A pretty odd one for today's MerMay. I was thinking about molluscs and some of those odd nudibranch species - colourful sea slugs and the like, and this guy developed. Drawn with the Kakimori steel nib, and one of the Van Diemen's ink moving day specials, Persian Princess. It is very sparkly.

I enjoyed getting the Akkerman bottle out again and using it with the Kakimori nib. Something has profoundly upset this mermaid. Poor thing. She was fun to draw though. She'll pull through, don't worry, the ocean is on her side.

After a busy day, and incidentally GMing a game where the PC's are all merfolk except for one water elemental, I had a little time to bring out the Kakimori dip pen once more and do a quick brush like sketch of this mermaid touching the surface and causing ripples.
I don't know if it's the ink - Van Diemen's Ink 9 Lives, but it didn't seem to flow as smoothly as previous inks. Or maybe the Kakimori is needing a bit of a scrub.
Anyway, I think she looks elegant for just a sketch.

I had a good 3 hours to draw this one, so the more relaxed pace shows I think. Back to the Kakimori nib, because, guess what, @rdm bought some ink from Van Diemen's Ink moving sale, which I told him not to do, but he did anyway. Naughty fellow isn't he?
It arrived today and this was the one he wanted me to try out.
This is Anna's Hummingbird Ink.

This #Merperson likes playing with bubbles! Just a quick drawing as I've had a busy day.
The ink is Parker's Quink. It's a decades old bottle, with just a black coloured label, but it's nice to use on occasion - with so many tempting other fancy inks around I don't often.I'm still using the Kakimori steel nib dipper.

I asked one of the folks on the Aussie #FountainPen Discord which ink they'd like me to use today and they chose Diamine's Bittersweet.
Of course that got Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve stuck in my head, oh yes, there was no shifting it. Go and look at the clip on Youtube and see if I got the sense of it with this mer version of Richard Ashcroft rudely swimming through a bunch of sea creatures.
This is #MerMay No.2 for MerMay2026

Friday I got MerMay on my mind! @mariibyrd reminded me today - you should check out their art too, it's very cool.
I drew most of this today with my new Kakimori dip nib, and I used Diamine's UltraSheen Laurel. As you can see, it really sheens. The paper is the very first page in my smaller Life Noble Note I got with my birthday money. Happy MerMay everybody!

CW: Spoilers for Diamine Inkvent Calendar Ink No.25
Most felicitous greetings of the season to you all and thank you for travelling along with me in this inky journey this month.
The last ink of the calendar is called "Myrhh the Merrier" ha ha I see what Diamine did there.
It's a pretty luscious dark teal with a sheen that I can't quite see in this light, but we'll see if we can take a better look later. And it has shimmer as well, in pretty blue. So it's both a dessert topping and a floor wax and very pretty it is too.
I thought I'd take a bit more time for our finale, and seeing as I'm staying at a seaside hotel for Christmas visiting my sister, the sea was on my mind. With the colour nice and nautical I wanted to create a sea monster that wouldn't look out of place on a mediaeval map of the seas... Here be Dragons and all that. And I started thinking about placoderms and sclerotic rings and gulper eels.
And this chappy appeared after 2-3 hours.
Now I'm not seeing any sheen there, but I don't have any sunlight to hand right now.
But the sparkle shows up pretty well.

CW: Spoilers for Diamine inkvent calendar 2025 No. 24
It's the second last day of the Diamine inkvent calendar for 2025 and this time it's another pigment. This one is named Antler.
It's flowing really well with the dip nib I'm using and is doing everything I ask of it.
In case you can't read my writing
"We had been 5 days surveying the surface of the frozen planet. Fatima noticed that one of the huge herbivores, the ones we had been calling megacorns due to the large single antler-like protrusion growing from the back of their heads, was a bit different. It was nearly 4 times the size of the typical megacorn, almost 6 metres long, and its protrusion was apparently carved with animal and bird designs, as well as eyes and stars.
As far as we knew, we were the first people on the planet. Were there inhabitants? And how impressive would they be, to be able to subdue a creature like this for what would have taken many hours for a skilled carver. Or was this a tame beast wandering? The most intriguing mystery of the place yet. We weren't keen to try going up to pat the creature yet.
(c) Alicia 'leece' Smith."

CW: Spoilers for Diamine inkvent calendar 2025 Day 23.
Today's inkvent is no. 23, and it's called "Let It Snow". Fat chance here, with a boiling hot Christmas day bearing down on us in Perth. It's going to be very much a shelter in place sort of day I think.
But back to the ink, it's a very pretty cerulean, made even prettier by the chameleon shimmer.
Again, this yellowish paper that I'm using - which is fine, great, recycled - isn't going to show it at its brightest.
But it will do for now.

CW: Spoilers for Diamine inkvent 2025 calendar 21-22
Well I am catching up, as yesterday I was flat out.
So yesterday's ink, The 21st is a Extreme Sheen ink, but unfortunately on this paper it does not really show it's extreme sheen. It's called Chaos. I thought what could be more chaotic than a flying cat so there we go. It's quite pleasant. It's a nice rich burgundy and the wash coming out from it also gives it a nice pink background. I will have to give it a go on some other paper. Perhaps I might do a drawing featuring all of the extreme machines that I have, which I think would be quite thrilling, at least for me.
Today's - the 22nd - ink is called Pineapple Spritz and it is both a pigment ink and a chameleon sparkle and unusually for a chameleon is quite happy to show off it's sparkle for the camera and you can see it quite clearly in the image. It's a nice dark gold. It's quite metallic in its appearance.
The dragon is enjoying blowing smoke rings :-)#inkvent #FountainPenink #Dippen #DrawingWithoutaNet

CW: Spoilers for Diamine Inkvent 2025 day 20. Also a chimera's bum.
It's day 20 of the Diamine Inkvent fun, and I've been thinking I haven't drawn a chimera for a while. So here you go.
This ink, a chameleon shimmer called "Ambience" is a warm browny orangey red and the chameleon sparkle is following the usual pattern of being quite subtle.
Chimera disrespectant just about.
Tried to catch it for you but it doesn't really photograph well in the time and lighting that I had. See if you can see any sparkle below. Oh well, it was fun to draw, and the sparkle is there but it's tiny.

CW: Spoiler warning as this shows the Diamine Inkvent calendar 2015 December 19th.
Today's ink is called 'Overcast'. It's a pleasant grey teal sort of a shade. But again I'm using the recycled paper sketchbook, and it's got this yellow shade, and it's very absorbent with almost no bleed. I dared to try a wash, and nothing doing, the ink pretty much just sat there like it was welded.
An interesting experiment anyway, and quite startling.You know, you're doing a watery sort of creature, and you'd quite welcome a bit of aquatic swooshiness but no, not this time. By this time I was a bit unnerved so I just finished up the drawing. I could have drawn into the damp paper to see what would happen but I wanted to get this posted, and I wasn't sure I wanted to do any more to this particular drawing, so perhaps I shall save such adventures for tomorrow. Only 6 more to go, but after that I have the 2024 month box from Van Diemen's Ink, and that can see out the rest of the month, along with the Rainbow Scarab.

CW: Spoilers for Diamine inkvent calendar 2025 No. 17 and 18
Well, circumstances prohibited posting yesterday but I did manage to catch up with the #DiamineInkvent2025 17 and 18.
No. 17 is a standard ink, a perfectly pleasant purple called "Gala". I've switched to another notebook with recycled paper and it's being okay, but it has a slight yellowish cast, so that will affect things. It doesn't have as much bleed as I expected so that was interesting. I think I'll not use a wash on it at this stage though, I'm not familiar with the paper and how it will react.
The #dragon was fun to draw. I tried to get the sense of a cat sitting with its back to you and turning its head around to look. You can be the judge of whether I was successful.
No.18 and I'm really happy because they've given us another ultrasheen . It's called "Laurel" and is an earth dark green, and then the sheen is a rich red in the right light.
I don't think this paper is as sheen kind as the Clare Fontain, but it is definitely there, and it's quite beautiful, as the #gryphon will attest.
All in all a pretty nice drawing experience.

CW: Spoilers for Diamine inkvent calendar 16th December
Well, I did draw this yesterday, down in Mandjoorgoordup at my sister's place, overlooking the sea and chilling out with her and mum. But it's not super convenient posting on the tablet, so here we are now. And hopefully you'll have another one within 12 hours or so, because it's Art Group today at the Shed, and that's always a good opportunity to settle into a drawing.
So yesterday's ink - the 16th is called Ruby Taffeta, and it's a chameleon shimmer. In the close up of the dragon's eye the different colours can be made out in the sparkle. I like this one and it washed really well too. I'm pretty much at the end of this sketchbook, I'll have to see how the other one is going.
People participating in #MonsterdonSavesChristmas this is the sort of artwork you might be looking at winning.

I was incredibly busy at the West Australian Boardgaming Association on Saturday - it was our big end of year bash and we were gaming from 11am to 11pm. Thusly I am now catching up with the Diamine Inkvent fun, so you get a three for one!
No. 13 the manticore is in an ink called Molten Basalt, it's a standard and is a fairly classy looking steely black blue.
The sugarplum fairy - No. 14 is drawn in a pigment ink called "Mittens" which cracked us up when we read it. It's a pigment ink, and it's holding fast against the wash from the "Frostbite" shimmer that I drew Number 15 in, the unicorn.
It's a very nice blue when washed, and its coppery sheen is intriguing. You can just make it out in this image detail below, but it's super subtle.
And that's us all caught up.

Today's ink is called "Bubbly" and is a shimmer clad gold. I've let the name guide me and we have here what I'm considering to be a combination of a Water and an Air elemental.
The ink grudgingly takes a wash, I'm wondering how'd go with Tomoe River or something. I'm not sure that Clare Fontane has been the best for these inks and what I do with them. Fine for writing perhaps, but it does go through a little bit.
But it's been heaps better than the Field Notes, it does tend to bleed right through with even just a little bit of work.

Day 11 of Diamine's Inkvent adventure with me, and we have an ink called "Brrr!"
It's listed as pigment and shimmer, and it's got a muted shimmer, and certainly resisted the wash I briefly tried on it before giving up.
Flows well in the dip pen but I don't think I'm going to be risking putting any of these pigments into my fountain pens.
It's a pretty colour.

Today's Diamine Inkvent ink, the 10th December 2025, is a purpley magenta chameleon shimmer. It's called Nostalgia.
It's pretty nice, and I even managed to capture some of the shimmer for you.
I had mixed success with the water brush but over all I think it's a pleasing effect.

Here we are on day 9 of my Diamine Inkvent advent-ure. I had a bit of an accident with this one, I didn't realize that I hadn't washed the nib properly so the head of this fanciful aquatic creature isn't as Diamine Bittersweet as it should be. I suspect the whole bottle now, all twelve mls of it, is now slightly less Bittersweet than it should be. Oops.
Oh well, don't take it as being the right shade, not that seeing it through a screen will be anything like accurate, hey. Whatever it is now it's a lovely green. It's a Standard ink.

I follow rolanni on Dreamwidth, who is better known as Sharon Lee, who is a writer. The Liaden books, which she co wrote with her sadly missed partner Steve Miller, feature Clan Korval, whose clan symbol is a dragon hovering over a giant tree, and the clan motto, "Flaran Cha'menthi" which means "I Dare".
Sharon was feeling a bit down in her last entry, so I commented that my next Inkvent ink would feature the clan motto. It was nice that this Diamine "Dreamcatcher" Ultrasheen was pretty snazzy!
It's a lovely ink!I don't often do fan art, so #LiadenUniverse and #SharonLee and #LeeandMiller folks enjoy!
