So I did December the 1st yesterday, and December the 2nd today.
I hope to do a larger work integrating them all this month, but for now, here's what I did with the first two inks.
The first ink is called Celestial Skies, and it's a very pretty aquamarine blue, with a shimmer in it that was hard to catch for me today in film. But you might get a hint of it as you click on the photos below. A vaguely Celestial dragon seemed like a good subject.
Drawn with a dip pen, and then I used a waterbrush to tease out some wash from the image, and I think it's a lovely shade.
The next day brings us an ink called Energy, and it's certainly vibrant. I tried another nib for this one, but I must have some grease from my hands on it, the point was pretty hydrophobic, and the ink didn't want to flow (it's not the ink, it's done this with others) Apparently I should stick the nib in a potato for 10 minutes or give it a rub with some alcohol (I tried Dr Bronner's but it didn't work) so I'll know for next time.
Anyways, this is a nice rich purple with a bronzeish sort of sheen, which I managed to catch a little of in the photo. I don't know where the UniGryphon came from, I was frustrated with the nib which was not cooperating enough to my tastes, so a monstrous beast emerged.
I mean, a bit more monstrous than usual, I guess, for me?
It's really a nice ink though. Did the wash thing with the waterbrush again.
