So there's the peryton, a strange winged deer composite monster apparently from fakelore, disappointingly. One of the things about them was that they had the shadow of a man (or presumably woman perhaps if they were gender matching), and to get its own shadow it would have to kill someone to do it. So this got me thinking, maybe there were people out there who had the peryton shadows. What difficulty would that be for them. Surely people would comment!

It would probably easier for a peryton wanting a right shaped shadow to find someone to kill, than a person finding a peryton. Or did they have to find someone in particular who had their shadow. And why would the peryton even care. It's not like the other perytons would burn them at the stake for having the wrong shaped shadow.

The story of the person who had the shadow of a peryton and refused to hand it over could be quite a read.

Also I was just about wringing out the brush pen, it needs refilling now.

You know the stories that say never leave the path once you're in the forest? The forest has grown up all over the road. Every year the numbers on the sign decrease, and no one sees who's altering them. Moon courtesy of ink drop.

A seaserpent and a firedrake




Two great reptiles twine around each other. Took about an hour or two to draw. As is my tradition doing these October draws, no pencil, no erasing, so any blots, and there were some, were worked into the design. Van Dieman's Ink Azure Kingfisher in, J Herbin Rouge Opera with some other red contamination I think and Pelikan's Rose Quartz. Little Kaweco Sport, Twisbi Eco and Lamy Safari Vista.

A headache and a disrupted day but it's better than nothing. Ratatosk looks full of himself. Nidhogg looks like he wants to chew something other than Yggdrasil roots. And the Norns its just business as usual. The Eagle looks like it's more interested in what Vetrfolnir has to say.

She's not a Dutchman, nor is she flying. There are other ghost ships sailing on the sea, and they all have their stories. I think I kind of got a scrimshaw vibe going on here in some ways. This liminal ship, sailing on the edge of wave and atmosphere, of reality and unreality was based on a ship I saw in Finland, a lovely full rigged ship. Ask [personal profile] rdm about full rigged ships and why they're not barks or schooners. If you have some time. Yes, Rob, that's fine, thank you, very interesting. Go back to work.

The russet ink in the Conklin ran out yesterday, so I cleaned it an put the J Herbin Vert Reseda in, very pretty. But I forgot to clean the lid out, so some of it is a mix between the two.

Today's Drawtober prompt is Three. Three little dragons, not long from the shell prance and mock fight together. They're all drawn in shimmer inks, one in Rose Quartz, one in Golden Lapis and one in Purple Pazazz.

Hello! I'm running a Big Bang event and there's a fic in need of art, would anyone here have time to create something? Posting is scheduled for sometime in December. 

The fic is a crossover. The fandoms are Person of Interest and Girl Genius.

If you're interested, a more detailed summary of the fic is at

So I got to thinking of Journey of the Sorcerer and the HHGTTG and stuff and doodled this traveller up. Some Sorcerer or other with their copy of The Material Plane on 2 Mana a Day ready to set out.
