Title: No.31 Balls
Artist: [personal profile] leecetheartist
Rating: G
Content Notes: A lighter view of the guard dog of Hades. It's always the way, there are balls lying around everywhere, but which one does your typical doggo want? The one that someone else has. Fortunately in this case the serpent headed tail of the hellhound is willing the throw it for the rest of itself.

I like putting as much monster as I can - so I'm going with the descriptions of Kerberos as having the serpent headed tail, and the fur made up of snakes, I don't think it's done enough.

Various inks, including Diamine's Glacier, Bliss, Cocoa Shimmer and Sugar Snap and Robert Oster's Red Orange.

This was a great bunch of prompts and I hope that everyone else has had as much fun as me, whether drawing, viewing, or both!

Super fun Drawtober, thank you for the organisation!

Title: No.30 Mask
Artist:
[personal profile] leecetheartist
Content Notes: I was thinking about the Owl Service by Alan Garner (not anything in the book like this), and the Welsh legend of the woman of flowers, and thinking about a masquerade and vaguely wondering whether it's a good thing or a bad thing putting on a mask sometimes...

Diamine's wonderful Grotto ink, in my wonderful Diplomat, such a lovely pen to write and draw with. I probably should have grabbed a mask as a model but I think it turned out reasonably well without any references. Also I walked 9.5 kilometres today, so I was a bit tuckered when I drew this.







Two hands are holding a mask, we're looking at the inside.

Title: No.29 Bell
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.

Content Notes: This is based on one of my husband's short fictions, which you can read here if you like. The ink is Cosmic Glow from Diamine and the line work is done with my beloved Rotring Art Pen.

Title: No.27 Fire
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.24 Forgotten Things
Rating: G
Content Notes: Well a bit of a bonus today. Firstly thanks to [personal profile] galah_central for the suggestion of a dragon settling down for so long it became part of the landscape and forgotten by people, because I needed inspiration. And it's a special day, we have two inks, because today was the Pelikan Hub event, and Pelikan kindly gave registered attendees a bottle of the year's ink, which you can see below. It's a bright one!

It's Apricot Achar in the Eidelstone range. The other ink is the 24th ink the inkvent calendar that I'm nearly at the end of, it was the 2023 calendar and I think there were some beauties in it!

So without further Ado, here we are, not wonderful photos tonight but I'm a bit tuckered now.

Title: No.23 Undersea
Rating: G
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.

Rating: Gen
Fandom: original work
Notes: Made in Procreate for the prompts "rhythm" and "celestial. My pic's based on the various animations of the forward movement of our solar system through the galaxy. Imagine it all continuing to zoom and spiral off to the right at over 200 km/sec - although the real movements and oscillations are actually more complex, as this explains. (I also snuck Pluto in there as well - I'm not ready to give Pluto up yet!)

Rating: G

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.

A Celestial Dragon of some sort is making some galaxies and stuff, as you do.

Title: No.21 Rhythm
Rating: G
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.
