Fandom: N/A

Content Notes: I went back to the nib that gave me no trouble and it was such a relief. Today's ink is Diamine's 'Tinsel' and a fine ink it is indeed, even sparkling for the camera in the late afternoon sunshine.

Fandom: Frank Herbert's Dune

Content notes: I got so, so frustrated with the nib that I was using, it just wouldn't flow properly, I had to keep dipping and tapping and it would pool in the nib but not at the tip and threaten to get all over everything at once and I'm still really grumpy about it.

But. The ink is really pretty, it's Tranquility from Diamine and it's a lovely purple, and as if to try to make up for the nib it showed off some of its Chameleon sparkle for the camera.

I'm so grumpy though, I need cheering up. So, I need a caption for this picture.

If you're not familiar with why it is this Rhythm Band is in such peril ask in the comments.

Content notes: I love the evocative prompt so thank you to whoever had that idea! The ink is a chameleon shimmer from Diamine called Astral, and I even managed to get you a hint of its sparkle.

This page turned out to be more writing than drawing but I thought it was in keeping with being the diary entry of some off-planet amateur archaeologist surveying an intriguing site with a helpful local guide.

Here's a transcript in case you can't read my writing.

Desert Ruin.

There was not a lot to see.

My guide gestured. "Here we are."
Amongst the sand there were a few scattered stones, probably parts of some walls. But the main item was a dark stone statue half buried in the sand. Upright, large eyed and winged, although one was broken, the tip lying next to the sculpture.

"Thank you." I said to the guide. "Did the ancients look like this, do you think?"

A snort was my reply. "No one know what they looked like. They made us what we are, gave us intelligence and language but didn't deign to leave us with thumbs. All we have is an oral tradition of powerful beings."

I put down a survey marker. "Do you mind helping me?"

My guide flicked an ear. "You're paying me. And you made sure I can get the saddle off if I need to."

Content Notes: Dip pen and nib, the ink is Diamine's Cinnabun which is warm and very good to work with - smooth and rich. Usual, no pencil, no rubbing out. These psuedodragons are inspired by the real life Draco volans that has extended rib structures that enable it to glide.
One of the creatures has caught a dragonfly, and is unwilling to share with its companion.

Content Notes: Dip pen, usual, just straight pen to paper. An exercise in doodling and daydreaming, I don't know what other people daydream about but my mind took me to the sun and the moon, to rainbows and opinicus and unicorns and dragons and dinosaurs and numbats and sailboats, just sketching away in Diamine's Buck's Fizz chameleon ink. The photo doesn't do the tangerine hue justice, and the sparkle isn't picked up either. Huh, tangerine dream...

Anyway, a fun one, and pretty much just daydreaming on paper.

Content Notes: Dip pen and nib, the ink is Diamine's Lavender Frost, a dark grey purple with a nice silver sparkle, which miracle, I managed to capture a little of. Meanwhile, a few type 61's get squashed by the squash, in the finest tradition of TOHO's SDF ,and Tokyo tower which I had to truncate a bit is awaiting its fate. We've been watching a lot of TOHO lately, does it show?

The giant mutated squash couldn't help it if it woke up feeling seedy.

Ooh may we have a TOHO tag fandom please Drawesome admins?

Artist: leecetheartist

Rating: G

Fandom: original work

Content Notes: Dip pen and nib, the ink is Diamine's Merry and Bright shimmer, which I couldn't get to shimmer for you. The bits that do shimmer are gold against the green but it's a subtle one. Usual, no pencil, no rubbing out, and just something that vaguely came out of my head. I probably should've looked at some references. But why start now?

Title: Glitter

Artist: leecetheartist

Rating: G

Fandom: original work

Content Notes: Dip pen and nib, the ink is Diamine's Walnut. And while it is a perfectly servicable drawing ink, a dark sepia - it is an unfortunate ink to come up in the inkvent calendar on the day that Glitter is the prompt. *sigh* So it's the first prompt that I feel I have not really stepped up to the plate properly in execution. The deadly glitter I was imagining in this basilisk's eye I don't think really comes across. Maybe if I put a wash over everything except the eye? But I wasn't brave enough to do it.

Well maybe it doesn't really mean it. My basilisk/cockatrice usually wear sunglasses anyway because they tend to be friendly types.
The people at my Community Shed's art group burst into laughter when I referred to it as a killer chook.

Content Notes: Dip pen and nib, the ink is Diamine's Rainbow's End chameleon. And it's a lovely purple in, quite beautiful, with that oh so hard to photograph chameleon, mostly red sparkle. I tried hard to capture it for you but I needed a third hand. rdm might assist later.

Anyway, I remember reading the Flight of Dragons some time ago and I vaguely remember that they kind of came to a conclusion that dragons were very light and filled with buoyant gas, so that's how I'm figuring these hopefully acrobatic dragons are doing what they're doing.

Otherwise we're just buoyed by enthusiasm and physics just looking the other way for a bit. The dragon on the left is, however, trying to put a stop to all this nonsense.

The Eastern Dragon must have great balance. Reminds me of my niece in law, she's tiny, but is the base for her acrobatic troupe.

Content Notes: Drawn directly with a fountain dip pen, no pencil. A water brush was also used for some wash. And it comes with a little bonus story.

The penguins slid up onto the iceberg. "That was close! The leopard seals were bad, but the orcas were really fast!"
One of their number gazed up at the iceberg. "Um."
The iceberg, which before had only vaguely resembled a dragon, creaked and then grated out through its icicle teeth "Won't eat you. Bigger fish out there, you'd be barely a snack. Welcome."

"Oh. Thank you. What will you hunt? We can point the way to some shoals"

The ice dragon smiled, loosing several icicles which the penguins dodged warily. "You might say I have a Titanic appetite."
