Title: Inktober - Days 1-6
Artist: mekare
Rating: G
Fandom: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Wonder Woman/DC
Characters: Wonder Woman, Hippolyta, Legolas, Gimli, Galadriel, Arwen, Tauriel
Content Notes: This is my first time taking part as well. Somehow I started with gold ink and couldn't switch to black up to now *g*. Previously I had only used it for Elvish writing or decorative stuff. I am slowly learning the possibilities and limits of working with it. I had planned to post every two to three days and so far it worked, despite my main focus being on my Big Bang pieces (one still left).

These would look so amazing framed, as a series in a library wall. :)

What a great idea to use golden ink on darker colored paper! It fits LoTR especially well and the drawings are very nice, I especially like teh Galadrielle one.

Regarding the Tauriel drawing, maybe she looks a bit scarry because her lips and eyes are over-defined? You could try to leave "breaks" in the outline of her eyes (especially at the bottom) and lips, it would soften her looks I think.

Thank you! I originally used the ink for Elvish writing and thought the black paper would make a nice contrast.

And thanks for the tips of broken lines. I think I'll try that out soon.

These are really good and a clever way of using a gold pen on black paper - I like it! :-)

A very belated thank you!
