#Inkvent 2023

[eagle-writes]

It’s December, which means INKVENT!!!

I was not feeling it yesterday, so we get days 1 and 2 today.

Day 1: Fortunes Gold, a “chameleon” ink (I think that just means multicolored sparkles). Very yellow.

Day 2: Cashmere Rose, a standard ink. Dusky pink.

I tried to photograph the sparkles a little better.

inkvent day 1

i’ve always enjoyed the idea that the reason loot doesn’t take up space in the briefcase is that Leon wears his wealth like a pirate.

(supplies talk after the break)

of course the first day of this calendar is some special effects ink that is impossible to photograph properly afffghhdddddcffffff

today’s ink, fortunes gold, is labeled as “chameleon”, which i guess means the shimmer in it is color shifting? if so the effect is very subtle, an orange yellow to green-ish shift depending on the angle.

while the chameleon effect does very little for me, i do really love the color. yellows are always difficult because they can be illegible, so i love a shading yellow-brown that reads as yellow but isn’t a strain to see.

BUT i was not going to try to ink the whole thing in this color. lololz no way. especially not with the sparkle.

so i went with an extra fine pilot desk pen and pilot parallel for the blacks and an uni emott pencil in yellow for the under sketch. i normally lightbox my sketch but these are supposed to be simple little sketches to test out the inks and not super involved…. i say as i plot out a full ass background. don’t expect this again if there are more of these!

i am so ready for this sketchbook from hell to be finished. i hate this canson ‘pen and ink’ paper so much. two or three more pages and i will be free. when your “no feathering” paper feathers all over the place when using an extra fine nib, you know you done fucked up.

It's Day 1 of Inkvent 2023! I'll be doing some swatches with inks by Diamine for the second year in a row. Today's ink is Fortunes Gold. It's a golden chameleon ink with lots of shimmer. Can't wait to see what other colors I'll get!

Paired with Diamine Inkvent 2022 Flame ink.

Nice green, with some teal to it. Standard ink.

Inkvent day 19: Cinnabun

Does smell vaguely of cinnamon rolls. Warm brown. Unsure if has same feathering problems as other scented inks because I ran out of the previous brand of cards I used for ink samples and the company no longer makes them. SIGH for not having proper experimental controls!

Inkvent day 25: Raise A Glass

This is a luscious deep purple with (I’m guessing chameleon) shimmer.

Inkvent day 11: Glacier

This is a light icy blue “star bright” ink, which I think is just a fancy way of saying it has an absolutely massive amount of sparkle.

For serious, just look at the cotton swab I used

So. Much. Shimmer.

Inkvent day 23: Fireside snug

Questions about whether that is a grammatically correct phrase aside, this is a toasty warm orange standard ink

Day 24: sugar snap

As in… sugar snap peas?? It’s, uh, pea green. With shimmer.

(Doing some catching up)

Inkvent day 13: Weeping Willow

Standard ink, warm neutral, kinda watery. I could see this being awesome to add a bit of shadow, or more art-y uses.

Day 14: Rainbows End

VIOLET! With violet/chameleon sparkles.

Day 15: Walnut.

Brown. Some olive to it.

Day 16: Merry & Bright

VERY GREEN with shimmer.

Inkvent day 7: Sweet Dreams

This bubble-gum pink scented ink smells like… really chemically bubble gum. It also feathers. A lot. (I noticed this with scented inks in previous years as well)
