DRAWESOME

Title: No.29 Bell

Artist:leecetheartist

Rating: G

Content Notes: Vaguely inspired by stories of hearing about mermaids ringing the bells of submerged churches to warn of storms.

Diamine's Sugar Snap ink, with the bell using Pelikan's Golden Lapis. Touches of another ink which I don't know what it was.

Title: No.27 Fire

Artist:leecetheartist

Rating: G

Content Notes: Drawn with a Kaweco Sport, mainly. I'm not sure what the ink in the Kaweco Sport was, that I used for the dragon. It's got a sheen, and also seems to have a shimmer, so maybe I can track it down, but it's closest to Sleigh Ride from Diamine so let's go with that for now.

The new Pelikan ink helped with the orange bits, and the rest is just some brush markers.

Title: No.23 Undersea

Content Notes: And what is starting to be in the grand tradition of using an Inkvent Calendar during one of these challenges Diamine has presented me with the standard ink "Fireside Snug" which I think is about as far as you can get from an Undersea prompt.

However this thing just started drawing itself with the dip pen, and when you think about the colour of some of the kelp you get around here it all falls into place, so, my friends, let me present to you the Giant Kelpy Seadragon. This large and cryptically adapted dragon is no relation to the Leafy Seadragon being much bigger and no relation to the pipefish at all. They can be found anywhere there are large stands of kelp, particularly favouring the larger species like Giant Kelp.

Their cryptic colouration and fronds lets them ambush their prey, usually fish. There is no evidence that the resident Giant Kelpy Seadragon took Prime Minister Harold Holt although residents say that the creature was 'unusually agitated at the time' for reasons unknown.

Calls to destroy the beast were shouted down by locals and conservationists, and Finnigan, as the beast was affectionately known, was a popular attraction for many years before starting a migration to the Sargasso Sea in 1973 where the species is believed to spawn. What happened to Finnigan after this is unknown.
