself for 2026, but I didn't tell her how. It took her about a week to realize it meant I was going to let my mustache grow out a little. Nothing outrageous. I'm not going for super bushy or handlebars. And I may ultimately decide not to keep it. Half of it is coming in gray anyway, so it's not making me look any younger.
Give me the honest truth, I can take it. Yes or no on the stach?
If you can't see my selfie, you aren't missing much, but I'll give it my best shot. Head shot of a 57 year old white dude smiling into the camera (but no teeth showing), who perhaps looks slightly younger than his age, with a slight receding hairline, brown hair with just a smattering of gray, sort of slicked back on all sides, sporting a fairly light colored and relatively small mustache.

It's my first time playing along, and giving myself small areas to draw in seems to be a good start, that way I can't overthink things. Just draw.
A picture of a page out of a small sketch book labeled Inktober 2025 , the page is divided into 8 rectangles and two rectangles have been filled with my drawings for the first two prompts "mustache" and "weave"

Portrait d’après modèle de Mustacha premier, éminent général qui fut décoré pour sa stratégie, sa bravoure et sa moustache. Il est ici représenté dans les bras d’un de ses dragons pour faciliter le travail de l’artiste

Y ont été dessinés un homme moustachu en uniforme de dragon (les cavaliers, pas le monstre) portant un gros chat avec une médaille dans les bras. Le chat a la même moustache que l’homme. Le nom « Mustacha 1er » est inscrit en dessous
Digital drawing in the Tarot card format, with a frame around the image and lines for number and name above and below it. Number of card is 1, name of the card is "The Mustache". The face of a dark haired person is half-visible between the legs of another person. Pubic hair before the face look like a thick mustache. The figures are coloured in ocher and the background behind them in a broken red. By broken I mean, not so bright. But colours change a lot in different devices anyway.
*Reposting in a toned-down version to reduce the terrible yellows that take over the image when opening on Android.
Mijn partner heeft wel eens een baard en snor. Het mooiste was de keer dat hij voor een historische verbeelding een 17e eeuwse baard en snor had laten knippen!
Ik groeide trouwens op met baarden en snorren: mijn vader had en heeft ze met regelmaat, maar die had nog nooit zo'n fraaie krul erin. Mijn schoonvader wel. #Inktober#mustache

This year I’ll tell the story of Esther and Érié’s journey back to Great Albion during which the two will discover each other
!
I’m mostly ready, there’s still a few words that I didn’t manage to make coincide with the story!
A black-and-white comic-style illustration featuring Esther and Érié on the deck of a steamboat. Esther is dressed in a stylish, vintage outfit with a large hat and ruffled dress, sitting casually in a chair. Erié, wearing her maid outfit, is lying next to her mistress, who is caressing her on the head, causing the maid to purr
