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?

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.

Title: Day 12 Wisp

Content Notes: Drawn directly with a fountain dip pen, no pencil. A water brush was also used for the background. This is the Bah Humbug chameleon ink from Diamine, which, as seems to be the wont (or won't) of these chameleon inks generally , not being very obvious to the eye or camera, one has to be really looking for it. And even then.
