Title: Day 12 Wisp
Rating: G
Content Notes: Drawn directly with a fountain dip pen, no pencil. A water brush was also used for the background. This is the Bah Humbug chameleon ink from Diamine, which, as seems to be the wont (or won't) of these chameleon inks generally , not being very obvious to the eye or camera, one has to be really looking for it. And even then.

Title: Day 11 - Dragons
Rating: G
Content Notes: Drawn directly with a fountain pen, no pencil. This is the Glacier starbright ink from Diamine, and whoah it is super, super sparkly and took no effort at all to photograph in some of its glory. rdm kindly supplied another of his super classy pens he designed and printed, and eventually the Schmidt broad decided to let the ink flow.

So, dragons. I think I followed the brief here. :-) There's some more unusual characters here, I'm especially enjoying the Tatzelwurm (A dragon from the Alps that has the head of a ginger cat (!!) play fighting with the Quetzalcoatl inspired dragon. The little dragon in the left hand corner is gesturing grandly like this dragonmoot was all its idea. Perhaps it was. There's a well fed looking Ouroborus - maybe it should cut back on itself.

Anyway, dragons, lots of 'em in this A5 page.

Title: Day 10 - Recipe
Rating: G
Content Notes: Drawn directly with a nibbed dip pen, no pencil. This is the Velvet Emerald ink from Diamine, just a standard. It's a pretty nice green. So far I've been using a A3 Claire Fontaine sketchbook.

Oh well, it's there, it fills the brief and didn't suck to draw and I'm pleased with the spinach.

Just a quicky as I don't have a lot of time today. No horns on this Viking's helmet, thank you. What I like best is that the seaserpent is twining affectionately around the ship like a cat getting underfoot when you're going to the fridge for a treat for it.

Title: Day 8 - Under the bed
Rating: G
Content Notes: Drawn directly with a nibbed dip pen, no pencil. This is the standard 'Jacaranda' ink from Diamine. It's very pretty even if it has no sheen or shimmer.
 

I thought Under the *sea* bed might hold some intriguing possibilities so I went with it.

Title: Day 7 - Fluffy
Rating: G
Content Notes: Drawn directly with a nibbed dip pen, no pencil. This is the scented Sweet Dreams ink from Diamine. It smells artificial, maybe cherry or strawberry or raspberry. Something red anyway.

The prompt made me think of one of our native Australian carnivorous marsupials, the Wambenger or Brush Tailed Phascogale. These small endangered mammals (habitat destruction, cats, foxes) are arboreal and we've recently been seeing them on the camera trap footage that comes up on the Western Shield Camera trap project that I'm a moderator for. So I had one of the images up from there as a sort of a reference. Because these animals move very quickly, the image has no detail and is quite blurred so I took some liberties with mine.

Yay I've caught up!

Title: Day 6 - Ignite
Rating: G
Content Notes: Drawn directly with a nib pen, no pencil. This is Blizzard shimmer ink from Diamine. The pen is of [personal profile] rdm design with a cool ink window from the 3dprinter, fitted with a Schmidt 241 Broad nib.





So my original thought is that the mousy thing has kindly brought a match to reignite the dragon's fire which unfortunately went out after it went swimming. But it could just as easily be lighting the match for the mouse for some reason. What do you think is going on here?

Title: Day 5 - Mushroom procession
Rating: G
Content Notes: Drawn directly with a nib pen, no pencil. This is Nightfall chameleon ink from Diamine. The pen is one of [personal profile] rdm 's prototypes from the 3dprinter, fitted with a Schmidt 241 Broad nib. Drew this just before dinner, and I wish I could capture just how pretty this ink is. Unlike other chameleon inks from this maker, this one is not quite so subtle.

With the recent Erin Patterson case there has been a lot of media about mushrooms. I decided to keep away from the whole shebang and just go for a straight fantasy theme. Which, you know, was probably pretty likely in the first place I guess.

Anyway this was a really cool prompt for us, and I really enjoyed it.

Title: Day 4 - Pool
Artist: [personal profile] leecetheartist 
Rating: G
Content Notes: Drawn directly with a nib pen, no pencil. This is Masquerade shimmer ink from Diamine. The pen is one of[personal profile] rdm  's  prototypes from the 3dprinter, fitted with a Schmidt 241 Broad nib. I put my back into this one, it took me most of the day. And you even get a microfic to go with it.

I'd only ever seen one of the creatures at the quiet pond. I'd no idea what it was, just saw it the once, and I don't think it saw me. It was just sliding into the water, a Splendid Wren chittering at it as it submerged, and was lost amongst the lilies.

I didn't tell anyone about it, and I had already put my voice amongst those who wanted to preserve the place as a sanctuary. With Alcoa getting out of the place, we had a good chance while things were in flux, and really, lovely pool, ferns around and the birdlife was great.

Glad I did, because when the aliens came looking for their lost child, and when the authorities started asking around, I had a quiet word. I even got to talk with the kid after. Quite the experience.

And suddenly Earth is talking with the big guns of the Galaxy, and seems like they owe us a favour. When they heard I was pushing for the sanctuary before I'd even spotted Junior whether it was a cryptozoological treasure or not, that impressed them because they're conservationists too. Turns out they want to offer me a job helping them talk to people who'd like their help getting rid of all these nasty forever chemicals in their environments.

Okay, then.

This was fun to draw, loose and easy straight after drawing the first one, I am still in catch up mode.

Playing catch up for Drawtober, not too far behind.

So you're floating along in your submarine and suddenly out the porthole some strange selkie kelpie sea serpent thing is waving and pointing at something out of view. It looks friendly but what is it trying to say?

Drawn with a chameleon shimmer ink, which I have no chance of capturing in this light. It's the first of the purple inkvent calendar from Diamine which rdm bought me, a nice way to hit Drawtober.
