Some weekly/daily planning and some pens/mildliner swatches.
I’ve been a little quiet here and not posting as often. I think I’ll get back to it now. I had an interesting couple of weeks and I decided to take a week off to rest and recuperate from the stressful thing April was. I checked progress and adjusted my study goals too. I don’t know when exactly I’ll start work so, it was a good idea to feel refreshed and get back to studying again.

Inktober 18 is some uhhhh whatever (green edition). Thinking about a satyr xenophysician character and centaur alien skull anatomy. They have two tongues with fingerlike (or insect palp like) bones in them, and a jaw that hinges more like a crocodile’s than a mammal’s.

Mid-Century Burst | CC-Free
A tricky little shell challenge that you can get some use out of too! Tried to dig into some 70s inspo for the exterior on this one. This is 2 bed, 1 bath, fully-furnished and CC-free. Because of the limited size of the main shell, I added a detached garage with an apartment on top, which adds +1 studio bedroom and +1 bathroom.

The TS4 shell challenge I used for this lot was called "BubbleShell3" on the gallery from the ID "bubblesisgaming". I'm also playing around with using random palette generators for room inspo, this time from ColorHunt. It's been fun and I recommend using it to get out of your comfort zone!

Ahhh this was actually just a page for testing out different colors for another drawing, but it turned out so nicely that i wanted to post it! I am on a hyperfocus train with ancient egypt stuff rn and i found those goooorgeous acrylic paints in my room. So it was perfect for this kinda stuff <33 I then had the idea to try out gold ink and i am in loooove! I def wanna use metallic accents more often now, it just makes things sooo much prettier. (shoutout to my mom for borrowing me her old egypt books as references and for infecting me with her passion for this topic as a child <33 )

Swatching my inks on Iroful paper and Tomoe River paper for comparison
I don't think anything can beat the way TR shows sheening haha, some of the sheening inks are like 99% sheen and 1% actual colour 😂
It's also interesting that some swatches look more cool-toned on the Iroful paper; Sailor Yurameku Kyokkou, Sailor Yurameku Hana-gokoro, Ink Institute Mexican Hens, and Sailor Yurameku Kitsune-biyori
I always seem to have trouble capturing Sailor Shikiori Sakura-mori, Kin-mokusei, and Sailor Manyo Sakura on camera. They are NOT that neon irl and are very legible. Manyo Sakura is more on the lighter side but it still isn't like what those photos are showing, I enjoyed journaling with it this summer!

so i have the diamine inkvent calendar, and i usually wait until the end of the month to sit down and swatch them all. which i'm still going to do, but we also pulled out a few and played with them a little over the weekend, and um. glacier???

i feel like this star bright formula is going to be a Problem for me. at least i have some pens with removable feeds, because there's no way i'm not putting this in a pen.
(this has also made clear how much fine motor control i've lost in the last year, so my 2024 goals might include trying to regain that.)

Fountain Pen Ink Swatches

Seeing @unpretty post her fountain pen inks inspired me to share some of my own. All of the inks except for the DeAtremis are ones I'd purchased at one point or another but hadn't used. One of the Jinhao X750s is fitted with a Tachikawa G nib that I'd spent last night carving the feed down to fit. Sadly, I then discovered that G nibs are not compatible with lefties, so ignore the terrible writing and random splotches of green ink from where the pen tines would catch in the fibers and cause ink to fling everywhere.
I swatched on three papers: HP Premium 24 lb and two Daiso notepads (most Daiso paper is coated and very nice for fountain pens). I tried the two Diamine shimmer inks (Night Sky and Winter Miracle) in both F and M nibs to see how much shimmer was visible in each.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There were a number of surprises. I haven't used Diamine inks very much previously, so I hadn't expected them to be so wet. Some of them feathered even on my Daiso papers. In terms of colors, I thought I'd like Elf much more than I did; it appeared on the more olive end of green in the pictures I saw online but it was more of a Kelly green in real life. A perfect match to the pen I put it in, but not a color I particularly enjoy writing in.
Tumblr media
I also liked Twilight a lot more than I thought I would. I'd bought a six-pack of the 15 ml ink bottles because I liked the other colors, so I wasn't expecting much from this. However, it is a really beautiful desaturated bluejean color and reminds me of the ocean right before a storm.
The Colorverse Brane ink was loaded into a pen with a fude nib, which was new for me. I love how I can get anywhere from a fine to a stub-sized line with this nib.
Tumblr media
Brane has an intense blue-green shimmer that is very noticeable and contrasts beautifully with the olive green ink in real life, even though it comes out very underwhelming in pictures.
Tumblr media
Conversely, in real life Night Sky's silver shimmer seems pretty underwhelming, but it pops in pictures.
Tumblr media
Finally, Winter Miracle has an intense blue shimmer that pools almost like a sheen, but I couldn't find any hint of the gold sheen even on the Daiso papers (which are normally really good at showing sheen).

Winter is coming. 👀🖋️ I’m annoyed with myself TBH because I acquired a ton of beautiful fall themed (and expensive) fountain pens in all the joy-sparking, warm, and cozy colors of the season, and not only did I not showcase *any* of them in my photos or videos, I also didn’t even INK many of them. Instead, I skipped right to Winter and inked 6 new sparkly pens. Whyyyy. 😂
But can you blame me?! I’ve been feeling so eager to dive into soft purple and dusty blue fountain pen inks, shimmers, and fun but neglected specialty ground nibs from my collection. I couldn’t wait anymore! I’m excited to show you what I have inked!
Have you already started planning your winter ink and pen lineup, or are you still loving Autumn colors?
